Won't finish connecting?

[‡ Torro ‡]

Hi, I just installed it, have tried restarting the comp a few times. It let me sign in and create an account for epic, and it'll connect to it to where the pop up in the right corner will say Im connected, but it won't finish connecting to let me play the game. There something else I can do to play?

Don't link your account to Epic. It has been broken for a while now, and the devs never fixed it. There are two fixes:

To fix:
1. Right click on Dead Island 2 in your steam library, and go to "Browse Local Files"
(Or manually navigate to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2)
2. Open DeadIsland.ini in a text editor of your choice.
3. Change NoOperation=0 to NoOperation=1
4. Save the file and close it
5. Start up Dead Island 2 again. It will give you an error message about the game not starting properly, but just hit ENTER to get past it and you can play normally again.

If that doesn't work:
1. Go to Epic Games website
2. Unlink your steam account
3. Right click on Dead Island 2 in your library, and verify integrity of game files
4. After it is done, relaunch Dead Island 2
5. DO NOT LINK YOUR EPIC ACCOUNT. It should work from now on.
