if they accidentally sent out their new stock of keys to people who already received theirs instead of the people waiting.

:lol

These guys can't catch a break.

I would put my money on that the UKers are getting release this friday and the codes were accidentally sent to those who have already activated them :lol

edit: might be an issue from GMG but it will affect them both unless if they deactivate all the codes and piss off a load of people :lol

Not sure about this two keys thing. When I tried to add the first one it said I needed the base game, but when I activated the second one it said that it was the DLC, then started to download the full game. After that I could add the second key but it also said it was the DLC.

I'll hold out on doing anything with them until they say something about it.

I gave my second key to a friend and it seemed to activate the base game and he's downloading it now. I used the first one and it said it was the DLC and activated just fine. Not sure what's going on, but I'm assuming we each at least have the base game now.

People losing saves on PS3/360, are you losing them only in the time you were playing, or have they reverted back to where you were say, sometime the day before?

It appears Game UK hasn't posted this or my Resistance 3, they are getting an ear bashing tomorrow, will do the usual threaten to cancel all my preorders from them (I have about £400+ worth of games preordered) I better at least get a £10 voucher or something for them failing to deliver 2 games for release date.

ps3 version of this game is sold out everywhere in my neck of the woods.. either they shipped pitiful numbers or this game is going to be a smash hit.

guess it's a blessing in disguise though since there seem to be some technical problems people are experiencing... save glitches... ugh.

I'm in the same situation with Space Marine. It seems the utter crapness of their new website has permeated their whole infrastructure.

The 360 version is actually sold out through Amazon directly. When I picked up my copy at Gamestop last night they said it was a good thing I pre-ordered because they didn't have any extra copies available.

I will seriously give someone $20 for one of their extra keys for my friend who can't afford it right now.

Edit: I don't want that comment to turn this thread into a key whoring thread. Just PM me, we can make a deal, and it will go unnoticed.

Would probably be best to see what is said about the codes.

Someone here said it wasn't a full game.

FOV fix:

Find the data01.pak file in your Dead Island directory. Steam/steamapps/common/dead island/DI

Copy this file elsewhere, extract it using Winrar or Winzip.

Copy default_levels.xml located in Data/Skills

Create folder Data in your Documents/DeadIsland/out directory. Create another folder called Skills inside the Data folder. Paste default_levels.xml here.

Open default_levels.xml. Search for FOV. Change number 65.2 (or whatever default is) to 90 or whatever you prefer. Save. Win.

I don't see an issue with discussing it here (if there's new info). I'm not a mod but it's related to the game so should be cool.

Not if it's like those pics; it looks extremely warped on the sides.

Which is why there are 30 values between the 90 in those shots and the 60 it defaults to.

Oddly enough, I never had this issue on my iMac at home but it does happen on my pc at work. Not sure why it happens on one but not the other.

No, I just know how GAF works.

"Hey, can I have a key?" turns into two people asking, turns into 40 pages of the same. Lists are formed, people start to rage, and it clogs entire threads. It's not a pretty sight. That's why we have dedicated threads for this bafoolery!

Actual issue: I can't see my DeadIsland folder in Documents. Wat.

I seriously hate the fucking city. You get fucked by 4-5 infected at a time and can't even hit them. I must have died at least 20 times.

I eventually got to a point where I would just try to run past everything. Same with the sewers. I would just run past all the zombies and close a door behind me. Once you start encountering the rammers more often it becomes a big pain.

After watching the Giant Bomb quick look I was all set to pick this up for the 360 today. Then I read that Gamestops are selling out. 'No problem' I think, I'm going to Best Buy anyway. Check online and they say the two stores closest to me are out of stock. Swing by during lunch anyway and they are indeed out (2 or 3 PS3 left in Downey,CA). Curses!!!

Found this in the GMG forums:
Some people were issued with a second steam key in error, at the same time as they were given their DLC key today.

We're in the middle of fixing this, so anyone with more than one Dead Island game key issued today should not try to use the second steam key, because those keys will no longer be functional very soon....

I should add that, this does not include anyone currently in support awaiting resolution from a while ago whereby the key was not activating.. Due to their complicated nature, we are attending to you on a case by case basis.

Hope those that have their keys now are happy, we're still clearing the support backlog, so please be patient with us!

Everyone complaining about the fisheye, I generally live by the rule of 80. 90 is too much for me in every game but TF2. Steam forums said 82.5 is perfect for 16:9 resolutions. For me, I still can't get the FoV fix to work, so I don't know how it works.

You all receive and complete quests anytime one person turns them in. Main quests requires everyone to be at the NPC upon completion.

You can go turn in a quest, and the other players can come back to the npc at anytime and get whatever item reward there may have been, but everyone gets the xp reward right away.

So only the person who takes a quest gets to see the dialogue, but all players get the quest and subsequent rewards?

If that's the case I'm glad I'm doing a solo run, plenty of time for co-op later.

Depends on if it's a main quest or side quest. If it's a main then everyone will get to see it as it usually requires everyone to be in the area.
