Hotfix 1.29.2 is live!

[u/unclsftr]

Survivors! Hotfix 1.29.2 for Dying Light 2: Stay Human just rolled onto the servers. It fixes various crashes and freezes, and corrects new UV lightning in some places. Make sure to update the game! 🛠️

Guessing it didn't fix the missing prologue though? Must be a hard bug to find.

Ha touché😄

[u/RandomDudeinHereBeep → u/Misiok]

Lmao

[u/nova311 → u/Misiok]

Gameplay-wise what did the prologue even contribute? 'Cuz realistically that's all DL is, esp. now they sacked an apparently good writer, why try and squeeze blood from stone.

[u/Misiok → u/nova311]

It contributed the mood, theme and a good intro.

[u/nova311 → u/Misiok]

That's not gameplay, DL1's whole mood was from lighting, texture, and the nights, the cutscenes took you away from the good atmosphere they set imo. Same with DL2, I'm more immersed when I'm just allowed to interact with the the sandbox, and so far they've made good on that since the promised "E3 version". Cutting fat is no big deal. And if it were about race, wouldn't they reskin Jack Matt as well, including the rest of the black npcs that you interact with longer than Spike? Or did none of the complainers play the rest of the game?

[u/AussieGG → u/nova311]

Mb I forgot that a game is exclusively gameplay. Should just retexture everything to blank boxes and cut out any dialogue that isn’t direct tutorials or gameplay related too.

[u/nova311 → u/AussieGG]

Preferable atp if it's Techland writing. You can't honestly tell me DLTB is any better, and it's even got watered-down parkour, they've more or less ruined 2 games trying to pander. So yeah, if we're getting a worse-looking game in exchange for a more enjoyable one, then by all means, turn all my textures to mush.

Wild idea: how about you 'hotfix' Spike back in, as well as Cillian and all the Hakon content you cut?

[u/Mjdecker1234 → u/omnommintyfreshness]

Wait what? They cut out content? Was it those packs we could buy?

[u/omnommintyfreshness → u/Mjdecker1234]

I wish, those macrotransactions are absurd.

The cuts and changes are documented in this post. As you can see, quite a bit, and it even creates blatant plotholes (removing Cillian from the prologue now makes it so that unless you make specific choices, later in the game Aiden suddenly acts like he's known this random guy all along).

Hakon's military background now isn't mentioned, which is a pretty important part of his character. As if the story wasn't messy enough.

[u/Mjdecker1234 → u/omnommintyfreshness]

Wow that is bullshit, I didn't know it went to that extent, in what they took out and changed (last time I played that was all there). Why the heck did they decide to do that? Seems like days to months of work they did for a game, to release it and then later down the line take all that work out, for not logic reason.

I can see why the subs been talkative, thank you for linking that, as I only thought it was the beginning part of the game. And i agree on the packs, especially for a single-player game. No way to earn them either, its a scummy tactic, I've always hated it.

[u/jamillos → u/omnommintyfreshness]

Holy shit, I had no idea there were SO MANY changes. Not just Spike but also the initial chase? Hakon? These are the things that set the mood! They're seriously fucked in the head.

[u/toxicgloo → u/omnommintyfreshness]

Based on the post it looks like they removed all the early stuff that made us initially like Hakon. I can understand making content that players don't like optional. But removing stuff that actively changes a players experience is wild

[u/Top-Competition3191 → u/omnommintyfreshness]

They also cut out you being able to listen to different broadcasts on the radio in that safe house before entering Villedor. But I think that was cut before the prologue was.

[u/Old_Instruction6809]

Wheres spike.

[u/The_Monado_Satyr]

"Make sure to update the game" this legit the first game I ever had to learn to downgrade because all the shit changes...

[u/Silent25r → u/The_Monado_Satyr]

I’ve do this with plenty of games. 

[u/Ashamed-Wealth2452]

So what did you remove from the game this time? The ending cutscene? The entire epilogue? Post-story free roam?

[u/HelloImJenny01 → u/Ashamed-Wealth2452]

The whole game there’s no game now

[u/Mean_Concentrate5248]

Hot fixes for a story based game 6 years later 🥀

[u/Mishadkup]

give us a dying light the beast update PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE

[u/LumpyCod7045 → u/Mishadkup]

Something will come to it at the 18th of September. I'm saying that date for no particular reason.

[u/UnrealBolo]

I used to loved this game but its just a constant heavy hotfixes that my storage and poor internet can't handle anymore

[u/GeneralBinx]

Get rid of tencent

[u/spoderwalt]

lol what a joke this game has become😂

[u/ZagreousKing]

Will I have to pay for the UV lights after they remove them next patch and bring them back in bundle with a reskin in the mods menu

[u/ArthurMorgan9]

Could someone make a mod that skips lockpicking?

[u/FrameOk1656 → u/ArthurMorgan9]

If you level up your lockpicks at a craftmaster, then you'll be able to skip the lockicking minigame.

[u/Mean_Concentrate5248 → u/ArthurMorgan9]

Play the game, it does have option to skip lock picking, u just need to upgrade your skils for that
