Dead Island PC Patch 1.2.1 Notes
It seems that Techland and Deepsilver are still working to patch the PC version to the best possible product with PC patch 1.2.1. No need for a link to download, Steam will update the game automatically.
When Dead Island first released, Steam had the developer build uploaded into their servers for download allowing players to noclip anywhere they wanted in the game. A later patch fixed that, and it’s nice to see developers supporting their game post launch.
This patch includes the following fixes:
1. Fixed running game on Steam in offline mode
2. Fixed damaged saves when a player has more than 190 items in inventory (weapon or stacked items, counting in items from Jin’s storage and player inventory). Corrupted savegames will be recovered when possible.
3. Fixed problems with unlocking “There and back again” with progress 72/72
4. Fixed duplicating weapons:
a. When throwing and dropping at one time
b. When dropping items from inventory
5. Optimized scanning for friends-process, to decrease lobby server workload
6. Fixed random freezes when playing 4 players coop no longer appear
7. Fixed issues when using medkits from inventory menu
8. Stacking items issue solved: miscellaneous items to 9999, medkits and alcohol to 30 instead of 10.
9. Added the option to disable voice chat in game.
10. Limited Jin’s storage capacity to 150
11. Fixed: disappearing items when there is no place in inventory and a player tries to get an item from Jin’s storage
12. Improved trading: items will be removed from the smallest stack instead of a random one.
13. Fixed problems with corrupted profiles, which caused the game to start with black screen and freeze.
14. Fixed levitating zombies after killing
15. Fixed not being able to show quest details in quest menu using Xbox controller
Our review of Dead Island on PC is still on its way.
