Another issue that has been putting the game back is server problems that are resulting in the Dying Light 2 Can’t Join Player Session error and the Dying Light 2 connection failed error. While some of the error may be due to a fault at the server-end, there may be other solutions as well. Keep reading to find out.

Ensure that the Latest Update is installed
