PS! to make it somewhat playable:
1)open your Data0.pak with archieve manager
2)extract the file from data/scripts/varlist_performance.scr
to ~/Steam/SteamApps/common/Dying Light/DW/out/data/scripts
3) disable sun_shadows
eg: 
VarInt("i_shadows_sun_on", 0)

You Will Loose shadows ofc, but its for the sake of smooth gameplay.
enjoy the game!

PS those who get motion sickness(like me) from the sprinting blurr...still searching for ways to disable that as well

FPS went from 20 to 45 on average for me

Dying Light is an action survival game presented in first-person perspective. The game is set in a vast and dangerous open world. During the day, you roam an urban environment devastated by a mysterious epidemic, scavenging for supplies and crafting weapons to help you defeat the hordes of mindless, flesh-hungry enemies the plague has created. At night, the hunter becomes the prey as the infected grow in strength and aggression - but even more lethal are the nocturnal, inhuman predators that leave their hives to feed. You will need to make use of all your skills and any available means to survive till dawn.

Your CPU is just hitting the minimum requirements for this game and the GPU might be a bit dated for this game aswell, they actually recommend a GTX 780 / R9 290, but do hope they get this optimised a little better, as I'd like to play it

[ 2015-01-28 19:08:13Z ] 👍 0

The performance is crap on linux no matter what hardware. I'm running with AMD 8350 @5GHz and nVidia MSI GTX 970 and i get the same results as video. Indoors stuttery performance between 30-100FPS (sometimes i could get 25FPS) you feel the game is not smooth at all. But once you go outside you kan just ctrl + alt + F4 the game for me it drops down to 14-20FPS avg even with everything set on low.

[ 2015-01-27 13:50:24Z ] 👍 0

Yeah, consoles will be running 720/900p a lot of the time with no filtering at all in some cases, and also have access to 3.5 / 4GB of VRAM out of the box (xbox one and ps4) which may help a bit compared to someone on a 1/2GB vram card. game still looks cool though just hope they get it fixed, I'll wait before i buy it.

[ 2015-01-27 13:38:45Z ] 👍 0

MrLoggfreak well as i can see windows users experience the same.. a bit smaller drops though..but pretty much same crap when reaching outside in game. and consoles are running 720p and 30 fps probably + more optimized for those i think... will have to wait for the patch... hopefully its fixed rather sooner than later

[ 2015-01-27 13:23:44Z ] 👍 0

which means it's just ubisoft quality porting, only on linux really hope they fix it, because if performance stays this bad i won't even be able to run it 660TI might not be the most powerfull graphics now, but it's still far beyond the consoles they happen to run on perfectly fine

[ 2015-01-27 12:36:49Z ] 👍 0

my CPU is 4.3Ghz which is more than 8350 which is recomended. as of GPU yeah, im not even hoping to run it on max settings.. 660Ti is weak now..but its well above minimum..but this game wont even run if i turn everything to minimum

[ 2015-01-27 14:55:40Z ]👍 0

There was a recent patch that apparently nerfed the game.

that patch just added zombiemode

Sorry for the nub question, but how do you get the FPS counter to appear for this game? Or is that your recording software?

[ 2015-10-05 02:51:37Z ] 👍 0

Bob Dylan Didn't know there was a high contrast mode. Gonna try that out, thanks.

[ 2015-10-05 02:08:03Z ] 👍 0

+Tomas Sandven It looks exactly like that...with the high contrast mode enabled.

[ 2015-10-05 01:24:21Z ] 👍 0

+Bob Dylan Steam Overlay's FPS counter looks nothing like that. I'm guessing that one is provided by SimpleScreenRecorder.

[ 2015-01-27 15:19:19Z ] 👍 0

Bob Dylan Did not know that even existed! Thanks!

Probably steam's built in fps counter. It's in the steam settings.

Apparently the performance is not that great on Windows either. It's too bad, I was super hype for this game. There was a lot of rabble-rousing on reddit over the delay on review copies, reviewers only got codes before release if they were part of a brand-deal. Maybe they only gave early review codes to reviewers with bleeding edge hardware so the performance issues were not obvious?

[ 2015-01-27 19:48:44Z ]👍 0

Hey how is gaming on arch? I always stayed away from Arch on my main PC because I need games = proprietary drivers for my radeon. How do you deal with this?

[ 2015-01-27 22:18:03Z ] 👍 0

***** It even says on the wiki Xpander69 linked there is several ways to install the drivers. One where you add a custom repo where you install with pacman and ita a little less mess than with AUR. ***** thanks , I will check on that.. Easiest for AMD gaming+Arch right now is manjaro tbh( so it seems) I just don't know how updated their catalyst packages is.

[ 2015-01-27 20:27:11Z ] 👍 0

***** did you just hit your head against something? ofc its pacman -S drivers 346.35 is the latest atm.. no point using aur when there is no new beta drivers out

[ 2015-01-27 19:55:17Z ] 👍 1

snabel a https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMD_Catalyst .. i think the repo holds back xserver updates also because drivers wont support.. but im not sure..in any case if something like this happens you can always downgrade and ignore the package updates until fglrx has gained support

[ 2015-01-27 19:52:58Z ] 👍 0

Yeah I have been there reading and AMD drivers is pulled from the repositories. :( the one thing I'm afraid of is because its rolling release and I get frequent updates on xserver etc it will break my install because of proprietary drivers... I will check it out

[ 2015-01-27 19:50:44Z ] 👍 0

same way as with every distro: pacman -S well i dont have amd gpu though so i have no idea with that.. i think those are not included in official repos because they lag behind with latest xserver support.. so you might need to enable some thirdparty repository or similar... archwiki should help

Gorgeous looking game but the performance makes it look un-enjoyable. #dyinglight #linuxgaming

indeed... i hope they will fix it

those idiots from techland have made a game which cannot make use of multithread instructions. It actually makes use of one core, and all this in 2015!! Time to wake up Techland, Dragon Age inquisition should be an example for you idiots.

[ 2015-01-28 18:42:57Z ] 👍 2

what platform? not the case for linux.. its using 42% of my cpu (12.5% is one full core on my 8 core) and it spreads the work around nicely on multiple cores.. adding GL Threading it takes 52% and spreading all around nicely as well. picture to prove it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28788188/ss_27012015_14.42.59.png my problem is that GPU is bottlenecking..and apitrace revealed that they have 23k calls per frame..which is huge amount of driver overhead: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28788188/ss_27012015_16.31.14.png UE4 engine demos for example have 4-6k per frame...so if they fix this and reduce the calls per frame..we can get a lot better performance

You need to open it with program like Notepad++ or PSpad

Xpander69 Thanks i will take a look.

[ 2015-01-29 18:01:29Z ] 👍 0

MrSouly sorry i dont know then, i dont have windows so i really dont know how it goes there... i suggest you to search from the steam community forums about it: here also some of the info: http://www.game-debate.com/news/?news=15809&game=Dying%20Light&title=Dying%20Light%20Launch%20Bug%20Fixes%20And%20Tweaks

[ 2015-01-29 17:59:12Z ] 👍 0

Xpander69 Well. I cant open the file you see. It dosen't even let me change which program it is. Its says its like a pausescreen file. Its just weird. I can look at the file in the winrar program i use to open the data0.pak thingy then i can look at the file and see the text inside it. But i cant remove and or change letters. And if i extract the file. Bam its a pausescreen file that i cant open

[ 2015-01-29 15:53:57Z ] 👍 0

im not sure about windows.. sorry i dont have windows.. .but you should try some editing program like notepad++ or similar to open it.. also extract it first. maybe windows is so stupid and says that because it doesnt have any application attached to *.scr file? so you have to use "open with" or what ever its called in windows and then select your text editor.

Don't hold your breath on optimizations they never did any with Dead Island they expect us to buy new pc's for one game lmao right this game will fade out like Dead island.

[ 2015-02-21 08:35:13Z ] 👍 0

Xpander69 Yea but i am not going to Nvidia just to play a game that's 59.99 I think this company is shit from the start so yea i been following them.

[ 2015-02-05 16:20:56Z ] 👍 0

***** not the case for me.. it runs exactly as advertised.. GTX660 as recommended... GTX430 as minimum.. ofc windows requirements are lower but who cares..at least they advertise it correctly on what it runs.

[ 2015-02-05 16:18:02Z ] 👍 0

Dead island Blew so bad i played tones of Zombie games can play them all.

[ 2015-02-05 16:15:48Z ] 👍 0

only thing is that no new computer runs it. you can waste 4000€ but still wont be able to run it above 40 fps... with Dead Island.it runs as advertised by system requirements at least

1 possible reason that you may have a worse performance than you expected: If I remember correctly Nvidia works much better with Intel not AMD.

[ 2015-03-02 19:18:31Z ] 👍 0

Well you sound so certain about that, I know someone who has a GTX-980 and plays this with no problems despite the glitches within the game. If you have performance problems on a set-up like that, then your computer needs to be optimized a lot better, perhaps de-fragmenting and updating drivers and OS. I have a 660, yes it's a dated card but I use it and think it's greatly underestimated especially if you optimize it.

[ 2015-03-02 18:59:34Z ] 👍 0

havent seen any proof of that.. i highly doubt... the problem is the game.. doesnt matter which CPU or GPU you have..performance will suck even on i7 4770K and GTX 980

[ 2015-10-05 01:21:40Z ]👍 0

At least the game *looks* good with you. It completely spazing out on my PC, shadows blinking in and out of existence

[ 2015-10-05 04:00:19Z ] 👍 0

Xpander69 Holy crap, that made a massive difference! The game appears to run just as well as it does on Windows now (driver 352.41)

[ 2015-10-05 03:27:42Z ] 👍 0

Xpander69 Wow, I didn't know I was that far behind... I assumed they were quite recent, seeing as I'm using Debian stretch (unstable). I can probably find a repository with more recent drivers. Thanks for the info

[ 2015-10-05 03:23:54Z ] 👍 0

+Tomas Sandven you should really update your drivers.. 340 are quite old(i had 346.xx ones when i created this video ~10 months ago).. i think even 2 years old? we are on 355 atm, but 352.xx should be fine

[ 2015-10-05 03:21:42Z ] 👍 0

Xpander69 I *am* talking about right now. I consider the game unplayable on my PC at the moment. I'm using a GTX 780 and Nvidia's official drivers (340.93), and the shadows and lighting is absolutely messed up. It all seems to be connected to the sun, so disabling the sun shadows might fix it. I'll try that later.

+warlockostia its all fine long ago already.. running 50+ fps all maxed now. this video is quite old, they fixed perf issues for linux at least
