Dead Island

THE BUZZ: A new patch has been released for Dead island on Steam which fixes a number of issues including lock-ups, corrupt save files and much more.

The full change-log:

• Fixed running game on Steam in offline mode
• Fixed damaged saves when a player has more than 190 items in inventory (weapon or stacked items, counting in items from Jin’s storage and player inventory). Corrupted savegames will be recovered when possible.
• Fixed problems with unlocking “There and back again” with progress 72/72
• Fixed duplicating weapons when throwing and dropping at one time / when dropping items from inventory
• Optimized scanning for friends-process, to decrease lobby server workload
• Fixed random freezes when playing 4 players coop no longer appear
• Fixed issues when using medkits from inventory menu
• Stacking items issue solved: miscellaneous items to 9999, medkits and alcohol to 30 instead of 10.
• Added the option to disable voice chat in game.
• Limited Jin’s storage capacity to 150
• Fixed: disappearing items when there is no place in inventory and a player tries to get an item from Jin’s storage
• Improved trading: items will be removed from the smallest stack instead of a random one.
• Fixed problems with corrupted profiles, which caused the game to start with black screen and freeze.
• Fixed levitating zombies after killing
• Fixed not being able to show quest details in quest menu using Xbox controller

EGM’s TAKE: Dead island is slowly but surely becoming the full experience it was meant to be at release, and hopefully fans have stuck with the game regardless.
