Dying Light 2 Stay Human - CO-OP Broadcast (Pre-Recorded)

Dying Light 2 has a hotfix for shaky co-op connections

A hotfix is out for brand new co-op game 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 - specifically, unreliable connections and the inability to join other players' games. The team says it's also working on fixing the Techland website, where players who pre-ordered Dying Light 2 have to go to redeem their in-game rewards.

"Two 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," a Techland community manager posted on the Steam forums earlier today, February 4. "Our team is on it. We will update you on the progress."

About five hours later, a hotfix was ready 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, "just in case". The patch itself is around 260MB, so you won't have long to wait once it appears in the queue.

Dying Light 2 has five times as many players as the original Dying Light ever did

There sure are a lot of people heading to Villedor to test their wits - and parkour skills - against the infected hordes of Dying Light 2. The new zombie game has already quintupled the all-time peak player count of the original Dying Light, and the weekend has yet to get underway.

According to SteamDB, at the time of writing this, some 228,495 players were in-game in Dying Light 2. That puts it in the top five most-played games of the moment, just below perennial crowd favourites like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, and Apex Legends. It's around five times the all-time peak concurrent player count that Dying Light hit shortly after launch, which topped out at 45,876 shortly after its own launch in 2015.

It's fair to say that Dying Light 2 has had a roaring debut. Right now, it's tracking at 30th in the list of highest concurrent player peaks on Steam, ever - and the figure above is only going to rise as we head into the weekend.

Dying Light 2 Inhibitor locations: upgrade health and stamina

Looking for inhibitor locations in Dying Light 2? If you want to survive in the city of Villedor, you're going to need to upgrade your health and stamina bars right away. These upgrades drastically improve your survivability, allowing you to withstand tougher foes and spend more time swinging your weapon or climbing tall buildings. Inhibitors are the key to improving your physical stats, but they can be tricky to find if you don't know what to look for.

Most of the inhibitors you find in Dying Light 2 are tucked away in the corners of buildings, so you've got to stay alert as you hunt these items down. Inhibitors are typically found in GRE Crates, but they can also appear outside these containers in rare circumstances. GRE Anomalies also drop inhibitors, but you may want to avoid these boss fights in the early game as they can be difficult.

Permanently upgrading either your health or stamina requires three inhibitors. Upgrading either of these stats also improves your immunity, giving you more time to explore without having to rely on immunity boosters. Here's everything you need to find every inhibitor in Dying Light 2.
