Dead-Island LAN tutorial


Ghost signing in,
Sorry I had technical problems with TheStranger ("Haha, very funny" -__- TS.) , anyways I am going to do a tutorial on how to LAN Dead-Island.
Dead-Island is one of the best games to LAN, in my opinion, cause what’s not fun about killing a proper zombie with your friends.
Requirements: I assume that you have the Dead-Island from skidrow.
                     That you have a working internet connection, it can be slow.
  
Step1: Download and unzip http://www.2shared.com/file/TNHogMzH/dead_island_update_7_of_23_nov.html  then overwrite it into your  Dead-Island Program Files.

Step2: Download and install Steam.

Step:3 Download SmartSteam and unzip it to your Steam folder in program files.

Step4: Add the Dead-Island.exe to a non-Steam game.

Step5: Make sure your LAN connection is working.

Step6: Then enter game and get past act 1 ( That is when you receive your first mission.)

Step7: When you start the game make sure public slots is set to 3 and the connection type is LAN.

Step8: In game press Esc and go to Game lobby which will not be greyed out because you applied the patch. Then join the game, you both have to be in the same Act.

This should work, if it does not just reply to this.
Ghost,

    Make sure you have the latest version/patch because I know the first patch doesn't let you do it. If you can send me all the specs of your Dead Island and PC's.

    Can we play via ad-hoc network using this method?

    In what regard? Hamachi and tungle are a type of ad-hoc network, we haven't done a Hamachi tutorial but there are a few showing how to play DI via Hamachi. Hope this helps :)

    Sorry for the ambiguity. I mean the "Set up a wireless ad hoc network" option provided by Windows

    I haven't tried it but I really don't think so, if you can it would be quite a lot easier using Hamachi or Tungle cause they use the same principal and they were made for that purpose :P
