Dead Island Released via Steam and Day 1 Patch Details

Deep Silver today made us some clarifications for the Steam version of Dead Island, a gruesome zombie slasher developed by Techland. First, they announced that the correct version of the title is now available on Steam and fans are able to download it now. Second, they unveiled the full and official changelog for the day 1 patch (check full article for details). Note that this update may cause incompatibilities between the incorrect version of Dead Island that was released and the fixed version and cause a wipe on saved games. A solution to help regain some quest progress is the following: when the game opens, select New Game -> Select the same character as you were using before, and then there will be an option for "Chapter Select" which will allow the player to jump to the last chapter they were playing in. Third, Deep Silver plans to announce a "make up" to fans who were affected by the day 1 PC issues (details coming soon). Fourth, the Bloodbath DLC is still on schedule as planned - fans who preordered the title will still receive the Bloodbath DLC when it launches (date TBA shortly) as stated previously. Fifth, The Ripper activation bug, which will not load as a result of the version update, will be fixed in the next game update, coming soon.
