Dying Light 2 last patch adds Balance Mode on XSX but not on ps5?

What is balance mode...
1440p in the first Dying Light. Don't know what Dying Light 2 did because this time quad resolution is not mentioned in the patch note. I start to suspect is just unlocked 60 FPS...never mind they said it runs at 60 FPS in the new mode so I ignore what balance mode did on XSX. Weird they didn't mentioned anything about resolution. Maybe higher graphic setting?

Since after installing the patch, it's not being able to load my save.

Reinstalling the whole game

Good times

Wait first Dying Light doesn't have balance mode on XSX? Weird

Not yet, they've only updated the first dying light for PS5, they said Xbox patch is coming soon.

Looks like they have different teams working with different priorities on each project.

Xbox is probably farther along in DL2.

Ouch, sorry man. They should probably be QC-ing the many issues the game still has first.

Wait you say two different things here. So the first Dying Light wasn't updated at all on XSX. It's quite different stuff to omit balanced mode as they did for DL2 on ps5.

Okay just for clarification, the first dying light received a next gen improvement patch just a few days ago only on the PlayStation 5, and they promised that an Xbox patch is coming soon.

Thats fucked if true. I still want to buy this game. If they added 1440p 60 fps on Xbox and not Playstation I'll go seeth quietly in my corner.

I start to suspect it's more about enhanced graphic setting than 1440p. But I'll wait someone give a more concrete info about such balanced mode because the official site not says anything outside 60 FPS.
Update: Ok from an user in an other forum I read balanced mode is full of tearing but any mention for the resolution.

Looks like this patch was Xbox focused, maybe the next will add similar features on PS5.

  • A new Balanced Mode added that runs in 60 FPS at Xbox Series X.
  • Xbox Series S game modes added, including Performance Mode that runs in 60 FPS.
  • Improvements to sun shadows.
  • Improvements to spotlight shadows.

They added a balanced mode, which according to people on GAF seems to run in a higher resolution, added a 60 FPS mode to Series S despite earlier claiming the GPU was holding it back and improved the shadows.

It will come eventually. They just seem to be rolling out console patches separately, either because one of the two isn't finished, or the verification process from Sony/MS is taking a while... or both.

Higher resolution with terrible performance seems also.

que ? two people in the DF topic here are saying it looks better, no mention on performance.



Maybe they added foliage shadows into the XsX to match PS5

Probably:

  • Improvements to sun shadows.
  • Improvements to spotlight shadows.

Also runs at a higher resolution now reportedly. And still includes the 120hz 1080p mode.

I read in Resetera is a tearing galore without VRR. So. Something tell me they just increased resolution and finger crossed to VRR which will fix it knowing how works their "120 FPS" mode. It would explain why they omitted deliberately the ps5 console but jeez if it's a very lazy approach.

Let's wait for more impressions.

I can only find 1 video which doesn't show any tearing, and the video author is saying looks like dynamic 1440p with stable 60 FPS, no mention of tearing.

If it were a stable 60, wouldn’t it just replace the default mode?

If the author uses a VRR TV of course you don't see any tearing. It's clear as the day VRR is implied in something if ps5 in excluded. Why some XSX users would have been complained about the tearing if it wasn't the case. I don't follow you.

I'm not sure what you're talking about? Who invented the tearing, the one poster your quoting from era?

The patch literally just came out an hour or so ago, let's give it a little more time and get more impressions.
I don't follow you. I reported to you without VRR some users has reported it runs terrible but for some bizzare reason you won't believe it and you want to wait for more confirmation but meanwhile you have more faith to who say it runs without problem. Ok.

I posted a video above of 10~ minutes from the new patch, VRR doesn't stop tearing on recorded video.

If there was a lot of new tearing introduced in the patch, you would notice it in the video.

Not sure why you're hell bent on trusting that one Era poster over video evidence.

Surely not just because you want to down play the obvious advantage one version has now, right ? it can't be that, right ? :messenger_winking:

Probably no balance mode on ps5 since ps5 doesn't have vrr. Sony needs to get that sorted asap


I don't think this patch and resolution update has anything to do with VRR. There was plenty of headroom in the 1080p/60 FPS mode already.

Guessing just some QC stuff, PS5 should get this update in the next patch hopefully.

If that’s the case, should a cinch for PS5 and indicate patch will arrive soon enough.

Exactly, I don't think there's anything unique about this patch, just QC stuff probably.

Why exactly you won't hear probably such advantage is just because XSX support VRR (which seems plausible) when 120 FPS mode proved it? What exactly you want oversell so much, let me guess :unsure:

But this Balanced mode patch has nothing to do with VRR lol. Why are you trying to create controversy where there is none ?

SX just got a patch first, PS5 will probably get it next.

The 10 minute video doesn't show any obvious tearing to me, nor do I see any notable FPS drops in it.

Chillax, you'll get the patch soon too (y)

Cross posting from the other topics, cross sections cut out of screens provided by Riky Riky

There's a very noticeable improvement in resolution and clarity. Open them in different tabs to see in full screen:

Uh weird. Why the picture of the balance mode is more aliased/pixelated? Seems bit higher than 1080p but not by much imo.

Look at this, Series S video which actually shows a lot of visible tearing. Maybe that user you were quoting from Era was on Series S.

The Series X video I posted above does not show this kind of tearing at all.

Well no, he talked about specifically of balanced mode on XSX but will see I guess. Knowing them I won't hope so much on a miracle in such mode and I still suspect without VRR would be a mess but just a feel in my gut. I don't see will see such mode released on ps5 until Sony will give to us VRR. This engine seems extremely rigid to runs at 60 FPS with a decent resolution. On console at least.

Did they add story progress for guests in COOP mode? Just like DL1? If not, still no reasons to play it.

Man still unbelievable this game at 60 fps has so horrid IQ on next gen console. Neither balanced mode saved it at all.

yeah, maybe its the series S version with the tearing. Techland are great at supporting the Dying Light games so they will get there with some work. Good start for the little series S. will look good ona 1080P TV.

I mean it's am improvement over launch at least lol
Anyway zoomed closely on the picture in the balanced mode I see lot of strange compressed artifacts absent in the other one. I'm asking if it's not more a reconstructed method in action (AMD SRS) indeed of real higher resolution.
