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.

Oh yes. Still cannot play -> AMD FX-8320 + GTX750TI BE -> everything on max 6 - 10 fps, everything low 13 - 22 fps ( something like that, mostly around lower numbers ), so yes I'm still waiting.

Would be great to see this game fixed. So far haven't been impressed with their level of support, but curious to see if they turn it around

I'm getting 35-45 fps out of my Ubuntu 14.04 box (i7 4790 3.6 Ghz, GTX 750ti, 8GB RAM) at 1920 x1080 rez, all but texture setting set to high, which doesn't seem unreasonable for such a graphics heavy game; though, I wouldn't mind it being better.
Of the three glitches I regularly experience, there's only one that I really yearn to see fixed. It's not the way that most people in the game seem to be ventriloquists (speaking without moving their lips), nor that every once in a while a cabinet doesn't open and it's handles simply pull off and hang in mid-air. I can live with these. I've learned to ignore them. It's the way that the game just freezes without warning sometimes, and the only way I can fix it is with the restart button on the computer. This is truly maddening.

I see random crashes to desktop. Sometimes I see it 5 minutes into a game and sometimes I see them 30 minutes into a game. The other annoying thing is the game still cant run on a XFS partition.
