On February 4, Dying Light 2: Stay Human was released. The long-awaited new game from Techland earned 78 points out of 100 on Metacritic, and some journalists called Dyne Light 2 one of the best open-world zombie games. However, after the release, many gamers encountered difficulties when launching the game and poor optimization. We decided to compile a list of all known solutions to technical problems.

If the game does not start for you, then use the advice from the developer:
