Naz is a pre generated world, hence it knows whats going on, the RWG is random generated, so it needs to bild as it goes, load times are more, the terrain is not predetermined by the system etc etc

Since A17 RWG builds a map into the same format as Navezgane. It is all predeteremined up front, so runs the same.

 
Loving the new update.

Decided to hit a crazy giant shotgum messiah/factory poi. Have never seen that many zombies and vultures... regretted so much going there xD on the bright side i have now learnt that spears fly really far. Was going to shoot a zombie, it juked and i just watched my spear traverse the roof and fly beyond thw edge never to be seen again... how long do they stay in the ground before disappearing btw?

Also tried day 7 bloodmoon. Locked myself in a concrete poi and watched zombies desperately trying to break walls. Thought it was nothing special, then came morning and me and my buddy jumped down to dispatch of the remaining crowd. Aim with the spear, shoot only to hear barking from behind my back and my buddy shouting ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥. Turned around and got dead by a freaking zombie bear and his 3 buddies that came out of nowhere.

Some zombies in poi disappear and reappear at random :p saw 5 zombies on the rooftop at night waited till morning and they were gone, jumped the rooftop and taadaa they were there all along xD.

 
I'm getting terrible performance for some reason. It was fine in A17, but no matter what settings I try now it is really laggy and almost unplayable.

Someone mentioned turning off occlusion earlier in the thread, but it's greyed out for me on all presets and custom.

Specs are AMD 2600, 16gb ram, 1070ti and the games on an ssd. I'm on a 1440p monitor, but even setting the res to 1080p is not much better.

Also followed the instal instructions and cleaned all files and validated before playing.

 
Just a few notes.. not sure if people have commented about them.

1. During the day some zombies half run/walk.. not sure if this was meant to be. Worker zombies are usually the ones that have this going on.

2. My friends have terrible lag (compared to A17.X) and it is unplayable now when doing multiplayer. My computer is fine.

3. Zombies spawns in buildings seems more reasonable :fat:

4. You can read books even after you know the perk/skill.. this shouldnt be allowed

5. The different ore deposits dont show properly underground at the surface against the dirt.. i.e. iron ore looks like dirt but shovel clearly doesnt do damage

Guys a question, how do I level up my tools and weapons? I go to Intellect 4 and I can't find it, add to this that almost everything is in English and I only speak in Spanish, I use a translator to write and read here.

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.

 
Does the perk flurry of blows (25%speed melee) affect spears as well?

Any way to make magnum quiter? Or do i just have to carry a pillow around?

That’s peculiar. I have an i7-4790k, 1070, 32 Gb RAM, and a SSD and I’m getting 70-100 FPS at 1080p on high settings with SSAO turned off. If you haven’t tried it yet, turn off vsync and see if that helps.

If its in-line with the stray arrows that stick out of tree's after a firefight, then many days.

 
I had a weird problem, finally solved it and decided to post it here if anyone has a similar problem. When trying to open a generator bank or a battery bank I get a red error and no longer could open any container until game restart. Another Russian player had the same problem. Also I could not put any modification in clothes (armor was fine). The solution is funny: I needed to switch Windows interface language to English. Crazy!

 
All you are promoting is for TFP to go back to not doing experimentals. Experimental builds are a relatively new thing and before TFP pulled the trigger on it one of their worries was exactly what you are describing. If TFP can't even get a grace period of a few days to configure performance for the suddenly massive number of configurations that are suddenly playing then I can tell you that their response is likely to be to take away the experimental build model rather than somehow "prepare better" next time.
Preparing better would be testing different configs behind closed doors for a few months to keep the poor results private instead of letting the community who chooses to opt in try it on their potatoes and report.

Now if your response is, "I don't mind waiting for a good launch and a good version if it means they have good performance from day 1" then by all means opt out and wait until 18.2 to be your own day 1 and you will have experienced your much better launch.

Can't whine about a build that is specifically noted as being unstable. I, for one, am more than happy to take the problems so I get an early peek at the next build.

 
Maybe, its not a bug to have information. Most people look at the first perk to see what it does in general and if no mention of crafting quality then they might be confused as to where they will begin to craft better things.

My suggestion is to call the spear we can craft at start “Primitive Spear”. Make it somehow worse than the first tier wooden spear we have to perk into in order to craft. Then it will be like the bows.

LOL! Would be funny for another player to come by days later and get a free spear.

I would blame Gazz. (I don’t know that the German is the one to blame, but that’s who I would blame.)

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

 
Anyone else getting this after messing with the graphic settings in game? Fresh install etc etc for me so lol

Pics goen i guess but everything is just a flat black color/texture..what gives?
