Dying Light Patch Released, Our Thoughts On It, Still Terrible
30 Jan 2015 at 4:43 pm UTC

They say that they are fixing issues on distros like Linux Mint?? my laptop with the intel chip runs the game in Linux Mint... Although after this patch, my AMD Phenom 2 x6 1100T still wont load this game.

So i found out that the AMD Phenom 2 1100T six core, will load the game on windows, but not on Linux. So i am very certain now that the issue for that is the SSSE3 flag when the Binary was built. Just like Tropico 5. Anyone else here have a Phenom 2 1100T that they can verify this on?

Thanks

So i think we are dealing with a binary that is built to support SSSE3 again, like we did with Tropico 5. My 6 core (AMD Phenom 2) @ 3.2ghz wont load the game what so ever. My laptop with the Intel i5-3210M Quad Core @ 2.5ghz, will run the game. I do suffer from low FPS on the Nvidia GT 640M 2GB. I am hoping that they fix their binary like Kalypso did with Tropico 5, so we could use our AMD phenom 2 processors. I dont see how a Phenom 2 six core couldn't handle this game. Hell i haven't even seen the entire Linux System / Desktop use more than two cores. Also it seems to play everything else amazingly.

I get nothing..nothing starts up at all. I have re-checked game cache, and still it doesn't do anything. Tried running it through terminal...nothing. I dont know whats going on. Does anyone know where the .cfg files are?? or where it would even spit out .log files?

System Specs:

Linux Mint 17.1 64bit Cinnamon Edition.
AMD Phenom 2 six core @ 3.2ghz
16GB DDR3 PCI 1600
Nvidia Geforce GTX 550Ti 2GB
