Oh good, a patch to get rid of the Ripper bonus...I was worried that I might get to keep the day one DLC when I bought it from the wrong people. Thanks for keeping me honest guys! Now, uh, could you maybe, uh, upload your final product? Thanks.

Eh, I had a blast with the dev build last night for a few hours but I knew something was up so I cut my session short in hopes for a patch today.
Unfortunately, I loaded up last night's save with the new patch just now and I still have my weapons and levels/skills, but absolutely no missions completed/pending/etc. -_-
Oh well, at least it isn't much to restart.
Anyway, anyone have luck forcing AA?

The game is really a lot of fun. Played for 3 hours straight before I had to go to bed so I was awake for work, haha! I couldn't join my friends in co-op though. We were all in the exact same location but it would refuse to show us each other while searching for people near you. And they were not in the friends list either. Really weird.

Thanks, Stitch, I quit it before getting into the meat of the new features. I think that having no missions will really let me focus on the world, and the lack of weapons will further immerse me in the story of hopelessness. Man, this is such a fun game, but they are trying very hard to make me hate it.

Uninstalled. Game is pretty fun, but not fun enough to warrant immediately replaying the first few hours. Glad I preordered.

Thanks for breaking my savegame, Techland. I was COMPLETELY ENJOYING playing this "broken" game up until that point.
This is quite an entertaining thread. Planning on picking up the PS3 version, glad it seems devoid of the problems plaguing the Steam PC release.
So, you can play co-op pretty much right away, right? What if I'm a few quests ahead / behind a co-op partner, will it cancel those quests for me/him if we are in the same game?

Dev build savegames and configs aren't completely compatible with the retail product? nowai!
Anyway, I'm interested in knowing what exactly happened to the day 1 patch that was supposed to be delivered last night. I'm not putting the blame solely on Techland until I actually understand some of the situation, because I've seen many Steam patches delayed until a certain time interval (usually around noon EST) for no apparent reason.

The fuck. Apparently anything other than level progress doesn't carry over from co-op. Just turned my game on and there's no one at the lifeguard station and I was locked on the roof.

Going to try this on 360 today (rented it), but dont have any plans on playing through this coop. Hopefully it doesnt ruin my experience too much, but I dont know anyone else that has this on their radar. Of course, if anyone wants to try it out on 360 later tonight or tomorrow, add me, please!

why is it that nobody joins my session? the game wants you to join others.. but yeah i stopped playing until the final version is released
So I went to bed after how awful the game ran last night.
Now I wake up to find out they released a fucking dev build? Hopefully this ~75mb patch I just downloaded fixed everything but honestly I just don't care enough right now to even try. These guys are far worse than Bethesda or Obsidian are in my eyes, I've been able to actually play their games on day 1 with minimal problems.

Awww really? I was kinda looking forward to getting that Ripper even though I got the game from GMG.lennylightspeed said:
Also, if they can 'fix' that pretty quick, why not upload the final version for everyone now? Unless they've not finished it?
Or this is the final version and they thought people wouldn't notice that noclip was bound to y and the game is very buggy?

Also there are no quest givers at the starting point and I'm locked outside of the little hut, there is however a giant arrow pointing down at the ground right next to it. Looks like I'm starting over :/
Hmm, neat trick. Starting a new game and them starting from chapter 2 seems to work.
mercenar1e said:
Hm, I'll give that a shot. Eh...reloading last checkpoint restarted me in the prologue and then the game flopped down to a low frame rate. Fucking a.

same thing happened to me.. i just started from the last checkpoint
Anyone know if the skill trees are posted somewhere? Trying to pre-plan while I download.
Edit: Shitty text version here if anyone is interested. http://ps3.mmgn.com/Articles/Dead-Island-Skill-Trees-Guide

Right now it's hard to tell what is a bug and what is a design decision.

So is it crappy on consoles too, or just PC?
Stitch said:
Takes place in New Guinea I think.
EDIT: I havent seen a zombie respawn in the exact same spot yet. Sometimes there are zombies in places where there werent any before. Also this isnt anything like Brink, where everyone was getting performance issues from the start/online issues.
Has issues that need to be fixed? Yeah and asap. But crappy/shitty/whatever other form of the word? No.
So as suspected the new patch just removes the noclip and the files in the folders, I see no fixes in game. FOV is still shit, sound crackles no matter what and strafing makes you feel like you're in molasses.
And the Ripper Blueprint is missing from GMG copies. Not that it was suppose to get it anyway, but still... Release broken ass game, release patch that removes items.

Thanks. I guess I'll pick up my 360 pre-order then.Derrick01 said:

Yeah FOV options would be nice, but no sound problems for me so far.

If you choose restart from last checkpoint, it should put you at a decent point (might be the beginning of the game) with your current inventory and stats intact. Other than having to do that, no strange bugs for me so far. Maybe its having issues with DX11 cards?
I might sound like a dead island defense force guy at this point, but i'm not running into any bugs, performance issues, or glitches...
