Oh wow, I just read this:

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

"Here’s the latest from us on Dead Island PC for North American users. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused to fans who wanted to spend their day crushing some zombie skulls. Thank you very much for your continued patience and support and we are completely committed to ensuring that you have an excellent time with our game.

· First, the correct version of the title is now available on Steam and fans are able to download it now.

· Second, the day 1 patch notes in their entirety are below. Please 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 some saved data. However, we have a solution to help regain some quest progress: 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 North American fans who were affected by the day 1 PC issues, stay tuned in coming days for those details as internal discussions are ongoing on our end.

· 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 will be announced shortly!) as stated previously.

· Fifth, we are aware of The Ripper activation bug which will not load as a result of the version update and this will be fixed in the next game patch, coming soon.

To make it shorter, they screwed up and sent the wrong version to steam for the NA release (September 5). I contacted support to know if I have to redownload. Just... wow...

Btw Weras, maybe this was also the reason we couldn't play, since there was compatibility issues due to this problem.

Yes maybe we can try again sometime

I have the game. Haven't tried it out yet (a bit busy with RL and 13th stuff). But I am looking forward to trying it out.

my friends say its sexy

Let me know on xfire if you guys want to try it online.

Btw, I tried it with the new patch and it's muuuch better. But I don't really understand if the game will auto-patch itself to the retail version or if I have to redownload. I contacted support, but they didn't really answer my question:

"... Also, how can I proceed if I do have this problem. Should I wait until the game updates its self or do I need redownloaded? My version is 1.0.0, according to the main menu."

The answer was:

Quote :

"Dear Customer,

thank you for your inquiry.

The updated (and finished) version of Dead Island is now available on Steam
and fans are able to download it now.
The first version which was uploaded to Steam was indeed a beta version, we
are sorry about this mistake"

That means I do have retail version now or I have to redownload. O.o I'm confused... I might write them again. Lol

I sometimes think that the Customer Service/Support people are given different copy-paste answers to answer those questions. Like a list of 500 automated answers, and with a tap of a number a copy-paste answer is given. It just sounded so lifeless & unhuman the way they answered that.

Lol... Yes, it makes me wonder if they even read my message.

I also thought this was a little funny:
