Well, the "dev island" that people are playing (according to techland) was never supposed to be released in the first place. The actual retail version should be up later today.
That info is per a Techland employee that was contacted via email.
Also, the authentication processes and servers were also revealed in the dev build, soooooo.....that's pretty bad.

SO fucking glad I didn't preorder this after all. If I want a zombie borderlands, I'll replay the Dr. Ned dlc again for free.
I was on the fence before about getting this shortly, now I can safely say this is in my "sub-$20 Steam sale if ever" category. No thanks on sloppy PC ports.

Funnily enough, Borderlands PC was a complete wreck at launch, in a very similar manner.
But yea, I easily agree with your assessment - I was immediately turned off by the smoke and mirrors bait-and-switch trailer when people found out it was actually just a mindless Borderlands clone.

That video is hilarious.
Hopefully when the real version of the game hits Steam, it will be vastly improved (beyond the 37 fixes in the "day one patch" which apparently don't fix any of the problems brought up by various reviews).

Also, this only effects Steam users. The retail PC version of Dead Island is supposed to be the actual final build that was supposed to be on Steam.
Just remember that when this game starts to sell poorly and people who already bought it start demanding refunds because of its halfassary
that its all obviously because of pirates and the game just needs some more DRM!

That may be true, but who buys PC games in retail stores anymore? I'm curious if anybody did that with Dead Island to offer a comparison.

I actually found an easter egg doing the no clip mode. If you fly to the big building in the middle there's just a guy hanging out up there. I then stopped playing because the servers were so borked last night.

Some people like physical copies of their games, console or PC. I only download games if they are ridiculously cheap, otherwise I always go with a boxed copy.

Although I didn't buy Dead Island retail die to Green Man's offer at the moment, I buy most PC games retail. Amazon is usually the cheapest way to buy PC games outside of sales, I don't have to use my bandwidth up and pre-orders often come before the official release, which is when digital download services graciously unlock the game. Simples!

Good to know, last night a friend claimed he was "being transformed into a ghost or some shit" and we had no idea what he was ranting about. Can't wait for the update now though!
Just loaded the fixed version and my dlc and saves we're corrupted. Uuuuugh, I want to love this game but it doesn't want me to!
That's pretty bad, but considering it was before the actual release date, it's not the end of the world. They are fixing their error, so let's just let this pass.
Just downloaded the patch and it made the game worse. I'm stuck inside the main lifehouse and can't leave. OH but they DID get rid of no-clip. I think it was better the way it was last night. Just saying.
@Brett, its okay you can always just listen to me talk about playing it on xbox on skype and imagine what its like outside the lifeguard shack.
Yeah.. I just deleted my save, if I start over, might as well do it from the beginning.
When I loaded my save up I was at the lifeguard hut... and the quest was 'tutorial'.
I lol'd then deleted the save :P

I want to know how many issues this solves. Obviously it fixes NoClip being bound to Y, but what about all of the other flaws mentioned by reviewers that give the game an "unfinished" feeling? My understanding is the day-one patch that was announced before this fiasco surfaced doesn't target those.
I played with friends at midnight last night for at least 3 hours. The birds eye bug was funny, but now since they patched it all our quests have disappeared and now we can't get them back so we're forced to start over. So much for being the early bird.
no sight of day 1 patch... but we got a patch that just deleted the dev bs and now our saved files are useless
Oh well. Only affect North America anyway. Dead Island is still waiting to be unlocked everywhere else so most people will never encounter the problem at least. There's been a few incidents in the last year of people uploading the wrong version of games if I recall. Must be something in the water...
Jeza: Pity you didn't read it after you saw.

Codes used to be dev commands. Turning off clipping and falling off the world is par for the course. If it's a problem, don't use a code. Problem solved!
I'm hoping they fix this framerate issue I'm having. Ever since they pulled the dev version this one runs like utter crap. It's really disappointing.
To deal with the stutter and the lag, make sure you're playing a
"single player" game not a co-op mode game. the lag i think is caused by trying to connect to other people. i turned it off and the game has been running great
