<\/div>\n

A hotfix is out for brand new co-op game<\/a> Dying Light 2, which launched less than 24 hours ago. The small patch is aimed at addressing issues players have run into when playing co-op \u2013 specifically, unreliable connections and the inability to join other players\u2019 games. The team says it\u2019s also working on fixing the Techland website, where players who pre-ordered Dying Light 2 have to go to redeem their in-game rewards.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo things on the top of our list: disconnects in co-op mode and problems with redeeming awards, codes, and other in-game content, including Twitch Drops from TechlandGG,\u201d a Techland community manager posted on the Steam forums<\/a> earlier today, February 4. \u201cOur team is on it. We will update you on the progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

About five hours later, a hotfix was ready<\/a> to download. Techland says it should improve the stability of co-op mode connections, but advises players to shut down and re-launch Steam once the patch is downloaded, \u201cjust in case\u201d. The patch itself is around 260MB, so you won\u2019t have long to wait once it appears in the queue.<\/p>\n

Separately, players have had difficulty accessing pre-order rewards through Techland\u2019s website. These include the curved cavalry sword \u2018The Hussar,\u2019 and to get them, you need to set up an account on Techland\u2019s site, link it with the platform where you bought the game, and input a special code found in the main menu.<\/p>\n

That process isn\u2019t working at the moment \u2013 the high volume of Dying Light 2 players<\/a> may have overwhelmed Techland\u2019s server capacity. In any case, it\u2019s not currently possible to link your Techland.gg account with Steam or Epic at the moment, but the devs say a fix is in the works. So don\u2019t worry: you\u2019ll be slicing and dicing infected with the Hussar before too long.<\/p>\n
