How to Fix Black Screen/ Freezes in Dying Light 2

As a slightly more common issue for all games, the fix for this is fairly simple. In general, the main things that cause this kind of issue tend to be settings improperly interacting or corrupted files within the game. Here's how to fix these kinds of issues:

1. Make sure to disable Antivirus protection against the game, or whitelist Dying Light 2
2. Unplug external USB devices that aren't neccesary for gameplay and newer headsets
3. Uninstall and reinstall GPU drivers
4. Disable RTX
5. For laptop users, the GPU may always have issues, but players can help their GPU by removing all unneccesary applications and files. Generally, all computers work better with more free space in their memory.
6. For Steam players, make sure to Verify the game files
7. Disable any overlays, overclocking, and/or other applications before running the game
8. As a last resort, players can enable fullscreen mode, turn off the Vsync, and lower the graphics setting
