Just a heads up, a new Dying Light patch is now available. Sadly it broke the game for me on my main Ubuntu install
I have emailed and tweeted the developers, so hopefully they will fix it. Some people have reported it works okay for them, but it's completely broken for me.
Shame, as Dying Light is a great game when it actually works. Looks like the problem is my end this time though. I tested it on SteamOS and it works, so there's something not right with it on my Ubuntu install. If I figure it out, I will let you all know.
Update: Found the source of my issue.
The patch doesn't do anything major, but it enables The Following content for the mod tools.

The multiplayer is still broken beyond repair. At least for me. I've been trying to join random public games like a dozen times with no luck at all.
Other than that the game seems to work quite well.

For those interested, I found the issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/46sske/cities_skylines_crashing_on_launch/d07ljf9
It also affects other games. Looks like it's going to be an issue for newer/more up to date distributions.

Quoting: vergeonThe multiplayer is still broken beyond repair. At least for me.

With the Steam sale going on, I could grab this for Linux or I could get a used PS4 copy for the same price (not Enhanced edition though). My friends run Windows and PS4. Co-op is essential to my purchase. If there are issues playing co-op over the Internet between Windows and Linux, we have to get the PS4 version instead.
