I don't know for sure but I don't think there's anything like that. I think you just get reminders of your current mission every so often.

How far into the story are you percentage wise?

lol, this game's story...
Side character: "Hey main character, we chose to do the job you were gonna do."
Main character: "Why would you do that!?"
Side character: "You think you're the only one qualified to do it? You're new here!"
Main character: "Sorry..."
Side character: "Anyways, we messed up, and we're all dying. We need your help now."
lmao, why do any of the other people in the game even try?

Still having major issues with coop. I keep crashing out. Has anybody heard of status updates or any suggestions?

Sometimes when two accounts are signed in it will have you play as the other account so make sure that isn't the case. Had my fair share of scares in Sunset Overdrive.
The main character's voice over is hilarious to me. He sounds so casual, when he's supposed to be like a tough, highly trained government operator or whatever. He sounds like a college kid.

I hear if youre on the same missions it syncs up.
So far as I have heard, it's actually pretty seamless. If you're in the same story segment, I guess you can progress it just like it's singleplayer, and all of your acquisitions and progression is retained. Someone who has experience with it can correct me if wrong on that.
This guy I run into 3 hours into the game is like "so I hear everyone bragging about how you're the best runner in the Tower. I'll have you know that's me, so you best watch yourself"
Bitch I just got here, how did they even have time to brag about me to you
Kicked his ass for +400 agility, nomnomnom.

Do any NPC's ever question why he randomly showed up one day? I can't think of any. Or is he just "the new guy" with no explanation needed?
What do you mean ? Only have one account on my xboxone
NPCs call the main character a "tourist".

Okay then. I wish I knew what the problem was. Try hard resetting ur console. Normally fixes all problems.

Yes you can send things to the game :] just create a package and put some stuff in it and send it to game

Yep. Game is glitchy, can randomly happen to anybody on any system it looks like.
There are some parts that are spot on perfect to me. Like close to the start when you're turning in the first electric box and the big zombie bursts out. I fought like 7 zombies with a shitty water pipe and lived. When I flipped the switch inside, the guy was all like, "there! I turned on the GOD damned power!"
Made me laugh because it was perfect for what I just went through.
I was on like the 2nd mission or so running back to a safe house during my first experience with nighttime. 1) its SUPER dark i cant see anything at all...feel like that was a bug... and 2) i was like 30meters away and i just loaded and warped into the safe house... was really strange.
Check the end of the OP, there's a possible fix there.

Yeah I feel it's usually appropriate. For a zombie game I actually think it has a better cast and dialog then most of its cousins.

You've got a flashlight, but I'm not sure why you warped into the safe house.
15% story wise with 9 hours played. I just got a quest called
Siblings, where I have to sneak into a school with Jade to see if thats where Rais is keeping the Ativan
atm I have 9 sidequests and 7 finished sidequests. I have about 3 or 4 more !s around the city to get too. And these sidequests are actually surprisingly involving, all have dialogues and little stories, I havent seen a "kill 10 rats" type deal yet
I also have 6 or 7 challenges but I havent touched any of those
Nope didn't work.
Xb1 digital. Who do I call for a refund on this shit? It's something that extremely pisses me off, and im not one to hardly ever ask for a refund but this is one of the few cases it would ever happen.

Yeah it took them a long time to get it fixed.
Got the game, playing it now, enjoying it. Finding the parkour a little clunky, but I think that will get better as i skill up.
Yeah, it sucks. All three platforms can get hit with this bug, and supposedly it's going to be fixed in the next patch but that's how many hours of the game down the drain at this point.

So, how is the coop? Do I have to wait for my friends to get in the story for me or we have to move at the same timw because it can screw the other friend story quest like dead island 1?
do i really? that might have helped...i think i forgot about that lol.
Yeah the warp was really weird...oh well.
About 20 game hours for me, plus 12 dockets, plus a bunch of hours put into their companion app. Yup, fuck that and fuck this game. Biggest annoyance is when a game you pay for waste your time like this. I can see if the game sucked, and you were upset it wasted your time that way. But when a game breaking bug happens that actually does waste your time on an other wise good game, then once again fuck that.
It will. If you're interested in playing parkour-heavy I'd get the perk Freerunning Adept asap.
lol XD
just stay calm everybody!
Zombies cant deal with the antivirus
Wow I'm glad I went PC over PS4 for the ability to disable film grain. Holy shit what a terrible effect.

Known bug related to sleeping in-game.
If you go to sleep then quit/crash during or right after you loose everything.
This also applies to co-op if your teammate quit/crashes during or right after sleeping.
To be safe, always run around a bit and talk to an NPC after sleeping (to trigger autosave) until the patch comes out. Consoles may have to wait longer for the patch than PC.
They won't see you unless you're in their vision cone on the minimap. No zombies can see your flashlight (that I've encountered yet).

Kinda late with this response but If you're being grabbed every 10 seconds then you are clearly doing something wrong and need to avoid them.
Survivor sense shows them where you are
Oh well. Got a refund. Fuck em.
whats it called?
dude I dunno, the medicine
edit: that bug sounds scary. Hell if I lost my 9 hours I probably wouldnt restart to be honest, no matter how much im enjoying the game. just read in the OP what causes it tho, and yeah, I never exist games right after saving or whatever, im always paranoid and make sure its actually saved and whatnot, so hopeflly ill be safe
Thanks! Explains why my hide and pounce technique was failing.

Yeah, fuck em. It's so weird for open world games to have bugs on release day. I have almost never heard of it.
Loosing a single day's playtime just makes me want to get all my money back and if that doesn't happen I will fling my fist in rage while rolling on the floor.
The sidequests / challenges start to populate on the map in the 12% to 15% story range. At least that is when I noticed it happen.
20 hours of gameplay is not a single days worth so...yeah. His messaging might be a bit rage-y but he is not wrong
yup my experience aswell

I may hold off on a patch to play this.
Are people playing on PS4 losing progress too or is it just an XB1 issue?

Ya 20 hours is nothing not counting time on their companion app.
I pay for a product to work. If its a bug that halts gameplay or resets it then it should of been caught.
not going to entertain your fits comment since clearly your a child.
