xTheBravex Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 No more autosave glitches or trophy glitches? I've just started so any info would be appreciated, Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsnotmyuncle Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I bought the game about 3 weeks ago and haven't run across one glitch at all yet. The main issue I have is properly connecting to games when doing an online run. Especially invites from people on my friend list. I have had a few times it froze, but not when playing single player, it would only happen when I was playing someone elses game. If you do plan on getting the bloodbath DLC I would suggest doing it before playing the game through. Its a great way to earn money which can be a major pain in the ass and gain some good experience as well. I don't see much use for it when your game is done and characters are leveled to where you want them, seeing as it adds no real value to the game itself... unless you just want to kill wave after wave of zombies all day or just get the trophies like I did, then have at 'er (A platinum without a 100% completion due to dlc drives me nuts *cough, uncharted 2, cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) The save glitches have mostly gone but you can still lose weapons without warning and the "How Many Days Exactly" trophy is glitched and won't unlock when it should do . DS froze on me only once but the Frame-Rate is atrocious thanks to it constantly skipping and jerking around and the Audio is little better. The hit detection is really off in places so you can take a shot at someone and the bullet/melee swing will either miss or do zero damage. On the flip side the damage that enemies do is disproportionate to the damage you do to them e.g you take 5% of their health off with one shot/swing and when they take a shot/swing at you, you can lose most of your health in one go ! The real problems are with the online mode which is beyond a joke now thanks to the crippling bugs it has e.g. connection errors/problems, freeze ups (other have had this but I haven't), Lag, Problems even getting the search browser to even load etc. Dead Island should have stayed in development for at least another year, just to make it even stable. Only the Bloodbath Arena DLC has any trophies, Ryder White's Campaign and the pre-order only weapons do not. Also, the saves are hard locked so you will need the PS+ Cloud to back them up.

DigitalFX Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I platinumed the game a month ago without glitches. I always played offline, I recommend that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTheBravex Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thank you all for your responses! I am playing currently offline and I don't plan on buying the dlc, I can't stand looking at low percentage plats either. -HUGE COUGH BURNOUT FREAKING PARADISE- I keep thinking I'm encountering glitches regarding saves but I think I'm just being crazy, Although I'll get to a certain objective in one quest -this was only once mind you- and I'll intentionally restart after seeing checkpoint and the red icon and the mission's progress didn't save.. Ehhh. Probably just being ridiculous XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 There are 2 checkpoints, one that only soft saves which allows you to respawn after dying and the Hard Save that will allow you save and come back later. When the word "Checkpoint" appears make sure it also says "saving" or "saved" else you will lose progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I mean they're locked to the Hard Drive and can't be copied unless you have access to the PS+ Save File Cloud . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCostari Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Ah ok, I've been duping a bit since yesterday and I don't want to get corrupted data. My stats, challenges and trophies got corrupted (Why??) Should I save it on the cloud, to be sure? Or is the chance really low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Since your saves have been corrupted, I'd delete all of them and start over, only this time don't use the duping glitch as that only increases your chances of the Auto Save screwing up and corrupting your save(s) . The last update made it so if your save does corrupt it will attempt to repair it but more often then not you will lose a lot of stuff in the process My advice is to delete your saves, start over and make frequent backups to the Cloud.

MrCostari Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 No thanks Why did my stats got corrupted and not my character? BTW, my game totally freezed at the Techland loading screen, after that my stats, challenges and trophies got resetted. I still got the corrupted data.

Terminator Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Heaven knows why, this game has got some major bugs that can and will make your life miserable! I'm just glad I got the 100% for this so I can finally sell this train wreck of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felatio Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I've had this game from day one and never experienced any problems with it. I think it froze on me once but besides that nothing. Even playing online I can be running around with 3 other players and it doesn't even lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 You've been very lucky my friend, I've had every bug going except the File Corruption one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCostari Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I don't understand why my game freezes and loading the developmers intro. My PS3 was just turned on, it couldn't been overheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 You may have a bad disc, try replacing it with a new copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCostari Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Weird, I bought it second hand and it was and still is very clean, no finger prints, no scratches, just nothing. I'm always very carefull with my discs and so I don't think that is the case. I hope it will never happen again. The only good thing I can get/got all the xp for the challenges again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 A disc doesn't have to be scratched/dirty for it to stop working, I've had several over the years that have inttermitantly not worked since the day I got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCostari Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I think I know what caused it. I may have ended the game (from ps button, menu game > end game (not turning my ps3 off) when it may be still saving in the menu. I always quit the game to the menu, and I always wait till the red flashing thingy in the top right corner is really gone for sure, then I quit. But I may have ended the game not good there. It probably was still saving. That may explain why my character is still there and not my stats. I should look out for that really good and I do that now. Do you think that is the case?

Terminator Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 That sounds highly likely, exiting any game whilst it's still loading/saving can and does cause corruption. I lost a Borderlands save by exiting too soon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaJayJay Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Is anybody still having Co Op issues or know anything i could do?

Please idk if im even in the right forum spot but if anyone has any info that can help me out I'd appreciate it:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Co-op for this has been stuffed since day one and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it except wait it out and keep trying to connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I think I'm lucky I bought it in December. But it still has a lot of glitches I bought mine on Dec 23rd last year and it is the buggiest game I've ever played, even more so than TR:U .
