Currently the game is working.

- The loading is consuming 30 seconds;
- Seems to work a little heavy.

But I can play.

In character selection screen the description text for each character is incomplete. The voice works except for Ryder which I don't know if should work. Roughly half a paragraph is missing for each character. Also some flickering textures and popping textures once in a while. Game so far runs fine on max settings on Arch Linux 64 bit with

I have some very weird graphic problems, everything seems like it's running on 256 colours. Go to my gallery for an example http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=331619266 and http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=331619450

The game doesn't render correctly on the open source drivers without modifiying drirc (/etc/drirc or ~/.drirc) and adding something like this:

<driconf>
<device>
<application name="DeadIsland" executable="DeadIslandGame"/>
<option name="allow_glsl_extension_directive_midshader" value="true"/>
</application>
</device>
</driconf>

This is becouse the shaders use the #extension directive in the middle of the program, which is illegal in GLSL. It still crashes after you choose your character but at least it renders correctly

Edit: Fixed config, thx Unaccounʇed4

[Unaccounʇed4]

Slight correction:
<application name="DeadIsland" executable="DeadIslandGame">
<option name="allow_glsl_extension_directive_midshader" value="true" />
</application>

Put them in the .drirc file. I wouldn't recommend anyone touch the /etc/drirc file.

And yeah, you're right. This lets me see the characters properly in the new game menu but the game crashes as soon as its done loading.

Mouse movement has a deadzone and/or terrible acceleration curves.


EDIT: Well it appears that if you copy over the modded files from the windows version that Dead Island Helper generates you can get some better mouse controls. Just stick em in ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Dead Island/DI/out/Data/

I also have the same issues as Txukie ugliness everywhere like it's only using a very limited colour palette. The graphics are most deffo borked for me.

Linux Mint 64bit, nvidia 560ti prop drivers.

copying from old post:

Awesome port, runs really great.

However, I keep getting crashes, in 1-10min gameplay.

Always the same error.

You don't need a filthy Windows software to do that. Go to "Dead Island/DI" folder and extract the Data0.pak file (it's only a renamed zip file) into a new folder. Go to Data/Scripts in the new folder and copy the file default_levels.xml to Dead Island/DI/out/Data/Skills (you need to create Data/Scripts folders). Open that file and change the following lines:

    <prop n="LookVertSpeed_Mouse" v="0.25"/>
    <prop n="LookHorzSpeed_Mouse" v="0.25"/>
    <prop n="LookVertAcc_Mouse" v="1000000.0"/>
    <prop n="LookHorzAcc_Mouse" v="1000000.0"/>
    <prop n="LookVertDec_Mouse" v="1000000.0"/>
    <prop n="LookHorzDec_Mouse" v="1000000.0"/>
    
    <prop n="LookAimVertSpeed_Mouse" v="0.125"/>
    <prop n="LookAimHorzSpeed_Mouse" v="0.125"/>
    <prop n="LookAimVertAcc_Mouse" v="5000000.0"/>
    <prop n="LookAimHorzAcc_Mouse" v="5000000.0"/>
    <prop n="LookAimVertDec_Mouse" v="5000000.0"/>
    <prop n="LookAimHorzDec_Mouse" v="5000000.0"/>

to this:

    <prop n="LookVertSpeed_Mouse" v="0.08" />   
    <prop n="LookHorzSpeed_Mouse" v="0.08" />  
    <prop n="LookVertAcc_Mouse" v="30000.0" />
    <prop n="LookHorzAcc_Mouse" v="30000.0" />
    <prop n="LookVertDec_Mouse" v="30000.0" />
    <prop n="LookHorzDec_Mouse" v="30000.0" />
    
    <prop n="LookAimVertSpeed_Mouse" v="0.04" />
    <prop n="LookAimHorzSpeed_Mouse" v="0.04" />
    <prop n="LookAimVertAcc_Mouse" v="1600000.0" />
    <prop n="LookAimHorzAcc_Mouse" v="1600000.0" />
    <prop n="LookAimVertDec_Mouse" v="1600000.0" />
    <prop n="LookAimHorzDec_Mouse" v="1600000.0" />

That's all, there are a lot of other tweaks which can be done, just google for it.

Hope for a fix :)

Doesn't run for me. Better said, it opens in a window, and the screen remains black. I hear sound, but that's about it. I didn't find the decribed config files, I presume they are created later in the startup?

I assume it has to do with the open source drivers not working as expected or somesuch.

This solves the texture problem for me but the game keeps crashing after the character selection screen (when the loading menu just appears).

Not to be a downer but the only issue I've had so far is it has an incredibly long load time between load screens. In fact it sort of crashes and then uncrashes if that makes sense?

Other than that I can't complain - get job on the devs side and a huge thanks for porting this over!
