I've effectively done that by rolling back to an image that didn't even have the game installed.  I suppose I could try a completely fresh install of Windows.  God knows I've done it enough times I can almost sleepwalk through it.  I just can't fathom a problem that persists across full system...

I removed all the mods.  None of them should be in that log.  I don't understand what's going on.  All I can guess it that when I copied the log I was on the wrong drive...I have manual backups of some APPDATA folders on my NAS. OK, I've deleted all my game settings and reinstalled the game yet...

Its not working, I tried to copy the pastebin link and it just says 'something went wrong, please try again'.

Overall I think I liked 20.3 the most, but 16.4 was as a close second because of intuitive and logical learn-by-doing (action skills).  The game has been dumbed down for consoles so badly that its honestly dull now.  Want recipes?  Prepare to spend the entire game raiding every mailbox, filing...

They took away learn-by-doing and gave us books, which was a huge immersion-killer.  They took away weapon parts and gave us mods, and while I would have preferred both, it was tolerable (although having more slots on higher tier equipment makes no sense).  Then we got magazines, which turned...

I recently downgraded to an older version of the game to play on a server that was running it.  When I re-upgraded to 1.0 stable (which almost every server is using) I found that I had an issue with the camera.  Any time I look around (up, down, left, right) there are lag spikes that makes it...

* Learn-by-doing: so much more immersive.  Skill books could be rather rare and used to unlock the next tier of skill.  Magazines and crafting notes would be more common and could be used to make a book - perhaps 4 notes/mags of the same skill could be use to make a skill book.   Tier one could...

Its worth it as long as you get it on sale and stick to a20.3.  20.4 is broken AF.  Unfortunately that means you'll only find a handful of MP servers still on that version.

Whenever I see options being removed, mechanics being dumbed down and features being stripped out, I always assume its for the sake of console porting.  So many good PC games that were never going to work on consoles have been crippled this way.  I've got no faith left in TFP after eight long...

Well, I can get connections between relays and battery banks. so I didn't see any reason for not being able to hook up solars too.  But what I just figured out seems even weirder, because apparently some of the solar banks were fake and I hadn't realized it.  I'd actually placed some Destroyed...

I did :)   So that might well be it.

So after digging around for a long time I finally found the info that TFP didn't bother to give us about how to use the editing tools.  I've built a small prefab base in the POI editor and I have some solar banks on top with battery banks inside the base.  Whenever I try to connect the two just...

Personally I think that repair kits should have tiers, with the higher tier ones requiring rarer ingredients but being able to repair anything of their own tier or lower.  I'd support upgrading items as well but with durability lost each time.  I think I saw this in another game years ago.

Zombies now seem to prioritize windows over doors of equal strength.  It provides an easy exploit by having two layers of wall with the inner one being weaker than the outside one but with the window not covered by outer layer - you still need a barrier to keep them from actually hitting the...

I've been watching some tutorials on how to use the world editor.  When I have an area selected the G key (aka "drop from toolbelt") works fine, but SHIFT-G does nothing (yes, both my shift keys are working).  Any thoughts on why this might be?
