When promotion for Dead Island resurfaced earlier this year with that most-impressive cinematic trailer, Techland were going to have their work cut out trying launching a game that lived up to it -- especially after the disappointing Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood -- but it looks like they may have done just that.
Find out how and why in this AusGamers review.

Why is it so hard to find some REAL australian guy to do voices for aussie people ingame?
WTF? Why was this considered something to not include?

Most of the games I've bought for the past year or so on Steam have been through a proxy. Still fine so far.

I'm making the game better for everyone else through my tireless dedication to testing. Its ok, you can thank me later :P

- The way multiplayer is run is pretty f*****g epic. Simply launch a game and if you want, when it tells you to hit J when someone is near you that is about the same progress/level as you.
- Weapon degredation has never been a good thing. Now it seems like they cranked it up a few notches with only a few kills making your weapons break. Guess thats where talents come into play. This would be bareable were it not for...
- F*****G MOUSE SENSITIVITY. The ingame mouse menu is slow as pig s*** tied to a turtle, but the ingame sens is fast as greased poo. what the crap?
- Game sort of turns into a huge scavenger hunt (which I don't mind) as you search everywhere for all sorts of crap that may be useful.
- I like that the 4 charactes each have specialities. I picked the sharp weapons lady which was a bit of a mistake since you get TONS of blunt weapons. Oh well this game easily has tons of replay value for me.
- Like that you can do not follow missions and still explore. I've spent the past 2 hours f*****g around and only finished my 2nd mission with everyone moving to a new place.
- Combat I feel is great, with you encouraged to dodge attacks and counter-attacking. First thing I do is aim for parts of the body which have muscle or bone showing since that usually = a quick bone snap or slice. I broke both a zombies arms and he still kept coming at me with his arms flapping about which I thought was so awesome.
Great game. Will give Co-op a go later on tonight.

Can't get it to work on my other PC, I get no sound at all..
any ideas? trying to update drivers now :(
Tried editing the config to change audio renderer with no luck either.
Seems I'm not the only one with audio issues but doesn't seem to be too many that get zero sound altogether.
Posted 05:08pm 06/9/11
Posted 05:10pm 06/9/11
EDIT - also getting mini freezes. Usually when i'm attacking the game will pause for a second or 2 then it starts again.

No sound in the menu or in game on that computer.
tried re-copying the steam directory from the i7 over to it which the game seems to work without issues. (tried editing config for the renderers, tried the redist. installs again)
But no dice on all of it, I have a feeling its a code/hardware issue and is never going to work. I guess I will ask steam for refunds >.<

Anyway bugs aside (really? Leaving in noclip mode?) and a few trippy texture errors (doom noclip style bluring and floating blood) it's still a fun game and the weapon system reminds me of a diabloesque game where you can pick up greens and such.

Jesus this is bizarre...
under /documents/deadisland/settings
there is Audio.scr (edit that)
check under /steamapps/deadisland/DI/settings/out
and compare your Audio.scr (edit that)
For unknown reasons, on the second PC it was re-writing that steamapps config file and the dev ( // ) notes for the audio renderers are completely different. (the steamapps is wrong).
With a bit of changing to make the game call forth the correct audio render and some read only access the sound is working finally! (I'm not sure why, but the i7 PC does not have this automatic rewriting issue).
After Reinstalling DirectX's, Updating Motherboard chipsets/audio drivers, enabling/disabling audio enchancements and stereo/5.1 etc. this has been the only thing to solve it.
Hopefully for anybody else having the same issue (no sound at all) this saves you more time!

I have read on steam forums some people having stuttering issues after a long period of play. Perhaps I did not get far enough or play long enough tonight however.
Over on steam forums there are some tweakings of settings that may help you out.

-----------------
Lightbulb Fix for stuttering.
Okay I have good news and bad news.
- Good News: Found a fix for the stuttering issue that's been happening with the latest patch.
- Bad News: The temp "fix" will turn off MP since that is the cause of the stuttering issues.
The Fix: People were close when they said to make the game Singleplayer in the Multiplayer options in the settings but for whatever inane reason, singleplayer still prompted and checked for players to invite and join in their games which was causing the massive stuttering.
The solution is to set the game to LAN mode. You can do this by starting up the game and in the main menu, go to Options, click the Online tab up top and set "Game Visibility" to LAN. Voila, this should hopefully stop the rampant stuttering from happening.
Hope this helps you all while we wait for the "final" build :|
Edit: Another possible solution is to go to your Task Manager and setting DeadIslandGame.exe's priority to Normal from Below Normal.

As far as the priority issue is concerned someone here may be able to help way more than I ever could.
My experience with this sort of stuff goes back to fiddling with windows and games etc. back in the early/mid 90s just to get them to work.
To be honest, it was only stubborn defiance for wanting to fix something broken that I managed to fix my issues :)
Tried forcing Vsync through your video card in windows?

2) the mouse sensitivity is all f***ed
3) looting luggage sucks balls
4) can't find anyone in mp
would have to be the worst game i've ever purchased
Posted 02:01pm 07/9/11
1. my game works fine with two monitors
2. i adjusted to the mouse sensitivity in about 5 minutes
3. who doesn't like looting, what's wrong with you.
4. i have friends to play with

I think I can only really enjoy this game when I get a chance to co-op, it's such a slooooow game. & the inventory / looting mechanic is a nightmare. Plus you have 8 weapon slots but YOU MUST use a console selection wheel. The whole advantage of PC gaming is we have a f*****g keyboard at our fingertips so we dont need these awful mechanics.
That said, melee is fun in this game, & the backdrop is rather pretty. Just need co-op now ( My mates say it aint unlocked till friday for them still?)
Posted 06:51pm 07/9/11
Posted 07:00pm 07/9/11
Had no game breaking bugs, no crashes etc.
Even the poor 8800GTS hasn't faulted through the game!
Game play is a bit slow but co-op its alright.

The Aussie and Kiwi accents are really f*****g bad though.

There's no vsync so if your video card drivers dont have an option to force it in game than it's gonna look like s***. Lucky nvidia can, dunno about ATI. I have two cursors on the screen. WTF? I can't tell you how f*****g annoying this is. Prolly gonna be gamebreaking for me if I can't find a fix for it. Lastly, there's too much searching thru luggage. It's not fun and gets boring real quick.
I'll give it another go later on because right now I'm too pissed off to keep going. LOL

I decided to play the shooter chick, horrible backstory (Most are for games with out depth). Think Ill go with Sam B or the asian women. Its bad enough there are many aussie/NZ accents with out your own character sounding like that too.
On the positive side the scenery looks nice and the areas seem designed well enough. Slicing up and hitting people is good, Gore is nice.
Here is a screen for you http://postimage.org/image/1hpzjympw/
Ill Post more when I start again with a different better character.
Posted 08:02pm 09/9/11
First things I noticed;
Who's F*****G idea was it to have a floating Menu for options? Thats f*****g GAY!
Feels really clunky (Though probably because I was playing Deus Es for the last week...)
Too many things to search. I like Hide and go Seek as much as the next guy, but you don't need every bag search-able. It should be quicker too.
Weapons seem to wear out really fast (might just be starter weapons, Rusty Pipe and Woden stick etc...) Hope I can find a gun at some point... though I do think this is more 'realistic' i.e. you use whatever you can find to bash a zombie's head in.
Kiwi/Islander dude with Tribal tattoos sounds like he has a (bad) Aussie accent.
A wheel to chose/switch my Weapons? Really!? I'm not playing some s***** Halo game on a console.
AI seems... wrong. If Zombies see me I expect them to try eat me, not stand around going "Huh, I guess I'm sorta hungry... I could eat... maybe after Jimmy has a bite. Oh look Jimmy is dead"
Sensitivity change for ingame menu/inventory... actually that whole system. Cant Drag weapons, cant easily drop. I also couldn't see (didn't look hard) for a way to sort... preferably by damage instead of alphabetically.
- - - - - - -
Really great ideas for a game I think, just executed very very poorly.
Maybe Deus Ex is clouding my judgement though. I am going to keep playing because despite it's (many) short comings it's still fairly decent. But maybe take a break for a while. I think it would be better in Co-op as well, so I might try that with some mates as I doubt I would last long with randoms.

Also, for anyone that has pre-ordered from Green Man Gaming, you will have noticed you may have gotten a email today with two codes. One is for Blood Bath Arena, a DLC quest line or something, the other is for another copy of the game. Not sure why they gave us 2, but they did, so use it well.

Also found another bug that will force you to restart the game. Those stairs you find that have the High Voltage sign on them and they lead underground, don't go down them because you can't walk back up. The character gets to the top and slides back down. F*****g ridiculous.

So if your worried you wasted $30 odd dollars on a s*** title playing single player (like i thought), just give a co-op game with 3 friends for an hour & you'll have hopefully changed your mind.
I was nearly in tears in the 1st 5 minutes seeing 3 of my mates kicking the s*** out of a zombie when he was down :)
Posted 02:45am 10/9/11
Posted 04:35am 10/9/11

Posted 06:55am 10/9/11
Posted 09:28am 10/9/11
The game itself is fun, but its badly wounded by what feels like newbie dev mistakes.
The FOV is AWFUL, feels like a direct console port, had to sit way back.
In co-op you can't turn Steam's voice chat off so you get echoes if you use vent / ts, so you have to turn off ts and use the s***** in game voice which crackles and drops out. If you can set your default recording device to another input you can get away with it but not everyone has a spare mic and input laying around.
Inside buildings you get stuck behind players who stop to look at inventory or something because you can't walk through other players.
Rage seems to take FOREVER to build so you forget you even have it and end up not using your skills (maybe it builds faster if you are higher level).
But f*** me, all the above aside ... kicking a bikini-clad zombie b**** on her arse and stomping her to (second) death with friends? Good show. Weapons building seems like it may be fun too.
Posted 09:40am 10/9/11
I sat watching the walkthru on YoutTube for awhile last night.
It looks like someone built a luxury hotel on one of the Farcry islands and through in some zombies. It's a stunning game for sure, though I dunno if it'll hold my attention for long.
What's the MP like?

Posted 01:44pm 10/9/11
I had the crackling too. There are two things you can do to fix it.
One, go to Documents\DeadIsland\out\Settings and open the Audio.scr in a text editor and change API("XAudio2") to ("aOpenAL").
That alone didn't work for me, but it reduced the static. I also had my soundcard set to 7.1 surround. I dropped it back to 5.1, and that fixed it.
Posted 02:36pm 10/9/11
Anyone else get a really annoying buzzing noise in coop games? Starting to think it's something to do with VOIP as i don't get it in sp. Everyone in the game could hear it though and it was driving us nuts.
Posted 02:40pm 10/9/11
Posted 03:01pm 10/9/11
Yeah, I did the thing in the audio.scr file, and I saw people say they changed their sound from 7.1 to 5.1, but where the hell do I change from 7.1 to 5.1? I couldn't seem to find where the option is to do that in the control panel in windows 7

Most games dont offer 7.1 just like most movies dont do 7.1 IIRC. They just copy the sound from the front or rear and chuck it in the side speaker instead of a sound specific for that side speaker.
Posted 05:50pm 10/9/11
Its not a constant crackling, its like really loud pops and crackles now and then, always happens going into and out of menus, but happens randomly during gameplay as well. So gay :(

The instructions are pretty easy to follow. Grab the file from within the data pak (opening with winrar works well) and set up the my documents folder structure. 82.5 feels pretty good, the setting is <prop n="CameraDefaultFOV" v="82.5"/>
It was such a massive relief when I opened the game after changing it!

Not as impressive as that tho, killing a level 50 through a door, very clever :)

Random note: If you want to carry tons of ammo for guns, just stock up on tons of pistols. Each gun lets you have 15 rounds loaded on top of the 50 spare. I have 7 fully loaded pistols with max ammo (not got more ammo skill yet) which is like 155 bullets.

Also, what the f*** is with the work bench being such a tightarse? Sucks up so much money... !

EDIT - 1 thing I f*****g love about this game is when you get to the city, you really turn into paranoid squirrel. You constantly hear the roars of Thugs, Rams, Suiciders (which may be as far as a few blocks away) and not to mention all the infected and normal zombie noises all over the place. I'm constantly looking around and backing myself into corners because I hear what sounds like a jockey from L4D2. Brilliant thing they did there with the sound echoing.

You can drop into a lower act and help someone out (we powerlevelled a mate 3-14 last night through quests). Its actually kind of fun to lop the heads off level 2-3 zombies with a single blow :P

hotel mission where you need to find that armored truck. grab all the champagne you can find in the kitchen areas
Posted 11:42am 12/9/11
Can you go back and raid it?
Posted 12:29pm 12/9/11
Spoiler:
Theres a b**** who trades you the champagne for 100 exp and 1 diamond for each bottle. Diamonds sell for $1500 each. I think there are 6 bottles total in the kitchen areas, maybe 7 so yeah it's a damn good quest
I have 8 on me ATM for when I run out of cash and I still have around 10k. Selling guns in Act 5 is profitable since they go around 380 each. Oh while we are on the subject, I must be missing something because I swear the game goes from Act 3 to Act 5 just like that.
EDIT - Yes. Yes you can re-enter the hotel. Looks like we'll be doing that over. Rather cheap way to farm cash now I know you can go back in.

How the f*** do you kill Floaters? When you get close to them they just spray vomit everywhere and take like 1/2 your hp. When you are far away they hurl vomit at you forcing you to dodge and waste stamina. Only options I really have is use like 15 bullets on them

co-op-seems good but I cbf

Good game, would be great if they fixed a few of the UI issues and bugs. Considering it seems like it has sold a crap load of copies I'm assuming the developers will keep supporting it etc.

Shock works well, and gun mods + ammo is a must for the spitters and chargers (although if you're nimble you can take care of chargers easily enough w/ melee).
We got some shotguns and automatic rifles last night, looking forward to finding ammo schematics for these.
The ammo limitation for guns seems to work well, you can use them to make tougher mobs easier but the rarity of ammo means where possible you gotta slice ad dice.

Not disagreeing with enjoying the game itself, smashing zombies heads in has a certain charm.
The OCD in me likes the loot as well but just wishes the looted stuff would stay looted.
It's definitely a console port - if you hit a checkpoint and then quit stuff re-appears in bags and bins.
Who the hell is going around the island restocking all of the money and junk?!

I think I've only done about 8 or 9 chapters so I'm glad that there's still plenty to go.

Man it looks like Farcry 2 with Zombies and greenery instead of brownery and brownery...
Still good fun tho... removal of limbs is pretty funny

Was going to give it a serious go after I installed some of the mods and stuff but havent had the time yet. Hoping the mods fix most/all of the Issues I had with it. Probably not going to have any time to play it until my RDO next Friday though :(
