Prerequisites
Step
Screenshot
1.) If you are using a PS4 conrtoller, you have to use the DS4Windows Program.[github.com]
2.) Download the latest Nucleus Coop Program[github.com] to play split-screen. (OPTIONAL: Use the 7zip[www.7-zip.org] program to extract, if needed.)
[/td]
3.) Extract and place the Nucleus Coop files you downloaded in a new folder. (Name that folder anything. I named mine “Nucleus Coop”.)
4.) Place the folder you created into C:/Program File (x86).
5.) Make sure Dead Island Definitive Edition is located on the same hard drive as the “Nucleus Coop” folder (in this example, it is C:/). If not, put them on the same hard drive. But do not put the “Nucleus Coop” folder into your Dead Island Definitive Edition directory.
6.) Right click on the program, “NucleusCoop.exe”, go to properties, go to the “compatibility” section at the top, check the box marked “Run this program as an administrator”.
How to
Step
Screenshot
1.) Do the prerequisites.
2.) Start “NucleusCoop.exe”.
3.) Click on the “Download Game Scripts” button in the bottom left.
4.) Search for “Dead Island”. Find “Dead Island: Definitive Edition”. Click on it, then click “Download”.
5.) It will finish, then pop up with a dialogue. Click yes, then find your Halo executable located in “your game directory”/DIDE.exe. (You can find “your game directory” by right clicking on the game, then going to manage, then click on browse local files.)
6.) Click on the top middle icon called “Game”, then click on “Open Game Script”, then press “ctrl+F”, type in and find “var”, replace “ var savePath = Context.EnvironmentPlayer + Context.UserProfileConfigPath + “\video.scr”;” with “ var savePath = Context.GetFolder(Nucleus.Folder.Documents) + “\DeadIslandDE\out\settings\video.scr”;“
7.) Set up your controllers by clicking on the small box below the keyboard icon. Drag your controllers into your set up configuration. If you have a multi-monitor setup, you can also setup each screen for split-screen here!
8.) Hit the right arrow button in the top right, below “Mod version”, then the “Play” button.
9.) Ingame, go to Online, change to LAN, and go to Controls, change controller from keyboard to controller.
10.) Lastly, start a game, and join each other’s game like you would any multiplayer game.
11.) (OPTIONAL STEP: This will reduce startup time) Click on the top middle icon called “Game”, then click on “Open Game Script”, then press “ctrl+F”, type in and find “30”, change 30 to 3, and save and exit.
