Dying Light Manager

[Narmer]

Alright so i have been using DL Manager to turn off chromatic aberration and sun shadows because without it my fps is totally unplayable but now that the "Patch" was applied , i can't play with others unless i remove the mods by verifying the cache.

I would like a hotfix for this or at the very least an efficient way for disabling sun shadows and chromatic aberration , please.

If you are playing with trusted friends, have them use DLM as well.

DLM essentially mods games files that control things like CA and Sunshadows (you can see this by looking in your Documents\Dying Light\out folder after you launch your game). So, the game sees this as modded, but it shouldn't matter if your friends do the same.

Yea but i don't know many people that play DL , heh.

Are there any plans of fixing this because the fps boost is just too good (like 25 fps+) to not consider and the game looks a bit better without CA

[Metro Goldwyn Frajer]

The above won't work since the game treats the versions as modded differently. The only real solution here would be the devs exposing the additional graphic options in-game. Design consistency is worth ♥♥♥♥ if the game runs 20 fps.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ , techland. Do i sent a ticket then? Perhaps they will listen.

[FTL_FAM]

Techland is pretty good at listening to us fans, so if we comment loud enough that we don't like CA, then they may just give us options to turn it off like Film Grain.

What I think they should do is just give us access to the more demanding features like SunShadows, ShadowMapResolution, etc. and put those options IN the Visual menu, so we can select what we want and don't want to improve performance, or graphical fidelity.

Alright , i guess i will send a ticket then. Hope they listen since i'm not the only one

LOL i was about to start the same exact topic. I have a lan party in my home and some of the computers need to turn off the shadows but then i can't log into the games of each other. Come on really how tough is to put a damn option to turn off shadows?

[Dragonlord]

It seems you can do it but you must downgrade to 1.2.1 that didn't registered modded games.

Temporary workaround - Just load DLM on all systems, but don't change any settings on the systems that don't need it. Just 'enable mods' and run it.

[Narmer]

DLM don't have the "enable mods" option anymore , it automatically puts the mods once you select an option. Probably located in the data3.pk thingy in DW folder

so with 1.4 + using DL Manager means we cant play coop!! wtf :(

[Moldavia]

No you need to read how coop and modding work/dont work with this game. You mod your game you can only play with people with the same identical mod layout. If you do not mod your game you can play with other non modded gamers. It still works just not exactly the most intelliget or efficient manner.

Copy the Data3.pk from you PC to your wife's and see if that works?

Make sure you have the exact same files in the Documents folder as well. You want a 1:1 copy for each of you...

[Narmer]

Have the same options set for both pcs and you should be good to go
