This is the first patch in a long line

Dying Light is the latest FPS from Techland and it's all about zombies. The game is powered by a beautiful engine and it takes quite a toll on the system. It's still pretty buggy, but the first patch has arrived.

Linux users always say that they want triple A games and Dying Light is definitely one of those titles. It's now probably on the top five most beautiful titles on Steam for Linux and the system requirements clearly reflect this. As it was to be expected, there are quite a few problems with it, even if it's technically considered stable.

If we were to compare Dying Light with any other application on the Linux platform, we would probably call it an Alpha version or maybe an early Beta. It's still pretty unstable and many of the features don't really work, so it's easy to see why we would not consider it stable. On the other hand, Linux gamers have been wanting good games for so long that they are willing to ignore the fact that Dying Light still has problems.

The first patch for Dying Light is a step in the right direction

The fact that Techland has singled out Linux in the changelog is a clear sign that they know about the issues and that they want to fix them as soon as possible.

The developers have said that the primary weapon HUD selection now works with the mouse, v-sync has been enabled, some missing materials have been added, some crashes have been fixed, and a few more fixes have been implemented.

You can check the changelog below for more details about this new patch.
