I am seriously enjoying this but co-op is the way forward Nothing quite like 2 people charging into a horde of zombies and drop kicking them into things.
On a side note, When we got to the night part I cacked my pants.... good lord.

Played with 2 mates last night and we thought it was a good idea to do a quaratine mission.
Lol we failed
Two of us completed the tunnel one last night, I just used flares to keep the Zeus away from us. Then killed the occasional volatile who came near us.

Zombies on the bridge are so much fun

that would've helped. but we died to being in the side tunnel with the back door shut and then had re-pops outside the door and inside the little tunnel so we got caught with our pants down basically
I hope the difficulty stays like this for the side zones.

Performance is shockingly bad to the point where I can't play - 25fps outside. Also get CTD frequently. Not sure why because my PC is decant. Annoying because it seems like a good game.
You could try the shadow and grain fix and see if it helps?
Soldato
I hate to say it, but your PC specs aren't all that good any more - your graphics cards are several generations out of date (assuming that the link in your sig is still correct).
The 5850 was released over 5 years ago!
Soldato
A quick look and a 5870 is roughly 1/3 of the performance of a 290 which is recommended for the game. A 5850 is slower and even if crossfire is working and you get 100% scaling you are still lacking a fair amount of gpu grunt but more of a problem is the 1gb of video memory. I seen many people saying they are using 3gb+ of video memory with the game.

My brothers playing on a 2500k and 7970, watching him stream it was buttery smooth!
Soldato
My specs page is out of date, I have a 290X.
I've removed the grain, made no difference apart from making the game look better lol. Not disabling shadows because it looks terrible, but even with main settings on medium and everything fancy disabled I still get shocking performance and crashes.
Though to be fair even if I still had 2x5850's it would still be a better PC than 95% of what you can buy on the general market - maybe it's just a crap game

What;s your view distance set to? Try it on minimum.
Soldato
Whatever it is by default, in the middle I guess! I tried it on max and it made no difference to the FPS really, 2-3 tops, so didn't think to try it on min. I'll have a go when I get in from work.
Annoying as I shouldn't have to be disabling everything to play the game, there's clearly something wrong with it!
Anyone else had a Youtube vid taken off due to copyright claims by Nordicscene? Seems they've filed one against me, all I had was the start of the game (menus) and the prologue play through.
Seems to be back up now I've disputed it but still to see the outcome so it may well be taken back down.

Since the posters in the console version of this thread ignored my questions:
Can anyone confirm whether or not they did away with item level requirements? It became increasingly frustrating with the Dead Island series. I distinctly remember low level firearms being redundant against higher level opponents, for instance.
Edit: Also, I know there is an emphasis on melee weapons, but are firearms easily obtained?

Level is still there. I.e. some items are locked until you reach that level still. And yeah fairly easy. Found a pistol and assault rifle and only 12% into story.
Have a 280x and fx6300. Lowest it goes is 25 but generally it's 30 plus now (a lot more in some places). Disable everything and see how it runs, still looks great. Guessing they'll optimise it in patches.
Loving it so far! Played literally all day yesterday. Hooked up TV to comp and ps4 controller to PC and had a blast. Yet to play with people yet, could do with a mic.
