Techland announced today that it is currently working on a performance patch for the PC version of Dying Light.
The Retouched update for Dying Light that improves graphical features has been released; here's how it compares with the Enhanced Edition.
I remember playing this for the first time on the PS4 and it knocking me sick and hurting my eyes due to the horrible motion blur and FPS.
Played it a lot on pc a year later. Then again on ps5 once they dropped the 60fps update. I'll be giving it another go. Mad how they have kept updating this game for 10 years.
Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.
It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!
But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.
It has been more than ten years since Dying Light was released, but what happened to the $386,000 'My Apocalypse Edition' of the game?
Wtf did this edition come with ? A real helicopter and a real zombie virus ?
For one lucky person willing to spend $386,000, the My Apocalypse Edition of Dying Light promised a staggering collection. It included the buyer’s face in the game, a human-sized ‘Volatile’ statue, and parkour lessons with a freerunning team. It also came with night vision goggles, an all-expenses paid round trip to Techland’s offices, and four signed copies of the game. Oh, and it also came with a custom-built, ‘zombie-proof’ survival shelter.
LOL but it was a stunt from the team:
‘It was a PR stunt and got a lot of media attention for its wild and over-the-top nature, it was designed to generate buzz around the game’s release. It did a great job of getting the game noticed, though! But nobody purchased it – thankfully, I guess!’
Loving this game. I just turned my textures from high to medium and fixed my s-s-s-stutters and not that major a difference either.
I really want this game but waiting until a few patches have rolled out.
If the game is running like ass for you then the best advice I've found is to disable sun shadows. Google how to do that, there are some short guides for you. And then turn all other settings to low. This increased my FPS to the point where I'm usually running around 60+ . There are still tons of slowdowns but I'm able to play and enjoy the game now . Dying light is shaping up to be this year's Crysis. A good looking game so poorly optimized, pc's in 5 years will have trouble running it perfectly
Does anyone wonder if they'll be able to patch in more control schemes?
I want to move the jump button, but at the same time don't know of any better placement of it... (seeing as a X-button might restrict view while running)
Runs fine on my 770. Turned viewing distance to zero and put textures to medium to guarantee a solid 60 (runs around 75fps without any large drops)
