PC specs?

It's weird because after the last patch came out there was a 256MB update if I remember correctly to solve that problem because the same thing happened to a user, I have a GTX 970, 32GB of memory and an I7 4790K and the game works for me perfectly, but as I always say every PC is a different world we can have the exact same PC with the same components and still have problems with the games.

#

i only have the free dlcs

#

#

and when i try to start the game i get like Dying Light 2 in my screen and then it dissapears and the game stops

novel shard
novel shard
#

and that didn't work

novel shard
#

and the werid thing is that i dont get a message

#

i dont get a crash message

#

its really weird

#

go to google search for this steam_api64.dll and put it where ever ur shortcut is and this time start game without steam

#

wdym shortcut

#

and how do i put the file in it

#

no i mean if ur shortcut is on desktop just put that file on desktop like any other icon

#

u mean dying light shortcut?

#

yes

#

ok but if i put the file on my desktop

#

what do i do next

#

start game like normal and see

#

wait so i dont put the file inside the game folder?

#

when u download it just unzip it and copy and past to desktop thats it

#

alr lemme try

#

turn off steam?

novel shard
#

ok so do i only put the steam_api64.dll on my desktop?

#

ur problem is not the game it is steam

#

alr imma give it a try

novel shard
#

i go smoke and be back i hop that will fix it

#

nope

#

doesnt work

#

sadly

#

i put the file on my desktop and dying light 2

#

closes steam

#

and tried to launch dying light 2 but not did it not work but it also auto-opened steam again

#

lemme try uninstalling steam

#

and reinstalling

#

sorry

#

😦

#

thats what i found when i was troubleshooting the game

#

its fine

#

its jsut really weird

#

so u start the game and u get a black screen?

#

no its even weirder

#

i start the game

#

and get a partial screen with the text Dying Light 2 and then that window closes and the game stops

#

dont know do u get the menu part?

#

no

#

shit

#

it wont open

#

so i cant acces the in game settings

#

i also contacted the devs

#

go to techland forums and ask there

#

novel shard

#

rn im trying to reinstall steam and then dying light

#

and maybe that'll work

novel shard
#

@novel shard You would have to format the PC and install Windows 10, I don't know why people install Windows 11 with all the problems it has and if you don't want to format, refund the game and that's it.
