Poor mans version of L4D if you ask me.

Isn't playing this in single player as pointless as L4D in single player?

You can't punt a zombie in the balls in L4D!

Editing the files are a pain in the arse!

You have to open up the pak files data0.pack e.t.c, extract the file you need for example Data\Scripts\varlist_blur_camera_motion.scr. Rename the *.scr to *.txt change all to 0.0 to disable motion blur. Rename the *.txt back to *.scr then put the file back in the *.pack file.

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.

From what i've seen, while the graphics look decent enough it appears to have that cheap look about it, probably the shine effect on everything and the lack of detailed textures, what's the actual game play like?

or you could just open notepad and drag the file you want to edit onto the notepad window

have you actually played it? its the best zombie game ive ever played and its much better than L4D or dead rising by far.

it feels a bit like crysis with zombies at the resort but once you enter the city the game kicks ass!

That'l be the extensive bloom and blur this game has, which can be disabled via the above method

 

[Neil79]

and now it crashes with the edited file!

**** this game , I'm so glad I didn't blow all my money on this over bloomed, low Fov'd console port derp

Perhaps, though to me the shine on characters makes the graphics look a bit cheap, also their models look weak and thin as well, if the game play is good though and not a let down then that's all that matters really.

Feminist Whore is thought to have become Gender Wars, a skill that allows Purna - in the final game - an extra 15 per cent damage against men.

lol! The dev's really messed up this game on so many levels... DEV build, terrible FOV, Blinding Bloom and Blur, now this

Just goes to show never judge a game after a few minutes play, I'm 6 hours in and loving it, leveling up and upgrading/creating weapons is a joy.

oh nooes!!
What's the big deal here? Is it really that bad?No get a grip.
A game about killing zombies on a resort island, but still we can take offence at a hidden sexist reference in the games code.
Who actually gives a flying ****.

 

[sharpygsxr]

i had to mess about with fov for quite some time to get it how i liked it on 1920*1080.

It either looked too narrow or had fish eye syndrome.

Atm i have settled on an fov of 75.

 

[perox]

Why the hell should they have to apologise for some code in their game which no one is supposed to see anyway?

Anyway I've only played a few hours so far and loving it.

 

[Garfo]

so how do i unlock my game

 

[SuperTronNarwhal]

Regarding the crash if you tweak/edit the Data0 pak files
------------

If you're going to mod your Data0.pak file to edit fov or disable blur you must do this:
In a hex editor open engine_x86_rwdi.dll (make backup first)
then you have to go to offset 17134E
and starting at the above offset until offset 171354
change the values there to
E9 8F 02 00 00 90
save file, you're done.
It won't crash now that you disabled archive hash checking.

I started palying this game earlier and I have to say its actually pretty fun.... chopping off zombie limbs with a stick and then kicking their heads off is extremely fun

I made a gameplay vid this morning, its nothing special but its deffo a fun game. Im only in the early stages but I know you don't get guns or anyting till like your lvl12 so im assuming this game is loooong

 

[NeoReloaded]

nVidia users can add sparse grid supersampling anti-aliasing with the NVidia Inspector by using AA compatibility bits 0x000010C1.

Is the only way to enable AA on this by getting Nvidia Inspector?

I've received two working keys from greenmangaming for the main game and one for the DLC. I received the first key for the main game yesterday after I made the purchase. They emailed me this afternoon with two more keys. I activated the DLC on Steam and gave the spare to a buddy.

Check your inbox.
