So we know that the launch of the PC version of Dead Island didn’t go that well, with an incorrect build being put onto Steam. Deep Silver has contacted us with an update.
First, the correct version of the title is now available on Steam and fans are able to download it. Secondly, the update we mentioned this morning:
“May cause incompatibilities between the incorrect version of Dead Island that was released and the fixed version and cause a wipe on saved games. We tried every avenue possible in order to avoid fans having to wipe their saved games. However, we have a solution to help regain some quest progress: When the game opens, select New Game -> Select the same character as you were using before, and then there will be an option for “Chapter Select” which will allow the player to jump to the last chapter they were playing in.
The Bloodbath DLC is still on schedule as planned – fans who preordered the title will still receive the Bloodbath DLC when it launches as stated previously.
We are aware of The Ripper activation bug which will not load as a result of the version update and this will be fixed in the next game update, coming soon.”
There will also be an announcement soon as to how Deep Silver plans to make it up to those affected by the day one issues.

This world is sacred….
To be honest I’m surprised that it could beat that, since I heard on the web that Sacred 2 was quite buggy, its was also an Deep Silver game. If they rush games then that isn’t cool. At least it isn’t as bad as Jowood, I hate them so much, they’re pure heartless.

They really have screwed this up. That their other games have also been buggy is cause for concern, maybe these guys are friends with Obsidian? Trust -10

Noo I don’t think its as far as what Jowood did with Gothic.
