    PC Alpha 21 Dev Diary

    You can select vulkan in the launcher. For older AMD cards it may help. Your machine is rather dated at this point. GPU was launched 6 years ago and the CPU was launched 5 years ago. I am not surprised you are having performance issues. This game tends to chase the latest hardware. Consider...

    PC Alpha 21 Dev Diary

    The absolute best feature of the game is the fun pimps logo at startup. Fight me. The game runs great for me, but admittedly I have very high end hardware (RTX 4090, Ryzen 7950X, 64 gb RAM, 4 TB PCIE Gen4 SSD) It appears to have far fewer freezes overall vs. Alpha 20. Have you tried using...

    Windows 11 - Game not running under Steam

    Tried to launch the game tonight, received a bizarre error about the game not running under Steam (The Steam client is not running or no connection possible). Shift tab does not open steam UI. EAC claims a steam file was corrupt (steamclient64.dll). I checked a SHA256 hash against this file and...

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    Had an interesting scenario pop up yesterday. Broke into the back door of a POI. 4 zombies woke up. I slowly started backing up, and a zombie (construction worker) jumped over me and landed in front of the door, preventing me from escaping. 2 more zombies jumped as I swung my club at them. This...

    It would be nice if item descriptions all mentioned the amount and type of material an item scraps to.

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    I loaded up a save from the previous build and there was a bear right outside my base! Scared me to death. I imagine that a proper animal spawn would involve animals spawning aware from cities/towns and away from noise (like your base, though if you have that campfire going, I could definitely...

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    In an SP game I've played as well as a local MP game (non-dedicated, not setting up a dedi for exp) I've encountered quite a few animals. The MP game was in Navezgane and the SP game was on Random gen. In both games animals were present, but not common. It's enough that I can keep a small amount...

    How often did you leave your comfort zone? It might be a spawn issue as well. I frequently travel to new areas since my respawn rate is set to 30 days.

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    The game will never be perfect for most people. I've over 2,500 hours in at this point (at least), I've gotten my money's worth, and I still play. A thought I had the other day was that Zombies could use the dye system for their clothing. That would add some variation to the clothes. I'm sure...

    Not every game needs to be 100% moddable from start to finish. A lot of games aren't. Personally, I'd rather see a sequel that is built with mods and multiplayer in mind.

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    When Madmole said they were gearing up for gold, I doubted. After playing Alpha 19 for some time, I've become a believer. This game feels something like 90% done. Outside of bug fixes, the only areas I see that need improvement are Random Gen, the music system, and (maybe) storyline related...

    Dynamic music is much improved. Solid for an 'experimental' build.
