It’s funny how EA is attributing their statistic to something can be strongly disproven. When looking at the given statistic they provided, they don’t specify the raw count of cheaters banned, but simply the rate. Even giving the generous assumption that EA’s statistics aren’t significantly flawed, they show an alleged large drop in cheaters bottoming out in the week of Nov. 4, 2024, before starting to rise up again. Does something else coincide with the rate of cheaters dropping in the week of Nov. 4? There is in fact something that does. Season 23 was released the fifth with a large spike of players being brought into the game. Without a more comprehensive statistic graph over several months, it looks like EA is trying to just capitalize on the fact that a large influx of players joining the game will drop the rates of cheaters momentarily, and then passing it off as evidence that Linux cheating was rampant. Quite disingenuous.

Certainly a failure but at least it wouldn’t actually be as harmful as it reads, given / is a directory and the assumption you’re not root.

A majority of the Linux-native titles I have played work well. It’s only a handful of titles that have blatant neglect or malice from the developers, publishers that don’t work fully. Dying Light looks to fall under neglect as it doesn’t seem to have been updated (except for the inclusion of DLCs) beyond the 2015 build of the game, and seems to be stuck in a console-ready graphics preset.

I started playing Dying Light for the first time recently. Compared to the Windows version, it looks like Techland completely abandoned the Linux native version of the game. Is this update fixing the Linux native version to be on par with Windows?
