14 DAY TRIAL // Some users are reporting that Dying Light for the Linux platform no longer starts after the latest patch has been released.
Dying Light is one of the newest triple A games that landed on Linux in the past few months. The performance wasn't great, and many users complained about the fact that it didn't seem like a quality port. The developers pushed a few patches out the door, and the quality of the game for Linux users increased tremendously, even if it's still not up to par with Windows.
That being said, a new patch was recently made available for Linux users and a few players reported that they can no longer play it. Dying Light crashes right after the launch, and it's an issue that remains unsolved until now. Fortunately, there is a simple workaround, although it's not encouraging that it even exists.
A Reddit user mentioned that players need to start Steam in offline mode, which in turn will allow the game to run just fine. It's not a complicated solution and any achievement gained will be awarded when you go online. The bug has been reported already, and it looks like there are quite few users with this problem on the Steam forums.
There is a comprehensive list of problems and solutions on the Steam forums, so if you happen to experience any kind of problems with the game make sure that you check that first.
