Anyone here played it with a Xbox 360 gamepad?
I have a very slow rotating speed with the camera (although double to the right) and reversed dpad inputs (OK, I can live with that).

Co op always immediately disconnects for me with this game. It's never worked and their tech support was useless.

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: KeyrockPlayed it for a couple hours after work, no graphical glitches and performance seemed fine. I haven't played the base game since The Following came out, so I can't compare with past performance, but in The Following I was generally getting upper 50s to lower 70s FPS, never once saw it dip below 50, that's at 1440p with everything at maximum, draw distance included, except motion blur and film grain turned off (not for performance reasons, I just hate both effects). Hopefully they get this bug sorted out so people not lucky like myself can play the game without glitches.

Running over zombies with the buggy is super fun. That's the one thing about Dead Island (overall a vastly inferior game IMHO) I missed in Dying Light.

You never got the texture issue because you left the game at "high quality" graphics settings, and didn't change it before playing the game, as per my previous post explaining how to re-create and prevent the issue.

That solves that mystery, phew, I can sleep well tonight, lol...

I didn't change any setting whatsoever and I had the bug nevertheless. I'm going to try clearing both caches, though.

Quoting: dubigrasuI had the lower textures issue after update but it goes away if you delete both shader caches (game's and Nvidia's).

Where is the NVIDIA cache? You mean ~/.nv? Or somewhere in /tmp ?

Not finding the game's cache... :P

Game's cache is in "Dying Light/DW/out/opengl_shader_binaries" with shaders for each driver, and yes the .nv folder for the Nvidia's driver.

Quoting: dubigrasuYou know, I'm pretty pleased with this update because at least three issues that bugged me before are now solved.
I had an annoying stutter that is gone now while performance is a also great.
A subtle flickering on vegetation when using SSAO is also now gone.
And finally I can see the Survivor Sense in action. Previously I could hear only the sound and its result on the radar thingy, but now I can see also the pulse itself:
Yeah, it's great to see those bugs fixed. Just the low texture issue which is especially bad on "high" settings. I only found one instance of it on "medium" settings, and the green screen flicker issue when clicking through the intro screens when starting the game.

Hm, I don't see these low textures regardless of settings used.
There were plenty of them indeed immediately after update, but not after clearing both shader caches.
OTOH I haven't played that much so I might bump into them eventually.

Just changing the poolsize to 512 helped quite a bit for me. I was maxing at about 30 FPS, now I'm maxing at like 42 FPS with low/med settings (using the Steam FPS counter).

Game is great so far from what I played. My only problem with the game is I think all the profanity in the game is way out of place. Way too much cursing for the sake of cursing at times, but that's just a minor gripe.

Sadly not available DRM free day one. Good news is the developer got back to me within 24 hours saying they are hoping to have a DRM free copy available at some point in the future.

There was an update and now it works without needing to change anything on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop.

The PoolSize is a proven tweak for UE3 titles, but why would I set
MaxSmoothedFrameRate to 400?

Amazing Game! 3 hours in. Not finished but saving the end for tomorrow.

Fixed the case sensitivity issue, had the game crash 3 times, and also I restarted it twice because of memory leaks, was at 11fps...

Still I really enjoyed the game so far, one has a real empathy for the Henry.

Would recommend 10/10. Short and sweet.

Quoting: Mountain ManThe texture bug isn't new.

New for me, I've never had horrible low-res textures while playing on medium or high settings that I remember.

I've encountered it occasionally before today.

Very good game. Ran beautifully, looked beautiful, great voice over work, hilarious, and hectic at times. Finished it in 3 hours. Had to uppercase the F on the data folder but after that it was running. No issues with my Nvidia gtx 980.

Wow!!! A complete different game after applying the modifications, now it's perfectly playable. I wonder why the default values behave so bad.

Thank you for the tweaks!!

As said, had to do mv firewatch_Data Firewatch_Data, then it works. One visual glitch, at the first night I had lighting popping up and down, err, I mean, it was night and the environment was noticeably lighter when I looked up and darker when I looked down. Not like the moon had something to do with that, it was a pure bug. The same happened inside the tower, even after turning the light on. When I entered settings and switched graphics from ultra to high and then back it stabilized and never came back. Weird.

Also, I recommend turning off SSAO completely. Gives an enormous FPS boost with everything else maxed out and nothing visually changes. I know what SSAO is but in this particular game or environment it's just not visible.

The game is wonderful so far. I read that it has only one ending so the choices don't dramatically change the gameplay but they matter, they are remembered and reflected in many little details. Who cares about the ending after all? It's only a single last event and you have a massive amount of them before that. Go make your own story.
