Dying Light turns five years old, send Zombies flying in the HyperMode event - big sale too

Quoting: tgurr@liam is it worth playing Dying Light via Proton instead of running the native version? In the past I read that it performs much better via Proton than the native port, wonder how you run it since you seem to play it quite frequently. I've been playing the native port some years ago but need to pick up on it again some time, hence my interest.
To me, it makes no difference. With the native port, I'm usually around 100FPS anyway and I only have a 60hz monitor so the native version is great for me.

I should add, that's because I do have an overpowered GPU now, before on my older GPU it would hover around 50-70FPS. If you don't have the literal top-end GPU, Proton will likely be a lot better in this case.

The problem is, the Linux port of Dying Light is old now and OpenGL. Plus, it was worked on by about 2 people from what I was told before. Hopefully if Dying Light 2 is coming to Linux, they will use Vulkan...

I had my DLC refunded when I replied to my Steam ticket to mention the DLC was now useless.

Quoting: PhiladelphusFor those of us who can't easily do conversions from UTC in our heads, would it be possible in future articles to include a little widget or a link to somewhere than can do the time zone conversions? That'd be a nice quality-of-life addition. :)
Yeah, I think the standard time zones for most here are GMT (which is the same as UTC, I think?), EST and PST.
Yup, UTC is the same as GMT.
