Dying Light issues

redyashimaru · Mar 1, 2015

First off, let me say I love Dying Light, but I've been having a lot of problems with it. Even on the lowest settings, low resolution, everything set to low, I have the most crippling lag. My system meets the minimum requirements:

Amd FX 8320
Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHZ OC edition.
8GB of 1300MHZ ram.
And a 750w PSU powering it.

I seem not to be the only one having issues with this game. So I was hoping maybe you guys had some fixes for me.

Also if this is the wrong place I'm sorry, if you have a different spot for game related issues let me know and I'll move it.

Build a new computer that it works on or wait for the devs to fix it.

It's not really your fault, the game just runs like garbage on a great number of AMD systems.

Problem is that games runs bad on AMD CPU's. I have an i5 at 4.8Ghz with 280X 50-70fps maxed.

Game is single-threaded and your 8320 stock is gonna hurt, that's why you are getting such a low fps.

I see. Is there any news about a multi-thread update, or has someone found a workaround that threads all cores?

Frag Maniac · Mar 2, 2015

While Undying is mostly right, the game is not really single threaded. It's just that the primary core gets more usage than the others, but not hugely so. At least that's the way it looks on my i7 950.

Frag Maniac :

I heard that most of the CPU issues were with amd. So maybe the single thread is an amd exclusive problem? I hope somebody comes out with a mod that fixes that, or better yet the developers make a patch.

redyashimaru :

Well, there is one thing you can do. Overclocking living crap out of that 8320. It should help...

Undying89 :

I wish I could. The weirdest thing happens when I try and overclock my cpu. It gets this weird lag, it's like its slowed down. I rather hard to explain but every time I try to overclock it does it. Even just by One GHZ, I wonder if it's because I overclocked via the AMD program?

Frag Maniac · Mar 2, 2015

^You should always OC manually vs via MB presets. Plus you really should use a custom cooler to avoid high temps.

redyashimaru · Mar 2, 2015

Alright guys thank you very much for all your help, I have solved my problem. When Undying98 mentioned to try and overclock my CPU I looked into it and everytime I tried to overclock before it was unstable. I found a sweet guide that helped me with my overclocking. I ramped it up to 4.2 GHZ and it's smooth as hell now.

Once again thank you all for the help!

Frag Maniac :

The good news for me is that I was smart enough to buy a liquid cooler when I upgraded my cpu, my plan was to overclock it in the beginning. As I posted above I fixed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out!

I think everyone here is experiencing FPS issues with Dying Light, some also experienced black screen and / or screen freeze. Me too but I figured it out yesterday & actually its a graphical perks (software / driver) issue.

Here's my working setting with avg of 60s FPS during gameplay :
Resolution : 1980 x 1080 (16 : 9) (You can lower it if needed)
Full screen : On
Vertical Sync : Off
Texture Quality : High (Set it to Medium if needed)
Shadow Map Size : Medium (No notable visual difference with High)
Foliage Quality : High (Set it to Medium if needed)
View Distance : Around 25%
Ambient Occlusion : OFF (This is the mother of all problem ! Be sure to also disable this option in your VGA Control Panel)
Nvidia HBAO+ : Off (Helped the FPS)
Nvidia DoF : Off (Helped the FPS)
Motion Blur : Off (Helped the FPS & cured your headache)
Antialiasing : On (Set it Off if needed)

Note : If you wanna up the FPS again you can set both Film Grain & Sun Shadow to 0 by adding & modifying var list noise & var list performance scripts with notepad (Plenty video tutorial for this in youtube).

My Spec : i3 4130, MSI H81M, 2 x 4 GB DDR3 Vengeance Pro 1600 c9, MSI GTX 760 2GB, 500GB SATAII HDD (Yep !) & PSU Corsair VS650 - Nvidia 347.88

Try this first before you buy / upgrade anything

If on AMD GPU of 7000 series or up, try the new 15.3 beta driver. I've been told by a reliable source that it really improves performance.

I've only tested it on AC Rogue so far, which is pretty well optimized, but even in that game the heavy (like Man O War + Friggette) naval battles and ship boarding looks and feels to have noticeably higher frame rate and smoother performance.
