Dead Island (Ps3) Gamesave fix 'Temporary fix'

Universalhax: While this game is amazing, with the Stunning Graphics right up to the hours of fun it possesses. There are a few issues that need to be addressed, one of which being the 'The auto-save feature failing to save'. I have found myself playing for hours enjoying the game then to find out it has not even saved my progress.
One of the main ways to tell if your game is not saving is when you know you have unlocked a trophy, but it does not ping or you notice the 'Hazard Symbol' at the top does not show. Notice those and personally I would give up.
I finally found a way to 'Temporary fix this', Lets just hope they bring out a patch fast.

hmmm ill try it out, i had a feeling that mp could be the issue or part of it, have a psn friend whos been only in single player mode and hes hasnt had a single issue with the game, like NONE and i was playing in single player too with no save issues till i selected coop psn and then i started losing like 2 missions or 3, id play finish say chapter 10, quit the game then later on go back to play only be in chapter 9 with 2 missions left, annoying as hell.

dead_eye5368d ago (Edited 5368d ago )

Shame. I've only been on single player so far and no problems with it not saving yet. Might have to stay off co op for awhile.

Edit: Think I might already be running the new patch as I didn't have to update it just now.

When did the patch get released?

ScytheX35368d ago

if its the 1.1.0 patch like 2 days ago, just made things worse though. reset all in game stats and causing more curruption in save games.

UPDATE: since setting it to strictly multiplayer i havent had a single problem with my save files, all items, xp, mission progress is perfect, didnt follow those steps (though im not saying you shouldnt) i just left it set to Single Player, and instead of selecting Continue i selected play and chose my save file, loaded up perfectly, so thanks for the tips Dev08

RyuCloudStrife5367d ago

I did that yesterday and it worked once, today I found out it didn't save the sidequests I did...

joydestroy5367d ago

Techland needs to patch this dude. not sure what's taking them so long or why the first patch was so bad that they pulled it.

jriquelme_paraguay5367d ago

this game is massive... and the Developers are small
I have patience, because the game is AWESOME... and we need support creations like this.

Devil085367d ago

Ill make a video soon, to show you how to do it and prove this does work.

Fingers Crossed they patch it. :D but keep the Dupe Glicthes :D

Miiikeyyy5367d ago

The game default setting was LAN for me, I had no problems. As soon as I set it to PSN, the troubles started. I've now set it back to LAN and have no troubles.
I actually believe it's the online part that stops the saving!

Devil085367d ago

Yes, i found it has somthing to do with the ONLINE - My theory is - When you join some ones game, some times it wont save because you do a quest you have yet to unlock, But the game thinks that because your online, it glitches and thinks your doing a quest that cant be saved.

If you get me

christian hour5367d ago (Edited 5367d ago )

My flat mate did that very long sewer mission 3 times in total, just turned co-op to lan and this fix has worked good so far. My last play session was yesterday (when we first turned on co-op to psn from lan) and I put in about 6-7 hours. Afraid to play again cos I know it will all be gone haha. But glad we've found a fix until its patched :D

KwietStorm_BLM5367d ago

lol can you say that you've ever been scared to play a zombie game before, not because of the zombies, but because the game might not save?

Devil085367d ago

hahaha! Thats funny! ive been more scared to play because of the game save issue than the zombies

christian hour5366d ago

haha holy shit, hollywood may have found a brand new scare for the silver screen. This halloween, All your Saves are belong to US!

Dead Island 2 devs believe a Dead Island remake would be a “mistake”

We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.

but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!

Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games

CrimsonWing691165d ago

Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!

Dead Island's 2011 reveal is still the best game trailer of all time

Josiah Motley of KnowTechie writes: "I love video game trailers. While I don’t believe they are an integral part of a game’s success (especially these days), there’s something about a well-produced trailer that really just reminds me why I like video games."

Also the most misleading of all time

SDuck1576d ago

How so? Because it focused on a family that you see dying? (innocent question, haven't gotten a chance to play any Dead Island game yet)

aconnellan1576d ago

More the tone of it - the tone of the trailer suggested something personal and dramatic, but the game was very much reminiscent of Left 4 Dead in that you were just there to kill zombies and nothing more

Ashby_JC1576d ago

You play as a singular character there is no family involved at all in the game. Still a stand out trailer that I remember clearly from years ago.

Fntastic1576d ago (Edited 1576d ago )

Did you not like the game?

I remember going in expecting a L4D style of game, but the excessive camera swaying honestly made me feel ill, and it's rare for a game to do that to me, still don't understand why the need for anything other than maybe a subtle slight camera movement when doing melee attacks etc. Other than that i didn't really find the game that good. In all honesty i had more enjoyment out of DNF, and i know many people crap on that game.

BioShockGX1576d ago

I still remember this misleading controversy

RickRoland1576d ago

It’s the music. It’s perfect. I agree with this for sure, it is well choreographed….unfortunately the game didn’t live up to the trailer.

brewin1576d ago

Maybe not, but it was still a good game. I liked how they expanded things with Dying Light, but Dead Island was a great first attempt! I really liked all the Easter eggs and homages to other horror franchises sprinkled throughout. Sure it was a little cheesy and over there top, but it was a good happy medium between Far Cry and Fallout with zombies.

I'm gonna heavily disagree with that.

CrimsonWing691576d ago

Have you ever seen any of the MGS 3 or MGS 4 trailers? Those blow this out of the water for me.

TricksterArrow1576d ago

They require prior knowledge of the franchise, tho. You show this trailer to anyone, and I mean ANYONE, and they can understand what's going on and relate to the family dynamic almost immediately. No need to know who is Snake, or Fox Hound, or Raiden, or Metal Gear...

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

autobotdan1790d ago

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1790d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1790d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1790d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1790d ago (Edited 1790d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
