Another hotfix update for Dying Light: The Beast was rolled out to players today. Hotfix 1.2.3 is focused on fixing a few quest issues, addressing some performance woes, and making Biters a little less grabby.
For PlayStation 5 players, there is a specific fix for some graphical glitches when using HDR.
What isn't included in this update is the return of raytracing. The graphical feature was promoted heavily ahead of the release of Dying Light: The Beast on PC. However, a last second issue came up, which caused raytracing to be removed from the game a mere hour ahead of its scheduled release. As part of that pre-release announcement, Techland said that they hoped to get raytracing added back into the game as soon as possible, but so far no new information has surfaced.
