Any way to set the refresh rate to 120Hz? Not sure why the menu only allows up to 100Hz.

The developer is European and artificially limited it to that in the menu.

How did I know that video would find its way here lol... Its gone viral.

But what probably surprises me more is how many westerners know what Fist of the North Star is.

It's been awhile since this came out, I hope somebody is still tinkering with it, can't wait for a finished fix. This game needs it :D

This was working fine for me until todays patch. As of right now with this HUD mod installed I cannot start a game as it crashes to desktop.

Without the hud mod the game is unplayable unless I switch to one screen.

Anyone else have these problems?

Ok, so here is an update. the problem appears to be the file 'MenuUpgradeCharacter.xui' without that file in my "DocumentsDeadIslandoutDataMenuScr" folder the game works fine. Unfortunately I need to switch to single screen setup every time I level in order to choose my character upgrades.

I even tried ripping this file manually from the data.pak files and manually modifying the height/width values: it still crashes.

Anyone offer any assistance? Im using this mod on a 5040 x 1050 eyefinity setup.

Cheers.

Update 2: Fixed. I manually modified the file 'MenuUpgradeCharacter.xui' and set the height/width to match my desktop resolution exactly. This appears to have fixed the problem. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future to make use of this mod.

Thanks a lot for the mod its a really fun game and I would hate to have missed out on my multiscreen setup on it.

I just got the game here in Japan and did the fix and when it gets to the screen where it has the steached pixel picture on load it goes through and crashes to desktop. any ideas as to how to fix this?

[markilleruk]

Maybe you have the same problem I did? Did you try my fix?

If that fails, try removing half of the files from "DocumentsDeadIslandoutDataMenuScr" and seeing if you can start the game.

If it fails swap the files you removed with the files you left in the folder.

If that works but half of the files removed back in and see if it works.

Keep repeating this process until you find which file is causing the crash (for me it was 'MenuUpgradeCharacter.xui', but it may not be the same file for all we know)

If it works with all but one file then experiment with different screen resolution values on the lines I have highlighted



5040.000000
1050.000000



MenuUpgradeCharacter
5040.000000
1050.000000
true
MenuUpgradeCharacter
MenuUpgradeCharacter



I_Image_2
888.000000
622.000000
88.319992,45.000000,0.000000

until the game stops crashing for you.

I crash at loading screen after hitting contiue or start, if i take menu out of Data file it will load . I havent tracked down which thing under SCR is causing this....its not the MenuUpgradeCharacter.xui....sigh...i hope someone has a fix soon...

That’s the file that keeps crashing me. I tried 5760 x 1080 and it crashes and the original something x 720 crashes. I tried your 50. Ill take the40 x 1050 and crash. If I pull that file out completely I get eyefinity going but the skills page is fubar. I’ll take that but would like to figure what line is causing it. It’s a bit annoying to have to change resolutions to use your upgrade skills page. I'm still appreciative for the great guys out there that come up with all these modifications to help us get the game play we should have. Big 2 thumb’s up for the WSG guys....

The mod worked great until todays patch. For me setting my desktop resolution fixed it but I tried *TONS* of other values before I figured that out. Keep experimenting, or maybe conciser setting your resolution to 5040x1050 both on the file and in game settings to more closely match the working setup I have? Good luck!

[Jza]

Yea the fix has worked great for me up until the new patch. now it just crashes.
Pulling MenuUpgradeCharacter.xui out of the Scr folder fixes it.
But now when i level up i must switch to 1 screen to choose my powerup ><
5760X1080

[jverhey]

If you hilight any you can use the arrow keys to move it around and the description is right there in the middle

But please twesk gods give us a new file to downlosd...

[atf300]

funny thing , for me the game works but it acts like the data files arent even there . hope this gets fixed soon .

scratch that , i copied it into the wrong section, i also get crash

if rename or remove the menuupgradecharacter.xui its working . tried editing it to my resolution (6048x1080) but it didnt help.

luckily im quite far in the game so i dont level up that much , so its not so troublesome

I've managed to get past the game crashing similar to markilleruk 's method.

The caveat is you need to open up the Data3.pak from your install directory, go to DataMenuScr (The original fix probably comes from the Data0.pak)
Pull out the MenuUpgradeCharacter.xui
And then replace the numbers with your resolution.
Put it in your OutDataMenuScr

I haven't tested it fully, so there might be more to change... but at least it isn't crashing.

[atf300]

@Haios: could you please post your new file , i dont seem to have the data3.pak

[valcan_s]

@Haios: could you please post your new file , i dont seem to have the data3.pak

I have gotten the file to work thank god, I freaking love the game, Happy Halloween :)

You can again tweak the rez to what ever you want. Just drop the file into the C:Users[user name]1DocumentsDeadIslandoutdataMenuScr folder

Enjoy.

[jverhey]

Thanks man this is great. My brothers and I love this game and I really appreciate the hard work getting this to play for me. 2 big thumbs up for this from me.... :rockout :rockout :TrueWS

[javarahl]

Also works perfectly for me. Thanks!

[campeck]

Thanks you Garden & markilleruk! Was able to realize something was wrong with the game in eyefinity, and a quick search in google, some file transfers, and modifying that file got me up and running! Thank you so much!!!!
