After my time in the Corps, I worked in software development as both a developer and QA analyst, collectively for a decade.. I know it pretty well.

Appreciate the honestly MM.

Ah gotcha. I guess we are forced to wait for the next patch which is hopefully before 18.2. All the hype and waiting was a huge letdown.

This is where technology research comes in. Keeping up to date with the tech that you're using and issues with it is key to efficient software development. Also, choosing to go with an unknown is also a possible gamble. Guess we will see what the culprit is, hopefully sooner rather than later.

But in this case, the problem wasn't "potato" equipment. - - - Updated - - - This. This times a million. - - - Updated - - - What? Why are we talking about A17.2? I'm sorry but I have no idea what you mean.

One can reasonably wonder why such game-killing bugs got this far into development though. :miserable:

Welcome to the party. Unfortunately you're not alone. In the meantime, you could try playing in windowed mode, and making sure your desktop resolution matches the game's... All bandaids though.

> Implying that the failures were the result of us having "potatoes"? Nice.

Well this alpha is highly disappointing. How all these issues could get so far is a tad worrisome... :upset:

Nailed it! Couldn't agree more. I love most of the new systems and most of the mechanics, but the game is no closer to having an identity than it was before. More survival horror, less cheesy filler.

As always, be prepared for the endless hordes (see what I did there?) proclaiming this game is "tower defense!" and "needs to balance x with y". Unfortunately, it seems that the focus was never / will never be on a true survival game, but a quasi-tower defense game with random survival aspects...

I don't understand it. The first day was fine - I was cutting trees, digging, etc. and my hunger was at a decent place. But looting on day 2 brought hunger from 65% to 20-something really fast and would not raise with anything I could find. I ended up logging off to come here and see what's up.

Yeah, the firearms seem really nerfed. Even the most gun-illiterate person should blow a zombie's head clean off with the sawed-off + buckshot +headshot at 1ft. Very underwhelming after the initial "FINALLY, I found a shotgun and some ammo, I'm OK!".

Kinda quick post before bed, but just wondering if I'm the only one who felt hunger was way off... In 10 minutes IRL, I ate my starting baked beans, a can of peaches, 2 raw eggs (I was STARVING! Didn't get sickness), and a can of chicken and I was getting the angry, red "FEEEED ME" icon and...

A18 will be VR. :distrust:
