Dead Island patch detailed, Steam version to be replaced with standard version

Dead Island has quite a large amount of bugs, but I didn’t mention a number of these in my review simply because Techland has had a day-one patch sitting in it’s holster ready to fire off when the game was released. This patch will fix a large amount of issues which could plague your game, with some being only minor annoyances and others potentially quest halting.

You can find the full list of the game’s fixes below, also if you happened to download the Steam version of Dead Island, you may have noticed something else wrong with your game. The Steam version was actually a pre-release development build which has a number of large glitches and other problems. Obviously they are going to be releasing a normal version to patch player’s problematic games. Techland is expecting to release the patch to North American consumers as soon as possible with other countries receiving it on Friday.
