Dead Island 2 is a survival horror first-person shooter set in a zombie apocalypse in Los Angeles. Players explore an open world, gathering resources, interacting with survivors, and battling swarms of zombies in fast-paced combat. Set fifteen years after the events of Dead Island: Riptide, the game features a new cast of characters and narrative, while maintaining the series’ signature blend of brutal melee action and immersive environments.
Roughly fifteen years after the original outbreak, a new and far more virulent zombie plague erupts, forcing the US military to seal off the entire city of Los Angeles under a strict quarantine. As the city is locked down, six desperate individuals, later known as Slayers, scramble aboard one of the final evacuation flights out. But when an infected passenger turns mid-flight, the military shoots the plane down over the city. The Slayers narrowly survive the crash, only to be bitten while trying to save other survivors. Making their way to the mansion of actress Emma Jaunt, who reluctantly takes them in despite their infection, the group makes a startling discovery: they are immune to the virus. Now trapped in a zombie-ravaged Los Angeles, the immune Slayers set out to find a way to escape.

- X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2, delete the EpicOnlineServices folder - Open the "DeadIsland.ini" file change "NoOperation=0" to "NoOperation=1" F you epic games :-)
BEFORE YOU LAUNCH Go to -> "X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2" and delete the EpicOnlineServices folder. Then open the "DeadIsland.ini" file in notepad and modify the "NoOperation=0" to "NoOperation=1" This will help you avoid running Epic's malware that pulls data about you. Although when you launch the game it will still bootstrap run EpicOnlineServices so here's a negative review. If you run Netlimiter or such you can block the network traffic. So annoying.
Make sure the Epic Store program is uninstalled then do this: Before launching the game for the first time, go there -> "C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2" and delete the EpicGameLauncher folder. Then open the "DeadIsland.ini" file in notepad and modify the "NoOperation=0" to "NoOperation=1" If the epic game launcher is already installed on your computer, uninstall it before doing the steps above. Play the game without that bloatware = ez (it will still try to connect the accounts every time you launch the game - just press CANCEL) But for going through loops and forcing us to install software that the developer SPECIFICALLY said that WON'T be necessary to play, I give you thumbs down.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: I see the advice online that you can stop Epic's Online Service from running, using these steps: Go to X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2\ Delete the EpicOnlineServices folder Open the "DeadIsland.ini" file change "NoOperation=0" to "NoOperation=1" Go to X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\ Delete the EOS folder ...BUT while this does get rid of MOST of the Epic connectivity, I want you all to know that the main executable will still spawn an Epic bootstrapper AFTER you close the game! Yes, the developers put in a sneaky little Hail Mary for Epic to continue to get their data. The executable file X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2\deadisland.exe will spawn the Epic Online Services Bootstrapper automatically shortly after you exit the game... Even after you delete the EpicOnlineServices folder, it
The game is good, but why must I connect to Epic Games? I bought the game on Steam, not Epic Games.
