Just finished it. Ended up at level 32 by the end of the game. Can't wait for co-op to actually work again so I can NG+ it with some friends.

My god, the boss was hilariously easy. Soon as the fight started I popped Sam's fury and just circle strafed while beating the shit out of him, he was dead before my fury was even over. Got around 35k xp from the fury modifier as well.

For some reason it just unlocked for me on Steam and I'm in Aus?
Is there any settings I can change to get the most out of it? Did someone post config settings or anything?

Oh I completely looked over the not showing up in your log part. Sorry lol. Yeah I don't know about that. They showed up in mine. I can't remember if I had to do something else first to get them to show though. I know the jungle is part of the main quest line. I haven't reached it yet and I'm at 38%.Cutwolf said:

Something from the steam forum:
Dear Customer,
thank you for your inquiry.
Unfortunately you can't change the default field-of-view at the moment. We've already passed your suggestion on to the development team since other players were also demanding changes to be made to the FOV.

Doesnt really seem like an auto-response aside from the header.

As far as normal performance/quality goes, you should be good just messing with the standard options available. For extra AA and maybe AF (?) you probably need to mess with the config file.

I'm in the UK, but the unlock time is the same (1 day 2 hours) - restarting Steam now to see if mine will unlock early
Edit: nope, still locked
Strange, after doing a bit of looking around it seems a couple of members from the AusGaf thread have had their copies unlocked as well, not to mention someone on my friends list seems to have played it too. It seems it may have something to do with being bought from GMG, though that's just speculation on my part.

Anybody wanna play? I'm just starting out. PC version
For anyone getting low frames on PC, try using a gamepad. Apparently keyboard inputs can cause the game to slowdown/lag for some people. I first saw it mentioned on the Steam forums so I tried for myself by re-binding movement controls to the mouse...lo and behold, he was right. FRAPS didn't even indicate that my frames were dropping, but it was very evident. Even if you just press the movement keys while using the mouse to move around, your framerate will still appear to drop!

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything

I have lost two saves. There are stupid bugs everywhere.
I don't know what else to say. Hype got me to impulse buy, and aside from some nagging shit in the beginning I was having a lot of fun. I can even look past small bugs. But my save games. Twice. Fuck off. I want my money back. And I never say that. All the cash I've thrown on PSN titles that I play once and never touch again, no regrets. This shit though...
Ultrabum said:Yes, but Green Man gaming has not given me my key yet
Either way, I think the servers they use are still down...according to twitter anyway.
I'm still around the beginning since I restarted, and really want to survive with 3 other people too.

Well I haven't even put that much time into it, that's the thing. I have R3 I picked up today as well, and have been playing both. So 4-5 hours between the two DI saves. I don't know how it's even possible to run into this bug twice in such a short amount of time. It must be extremely common... how does something like this get through QA?
Now I have to shelve it until they fix it... and with the games coming down the pipe (BF3/Skyrim) I will probably never touch this again. So it's just wasted money as far as I can see.

Still going with the "unexpected capacity overload" on their twitter. Say they're working to get it up ASAP by adding more capacity.

If you like the gameplay, just put it down until they patch it, and then mix it in with your other games. Whenever you get tired of dragon shouts and spotting, you be able to bash some heads at a resort.

I posted this in AusGAF, these are my initial impressions.
Alright I have some impressions of Dead Island after 30min of playing.
- Better with controller. You can change the attacking controls from digital (press the button to hit) to analog (holding LT will ready the attack then it is directed with the analog stick). It feels more difficult to use analog but it allows for more precision and feels really impact-full.
- I think it looks awesome. I'm playing with max settings at 2560x1440 and its pretty much locked at 60 with only small, unnoticeable dips into the 50's, pretty impressed.
- Seems like it is going to be a massive open world, with heaps of loot, I take my time with these sort of games so I imagine it's going to take a while.
- Only gripe I have is related to the FOV. Now I play console games and have never noticed FOV issues that PC gamers complain about but something weird is going on. I have never experienced motion sickness before, but I think I'm feeling slight nausea from playing Dead Island... It feels like the view is really zoomed in.

Interesting... a test build has popped up in the Steam registry. Seems a recent addition, as it's the third latest addition to the registry, and the last registry update was only an hour and a half ago. This is different from the initial game ("Dead Island (ROW)"), which has different App IDs:

So is there any risk of playing before any more updates, I would hate to have my saves gone when the next patch comes out?

Question about the mission Out of Stock:
I've given Stanley Garrison (Australian dude in a bar not far from where you start off.) several bottles of booze but he doesn't really react, and in fact there's a symbol of him that looks like when you've searched something and there's nothing left. any ideas on what I'm supposed to do? Just keep bringing him booze?
