The day has arrived, not only do we have a new DLC for Dying Light, but the Linux performance patch I previewed for you has also been released! To quote a film I saw recently “what a lovely day!”.
The new DLC is “Dying Light: The Bozak Horde” which is something we also posted about recently, but now it’s actually here and has day-1 Linux support.
I’ve been pleased by Techland’s progress, and their communication is getting slightly better. Dying Light didn't have the best release, but unlike some developers they have actually kept pushing at it!
I did a review of Dying Light on Linux, and I still stand by it. The gameplay is great, but the ending was terrible.
Patch 1.0.6 changelog below, but weirdly it doesn't mention performance fixes for Linux. I tested it to double check and the Linux performance fixes are in there, and the AA setting has returned! I've poked my Techland contact to get the patch notes sorted properly, odd that we aren't even mentioned when it's a huge change for us.
Update: They added the Linux notes in after I emailed them.
The developer mentioned to me that AMD's Linux GPU drivers aren't great for Dying Light on Linux, but they will continue to look for optimizations they can do themselves.

Dying Light is a first-person, action survival game set in a vast open world.

Downloading the update now. If I can get a solid FPS above 50, I'm good, even if it's on the lowest settings. Of course, I won't complain if I get 60+ on max settings :P

Downloading the patch now. If it's finally good enough, then I might start playing this through tonight, but don't want to make the same mistake I did with Dead Island and complete it while it was still really broken :P.

Verify it on Steam. I don't have the DLC either, and it's fine my end.

Looks like there's two data directories on my system, a data and a Data. Which one do you have?\
[edit] Looks like I had to move the data directory to Data directory. It appears that there was an issue in the file download regarding case sensitivity.
