Techland says the next Dying Light: The Beast hotfix will focus on reducing stuttering and frame rate drops, with a rollout planned for early next week, based on its latest hotfix update.

Version 1.2.3 is currently in testing and zeroes in on performance and stability, plus a handful of gameplay issues that have been blocking progress for some players. Techland also cautions players to steer clear of unverified mods for now, citing crash risk.

Area What’s being verified

Techland frames the timing as contingent on quality checks, writing:

We’re aiming to roll this out early next week, once we’re confident the update meets our quality bar.

Availability and rollout

The studio is targeting an early‑next‑week release window after testing completes. Full patch notes will be published when the hotfix goes live. Until then, Techland advises avoiding unverified mods, which it says can cause crashes and degrade performance.
