Dying Light Major Patch Released, Performance Finally Okay On Linux (UPDATED)
10 Mar 2015 at 7:52 pm UTC

Well after patch it took an age to start first time, seemed to be compiling the shaders I guess.

Good news is it's an improvement from what it was on a 4790k + 290x

It was @ 1024x768 all on low , outside 4-9 fps, looking at floor was 25 ish

After patch @ 1080p all low, outside 30 ish, looking at floor was 80 ish. still not playable.

Still not great but a definite improvement.

To put that into context , Windows (sorry)

1440p all high/max draw distance default , outside 80+ ;)

This was all done out front of tower during day btw.

Edit:

Interesting snippet from the logs I found

INFO: [INFO] > [OpenGL] Adaptive vsync is NOT SUPPORTED

I did ask a AMD rep on OCUK about linux support but got blanked.

Dying Light Massive Patch Due 10th of March, And New DLC
7 Mar 2015 at 11:13 am UTC

It's going to have to be a spectacular patch to be frank for AMD people. I tried all sorts to get it playable on my 290x.

Dropped res down to 1280x1024 alll low, got a massive 9is fps outside......

To put that into context , same machine in windows @ 1440p all maxed bar the draw distance , 90 ish :O (nvidia bits off)

But you never know, they may surprise us, kinda hoping they do. As I feel the problems are from the dev's lack of experience/knowledge of our platform

Quoting: pete910I keep trying UT too, All I get is weird graphic bugs, fine in menu. Soon as you start looks like the scene is been smudged...

Very peculiar . That's on a 290x with fglrx(14.12)
Try with & without the "-opengl4" bit on the end. I get what you describe with -opengl4 and a radeon 6950, but it works fine with a kaveri.
Just hard locks when I try without the -opengl4

Well it's complete garbage on a AMD gpu. :(

Well least it start I suppose :whistle:

I've set mine to all options to off/low even dropped the rez down to 1280x900 , Still unplayable outside.

4790k
290x
16Gb
SSD

Stock clocked.

I went against the grain and installed it in windows(I know...)
1440p all Max/On bar the Nvidia bits, draw distance middle.
90 ish ! That's outside too.

I don't expect *nix to match that but ...
I know AMD is bad performance wise under nix compared to nvidia but I will say that I feel its the game/dev's on this one.
