Update: My email was answered, and they said it should now be fixed:

Oh Techland, if Dying Light wasn't one of our very few open world games I would probably like you a lot less. You might be wondering why I am being rather blunt, well, their latest patch for Dying Light has removed everyone's heads on Linux.
They don't have the best history with Dying Light, and now even more so. I wonder how long they will leave it in this state. I have of course sent their twitter accounts a message about this.
I have also emailed it to my Techland contact. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: TheBossQuoting: mr-eggi had a bug where in the story mode the jeep was in motion on a cut sequence and the wheels were rotating around the car as it drove about 10 meters in front
I had that bug too, was quite a sight seeing the wheels bugger off.
it took the game from semi-tense zombie shooter to Garrys mod. It kind of made me want a more sandbox element to the game ^_^

I played through Dying Light and Dead Island without any serious issues and good performance. It didn't "feel like it was held together with sticky tape", whatever that translates to in a game. The story is no worse than most games, there are a tiny percentage of games with good story, for the rest you'd better to be able to enjoy the other parts.
In fact it's easily one of the best games of the year.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroI'm surprised the port even works half the time, it feels like it's held together with sticky tape, same with Dead Island. I had the problem where I'd "open" the doors of certain cupboards, and only the handles would move instead of the doors. There was one hilarious moment where a cupboard was supposed to reveal a hiding person, and then spent 5 mins conversing with some oak-coloured MDF. Don't even get me started on Dead Island.
Enjoyed the game thoroughly though, despite it's graphical weirdness and uninspiring story. Let's just hope this enhanced edition and DLC don't make all the zombies black cubes or something :P.
EDIT: Also, the reason I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt is that they've been on the platform for about a year now and pretty sure Dying Light was the first AAA game to have day 1 support for Linux (correct me if I'm wrong). They may be pretty spazzy sometimes, but show good initiative. Giving everyone a big free upgrade next month is pretty damn cool too considering most games nowadays would sell you their own mother in DLC form if it meant an extra buck.

Quoting: BonsIt seems that there is no maintenance anymore on the Linux version for a long time, are the 2 Linux Devs on Techland still working there?
They still working in Techland but this two young developer is only students, so let's be understanding.

I'm not gonna rant, cuz' I know I've developed a hate boner for Techland. Even so, Dying light was the most money I've spent on a game in a long time, and it was one of the most disappointing and frustrating gaming experiences I've had on Linux. I wish Steam's refund policy had been reformed when the game cane out, so I wouldn't have wasted so much my time trying to get a sub-par at best game running :><: (although, while I'm admitting my biases, games like this, Dead Island, and Borderlands were never my cup of tea to start with 
)

Quoting: melkemindIt reminds me of the original Torchlight port that came out of Humble Bundle years ago. Whenever you attached anything like a hat to the head of your character, the head would disappear.
Actually, I recall being headless without wearing a hat. It was all down to a single line buried somewhere in the code:

Reminds me of the missing face issue with the original Torchlight for Linux. Was *finally* patched something like 8 months after it released from HIB
