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?

surprisingly many games have linux versions but they never work. DL only displays empty black and green boxes... works great with proton though.

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.
