I bought Dead Island day one and I have only been able to connect to one group of people since. it's really annoying as the games so much more fun in co-op.

It's almost unplayable solo, the mobs are designed for co-op. But honestly, I just wish they could find a way to patch in V-sync. The screen tear is really ruining it for me.

I may just be picky but screen tear is one thing I can't stand, it killed Dead Rising 2 for me as well.....Come to think of it could I maybe get open world melee based zombie game with V-sync one day please?

you'll still have to get the patch anyway. Are you talking about R3? Yea, they patched in changes in the MP from the beta (which is far after the dev cycle, they can't just recall all the discs that already started printing to insert the stuff in the patch) and some campaign glitches which were found afterthe game went gold.

trust me the developers are not laughing.

Do you think they like people, like you, turning their back on a otherwise amazing title...

due to technical issues.

they don't

I am pretty sure a majority of people are in that boat Bod.

Bodster5279d ago

Yeh after searching about online seems tons of people have been having the same problems. I didn't realise how many the auto save bug had affected. It's quite frustrated as its putting me off the game, having to do the same quest more than 4 times...

This game is pretty smooth and bug free now on the PC. I thought they rolled out the patch on all platforms?

They patched it but this is a second patch as the first didn't fix much.

I bought the game last Friday and downloaded the patch on ps3. Its been smooth sailing for me. I hope this new patch doesn't mess that up.

So many devs make the mistake of rushing a quick fix patch and just end up messing more things up, I'd rather wait an extra day or 2 and let it get at least some quality control assessment.

But the simple thing to do is just to make sure the game works before release.

Protag225279d ago

Not that simple. Developers have deadlines (so to speak), so they have to prioritise their assignments.

Especially a small dev like Techland, who probably couldnt afford to hire a whole bunch of testers out of the budget. Don't forget that Dead Island isn't a AAA title with a Battlefield sized budget, it was very much the underdog.
