    A new Dying Light update (1.4.0) which Polish developers Techland began rolling out today has added modding back into the game. The latest patch 1.4.0 has reinstated modding for Dying Light PC version after they accidentally blocked modding in a previous patch. You will need to update to the latest patch in order to play modded games online.
    A lot of gamers did not update from the original version of the game which allowed modding before Techland inadvertently patched it. This version will be incompatible with the latest patch which will allow modders to play online with other players that have the same mods.
