Techland have updated Dying Light again, Drop Attack should be fixed on Linux

Uh... this thread is derailing into false information territory.

Linux native version of Dying Light runs well with AMD Mesa, even with a Radeon VII. Doesn't need a special build of libGL.so.1. Any recent Mesa version, say 19.x should be fine. The performance last time I tried was actually pretty good, not at all the horror show it has been. Definitely playable with a good experience. DXVK still performs better and the Windows version has additional graphics options.

I played the native version on an AMD card back when the 17.x series just managed to get it working. Since then there's been ups and downs with the Mesa versions but today it should be fine. The black screen bug happens for Nvidia users as well as in Windows too, not Mesa specific.

The granary bug is also not related to Mesa. Unfortunately The Following has only 3 quests from which you can start again, it's basically start, middle and end.

I strongly recommend backing up saves for any game where you really care about the progress. Even if the game itself behaves, Steam cloud can bork saves now and again. Not specific to Dying Light.

I still wonder how... or rather, who fixed it. Did Techland hire a Linux developer? :O

Quoting: TheSyldatDo we have any words from Valve that they intend to stop producing them ?
According to The Verge:
...Valve confirms that this is the last batch of these gamepads that will ever be made.
No link because 1) it's The Verge and 2) that's all they wrote about it.

Fixed.
Aww you should have kept it, I didn't send a correction report as I wasn't sure if it was on purpose... but I thought it was a nice touch to have a typo in the headline for a spelling game regardless. :)
