The version I downloaded says it's reloaded, but all I have for a setup file is a steam setup file in the iso and then it wants a code. There is a crack folder in the iso.

Any ideas?


no, you must install the game with the steambackup.exe and all is OK, this release is perfect. I have the official steam software installed and it doesn't care about the release. I really should buy this one anyway, very nice game, very fun, not about the story but about gameplay.

If you guys are interested. For the reloaded release you need to copy the Data folder in the Dead Island\DI\out.

Yeah I got it installed last night, then after a couple of hours play I realised that I had started a co-op game. No big deal, but should I patch the game or not seeing as I'm going to restart? I'm waiting for one of my buddies to come online so maybe we can have a co-op game later so I won't bother with a SP campaign.

From the time I played it last night it was fun. Certainly more fun than Deus Ex 3 which I'm struggling to enjoy tbh.

Right, all those of you who aren't seeing any difference when editing the 'video.scr' file it seems to me that it is IMPERATIVE that your installation folder is 'DeadIsland', not 'Dead Island' as the steambackup2 creates.

I spent hours trying to edit that fucking video.scr only for nothing to happen before finally removing that space in the installation directory. Voila, everything now works.

X:\Program Files\Dead Island\DI\out\Settings - Wrong.

X:\Program Files\DeadIsland\DI\out\Settings - Correct

Well that's funny, changes in video.scr work for me and my game folder is named "Dead Island" (RLD version here).

Anyone know whether you can just alter skill points with CheatEngine, or are there some anti-cheat measures in place? I noticed in default_levels.xml that there are lines such as this for every level:

Code:
<level id="2">
   <prop n="ExpToNextLevel" v="500"/>
   <prop n="AllowedSkillsCount" v="1"/>
</level>


So would you need to alter the AllowedSkillsCount accordingly if you wanted to have more than default number of skills? I wanna grab all those non-combat skills right away if I restart on a fresh character later.

In that case I guess it's just a tempremental piece of shit. All I know is all morning I didn't have the added effects but as soon as I removed the space from the installation directory and ran the game it looked a ton better (inc the shadows from chain link fences)

Not much. The locked crates are scarce in Act 1 and 3. Act 2 compensates a bit on that end but the actual contents are not worth it that much.

Shinin, she's black, isn't she?

I have it installed outside of the Program Files folder, though.

The RLD version is just extracting the Steam repack, so it doesn't matter where the game is installed.

Er, kind of.
Applied the RELOADED update 1, then the Update 2 but I'm using the 1.0 reloaded exe, just like DarkRonhrin advised.
Reloaded's 1.1 exe introduces some nasty choppiness. Sad

Installing update 2 + the 1 exe works fine?

What does update 2 change from update 1?

It's on the outer partition of the fastest drive, just like it should be. At least I'm not installing them in the program files folder. Cool Face

Dunno how well it works with the 1.1 exe, so far everything's good with the 1.0 exe.

Dunno.

What does a drive letter have to do with it? I mount all my partitions of all my drives to NTFS folders on C: so I basically have all my stuff on "C:" as well. No point in having million partitions all assigned their own letter anyway.

You generally want the fastest drive to host the OS AND your games, unless you have an equally fast drive available separately. So "C:" can be the optimal choice in many cases - as it is in mine also.

In that case (provided that the second drive is of same capacity) it's best to set up RAID0 array, ending up having both game and OS on same "C: drive" anyway Smile
