How To Fix Dying Light 2 PlayStation Crash

According to Techland, if you are experiencing problems with the game crashing, then the solution is to clear your console cache. It's important to emphasise that following this process will not delete any of your saved data from the game.

Clear Cache On PlayStation 4

To clear the cache on your PS4 console, complete the following steps:

  • Start by switching off your PS4 using the power button on the front panel of the console.
  • Once the PS4 is off, press and hold the power button until you hear two beeps: the first will be as you press the button, the second about seven seconds later.
  • Use a compatible USB cable to plug the DualShock controller into the console. Press the PS button on the controller.
  • Select Rebuild Database.

Clear Cache On PlayStation 5

If you have a PS5, then the process is slightly different:

  • Start by turning off the console fully. This means a proper switch-off, rather than using Rest Mode.
  • Wait for twenty seconds or so, and then unplug the console from the mains power supply.
  • Leave your PS5 unplugged for a couple of minutes.
  • After this time has elapsed, plug the console back in, and power it up.
  • Try relaunching Dying Light 2, to see whether the issue is resolved.

Whether you are on PS4 or PS5, clearing the console cache should be sufficient to fix the crashing issue. But if for some reason, you find yourself still experiencing the issue, then you can try reaching out to Techland Support or PlayStation Support for further assistance.
