Founded in 1994, the Seattle-based studio made the announcement on the official Zombie Studios website , but it doesn't spell the end for free-to-play shooter Blacklight: Retribution.

- Daylight in Russian - 11 November 2014
We know that there is an interest in Russian subtitles for Daylight. Fortunately, we happen to have a very awesome person who is fluent in Russian at the office and who was willing to take the time to translate the game. Russian is now available in Daylight. Happy gaming! Нас часто спрашивают планируем ли мы выпустить версию Daylight с русской локализацией. К счастью один из наших сотрудников знает русский язык и помогла нам перевести игру. Daylight - теперь с русским переводом. Играйте на здоровье!

- Daylight Updates - 16 May 2014
Greetings! We have made some changes and further improvements to Daylight. 6/5/2014 - Added "Launch in safe mode" option. This is the same No SLI option with additions to fix crashes. 5/29/2014 - Updated crash logs to include more useful information. 5/19/2014 - Fixed water textures not appearing in game. 5/16/2014 - Implemented Xbox and Playstation controller screens and buttons. To activate it, you will have to go to Settings Menu > Use Controller and "Enable" Defaulted load to Borderless as Full Screen was causing some issues with the users. Fixed loading into a blank environment on a previous save. Updated the Diagnostic Tool with a passthrough feature so you can still attempt to launch the game even if you fail the check. Added a few programs to the Fail list in the Diagnostic Tool as they have been reported as causing issues. Coming Soon: Привет всем любителям ужасов! Мы рады сооб…

- Patch 1.3 - 9 May 2014
We have been working very hard to address the Fatal Error reports that many of you have seen since Patch 1.0 and while we had a work around to go to Version 1.0, we have now fixed the issue! Version 1.0 will be disabled now and you should be fine playing through the new version of the game. Thank you for your patience. I know this is Daylight on PS4, but since they are the same game, here's a funny reaction video :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roLvoaKjdcQ And here is an entertaining twitch stream: http://www.twitch.tv/machinima/c/4119903

- Patch 1.2 - 8 May 2014
Greetings! As with all new technologies, there have been a few bumps in the road that we had not seen before that you have brought up and they have mostly been compatibility issues. We have been listening to your issues and troubleshooting the problems that you, the community, have brought up. It is of the utmost importance to be aware that Daylight is built on next generation technology, and is the first truly and purely DX11 game. This means the title is not compatible with systems that are only running DX9 or DX10. To run Daylight you need not just a DX11 video card, but a DX11 capable OS as well, with the appropriate patches installed. Through our troubleshooting we have found that the great majority of issues stem from the above requirements and users either thinking they are DX11 capable when they are not, or not understanding what DX11 entails. System Requirements First, the requ…

- Patch 1.1 - 1 May 2014
Greetings: We have found an issue where certain people were having problems with SLI which resulted in a Fatal Error Crash. If you were experiencing this crash and moved to the Version 1.0 build, we would like you to move back to the main branch by right clicking on Daylight, go to Properties > Betas and choose NONE - Opt out of all beta programs. When launching the game, please choose the option that doesn't run SLI "Launch without SLI Support". If you are still having the same fatal crash, please post in the forums. Feel free to switch back to Version 1.0 if this does not work.

- Patch 1.0 - 1 May 2014
Patch Details: Fixed an issue where the wrong Video Adapter could be chosen resulting in the game not launching or failing to detect a DirectX 11 capable card. Daylight still requires DX11 to run as per the system requirements. If you are still having problems, please make sure you have visited the troubleshooting in this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/230840/discussions/0/558754898830659515 Patch Followup: It seems that we have fixed some people with the patch that was sent out last night but we have noticed that from your reports it might have broken some players. If the patch has prevented you from playing the game, we have added a version of the game without the patch on it so you can still enjoy the experience. To use Version 1.0 which is the version of the game before we applied the patch, please right click on Daylight in your Steam library, go to Properties > Betas and se…
