Dead Island Message Board  

Well, I have played thru this game 4 times and now the cruddy stuff happens on my 2nd go thru with Sam B and Logan(so far), both games are now corrupt. I did nothing just played and then my saves went corrupt. All my sweet weapons and all the progress is now gone. Why can't Steam and others make games that don't break after they are working correctly. Why go back in and screw with it, just to make everyone upset who paid their good money for the game. I just think that maybe they could improve on the grafix or gameplay and leave the stable stuff alone!

The game was more than a bit buggy man, it's understandable.

Yeah, I have this game for xbox 360 and I have 2 characters that won't load. Many hours wasted and the game company/devs won't even make an attempt to fix it. No reply, no contact number, no forums on their site....nothing.

Yeah the lag made the game suck terribly so I stopped playing by the time I reached the second map. Seems that isn't such a bad thing after all. Rage is coming out soon, it looks potentially fun, then Saints Row 3 will be out too. After that there's also SWTOR. Obviously I won't be cheating on that game, I loathe people who cheat in competitive multiplayer game play. I mean if it's allowed then it's not cheating but the stuff I'm talking about isn't allowed :P so yeah. Either way it looks pretty sweet, if you haven't checked it out do it now because if you pre-order you get like a 30 days head start or some such. I got mine pre-ordered. I'm cool like that. www.swtor.com/info <--- oh and check out their trailers, pretty freaking epic! So even if Dead Island turns into complete garbage there's still hope for good games to come in the next few months.

I have no problems with this game lucky me i guys.

Here is what i have for a pc specs, perhaps yours a little low or old. Just compare it

Amd phenom II x4 965 Clock at 4x4ghz
16GB ram (overkill i know)
64bit system windows 7 ultimate

ATI radeon 5970 crossfire with the same ati radeon 5970 (overkill i know)

3xHP 2710 Computer screen.

And a seagate 3tb x 8 total 24tb hardrives

The mainbord is a gigabyte ga-790fxta-ud5

so its perhaps my system that run everything smooth but i have no bug or iam just a noob that have not seen any of it.

I have had a few issues with second play-throughs also, but since I started modding the shops so I could get good weapons it doesn't matter that much. Following the tips in the modding thread I just come back as a level 50 and get some good weapons and play it again.

No issues anymore with it corrupting the game I'm playing either (before the second play through, though now it seems the third is dicey!). I just start a new one if it goes south after it ends. Somehow I think modding the game IMPROVED the reliability of the thing.

My system is...
Phenom 1100T no overclock (my little cpu monitor seems to indicate that Windows or the game is using all six cores at one time or another though I don't know it that is true of the game itself).
2 ATI 6970's in crossfire
16GB of ram, though it only uses a bit over 5 it seems
Three 1.5TB drives (but mostly for vids, pics, and backup stuff on the other drives)
Asus Sabertooth 990FX MB (I was sorta looking ahead to the Bulldozer should they ever release the darn thing)
Windows 7 Home Premium

I don't get a lag problem unless some other program is tying up the hard drive doing something like auto backup of the main drive, and then only for a second or so.

Can't even start the game myself... just bought it because of the steam sale. Should've known this soon a sale is big indicator of a really buggy game.

Seemed to work just fine, then I only set the video to full screen and bam. Just black screens at start up. Anyone know the hotkeys to flip to windowed mode?

I actually enjoyed the game, got it on day one for PC. I only have 2 gripes about the game. The patches really screwed up my save games, which was easy enough to correct. And there needs to be more post game content.
