Quoting: BeamboomHow's performance these days? Didn't it use to be abysmal, especially the Linux version?

Quoting: noxLittle warning: I could not get the game to run properly with the GOG installer. Refunded and bought through steam instead. Works perfectly :)

Did you lie about your distro or are they now offering no-questions-asked refunds like Valve?

Quoting: LeopardI can run Dying Light native without problems on Nvidia binary. If you are a Mesa user , you must force OGL version to 4.5 via launch options.

Quoting: lejimsterI've thought about trying this with Dying Light as I can't get the native Linux version to launch.

Hello fellow vega 56 user!
Just force the gl version:
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.4 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=440 %command%

:)

Thanks, but I guess I should have been more specific. It appears to be an Arch issue that only effects Mesa users. I think some other distros suffer the same problem. I tried for hours different work arounds, even following GloriousEggroll's snap package guide and it still wouldn't launch :'(.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPSomeone must explain to me what they find about these games.

I didn't play Tannenberg, but Verdun.

My experience was this:
Get spawned.
4 second later: Die
Spawn.
Die.
Slowly sneak along to the - die.
Spawn.
Try and catch up to the moving frontline - die.
Spawn.
Throw a grenade. Killed someone!
Die.
Spawn.
Be extra careful, moving at snail speed and around bushes. Survive at least 15 seconds. Don't move an inch.
Kill the fool that just spawned. Kill the fool that tries to sneak. Kill the fool running towards the frontline.
Need to move now.
Die.
Repeat a few times.
Quit the game. Uninstall. Took about 20 minutes.

And I played with 3 friends. Only the one who suggested the game had any fun.
The rest was as quick to move on to other games as I was.

I honestly don't get it. Why would you play a shooter in which moving means certain death?
I like my shooters skill-based, run balls blazing into the hellfire of enemies, dodge with superior reflexes, kill with superior aim - well, or die trying. In Verdun, I had the feeling both movement and aiming are almost irrelevant. As long as you can aim somewhat surely, an enemy in your sight is insta-dead. Just as you are.
Pick a good place, camp around, get some kills. Compared to the like of UT, CSGO, etc. it just seems.... boring.

So... someone PLEASE explain how this can be considered enjoyable, because obviously there are some enjoying this.
