definently missing the whole point. i have 90 hours into 2 characters. i cannot use these charcters with any of my mods, weapons or inventory. i had all 5 skulls which are gone and my maps are reset. all main and side quests are reset. are you starting to see what my gripe and the others is?

 

this game needs to be recalled us all refunded and they need to do some serious work, no joke

^^ This. If people are going to rant and flame on game they really need to educate themselves on the difference between a Pub & a Dev.

 

Really? Are you serious? They are both to blame. They both made money off of this game. They should both be held accountable. If you call the customer service number found in the manual, you get Deep Silver. So, they should get some of the blame. Techland should just have it's doors closed, and everybody that worked on this abomination should be shot in the head twice.

 

The idea of this game was pretty cool. Sounded fun. Sign me up. First 6-8 hours of play, no major problems. Then it got fun. I don't mean fun like getting a blowjob while you drink a beer and watch South Park. I mean like having a beer bottle shoved up your ass pipe, have a bottle rocket explode in it, and then being forced to clean up the mess with tobasco sauce kind of fun. Weapons disappearing, inventory just vanishing, not getting xp for your quests, having an endless stream of screaming zombies rammed up your ass while you a trying to fight not only 2 rams, but a thug as well. I have had zombies "parachute" into rooms I was in, had zombies jump through the roof of a building I was on in the city (Yes, I watched it happen. He didn't climb up the edge or use stairs). Having your save file corrupted. And my very favorite, having the motherfucking antidote disappear every time you walk into the lab, so you can't finish that quest for the 18th fucking time, so you can move on to the prison and find your last 15 locations . . . . again.

 

All in all, it was a fairly miserable gaming experience. I can't see myself ever playing anything from either one of these companies ever again. I am done with this horrible piece of shit, and I'm trading it in towards something that will probably be enjoyable. Probably won't even do the dlc, even though it's free.

 

And, I don't want to hear about how there are work arounds for most of the problems. I shouldn't have to monkeyfuck around with a usb drive and the hard drive, while saying the alphabet backwords, and sacrificing a chicken, to get a game to work. I own a usb drive, I use it for backing up saves. I know it works. But, I shouldn't have to stop playing every time I finish a quest, so I can back up my save, because some fucktard can't write code.

 

Bottom line. Fuck Deep Silver and Fuck Techland. I think I covered all parties. Hope that makes you happy.

 

 

 

 

I have got to say that is too funny but so accurate!!!! I sat here laffing my ass off and agreeing nodding my head the whole time! these ppl that made this shit storm are total and utter jokes that need to research coding and glitch! Fucking rip off

I love the game, but the 3 crashes I had tonight, npc glitches(wall runners on escorts and not showing up in multiplayer), and weapons going missing on throws really frustrated me tonight.

 

I know future patches will help aleviate these problems, but is it to much to ask for a game to be free of major glitches on release? I cant help but think that maybe an additional few weeks of developement would clear this up before release.

although now i am a lot more educated on where to point the blame for the game failures, thats really not the intention of this thread. the bottom line is this game had serious problems and was still sold for top $.

 

i want to encourage more people who had major glitches to add a post to this thread. in the end maybe i will send tech land and deep silver copys of all the testimonials. i know that nothing will come from it but might add to their guilt. the price you pay for worshiping the almighty dollar is seldom realized immediatley. it usually takes time for karma to catch up to them. i have faith that they will suffer appropriatley

I was quite literally crying with laughter reading this, you are so right, as some people have said in previous threads its almost like deep silver and techland charged us $60/£40 to beta test for them "hey its not fixed but the hype is high so lets release and fix later" /nods.....

i feel like i was taken advantage off. 60$ before taxes and nearly 90 hours of my life and im not going to get either back.

 

 

Let's face it, if you spent 90 hours doing something, you had to enjoy some of it...

 

Corrupt Files & Freezes suck baaaaaaaaaaaaad though. I feel you there :( But don't feel it as a total waste of time, because hey... thats what we do.. play games.

if you would of read all my posts you would of seen that i clearly stated that i was having fun before the progress destroying glitch. i feel like charlie brown believing that this time lucy wont take the football away. i enjoyed almost all the time i spent playing the game until the carpet was riped out from under me and i went down for the count.

 

last night i boosted my way to level 50 in under 2 hours. the game was practically begging me to do it with the way it treated me.

Did I say they both shouldn't be blamed.....No I did not. My reply was aimed at the OP who originally aimed (Before editing his post) all his anger towards Deep Silver. I was merely stating before going on an all out rage and solely blaming the Pub (Not the dev) that he educates himself on the difference between the 2 because he cearly didn't know. Not once did I say neither where to blame ;) But thanks for the read I found it amussing nontheless.

Has anyone tried to use another copy of dead island to see if that makes a difference in the load screen freeze?

Yeah I tried it with my son's copy. It didn't work. Fucking game. Granted i only had a level 31 Xian Mei, but I did every quest possible in the resort and city before taking the money truck back to the resort with the food. Imagine my surprise when I walked out of the church after completing the last mission and found no truck and no Jin. WTF, even though she does look a little like my ex-wife I didn't think she was she supposed to leave without me. I attempted to load the last save and thats when the birds stopped flying on the loading screen and I knew I joined you guys. I ended up doing a speed run with another character just to beat the game, but SHIT, I was just waiting for it to happen again. Nobody should have to play a game like that.

Although I haven't had that specific freezing glitch happen to me personally I've had quite a few others. For one thing, I lost ALL my weapons that I temporarily dropped. I'm 100% sure I picked them back up before I went anywhere but my game froze soon after that and when I played again they were all gone. And 3 times I got to level 45 only to find that the next time I played it would reset back to level 43. AAAND a couple days ago I tried joining a friends game twice and it would get stuck on not the loading screen, but the other one that says "Joining...". The weird thing about it though is that although on my screen it was stuck there, on my friends screen I was spawned and in his game. He said my character actually moved whenever I pressed any buttons but I couldn't actually see what I was doing. That happen to anyone else? This is really a great game, it's just a shame it was released with the amount of bugs that it has. :(

well surprise, surprise. this morning 930 est i recieved an email from dead island support. lass than 24 hours since my email to them. although it contained nothing useful to me i was surprised with the prompt response. basically it went like this. sorry. use a usb. than they said something that wont help me but maybe others. they said i could try manually deleting my most recent save post freeze and somehow this could possible return my corrupt file to working order. slightly behind in progression but with most of my weapons and mods. this did not really make sense to me and since my next save after my first freeze was also corrupted and my next after that is a level 50 im not about to try this out. possibly this may help the next time someone freezes if you just create a new save and then erase it. does not really make sense to me but what do i know. they suggested saving all files before attempting this to be safe. next they suggested clearing system cache. then they went on to tell me that i could start over at level 32 if i completed the game but i would have nothing. i dont know if that info will be useful but it might be. maybe a newly froze person could try this and see if there is anything to it

Sigh, just lost my second character. Level 38, another 50 hours in. It also corrupted my USB saves as well. Over 100 hours lost now.

 

sorry to hear that. another victim to the list. the dead island techs dont even understand yet that manually saving games to usb does nothing to protect you. save your corrupted file so you have a copy of it, that will help. other people were belittling others for not saving thier games to usb like we are idiots for not doing so. we as consumers should not be expected to manually save our games after each session for one thing. secondly it does not work. the only method that would somewhat work, but you would lose some progress would be to stagger usbs. alternating so if you run into a corrupted file you can revert to the previous healthy save.

thats pretty much what i figured. i did not see how this could possibly help. the response they sent me was very generic and a paste that they are sending to everyone most likely. i replied asking more specific questions and clearly stating that i wanted specific answers. the big question i want answered is will they be able to fix my frozen saves in the future with the next or future patch. i also said they should give me the ryder white dlc for free since i already have the arena code. it would show some good faith on thier part and some responsibility for the trouble that they put me through. well thet have not responded to my latest email yet but i will let you all know what they say if and when i get a reply

What is bad is that I love the game. Besides the corrupt, it is a really fun game. When I lost my first character, the game was good enough to start again. Now that I lost my second, I am going to wait until the next patch. At this point it is a matter of time and i am not going to start a third character only to lose it as well.

i just got my response to the reply to the initial email dead island tech sent me. basically it went like this. when i called them out for suggesting i copy a corrupted save to a usb asking how that would help they said it was only a suggestion and i did not have to do it. the main question i had was are you going to be able to fix my 2 frozen saves with 90 hours playtime? they said the next patch might fix them. then they suggested starting over. why you idiots so i can get another corrupted file. they completely ignored my asking for the ryder white dlc for free for my troubles. although they respond fairly quickly the response is empty of value. i can only imagine the pr nightmare they are in the midst of. deservedly so. i have told at least 5 people to stay away from this game for the time being and these people would of most likely bought this game if i had given it the thumbs up. unless they address these numerous issues properly i will continue to steer people away from this mess.

Game wasn't glitchy at all for me, but today about 25 mins ago I maxed the game out and going to trade it in. Its one of those games that is fun the first time around and leveling up, but I pretty much played the game alone since 3 of my friends were never on or is still only on the first chapter. Game gets boring quickly
