Developer Techland has released the latest patch for Dying Light. It was originally designed to block cheating, but has had some side affects. The patch accidentally banned mods from being used. This was not originally intended to happen and the studio is currently working on a fix.
"With the recent patch (1.2.1) on Steam we blocked cheating to make sure the game's PvP system (Be The Zombie) would not be abused," a Techland representative told Eurogamer. "This, however, had the side-effect of hindering mod-makers from making changes to the game."
"Creating obstacles for modders has never been our intention. We are now working on a quick patch that will re-enable common tweaks while stopping cheating in the game's multiplayer mode."
"At Techland, we have always supported the mod community, and loved seeing how our own game can be changed by the players. A big part of the original Dead Island's success was the passion and creativity of mod-makers from our community. We want the same for Dying Light."
