Techland seems to be doing everything in its power to further polish and enhance the PC version of Dying Light. After releasing the first PC patch that offered proper multi-threading functionality, the company revealed that it is currently looking into some reports that suggested a possible memory leak, and issued a statement regarding the game’s mods (that were blocked from the latest version).
According to Techland, it was never their intention to block mods. Therefore, the company is currently working on a quick patch that will re-enable common tweaks.
“With the recent patch (1.2.1) on Steam we blocked cheating to make sure the game’s PvP system (Be The Zombie) would not be abused. This, however, had the side-effect of hindering mod-makers from making changes to the game.
Creating obstacles for modders has never been our intention, and we are sorry for the inconvenience. We are now working on a quick patch that will re-enable common tweaks while stopping cheating in the game’s multiplayer mode.
At Techland, we have always supported the mod community, and loved seeing how our own game can be changed by the players. A big part of the original Dead Island’s success was the passion and creativity of mod-makers from our community. We want the same for Dying Light. For quite some time, we have been working, and still are, on giving modders all the power we can.”
As for the game’s memory leak issues, Techland claimed that is investigating them and will release a patch that will – most probably – address them.
When a fan asked Techland about them, the team responded with the following message:
“Thank you for your query – we’re working on solving the issue as part a future update.”

“Creating obstacles for modders has never been our intention”
Then why give the modders DCMA claims. Smh you should be ashamed techland
I don’t know why people are surprised. Techland is a sh**ty developer, and always have been.
Lets look at some of their previous gems
Call of Juarez: The Cartel (has an actual achievement for killing black people)
the mediocre Dead Island series
and…. well the rest is just a whole bunch of trash.
I don’t know why people expected much from this…
I bought Dead Island and I couldn’t even play it because there was no way to change the shallow FOV. There wasn’t a config file to edit and there were no mods to change the FOV. What kind of nonsense is that?
Really? because it was as easy as extracting a data file with 7zip and editing one or two lines.
Yeah, that was some next-level console-port annoyance. I wrote off my $5 investment and moved on to better games.
what is that achievement called? just curious..
It is all covered in this.

Call of Juarez,Call of Juarez Bound in Blood and Call of Juarez Gunslinger are great games.
A lot of companies outsource the copyright claim crap so mistakes like these happen.
Love the name and profile picture
Off topic: I’m not a programmer (despite having the opportunity to study, but I’m thinking of giving up), but would it be hard to have a proper “open” and/or “modular engine”? Like you can build your game, but giving the player/modders access to all the options to fully customize it?
I always dream with a engine that overwhelm me with options, not only to modding stuff, but in game (visuals and gameplay aspects) aswell…
well the game would have to be open source i guess. but even then, modifying it would be only be possible by people that knows their stuff. normally the more the tool allows you to do the more complex it is. theres plenty engines that make it somewhat easy to build simple games. unreal engine 3 is one them and its free to use but dont go in there hoping to make a game in a few minutes lol
Yeah, the game is using about ~1GB more RAM than it should… & still crashing once every other hour :
At the moment looks and runs better than FC4 like 800% better!
Thank you techland and we still wait for more updates like 1.2.1
It runs better on NVIDIA hardware. Far Cry 4 runs better on AMD hardware.
http://www.techspot.com/review/917-far-cry-4-benchmarks/page3.html
http://www.techspot.com/review/956-dying-light-benchmarks/page3.html
better than FC4 doesn’t mean optimized. better than basicly a s**t is still a s**t.
also they fixed FC4 after i guess 6th or 7th patch.
I said 800% better in terms of optimization and no sadly they didn’t fix FC4 i have it on uplay latest updates /latest driver etc etc still its the worst optmized game of the century 😐
I can confirm that and many others with 1.7.0 patch ofc
i will post on youtube how to not buy Far Cry 4 the worst optmized game for PC ever created!
Dying Light runs extremly good though 60 FPS max out no AA <3 1080p
PS: if i will regret something in my life its the fact that i bought Far Cry 4 😐
i’m not trying to defend FC4, hell i didn’t even play it. but at least a gtx 970 or 980 can get 60fps all the time on FC4 even with nvidia’s fur after updates, but no PC can get 60fps on dying light on ultra (yet), even after the downgrade patch. it’s not worst but it’s not better.
come on, it’s not worst than ACU at least.
If u turn down the view distance and shadows only on high and everything ranked to the top i think most of the PC will be able to run it 60 FPS solid !
While Far Cry 4 has fps drops/stutter on GTX 970,GTX 780Ti(no OC) idk about GTX 980
PS : its uploading the Far Cry 4 with latest update!
nice 1st April joke!
Far Cry 4 runs like s**t i am sorry pure s**t i rather play Watch Dogs instead of that lazy port second hand made by some lazy a*s developers from Ubisoft!
Yeah, Far Cry 4 was some poorly optimized crap. Same with Watch_Dogs.
Ubisoft spent weeks pulling apart and rebuilding AC: Unity, but they just released a tiny patch for FC4 that just mitigated the problem but didn’t eliminate it.
For some reason the $60 people spent on AC was worth more than the $60 I spent on FC4. Screw Ubisoft.
Don’t bother with him. He’s doesn’t understand FC4 runs fine now. Even thinks it’s the worst optimized game ever.
He’s a troll who keeps hating on the game for no apparent reason
troll for what for telling the truth WTAF its wrong with you !
when something runs good and nice i post in 2 sec on my youtube channel and now Dying Light runs extremly good and looks very nice!
Far Cry 4 its a Far Cry 3 with few details more there and there and it runs extremly bad !
Not to mention that are games out there that run 100000000000x times better than Far Cry 4 and look in terms of graphics 10000000000x better
Conclusion : Don’t u ever buy Far Cry 4 get FC3 instead!
Told you all.
It’s a Troll.
check my youtube channel 😉
Damn this console generation don’t know what is a good optimized game!
Ofc taking in mind graphics/performance ratio
Go away. Back under your bridge
Yes because his 680 can’t handle it and AMD GPUs run FC4 better LOL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9TFQRr27s8&feature=youtu.be
I swear you have a boner for hating on FC4 even though it runs just fine.
You’re clueless you know that? Dying Light is very CPU heavy, you have an i7 which will make this game perform well, FC4 is GPU heavy.
Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 are GPU/CPU heavy too and i run them both extremly good unlike FC4 s*it!
PS: And all the games that are GPU heavy and they are good optmized for PC platform i smoke them out with my GTX 680 over 60 FPS on Ultra !
Now depends a lot of how the developers made their game for PC platform because this bad-boy GTX 680 has the raw power to eat everything over 60 FPS/1080p/Ultra anytime!
ex HARDLINE,BF4,Crysis 3, Far Cry 3,Metal Gear Solid V,Max Payne 3 etc etc pretty much every game that loves PC

Can’t wait for more updates like this techland!
That’s great, but none of this would of happened if you just released a game that works. No other medium you would get away with this, such a weird industry.
I swear.
It’s like people think they are gamers, but only complain about games.
As I posted on the other sites.
7 hours straight run in DL without one single issue.
The game is amazing.
BEST ZOMBIES EVER
Better than Sniper Elite Zombies.
I am not even doing the story, just smashing zombies over and over and over again.
I can’t get enough.
And the patch did fix FPS for a lot of people, including myself.
Game looks amazing to me.
But hey, it’s all an opinion.
Good start to 2015.
Eh guys, did anyone read this: We are now working on a quick patch that will re-enable common tweaks while stopping cheating in the game’s multiplayer mode.
What does it mean multiplayer mode? Will there be mod support for co-op or only single-player?
