It's no secret that Dying Light doesn't perform well on Linux, and we are currently left out in the cold as far as Steam Workshop support goes, but that should change.
When asking about the performance patch, and workshop support, my developer contact at Techland said this to me:
QuoteHello Liam,
We are still working on it - it is rather big change ;)
As for the workshop there will be an update that will allow Linux players to play custom games sooner than later ;)
This is good news, as I have high hopes for future DLC, but the game as it is right now on Linux isn't the best.
You can see my review of Dying Light here. It's a good game, but it has flaws.
Check out Dying Light on Steam.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: BrotAmStielExotic configuration - no, but AMD cpus are still a problem, I don't have any problems with other games I own.Quoting: bubexelsgtGarcia, im on i5-4440 and 650gtx, settings at mid i have around 50 - 60 fps. You have something wrong on your computer, 20 fps?Probably some exotic configuration; also: amd processor

Found the following videa on reddit. It is a presentation done by the 2 (yes two) people from Techland who ported Dying Light to Linux about their (ongoing?) experience in porting to Linux. It is not short, I am still watching/listening to it, but It has been pretty interesting so far.

Quoting: GuestAwesome, thanks! Very interesting. No wonder the Linux version had so many problems when those two guys had to fight against the hundreds (?) of other devs who were using Windows only :]. And only 4 months to port a huge Windows/DX codebase.
And now we know why we had only brass knuckles in Dead Island :).
No, problem! Once I started watching it and they were talking about specific bugs like the ones we have encountered I knew the people here would like to at least listen to it. I really liked how they kept a sense of humor about it.

For those who cannot understand polish language ( I really don't know why it may be :D ) at the end of talk, people asked questions & one of them was what is speed difference between Windows & Linux versions ( both with OpenGL )
& Wojtek said that DL on his Titan ( Windows ) was slower than Tomek GTX780 ( Linux ).
But whats more, Wojtek added that he has some code prepared, that should give boost performance of 50 - 100%.
If this is true, then WOW.
