Hey guys,

I just bought DEAD island of steam, but when i apply the fix which i got from this site, it crashes on loading screen, after i have chosen a character. When i play in eyefinity without fix, the HUD is stretched!

How can i get my eyefinity working?

Greetings,

ChiB

Which fix did you apply?

after using the fix go into your C:\Users\*USERNAME*\Documents\DeadIsland\out\Data\Menu\Scr folder and open the file called MenuUpgradeCharacter.xui then change all resolution mentions from 3840x720 to whatever your accuall rez is.

a patch that came out after the fix broke it. go to C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\DeadIsland\out\Data\Menu\Scr and open MenuUpgradeCharacter.xui, change the resolution width and height references from 3840 x 720 to whatever is appropriate for your setup. gg glhf

I did that but the game still keeps crashing if I load my savegame or start a new game. I found only two spots on the very beginning of that file that I changed to 5040x1050.

Same problem here @ 3840x1024 already changed all the values "720" with "1024".
Problem still persist....

EDIT:
Mr. and Ms. here it is the solution:

Thank you Thebeers, good find! You mean that new file to download there or something else of the tons of stuff that is mentioned there? I took that new file and changed those two value as with the original fix to 5040x1050.

Now the game does not crash anymore and works quite fine but the Radar/Minimap thingy is located almost right to the middle of the center of my center Screen (and that Stamina-bar also). Does anybody know how or where to tweak that? Crosshair could use some work too.

EDIT:

OK, I found out the necesseray tweaks needed do be made inside "HUD.xui" and adjusted the following values for 5040x1050 so it will look like in the 2nd Screen (which is displayed first...).







However you will notice that the objects which should be located inside the radar are floating around it but that doesn´t look to game-breaking. Could be fixed as well but I have no idea how that element might be called in that file. Guess these are not the only elements that might need some work, just those that came to my attention within 30 seconds.
