I think one MF was about 8K maps for radeon video cards. Try 4K. Or play a pregenerated map.

A MF would have been fixed... i think?

Ok, read the release notes... may generate comb like area...

My world just collapsed...

Pathing Exploit

I've just finished watching jawoodle exploiting the pathing AI to keep zombies in an infinite loop again, like hamsters on a wheel. @faatal, couldn't you just increase the cost of a point in a path whenever a zombie starts falling? As zombies fall and paths get recomputed, they'd start picking alternatives to that path, the way I think of it.

from streamers notes - https://7daystodie.com/a18-official-release-notes/

Known Issues

Linux machines with 8 GB RAM may crash on generating RWG worlds

Linux machines with 8 GB RAM may crash when loading into RWG games

Radeon cards may generate comb like areas in RWG worlds

Client molotov flames may disappear a second early

Some road issues in RWG

Reading books can be heard by other players

Snake’s animal tracker icon is wrong

Sometimes terrain appears grey changing any video option setting will correct this.

Occasionally when generating a new random gen world textures can be blurry. Restarting the game will fix this.

When you encounter massive FPS drops, please try setting texture streaming to “ON”

@fatal I saw one of the streamer that was testing the zombie AI, it was targeting a weak block instead of going straight for the streamer (who put a steel block in between them), is this intended or the streamer get unlucky and got a rng "smart" zombie?

Hard to say. There is a good amount of variation and randomness in AI behavior. Typically if you put an obstacle between you and the AI, they should go around or smash on something that is weak to get to you.

 
well, I was just playing a17 with around 50 FPS, now A18 with same settings is 4 FPS and all stutters......hoping it is some user error.......

Game uses much, much more VRAM now - so if you have a 4GB GPU or less - you might need to drop it down to medium textures.

 
*a big applause from all of us*
Thank you.

What's the recommendation for the RWG players for A18? Use a pregen map or rolllll the dice?
Click to expand...
Generation should be fine on Nvidia cards for sure, but pregen01 and 02 seem nice to me if you just want to dive in those are great choices.
