Latest Dying Light PC patch lifts mod block

In early February, Techland released a patch (1.2.1) for Dying Light on the PC with the intention that the patch would remove the ability to cheat during the game's PvP mode. Unfortunately the patch had some unintended side affects, leaving players without the ability to mod the game.

Techland quickly responded to the community's concerns and admitted that the mod blocking was not intentional. Shortly after that, the developers revealed that they were working on a new patch that would add "free and extensive" modding tools to Dying Light.

To hold us over to the mod specific update, Techland has released a patch that effectively lifts the mod block put into effect by patch 1.2.1. The latest patch (1.4.0) addresses a number of in-game issues, as well as stability issues — most importantly reducing the amount of RAM the game requires.

Check out the full patch 1.4.0 notes from Techland:
