*** Official Dead Island Thread ***

Is there anyway to play this game without connecting to steam? Or can I play it somehow on offline mode? My net is crap and it takes me an age to connect to steam.

This sucks, I would have never of ordered it if I knew it was an online game.

Damn my research skillz >.<


Read a few pages back, you need to set your join settings to none-single player.

While on the subject, anyone modding make sure to disable VAC.

I did. I still need to be connected to Steam ONLINE or else it won't connect. Using steam in offline mode brings up an error.
 
You wont be VAC banned if you don't play with other VAC players, mod then play with players with VAC enabled and you could get a suspension.

Just what I picked up from the DI Mods page on the steam forums.

@Freeman, sorry I miss-read your post, missed the part about steam being offline, in which case I'm not sure, have a google about or look on the steam forums, it should be possible as you can play the game totally SP.

Looks like they screwed it up in the patch. Hope they fix it soon :(
 
Dear Customer,

thank you for your inquiry.

Because of the Steam "Cloud" architecture its actually only possible to play
Dead Island if the Steam Client is online and connected to the Steam network.
Our developers are working on a solution in order to make the "Offline Mode"
available for you. We're hoping for your understanding that we cant make any
promises at the actual moment.

Note: If you reply to this Email please do not edit the subject line. Thank
you!

It "may" be possible to use your phone as a tether to connect to steam>boot game>disconnect phone. Though I don't know if that will throw up any errors on disconnect. Its strictly a dead island issue, not a steam issue.

Totally agree with that. I was hugely let down. AMAZING trailer.... poor game.
 
:o

Was just in a game with a couple of lads, real good fun doing some missions - got to the church and they were throwing down all these bats....

Level 1 Homerun bats and flogging them for 3k a piece to the trade man :D - must have made about 100k each...
 
Gawd, can we ban the next person that winges that DI is not like the video. STFU please; it was not a gameplay vid. Struth.
 
Only thing that sucks with these graphics tweaks is that one could get banned with VAC on, not likely but really isn't worth the chance. Only played the game with one buddy so far since he turns VAC off.

Nevertheless I'm almost 80% of the way through a second time lvl 41 :D
 
This is pretty addictive. Had an incredibly late night last night, but such a blast :)

Just moved into the city (church thing) and started to get a bit of an asskicking.

Hit me up on steam "the_munkeh" - no one else i know has this on pc. :(

is there a way of adding randomers as friends 'in game'? I dropped connection and couldn't find the people I was playing with for ages.

Steam Tweeted pretty much saying VAC will not ban you for modifying DI.
