- If you have installed mods or edited the .xml for characters, all clients need the same mods in order to play.
It should also be noted that challenges are global, so if you are close to killing for instance 1 million zombies with one characters, and you play co-op with another and hit one million total kills, this character will gain all the XP from completing the challenge - Steam and Mac App Store players cannot play together.[1]

Issues fixed
- You can find various fixes in the FAQ on the Steam Community Discussions page for Dead Island.
- If you don't want to manually apply some of these tweaks check out tools section at end of the page.
Long Load Times
Some users are experiencing ridiculously long load times when doing things like loading the menu, game, etc. It can literally take over 5–10 minutes for some people. Oddly enough, this may relate to error logging that is done by the game.

Loud Distorted Audio
Dead Island has a compatibility problem with 7.1 output devices, this includes Logitech USB headsets (G35, G930) and 7.1 sound devices that use 3.5 mm analog connections. This issue is typically immediately recognizable when reaching the title screen and hearing a loud, frightening, distorted noise; this issue also carries over into the gameplay. This issue was present in Dead Island: Riptide, but was corrected by Techland. Techland has yet to correct the issue with the first Dead Island game. The definitive solution is to set your device to anything below 7.1 but other options exist that may help.

This will fix the game's sound partly, because static might still occur however most of the problem is over.
If this fix does not work, there is an alternative solution to static and crackling problems.

It is recommended that you backup the Audio.scr
file before doing this, though if you don't you can always just delete the file and the game will create a new one.
