Epic Account is not required

[andrew]

Hello, I got the response from Dead Island 2 Support:

Thank you for contacting Dead Island 2 Support.

We understand your concern regarding the requirement for an Epic Games Account for the Steam version of the game. We want to clarify that the game will not require you to connect to a personal Epic Games account to play single-player or co-op with other Steam players.

Thank you.

[[42] Primus Zod]

Thanks.

[PR3DAT0R ✔]

Ha, finally. Thank you

[aBoyCalleDJ]

Thank you mate.

[Darth Vader]

Thank god. Also, thank you bro!

[Spatzl]

And what about public matchmaking? Isn't the epic account necessary there too?

someone is lying

[Kakella_6630]

Thx.

[Hexton]

Thanks for the clarification

[Lachdamon XD]

Store page says otherwise

We will know when the game is playable.

Which is most likely for Cross-play with Players that have the Game on Epic Fail.

[Purple Sauce]

My best guess is that you can just leave crossplay off then and you won't have to deal with it. Chances are it's needed for crossplay only, just leave it off.

What if you delete the EOS dll? Will the game still be playable in single player or still allow you to play with other Steam users?

Or will it be like Dying Light 2. Where the game will bluntly refuse to even show up the main menu the very moment EOS is denied.


Not that this bothers me too much, but I know it seriously bothers some.

Any chance you could ask them about Denuvo?
