[Updated] Dying Light 2 players can't join or connect for co-op & screen flickering on PS5 issues trouble many

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on February 04, 2022) follows:

Dying Light 2 is the latest installment in the saga of first-person survival horror games developed by Techland. It is available on both PC and consoles (previous and current generation).

One of the most attractive possibilities of Dying Light 2 is being able to complete the main campaign in online co-op mode with friends. However, this option is not working correctly according to reports.

Meanwhile, Dying Light 2 players on PS5 are facing a particular issue that causes random screen flickering during gameplay, which could be uncomfortable for the eyes.

The first of the reported issues is the screen flickering that occurs in Dying Light 2 for PS5 console. This randomly causes the screen to go black for a fraction of a second (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12).

Screen flickering on PS5

Is anyone else experiencing their monitor or tv doing this black flickering thing for not even a fraction of a second consistently on the PS5? Pretty sure it isn’t my own fault as this has only happened in this game.

Glitches and annoying screen flickering on Ps5

Lastly and the most annoying is that I keep having a flashing black screen that flashes in and out now and then. Its happened in both cutscenes and gameplay and its really freaking annoying to the point I dont want to bother with the game till its fixed.

While screen flickering only lasts for a short time, it happens so much that it could end up being an annoyance in the eyes of players.

Dying Light 2 players are also facing an issue related to co-op mode that could happen on various platforms and consoles (unlike the previous glitch).

Some players report that they are currently unable to invite others to start a game in co-op mode. They also cannot accept new co-op invites (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).

How do I invite my friends on ps5? We unlocked co-op and still cant play together, whenever we accept an invite it doesn’t actually put us in the game. Nothing happens even after we restarted our Dying Light 2 app and tried to change our game type to friends only and public.

Unable to invite friends for co-op?

Do you have to get to a certain point in the game before you can invite friends for co-op? I’m about an hour in and just got to Villedor and same for my friends, but we don’t seem to have the option yet. We’re both on Steam, what gives?
