TechLand has responded to controversy surrounding the latest 1.2.1 patch for Dying Light that disabled PC mods for the game.

A TechLand representative posted on the Steam forums regarding the upcoming patch while issuing an apology that the latest patch disabled PC mods from working in the game:

"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. 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, and we are sorry for the inconvenience. We are now working on a quick patch that will re-enable common tweaks while stopping cheating in the game's multiplayer mode. "

The representative then stated, "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. For quite some time, we have been working, and still are, on giving modders all the power we can. We will keep you updated!"

DSO Gaming also reported that TechLand is looking into the memory leak problem that plagues the game and promises that they would fix that in a future patch:

"Techland claimed that is investigating them and will release a patch that will - most probably - address them." Says DSO Gaming.
