Dying Light: The Following |OT| Still has zombies in swimsuits
- Thread starter ryseing
- Start date
They move a lot quicker now, and I did notice some pop-in of zombies last night while on the bridge of the slums last night, so maybe one of these things could explain it?

I'd like to know this as well. Anyone have an idea?

I was doing some side missions last night after the patch hit and noticed that. It happened before before the patch but it was rare. It seems like it happens more often now.
Hope you are right. I remember it runs bad just in some side quest or in particular situations but it was fine most of the time. It sound weird could runs worse if they claimed the opposite. Obviously I'm just talking of the solo campaign, never touched the multiplayer. If the solo it's fine, I'm ok with this.
Oh, when it runs poorly, it's due to the fact that the frame-rate EXCEEDS 30fps - it does so in the most awful, jarring spikes one could imagine. It rapidly jumps between full 30 and full 60. It remains my single biggest complaint with the PS4 version and it really really destroys all of the interior areas (or when looking towards the sky).
It was never fixed or addressed by the devs and the fact that it's still broken is insane to me when they've spent so much time polishing the game in other areas.
Uh? Aren't you a bit overdramatic now? What games runs worse that you are talking about now?
In some side quest vysnc drop off and runs with different slowdown (with tons of zombies). It's very rare but could happens at least with me.

Important question:
Is the buggy as ballz-to-the-wallz awesome as it appeared to be in the trailer? Im at work for another 6 hours before I can go home and mow down zombies myself.

Something weird is going on. I'm downloading the patch and I notice I get the "Following" expansion for free. The thing is, I didn't order the season pass.
I looked at the chart that was posted and I thought I had to buy either the season pass or just the Following. Oh well, no complaints from me at all. Hopefully I don't run into a bikini zombie tonight, I might never be the same upon seeing it.

Just an FYI for those that were asking earlier, watching TheSixthAxis review on this game and they said you should be at level 18 or 19 before starting The Following.

I'm playing the main campaign and performance is pretty bad at times on the Xbox One.
I didn't play this at launch, but I'm pretty sure this is running worse than it did prior to the EE patch.
Hope they can fix it. Having a blast when I can look past it.

Exactly my experience so far. Feels a lot smother. (End game of main campaign in the slums right now)

Easy way to compare would be to load up he demo, then load up The Enhanced Edition and see the differences..
I actually have 2 PS4s and the game and he demo. Wasn't going to install it yet because I am playing other titles, but may do so in the interest of science.
Is DF going to do an analysis?

I've been googling and asking this question since last night, and this is the first time it's been answered.
You would think this piece of information would be somewhat important enough to be mentioned by Techland..

Wondering this too. Seems a bit smoother to me too.

Yeah playing this on PS4 and it's much smoother. The controls seem a lot more responsive too.
I gained 40 fps :/ No settings changed after reloading once the patch came through I was plessntly surprised.
EDIT: oh that was about console.

Agreed. The only reason why I wasnt too worried about it is because my character is maxed out right now.
steam downloaded the update as soon as it started up and it shows "Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition is already in your Steam library" but when i go into dying light and Play i don't have the option to play the following. just campaign / be the zombie / custom map.
pc eu here, I don't think i have the ultimate edition or anything, it's just the normal version in steam, bought soon after release. going to submit a ticket.
edit: I do have a "Legend" level showing when I load my normal save now, and I'm level 1, but that's a new addition that's part of this DLC, right?
It doesnt seem too hard on PS4 on nightmare, disappointingly had levelled up to 14 on Hard.
I think i'm going to start again fresh on Nightmare. Should be much more intense.
Oh but YOU CAN TURN OFF THE MAP NOW! Think that happened later last year. Makes the game infinitely better. You can still hold X/A to see where you're going, but now you have to use all your senses to keep track of sprinters and volatiles. So intense. Night time atmosphere is amazing.

Oooohh. So you can still see your next objective if you need to by using survivor vision? I might be up for that.

I think my game has updated, but not sure. The Xbox One used to show an icon on the games and apps list to say when something has updated, but not anymore.
My main issue at the moment is the Demolisher boss fight. I've been trying to do it on hard mode, but couldn't do much... way too hard for me! Tried again this evening (presumably after update) and went back to normal mode. Can't take hardly any damage off him. It's like the game is glitched. Even on hard mode I could chuck a gas canister and take a chunk of health off, but now the bar goes down by a millimetre!
Unsure if this is due to the update or something else. Anyone else had something similar?

As i noted in my review. I do find that the John Carpenter style soundtrack is excellent but sometimes hard to tell if your listening to the original or new tracks. That being said thats a hilariously good problem to have.
I absolutely had to remind people of that in my video. Turning everything off is an insanely different way to play. In fact the landscape and such looks like a pretty State of Decay now. So damned fun with everything off. You have to use the game menu's, ears, eyes, and sixth sense in a whole new way. I found myself plotting along mountainsides and using a far larger number of landmarks than I ever have.

Quick question about co-op: When a player joins your game do the enemies get any tougher like you'd see in a Diablo or Borderlands?
This expansion really does seem like Dying Light's Reaper of Souls, what with the daily bounties and legendary levels (paragon) and the whole new area.

The list is in the OP.....
It's out in the UK. I downloaded a 8 gigs patch and started a new game. There was play The Following option.

There was a Bozak Bow for completing the Bozak Horde DLC. Don't think there were regular bows.
Evolved1
make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I've never seen one, and I owned bozak.
Pretty happy right now. You can retrieve your arrows, and R3 goes into precision aim. Animation is solid too, on par with Farcry. Running with the bow animation is better than Farcry even, imo.
Hey when will your video go up? That State of Decay quote.. hngh!

So are people finding the base game looks noticeably different/improved? (eg Definitive edition of TR and sleeping dogs DE both had noticeable improvements like more foliage with more movement, environmental effects like fog etc)

Well this is bogus - xbox.com store still showing The Following as $20 even though I've purchased the season pass. Hopefully it's free on the xbox itself.

Is the PS4 version of Enhanced Edition not available digitally on Amazon???
Not huge differences but the refinements are appreciated. So far I've noticed better lighting, a lot less texture pop-in and I think slightly better foliage. Also, character models are refined as well as animations.

TR and Sleeping Dogs were improved ports from previous generations...the differences arent going to be that big on Dying Light.
