*** Official Dead Island Thread ***

figured it might but I dont want to miss out on co-op with people at the start like a few of my friends did with L4D2. It was fine playing but when someone has already played the game all the way through its not the same atmosphere!
 
me and a mate was playing this last night, after about an hour of getting the voice chat sorted so theres no echo from vent it played fine!
 
Nothing stopping them recompiling the engine with tweaks later on, unless it's not THEIR engine?

nothing to stop you altering it either.


I'm using "Total Commander". You can view (F3) and edit (F4) files inside archive and it will unpack/repack it for you.
Edit files with Notepad it will save xml files integrity.
aparently you can just open the .pak with winrar drag the file out edit it and then drag it back in aswell
FOV is inside the datapack here Data\Skills\default_levels.xml - fov and strife speed.
fov 92

All you have to do is to pack your edited files back to Data0.pak

Data\Skills\default_levels.xml - fov and strife speed.
Data\Menu\Movies\IntroMovies.scr - comment everything with // to disable intros, that might fix the black screen problem at the start for some.
Data\Scripts\varlist_blur_camera_motion.scr - change all to 0.0 to disable motion blur
Data\Scripts\ - there is some *glow* and *lighting* files you can mess around with to try to get rid of bloom.

Zomg gona try this when I get home, thanks for the post hate looking through a letterbox. Is there anymore options that you have found that can be changed?

not my screenshot and i havent done it yet :p just saw someone posting about it on another forum i guess the game should be fairly easy to mod to make it more pc friendly if the devs arent going to
 
If you're having trouble with mp , install a program called Tunngle, it allows you to play lan version of games over the internet, there is a lot of players currently playing with this cool app.
 
Can confirm it works, set to 85 on my screen but I'm not liking the fish-eye effect, knocking it down to 80.
