Hm... if reduce max number of players for typical 4 players would be possible to make  124 limit of zombie? 🤔
Could be too many. I typically play with 5 people total, I have max zombies around 80 or 90. 

Regular times it is fine, horde nights are the big problem. Going past 24 per wave is a slide show. 12 to 16 seems to run fine.
64GB of ram.

 
Considering hatch/door/... placement:

is there a chance we can have something like this one day? (open state/hinge side indicated by semi-translucent half way open "ghost shape" )

Or just show it in only that (half) open state when rotating the block, would do the same job.

The arrow we have now does still tend to confuse me sometimes because it leaves room for misinterpretation.

It just points into a direction, but you still have to figure out what that direction means.

Swings into that direction? Player comes from the pointed direction? Next trader that way? 🤡

Yes, of course, you get the hang of it...it's just that the other suggestion would be so much more of an instantly conclusive way to tell even a first time player how to set it correctly...or otherwise said: Is there anybody who wanted to place a hatch and immediately knew by the arrow "oh nice, it's of course that way" without trial and error?

...and - at least seems to be - relatively easy to add something like that?

 
So, third Experimental came out today, since the last Stable. Does this mean we'll be getting another A21 Stable soon?
Are there patch notes for the experimental builds? What's the difference between them and the current stable version?

 
Developers! hey! I have few issues! one of which is dedicated server installed via steam on Linux won't launch, for some reason it tries to execute .bat file. So one needs to manually navigate in to the server folder and launch .sh file. This Bug persisted for a long time now, please, fix if possible. Also, Vulkan version no longer launcher (Alpha 21.2) I used to play on Vulkan on A20, is this a linux issue? or the game needs fixing? I am on latest Ubuntu now, using mesa 23.2.1 is it possible that it causes the issue? How can I check?

Love the game!!!

Wrong place. Please post in "General Support" and read the post that tells you how to post. Especially how to include the log file. And include more details, for example how do you start the dedicated server and when does it tell you it wants to start a .bat file

Generally I have installed brand new ubuntu 23.10 on my laptop and have noticed problems with applications, for example the newest inkscape has lots of problems with getting libraries of the correct version on 23.10. It would not surprise me if 7d2d has problems finding libraries as well. I would guess LTS would be the better bet at the moment
