Dead Nation Patch: Do Not Update

It appears that the patch for Dead Nation that went live last night has a few problems. The following has been posted by Housemarque on the Dead Nation Facebook page:

We are investigating a possible save game problem which occurs after patch v1.06 which was released last night. We have received reports that in some cases the patch resets the campaign progress. In the meantime please do not update if you are worried about losing your campaign progress.

This might be a problem if you have PS+ as by the time you get home Dead Nation may have patched itself.

They need to just remove the patch so no one else could download it.

waltyftm4593d ago

Well said, was going to have a game of co-op today on this, but Red dead has bears to be killed.

lorianguy4593d ago

Exactly. It's not hard to do, is it Sony?

DarkTower8054593d ago

Seems pretty obvious right? What's up with the patch though. I wasn't aware of any issues to begin with.

KwietStorm_BLM4593d ago

It's likely for the DLC coming next week.

KwietStorm_BLM4593d ago

Well I hope my system didn't auto download. I completed the game a while back though, so this shouldn't matter, right? Does the coming DLC have any ties to anything you already completed?

Kleptic4593d ago

well if it did, you can still delete the patch out the game data section of the xmb...it might not corrupt your save data until you actually try to load the game...

either way, that wouldn't hurt anything...but may not save your save file...

KwietStorm_BLM4593d ago

Yea I was thinking that, but also since I already have a save file uploaded to online storage, I should be good either way. I could just delete the broken file and download the good one.

Like: PS+
Don't Like: Auto-Update
Love: Cloud Save Storage

LoneWanderer094593d ago

Hopefully mine did not auto-download since am about to finish Grim Mode

The VR version of Stardust is an incredible experience, even for those that get VR sickness, the game gives you the feeling of floating in the vastness of space, but the motion sickness is removed, its colorful, flashy, and amazing to play

IBD Podcast #13 - Housemarque and mastering the twin-stick shooter

Housemarque is famed for its downloadable console games including Super Stardust, Dead Nation, Alienation, PS4 launch title Resogun and now Nex Machina. The veteran Finnish developer has made a name for itself crafting, precise, polished, technically accomplished and visually striking titles in publishing partnership with Sony.

With its latest title, Nex Machina, launching for both PS4 and PC, Housemarque is taking its first step into self-publishing. Working in collaboration with pioneering developer Eugene Jarvis, who created arcade classics such as Defender, Robotron: 2084 and Smash TV, Nex Machina represents both a refinement and evolution of Housemarque's design principles, as well as an opportunity for the developer to directly benefit from establishing and retaining its own IP.

Here, Housemarque CEO Ilari Kuittinen and head of publishing Mikael Haveri discuss how the decision to self-publish has led to greater autonomy, a collaboration with Eugene Jarvis and how a game titled "Death Machine" could mean a new lease of life for the company.
