Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide Performance Optimization and Fixes

Dead Island Optimization

I have serious power rig, using GTX 780 Ti and in the past ten years I've only had issues with two badly optimized games. Borderlands 2 and Dead Island. While Borderlands 2 gives you options to fix the problems, Dead Island hides those options. So, here is a rather detailed guide on how to get things done.

First you need to go into your game folder. Your exact path will vary, I keep my games on tertiary drive in Games folder, so in my case it would be E:\Games\Dead Island.

You need to go to DI subfolder in your game folder. Copy Data0.pak. Rename copy extension to .rar instead of .pak. Extract it. In it you will see data folder. Copy entire data folder  into Out subfolder in DI subfolder of your game directory. Once thats done you can change everything you need to to make this game run much smoother on your machine.

I found the fix, so sharing.
