I have tried it a little bit. For one thing I can say about system requirements. They are not lying. At least not for 1080P with Ray tracing on high quality. The recommended rtx 3080 is definitely needed if everything else is cracked to max as well. I can just stay above the 60 fps mark. At 1440P I go down to around 40 fps. For 1440P I need dlss quality on. There i can keep fps around 60 to 90 fps. So at 1440P with everything cracked up dlss gives a boost of around 30 fps at the location ith and with out dlss. Dying light 2 deffently can give even a rtx 3080 a run for the money sort of speak. 4K is no go as you run out of fps at a playerble fps count with Ray tracing ø. Haven't tried without Ray tracing throw.

But yeah if you are like me wanting eye candy up to max, you need a beefy gpu to do so.

With 4K on the 3080, try DF's optimized settings (only RTGI+RTAO) and use lower DLSS mode (DLSS Balanced with in-game sharpen at 50 looks about 99% of 4K Native anyways, here is the comparison)
 
I’ve completed the “double time” quest multiple times and every time I load up the game, the quest pops up again as a new side quest. Please fix this bug as it it is near game breaking for us completionists. Other than that 5/5

You do know this forum has nothing to do with the game developers, right?
 
So seems lots of people are having a bug that their game is telling them they're leaving mission area? But they are right beside the mission. Don't know if this is the right spot to post about it but I was just wondering if it's gunna be fixed anytime soon or did I waste 100 dollars on pree- ordering the game and now can't play it, I've already put in 21 hours of game play so making a new save isn't ideal

Also
Turns out that the ragdolls are disabled in the code and instead it plays a canned animation for everything.

What was happening before with ragdolls disabled? I haven't bought the game yet, but may well do.
Click to expand...
pre-set animations for all-fall-down

possibly done for performance reasons (let's blame consoles, get your pitchforks!) or because like most ragdolls they glitched hilariously and the devs thought it ruined the mood
 
How hard would it have been to have shift be run, like every other PC game in the last 5000 years?

Well i bought this yesterday, cant wait to try it. I did notice some things that might need to be changed, including the no walking apparently which is odd.

Also it seems there might not be no guns either.

Still can't wait for this as i really enjoyed the first one.

Anyone else pre ordered this?

i i am annoying this game. my only problem is that they have tank , ranger , and medic gear. but how can you be a ranger if you can hardly find arrows, you can’t reuse them and the store hardly sell feathers . i’ve only seen one store in the whole game . it’s also hard to find bird houses . soo even tho i really what to play with a sneaky ranger style . it’s probably a lost cause

Holy cow those are extremely similar, to the point you could possibly get away with DLSS performance and 55-80% sharpening and still be very similar. I'm yet to buy a 4k OLED (fingers crossed on a 42 c2 this year), but iirc DF recommend DLSS performance for 4k native, Balanced for 1440p and quality for 1080p, and from experience + extrapolation, I'd say that's pretty solid advice.
 
How to enable FSR UQ: go to Documents --> Dying Light 2 --> out --> Settings then edit video.scr

Scale3D (0.666667) [controls the resolution, 0.77 is about what ultra quality would be]
FSR (1.000000) [controls FSR's sharpness 0-10]
Upscaler (3) [Selects what upscaler you're using. 0 none, 3 FSR]
Upscaling (3) [Controls what preset you're using. 0 performance, 1 balanced, 2 quality]

4K Native vs 4K FSR UQ (Sharpness 50) vs 4K DLSS Balanced (Sharpness 50)

UQ appears to be a lot better the Q. I wonder why the devs hid it :S Ive no reason to use FSR, but I did look at it once in the game it was just awful. UQ is needed to touch it at all.

DLSS does a remarkable job at reconstruction, my only issue really is edge clarity in motion, which I know is a weakness. But even so, other games have managed to do it better. RDR2 looks great (especially with the sharpness disabled).
 
How far are you guys in the story?

Are there any "mature content" with Sophie? cause I feel bad refusing to help her and her scummy brother :wtf: . DL2 doesn't allow manual saves make it hard to see all outcomes
 
Oh ffs.

Got to the the end sequence and I'm experiencing lazy ass mother fucker boss level BS. You defeat Waltz, he gets stronger. You defeat stronger Waltz.. guess what? He get's stronger. It's just absolute BS. Quit game and considering uninstalling. So unhappy with such a torturous ending. Screw the writers of this game.
 
I'm still really enjoying this game, when I get to play it. lol I'm wondering if I'm the only one that just uses a hex editor to change values for money and items? lol I just don't have time to grind. haha So, I'm just buying everything. I also gave myself an unlimited amount of throwing knives.. haha I'm just killing everything. I do like to bait groups of zombies and bring them back to a group of guards. I just walk behind the guards and let them kill them. Then clean up the loot. The graphics are pretty amazing. I still need to try it out on Vorpx with my Quest 2 or Rift S but honestly it looks great on my G5. Also, turning on DLSS I average 100-110 fps.

How do i do this? thx :p

It's more than a hex editor but fairly easy to use, but be careful not to make to large of a jump. I use Cheat Engine here is the link to the Github. Just watch a few youtube videos to figure it out. Just be careful and don't make the value to high. I usually set it to like 10k for money and just have it freeze at 10k until I stop the game. I try to limit it some to keep it challenging. I have never been ban, but I only us it for solo games.
 
Well, I got past the ending. What a grind.

If you want the good ending:

So, when you get to deal with Hakon
Don't kill hakon. If you let him live, then at the end, he can save Lawan. If you kill Hakon, Lawan will sacrifice herself to save the city. Or you save her and let everybody else die.
