Update: My email was answered, and they said it should now be fixed:
Quote removed as per Techland's request.

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.

It's fixed.

It 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.

My question to all you zombiephiles is: Does being headless make a zombie more or less scary?

If it's fixed, they should tell Virtual Programming how they did it because they have kinda the same bug in Dirt Showdown chere cars' wheels are transparent ! https://github.com/virtual-programming/dirtshowdown-linux/issues/4

Quoting: Segata SanshiroDon't even get me started on Dead Island.

But wasn't Dead Island done by Virtual Programming?

These issues are unrelated. Well, they're similar in that regard that usually it's a broken shader that doesn't compile or run. Because of that no pixels are rendered by that shader and you have a transparent (or filled with black/white/other color) piece of mesh. But knowing what exactly was wrong with this shader wouldn't help much fixing the Dirt's one. It's like getting miscalculations in Excel and MathCAD, they're both errors, yes, but they happen in different apps because of different reasons and they should be dealt with via different means.

Heh. Tough one. On one hand, zombies tend to transmit the disease-or-whatever by bite and are generally enthusiastic biters when it comes to their offense. A zombie that grapples you and then does nothing = less scary.
On the other, are we talking about the kind of zombie you can usually only kill by bashing in their head? Because I see a potential problem there.

FUCK YEAH! I can play the game again it does not crash anymore at startup.

I suspect the quick fix turn-around has a lot to do with SteamOS. Of course, the fact it existed to begin with shows the low install base of SteamOS. :)

Quoting: BonsThis is not the only issue that this game has,
The Multiplayer is also completely broken for a long time now. When you join a game you are getting instant kicked.

It 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?

Just tested the game after update and the coop bug IS STILL THERE. They haven't done shit about it. This really makes me sad (and mad) about those guys.
