All Patch Notes for Dead Island 2 Update Patch #5
The latest Dead Island 2 patch contains several tweaks to stability, not that I’ve had the game crash on me, but ironing out bugs is never wrong. Especially then you look at the major bug that this patch fixes, which is a hard lock in the Haus expansion. That means that, if you ran into that issue, you could find yourself unable to continue the game, trapped in the mansion of doom.
Developer Dambuster Studios has also fixed an achievement that wasn’t unlocking, something that could be infuriating if you’re an achievement completist. You can find the patch notes below, as posted by the developer, explaining what else the patch does.
