Lead Game Designer Maciej Binkowski said that the team has been excited to integrate VR. “With this extra level of freedom that we give to players, that was really like a no brainer to try and get Oculus on it” stated Binkowski.

The game is enriched by a dynamic day/night program making zombies more dangerous in the night. Dying Light offers crowded fights while players can use makeshift weapons to fight back zombies. The game could be played on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Chose ‘video’ file and open it up with a text editor like Notepad or WordPad. Here you should delete the line “(Fullscreen()” and save the document.

Nausea or a headache during the play: Dying Light is mainly focused on movement which may lead to a motion sickness. Those problems might be fixed by disabling Motion Blur that can be found in the game’s Video settings.

Enabling Oculus Rift support in the game

This can be done by going to your settings folder of DyingLight. Look for a file named ‘video’ and open it with Notepad or Wordpad. When you open the file, go to the bottom of page and add OculusEnabled(), save and close the document. It is ready for Oculus Rift.

In order to repair this first close Dying Light and go to the game settings folder. Open file ‘video’ with Notepad or Wordpad. Edit file to be identical to the displayed image. This is the minimum graphics settings that will let you run the game again.

Making Dying Light run faster

After lowering all of graphics options the game isn’t running as swimmingly as it should be? One more thing could be done. First turn off the game, than find DyingLight settings folder. Browse for ‘video’ file and open it with a text editor.

“VarInt(“i_shadows_sun_on”, 0) // disables sun shadows” should be added by you at the bottom of the document. Add this without the quotes. After that you should save the document and start Dying Light.

All real-time shadows that Sun casts will be deleted. You will get poor mood and visual quality of Dying Light, but it will provide you with several additional frames per second.
