After a recent patch aimed at taking down cheaters online inadvertently disabled the ability for modders to infuse Dying Light with custom made content, Techland has finally reversed these effects.
This latest patch will not only remove the block which prevented community members from generating creative additions for the zombie shooter, but will improve things under the hood as well. One significant change will be a drastic reduction of strain on system RAM, as well as several other tweaks detailed below.
