AS ALWAYS MAKE A COPY OF THE FILE INCASE THE CHANGES YOU MAKE DONOT WORK THE WAY YOU WANTED.

BACKUP IS GOD.

now that that is out of the way heres a solution to your problem

edit video.scr found at C:\Users\USERNAME_HERE\Documents\DyingLight\out\settings\video.scr

open it with notepad or similar (i used notepadd++)

remove the line that reads

Fullscreen()

now save changes and run the game again.

Yes your game will be in a fullscreen window yes you will have a boarder around this window :( yes it is anoying and yes it will take performance away from your game.

But you will actualy be able to play it and when Techland IF Techland ever actualy fix the problem you can just go to the game settings in game and change them and the game will revert back to fullscreen.

This has been known about scince launch and instead of helping thier customers solve the solution Techland just keeps posting rubbish about sending in game logs (shouldnt thier game automaticaly send them error logs) and they know about the work around yet they did nothing to be helpfull.

Its become apparent that they are not going to do anything just the same as with thier other titles.

such a shame cos it realy is a great game and could go sooooooo much further with more DLC's it could be a big money earner for them they just need to fix it and pump out missions.

Open notepad and just drag the file into notpad and you will be able to edit it.

What settings are you running.

[FeilDOW]

Try turning your texture quality and shadow map size down. Your 960 only has 2gb vram and the game likes to have a lot of vram at high textures.

See if that helps at all.

Just a thought. I know on high this game can gobble up to 4gb vram, so that might be the problem.

Does it hurt to try it?

but basically gtx 960 this card could run the game at all max
the optimized driver also give me such settings as all high

basically jep, but also 3GB VRAM Cards have problems with highest settings
Dying light needs 2990MB VRAM on my GTX780 with 3GB VRAM and the shadows is on Med and view distance on 70%...

the game runs very well for me with 60 - 110 fps but only with shadows on medium.

Solution to Resize Buffers error on PC

My game has been crashing periodically (every 15-30mins) with an error popping up that said ResizeBuffers failed / device removed. Seems there has been no official solution, but I found one random commenter who provided a solution.
When you start the game, you simply need to downclock your GPU by 10-20mhz.
Took me a while to figure out wtf that meant, and how to do it, so I've included my steps below. I had never overclocked my computer or anything, but since I've downclocked by 20mhz, my game hasn't crashed in over 6 hours of being left open, ~2hrs of which I was actively playing. I can't really explain why it works, but it does.. so I'm spreading the love.
Download NVIDIA Inspector from guru3d.com.
Extract the rar anywhere, and run nvidiaInspector.
Click on "Show Overclocking" in the bottom right.
With the new Overclocking options, we're going to click on "-20" under both Base Clock Offset and Memory Clock Offset.
Once both offsets are showing "-20 MHz" you will click "Apply Clocks & Voltage" and you'll now be downclocked.
You can do this before you start the game or even while it's open. The settings that you apply will remain that way until you hit Apply Defaults

i've set all the game setting to low now even cant last over 5 minutes gameplay.
i'll get neither APPCRASH or resize buffer error
should be my gpu's problem and need to change ?

If possible I would try a fresh intall of windows before changing your gpu, your gpu should be fine to run the game.

Have you tried differant nvidia drivers?
