Dying Light 2 is a first-person survival game where players must survive in a world infested with zombies and other dangers.
The game has only been available for a few days, so early players have been finding a set of issues that need to be fixed to get the best possible experience.
Among the glitches that some Dying Light 2 players are facing is a ‘Leaving the mission area’ message that causes a death loop when loading the game.
Dying Light 2 death loop ‘Leaving the mission area’ bug
The issue causes some Dying Light 2 players to get stuck in the game. Once they enter a mission or area, they receive a ‘Leaving the mission area’ message after the loading screen, then die a few seconds later.
“Leaving mission area” bug
Has anyone else had the bug where you spawn in and it says “leaving mission area” and just kills you on repeat? I literally can’t progress the game. And I wanna know if anyone else has been experiencing this/knows a fix to it.

Some players report that nothing they tried to fix the issue helped. The bug reportedly persists after restarting the game (or even restarting the console).
After I load in I keep dying due to a “leaving the mission area” prompt. I’ve tried fast traveling to old villidor, closing and restarting the game, restarting the console, nothing has worked so far. Is there a way to access previous save points? I’m on Xbox.
Techland team is aware, potential workaround
The Techland team is already aware of the death loop glitch. The company published on Twitter a list of problems that they are working to solve, and the mentioned bug is present.
The company only says that the fix will arrive ‘in the coming days’. So, there is no specific information about an ETA for the update.
However, the glitch is a priority for the company and they reflect this on their ‘Current Hot Issues’ page. Techland even offers a workaround: go to the Online menu, select favorites and online friends, then resume the game.
First report
Dying Light 2 patch 1.0.4 has been submitted for certification on both PlayStation and Xbox, and it will be available by the end of this week. But unfortunately, it does not include any fix for the ‘Leaving the mission area’ bug.
