Dead Island Blunders on Steam


Dead Island developed by Tech Land hasn't exactly been off to a great start on the PC. A developer version of the game was released to Steam for North American players.

Tech Land's facebook page released this statement on the matter:


"We deeply regret that an incorrect version of Dead Island was inadvertently made available to players on Steam launch in North America,"

"We are very sorry for any issues you may have experienced while playing the game - the correct, patched version will be made available to North American players ASAP."

Some of the 'features' the developer build had was a 'no clip' mode by press 'y', enabled players to fly around the map and through objects. Quest scripts would randomly break,  making the player to force restart.

A patch was released today, but it added further insult to injury, wide spread reports of (and my experience) that the entire save had to be restarted, due to a quest bug or 0% completion bug.

My own experiences with the dev build were streamed live last night, as I was showing off the 'no clip' mode, flying around the island. Checking out the sites, and areas you are not allowed to get into.
