Ok, gave in and grabbed this. Quick question - I hear folk talking about turning off the 'film grain' or something, which improves visuals - how do you do that?

There's a steam guide a page or two back. Real easy to do too.

Haha. Think its called "DS4Tools". Put that in youtube and there's guides on how to make it work. PC recognises it as Xbox controller but its not a big deal, works perfectly. And you'll need the cable, not sure about the Bluetooth thing.

Let us know how you get on with it. Only takes a few minutes.

It works flawlessly.

just tried it with steam and retroarch. Got my ds4 connected up to my PC wirelessly with Bluetooth. Took about five minutes to set it up. Excellent.

That night time mode tho... I ran so hard my heart was pounding

Drollic · 30 Jan 2015 at 17:22

Started this not long ago. Running surprisingly well maxed out bar view distance which I've left at the default 50%. Lowest fps I've seen so far outside is 58 and sits comfortably above this normally. The only thing that sticks out so far is the zombie models - very poor quality.

Certainly has

It seems to have borked all mods put in the my docs>dying light>out folder.

The No HUD mod no longer works either which saddens me

I think this line in the patch notes is to blame:

blocked cheating by changing game’s data files

This has angered me a bit cos why cant they leave that alone for users to play the game how they want and not force us to accept features in a game, this is the PC version you know, the home of game modding. Grrrrr.

I get some extreme flickering on this now after the update and SLI profile update

Not how I wanted to start the day with my new 980's

VincentHanna · 30 Jan 2015 at 17:55

So anyone tested since the patch regarding CPU usage? Does it run better now?

Westie · 30 Jan 2015 at 18:01

patch has improved some things... my minimum FPS hasnt dropped below 48 with all on max settings and view distance on 50% also the no film grain tweak still works..

Dude i have the same problem but with amd instead

Game is honorificly ruined for multi gpu users. I have to run it using one 280x to stop that damn blood flickering

VincentHanna · 30 Jan 2015 at 18:46

There's no official Crossfire profile for it yet for AMD users, so I'm not surprised.

Drollic · 30 Jan 2015 at 18:49

Are people off getting the orange expcalibur sword early on or is it too op?

Nice to hear. Tried native, I.e. without the software, and only half the controls worked, haha.

Ya game is quite addictive. Mix between dead island and dead rising.
