I often play the older alphas just for fun and something slightly different. The one mod I'd like to apply is the backpack size, to save a lot of back'n'forthing with loot. I have mods done by others from A13 on, but not for previous alphas. I've followed THIS tutorial, but was unable to find...

Yeah, I suffered a sneak attack by two wolves (two separate incidents) on day 1 and two in my new game. But that's pretty realistic, isn't it? I mean, otherwise wolves would catch didly-squat, if the prey always knew they were around. They are scavengers, yes, but they hunt in packs, too - very...

My biggest beef so far with A17 - really don't like the "hit to collect" mechanism - seems a real retrograde step to me.

In my opinion, the game could have been released, with major bugs fixed and an end goal, at around the A11 point. Then A13-16 could have made up a DLC expansion and A17 on would be a completely new game, as it has changed so much. I'm currently at 2,670 hours (since A8) but was up to 2,500...

This was what was mostly on my mind as I was gathering stuff and initially avoiding zeds. I was waiting for some terminal hit that never came. I think it looks a lot better, with the exception of one type of tree that looks a bit naff in the middle-distance. The new tactic seems to be, after...

I've been avoiding A17 since it was released in experimental due to the large number of "WTF?!" style comments. I've been playing A9 - brought back some great memories. But then I remembered a previous release that we had - think it was A11 - when there were also a huge amount of moans...

Yeah, that's logical, thanks - and I'd just like to really thank you again for pointing this out to us - it has enabled me to download an old version of another EA game that has gone in a direction I really don't like - can't tell you how pleased I am!

Just using this now, thanks. Will allow me to play my most favoured versions - a8 and a11.0. Just to be sure - I have to clear the registry each time I wish to play a different version? Makes sense, I suppose. I guess I'd have to find the other saved bits and delete them, too. Seem to remember...

Alpha 15. PS - not because I consider A16 no good at all - far from it, just because I like going up through the alphas from 8 to 16 over several months, and I'm currently on 15 :)

For different reasons, I'd like to see the option to increase the FoV up to 120° The reason for this is VR. I've tried multiple times over recent years, to get the game playing well in VR and each time I was thwarted only by the limited FoV. Even changed in the registry, it reverted to the...

I'm not going to try A17e - I will give it a quick go when it gets released, maybe wait for the first couple of bug fixing patches, but I can almost guarantee one thing - I'll then go back to earlier alphas, and I just wanted to make the point that it's become clear to me over recent months that...

Seems like the perfect recce tool to me.

I don't think leaving a gap was an exploit - seems a perfect feasible way of protecting base entry, based on the portrayal of zeds in pretty much all films etc up to now. It's just logical - humans can jump, zeds can't. To me, allowing them to jump makes it more unbelievable than not. We'll...

That was one of my favourite alphas - in fact I had it installed again recently. The nice thing about it was, if you started whacking the ore for too long, some quite impressive hordes would show up. In fact, it was nice when just hacking at boulders with a stone axe would bring a horde within...

Seem to be a lot of people with too much time on their hands...
