That's the pre-log, right?
That hotfix isnt released yet, is it?

Cuz I died today to freaking bug and all my nice stuff is gone.
Full blood, get hit by a Z twice and get the feint symbol thing and get eaten. From full health down to 0.

Already released, and at each bites from a Z you can (by growing % order): get sick, pass out, break yo bone, bleed, get damaged.


Even though it seems bleeding is now almost a certainty at the first bite, and breaking bones are a major probability.

In like 20+ bites I bled 10 times, fractured bones 3 times, fainted 2 times. Bit high but maybe just unlucky (even though my friend had the same occurence).

How do you guys feel about this, for the next hotfix:

"Infected hear perfectly through objects (noise reduced by 50% through an object)"

So a line-of-sight check is done before agro'ing audibility - and if cut by terrain/object the power of the sound is reduced by 50%

seems win

Pending Update: Build 1.7.2
Target date is Monday. Backup is for Saturday during offpeak time.

The update will include some new functionality. Currently, it includes some leftover fixes from the end of 1.7.1

But I will be updating the progress here. 1.7.1.5 will remain all weekend, unless something serious happens.

This is the completed changelog so far:

Changelog:
* [FIXED] Infected hear perfectly through objects (noise reduced by 50% through an object)
* [FIXED] Animal bodies despawn way too fast (now despawn automatically after 2 minutes)
* [FIXED] Corrupted update data causes people to spawn in debug forest (now will not save corrupted position data)
* [FIXED] States where animal might stop walking around (now should walk around more)
* [FIXED] Animal AI routines consuming large amounts of FPS (now in line with Infected AI routines, reduced FPS usage)
* [NEW] Player Syncing system replaced (increased performance and ammo quantity tracking)
* [FIXED] Error reports are almost invisible (has now been fixed)

[Xant]

* [NEW] Player Syncing system replaced (increased performance and ammo quantity tracking)

I hope this means desync issues will be gone finally

I hope it means using the same magazine over 9000 times is gone.

You mean the convert clip bug/exploit?

[Xant]

It should already be gone with the current .5 hotfix.

Wonder why there are even guns in the game atm.
Trained like 15-20 Zs in Elektro...
...ran to a house with 1 entrance, stood in the doorway and kept spamming the hatchet. Killed them all in like 2 minutes and didnt lose any blood at all.

No point in playing it atm.

[Beauchamp]

i'm afraid that under armaII engine zombies will never work well.

I had fun before he started to fuck-patch everything. Now there isnt even a point in sneaking past Zs...

You should try the game again, last update made sneaking largely feasable again 


The number of bar showing visual & audio detection didnt change, but their power did: they no longer aggro past 200+ meters even when you run in broad daylight, and crouch running is a sound sneaking way again (except for close encounter ofc).
