Has anyone tried the new Dead Island with Eyefinity?

Does the old fix still work or is the game currently busted?

Thanks!

Yep, I want Eyefinity too

I'm still waiting for it to unlock but afaik:

1) Eyefinity/surround resolutions do work, i.e. you can run the game etc

2) There's already a version of dead island helper for riptide that you can fix the fov for a better widescreen experience : http://steamcommunity.com/app/216250/discussions/0/828937261940292800/

3) The thing that seems to be broken is the HUD. As there are new elements in the HUD I don't think that the old set of fixed HUD files will work, however as the engine is the same, one might use the same technique on the new HUD files. I don't know if that is correct so don't take me at my word.

I'm going to have a go (if I can figure out how the original fix was done).

4) The best way to get this done faster is to moan on the steam forums in:
a- The official issue thread (watched by deep silver people) : http://steamcommunity.com/app/216250/discussions/0/828936719123525994/
b - Create a new threads and complain

I really, really want an eyefinity fix for this game

EDIT:

The folder structure is different in riptide. There is no menu folder in
C:\Users\your_user_name\Documents\DeadIsland\out\Data

I can't immediately see how to apply the old fix

I signed up just to say I tried it and it is unplayable. I played the first one and it worked well with some tweaks. Riptide is unplayable 1920x1200x3. It also refuses to use more then 50% of one of my two cards. Add that to the fact that I haven't been able to get multiplayer to work and I say stay very very far away from this POS.

Greetings survivors.

This is an adaptation of the menu and hud, for proper display on Widescreen (Eyefinity/Surround).
It is intended for any combination of 3 monitors in Landscape.


To install is easy.
Come to "..\Documents\Riptide\out\Data\" and we dump file contents inside and this is it.
We can play.

P.D: Sorry for my bad English.

Hello I extracted your files and placed them in the recommended folder but unfortunately the HUD is still massively distorted. Can you tell me if I placed the files in the right place?

Thanks for your help

I figured it out. The entire menu folder must be placed inside the directory, not the individual files. Which makes a lot of sense in retrospect...

Thanks for your effort, now I can enjoy the game

wtf i feel like an idiot its even says its very easy still no success in fact no visible change from putting the menu folder into the my docs/Riptide/out/Data/ folder so ...
maybe too dumb for eyefin lol

anybody see what im doing wrong ?

Here, the guide for dummies.

1) find the folder "..\Documents\Riptide\out\Data\"
2) Extract the zip inside, preserving the folder structure.
3) initiating Dead Island Riptide on your Steam.

The file structure should be:


And that's all... It does not work?

jovechiere many thanks for the fix!

Hey,

Thanks very much for the patch, it's a lot better. All the menus work great apart from the quests menu.

All the other menus work fine. I'm running at 5760*1200 (3*1920*1200)

Here's a screen shot of what I mean:



The rest of it works great, thanks so much for creating the patch
