So, is the game still broken?

[BladeX]

Haven't played since that night update f**ked up the game, so did they change anyting to make it less annoying? Or the swarming volatiles stay? 'Caous I ain't touching this ♥♥♥♥ until they fix that.

on 7900 XTX i get to enjoy an RGB laser show worst places are during cutscene of bloodie ties intro after arena fight during first blood intro quest as the smoke spawns, or mission to beat the game also during cutscenes.
I have no idea if devs are aware yet or how long the issue existed since it happens on all drivers, its also reproduceable on any 7900 XTX with high quality preset its most noticeable, but even with RT but it can be missed if you haven't seen the RGB laser show before.

I think he's specifically talking about the Good Night, Good Luck update

When I first started, I genuinely hated the volatile spawn rate. Now, I wish there was more.

I don't think it should stop you from enjoying the game though. Valk is pretty spot on though with the Dying Lite mod

Otherwise, if you would like to deal with them, there are a hundred and two different ways to deal with them. UV bars are downright broken to the point you can throw one and just leave your keyboard to go do something else.

Another thing is using survivor sense and spam it so you know ahead of time where the volatiles are. There will be some absolute bs spawns out of literal thin air but for the most part, volatile can never actually hit or catch you if you use your movement correctly. Things like climbing can be incredibly slow especially with a bad animation so you can offset that by changing your pathing. Hope this helps!

There is nothing different about volatiles spawn from DL1. The volatiles in DL2 are easier than dl1. About survivor sense spam, that's something that happends in DL1 but nobody complains. People have a delusional views on dl1

I hope you realize that the game can be broken in multiple ways not just one way.

I have 80 hourse in the game, and until that update I mostly had fun. But they had to ruin the game with that half-assed update that wasn't part of the core gameplay because some people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the lack of hunting volatiles like in the 1st game...

[BladeX]

So they don't intend to make the self-torture optional? Great...
Thanks for the suggestion @Valkynaz, but I'm not really in to modding. And honestly, I lost most of my motivation to play again.

Don't play at night, it was always optional

Dying Light was never the game for you, play Dead Island

That's fair enough, but just so you know modding in this game is very easy, it's legit just dropping a .pak file into the source folder, so if you ever want to try the game again, and I'd recommend it, it's not super complicated unlike some games.

Sorry, we PAID for a game, then it was changed in a way that we didn't like after the fact, with no input or option from us, we have every right to be upset, go boot lick somewhere else.

Well, you get what you deserve from proprietary sofware.

[[TryHard] + LBJ]

Just stop playing and move on. Seriously, we all know DL1 is better anyway. This is an abusive relationship.

We keep coming back hoping something has changed and it obviously never will. Tons of other better games to play.

It was very broken when I played but I am sure it has to have been some what fixed by now. Glad though I stopped playing this game in the first few weeks, could not get over how soy the MC was. Kinda wish they would have made DL2 a little more like DL1. Glad you guys are enjoying it still though, some one needs to keep those devs employed and keeps them in one place/studio. So, you have my thanks!

returned after not playing it since like release and i started gliding while chased. Got hit once by appearently a ranged enemy, stopped gliding instantly and fell to my death. Great game.
Combat against humans is still crap. Love it when they "dodge" my attacks aka my weapon just goes through them and a second later, they dodge. Or when the alarm dudes start ringing it, you swing at them and they BLOCK you with the alarm thing but its actually their weapon because this game can't finish animations right.
