• Check your internet connection: The first thing that might be responsible for your problem is the internet connection. Use the Internet Speed Test if your internet works.

2. Allow Dying Light through the Firewall

Windows Firewall is a great security feature that keeps your system safe from various threats from different sources. The only flaw is that it is known for falsely flagging your games and apps as threats. To solve this, add Dying Light to the Firewall exception list.

1. Click on the Windows icon, type Windows Defender Firewall, and open it.
   
2. Click on Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.
   
3. Click on Change Settings and Allow Another App.
   
4. Select Browse, and navigate to the Dying Light installation folder.
5. Click on the game executable file (.exe) and select Open.
6. Check the checkbox in columns Private and Public in the Dying Light row and hit OK.
7. Restart your PC.

3. Clear cache files

Games and programs on your PC create cache files to store details which allows the app to start and run smoother. However, if these files are corrupted, they will cause issues when you launch your app.

1. Use the Windows Key + R shortcut to open the Run dialog, type %localappdata%, and hit OK.
   
2. Use the CTRL + A shortcut to select all files in the folder.
3. Hit the Delete Key to delete all of the files in the folder.
   ▫ If prompted to confirm, click on Yes.
   ▫ If some files can’t be deleted, click on Skip.
   

Extra steps

If you still didn’t solve the issue, try to:

• 📞 Contact your ISP: If you have a general issue with the internet, and it’s not only related to the Epic online services, explain to your ISP the problem and steps you already took to solve it.
• 🔙 Rollback the drivers: Some of your drivers might have compatibility issues, so we advise you roll back them to the previously installed version. Usually, this happens with GPU and network drivers.
