Dead Island Zombie Game Now Available On Linux For Some (updated)

Quoting: WorMzyThe game plays really well, and it's some good, silly fun.

The only problem I have with it is the auto-equip. If you hold the pick-up key fore more than 0.1 (!!) seconds, whatever you're trying to pick up becomes your active item, and your currently active item is either dropped, or put into your inventory.

Fortunately there's a fix, but it means editing files in a .pak (zip file), which means they'll likely be overridden if there's an update and/or you verify cache integrity. Boo.
actually you dont have to edit files in .pak
you just extract the needed file out of it and change it and mark read-only

i did this with FoV settings

./Steam/SteamApps/common/Dead Island/DI/out/Data/Skills/default_levels.xml

its important the structure is correct in the ./DI/out/ folder like it was in the archive.

Quoting: GuestWell it’s obvious that "nothing forces to improve or innovate if theres no competition" is nonsense. I can write a tool and I will want to improve that tool to make my life better (and/or have fun in the process). There is no competition involved.

The other one "without competition there is monopoly" is maybe more debatable, but I’ll just say "without competition there is cooperation". That’s one possibility, anyway.
well we were talking about steam and the like. Not about your personal programs that you really want to improve for yourself. but if there is no similar tool around you, you might even not come up to some innovations for it.

i can put it in a different wording (sry english is not my native)

from the user standpoint competition is forcing to improve and innovate. i dont see whats wrong with that.

your tool to make your life better doesnt really apply for this kind of business

Quoting: GuestI don’t agree that competition is good or needed, but yes I do agree that monopolies are bad.
