Quests not Updating After Completing Tasks Bug Solution – Dying Light 2 Stuck in a Safe House

If you encounter the bug where your quests are not updating after completing tasks in Dying Light 2, the first solution is to restart the game. After the reload is complete, the next stage of whatever mission you were on should trigger. You might lose a bit of progress, but if you’re stuck in the middle of a quest, you’re not making any progress anyway. So, reload the game, and you should be fine. For a while. Unfortunately, there is one problem with this solution, which is that it’s usually temporary. Quite often, the game will revert to its previous state of not being able to update your quest after about fifteen minutes, maybe half an hour.

The other solution is to go into the online section of the menu, then head into your friends list. Enter into a quick match, then drop said match. While this solution is also not always permanent, it will complete the quest without you having to exit the game completely. Might save you a little bit of time, if nothing else. But, yeah; neither of these are guaranteed to fix the problem for good. It’ll just help you get through that particular step your stuck on, but odds are good you’ll run into it again. Hopefully, the devs are gonna patch the bug out soon.

    23rd of feb now and 2nd patch and still my quests wont update i have to restart the game for every quest i do. 2nd patch fixed it for 24 hours but now its started again and im back to square one. Having to restart the game after every mission is a joke.

    If you’re doing a story start a side quest and finish it and your story should be fine again

    Stuck in the quest where I have to meet Juan and Matt in the Fish Eye. I meet them go through the cutscene and then it doesn’t progress and just marks a peacekeeper at the other door where the two exit from but from the other side.

    I’m stuck in the “orders” quest. I’m at the part where you kill the renegades in the tower and Lieutenant Rowe is a floor above you, apparently there are peacekeepers you have to save in order to progress the mission and they just didn’t spawn in for me. I’ve restarted and redone loaded my game already; anyone have any solutions??

      Same issue here. The door at the top of the stairs is unable to be opened.

    I got stuck on the mission “The Breakthrough”. It kicked me off of it one time on my Xbox. When I loaded back in, it said I completed it and I no longer have any story quests.

        latterly happening right now to me, game crashed while I was rushing back to frank, loaded it back up, worked fine, did the cutscene, now the quest won’t update

          I had to return to where the van ended when you followed it and it automatically restarted my cut scene

    I’m in “the raid” quest. Cleared all the enemies out, took their flag, but it won’t let me proceed to finding Carl or finding the tango hotel. It gave me the completion for killing the raiders after I quit to game menu but still can’t proceed.

    I can’t do the main story. And there’s a black ? And I can’t do anything with it.

    So after binging for a solid 12 hours I’ve found the best way to fix this is to
    1. Click options

    2. Online Menu

    3.Click friends back out click it again back out then go back to the game and the load should go through if it’s not loading up properly 🙂

      This actually works I heard you had to be under 300 friends but this is much faster and better than deleting all my friends thanks a lot!!!

    Hi. I played for about 4 hours on Friday (release day) and have just gone to play again. I left the game I Getting stronger quest and just completed the Go to sleep quest. However I should now be sent to the hospital to get bio thing but there are no active quests at all anymore. When I loaded it said something about a later version save.
    I’m about to put the game in the trash unless someone has any ideas how to get a quest to open!
    Thanks!

    1. A
      Adam

      I’m literally the exact same! Hospital bit after sleeping and everything, including the later version message when I load up the game again.
      No quests showing and every time I run off into different places to see if it fixes itself it says I’m “leaving the mission area” and kills me after 5 seconds.

      Did yours start working again or did you manage to fix it? What did you do?

      Same! Stuck after “getting stronger” mission and sleeping. Can go to the hospital, drop down from roof and enter the bus like I saw in walk through, but can’t open the door to get in the hospital through the bus. Also no active mission in menu or on HUD…

    3. B

      I have the exact same issue, dit you find something that helps fixing it??

    In the mission, “let’s Waltz” when you have to repower the substation my mission won’t progress and I’m stuck. I’ve tried restarting the game and it still won’t progress

    Can’t go up an elevator during the epilogue of the game so I’m stuck in a limbo of not being able to finish the story or return to the main area. Guess I’m not playing until this is fixed

    1. M
      Mark Dziony

      I got the same Bug. Elevator doesnt come

      How did you fix it?

    My quests are not proceeding. They are just stuck. I’m so disappointed ?

  23. J
    Jake

    I did what you said still doesn’t work

  24. G

    NEW FIX: if your in an area where you can’t change your online game type use the call for help in the inventory menu screen ?

  25. G

    FIX: it doesn’t work every time but if you pause go settings and change your online game type you will see the save in the top right and then change it back and it should work.

      I can’t proceed on quest and can’t play online I got a bad copy of the game maybe

      1. J
        Jayme

        How does one get a “Bad Copy” of a game? It’s not like a gallon of milk. I assure you, your copy is the exact same copy as everyone else’s.

          Nothing I’ve read has worked for me and I’m wondering if rolling back my game will help because I’m tired of not getting story quests

          1. M
            matt

            maybe if you revert to the very 1st version and turn auto updates off, for that you will need to reinstall it again though. for me i had no problems with it until the first patch. the y have just released the 1.2.1 patch and it is still doing it for me too. it is driving me crazy

    2. J
      Joshua

      If this doesn’t work for you or you are unable to change game type go to online menu from pause menu or map/inv screen with the menu button on your controller(ps5-3 lines,ps4-options button) and open up your friends list and wait a few seconds and back out. You will know if it works because when u back out of the friends tab and then the online menu screen the game will pause for a split second as it saves or does whatever . I just mash the circle button until they are all exited out of that’s how I know it pauses cause it takes that much longer to start playing again ?. But it should pop up with your next quest objective as soon as they close. I have couple videos of it in action but can’t upload from my ps5 when I tried.

      1. A
        Armin Redzepagic

        So I did all the objectives and I got the black screen glitch so I decided to close app and restart. Now it says I did all the objectives but it won’t give me the next mission what do I do
