There are only two tiers of Buried Supplies, as far as I know. Tier 1 Buried Supplies have a very high chance to give you a food/drink/seed schematic (duplicates of ones you know may occur), a super food/drink, and some canned food. I found that Tier 2 schematics (unless I'm having rotten luck) are worse; the most recent one, I only got a Tier 1 cloth hood from it. Perhaps you're onto Tier 2 Buried Supplies?
I don't know how and what you are fixing here, so I might be wrong. It is good to get more FPS, but what I see from my 3 computer test. all are running Latest Windows 10 Pro, but 2 are running latest nvidia 26.xxx version, and one is using nvidia 23.xx version (from 2018). The one with old driver is working with Shader streaming, but one with latest driver didn't works with shader. I don't know how I get that version installed now to test. If there is any log I can send please tell me I will share log as well.
sharing this information just for debugging purpose.

The whole issue with the hardware specific performance problems makes me think of 7DtD to offer some kind of early graphics-test playground build.
You know, either a rolling demo (flyby of terrain and POIs). Or a simple level that does not allow full gameplay, but records performance statistics.
This way you can push out changes with shaders, assets and occlusion culling early, without making people get mad that expect a full playable game version.
"Test Sandbox" or so.
The easiest is probably to cut out any playerinput, and have a predetermined path flying the camera around the world.
There would be still a lot of people trying that out, wanting to see new graphical features, ad report any issues that crop up.
(Even in a well formated text listing the performance and hardware, that can be copied)

This may not apply to your card but check this out. https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-012#faq-Anisotropic-FilteringIs there an ingame command to disable AF ?With my Radeon there seems to be no option in the graphic card itself

Hey Joel
Previously in this thread you mentioned you were looking at redoing the food stamina situation in A19 because a lot of people found it confusing. Well, I just came across something pretty interesting that supports the idea that stamina and food should be decoupled.
Being a health nut, you might already know this, but fasting increases norephinphrine, so you actually get more energy as you fast.
Here's my source. It is a lecture from Dr Jason Fung. If you watch from about 1:02:00, he covers this in detail.
So with the current system (that you mentioned the other guy designed), as your food levels drop, so does your energy (represented by the stamina bar). This is the exact opposite of what actually happens. I know we're not trying to make a real life simulator, but I figured you would appreciate this given your interest in health and hormones.

Survived our first BM, that was scary fun!
One thing I noticed with animations, while electrocuting and stunning happen together.
They stumble away a bit from being stunned by an allies hammer, then if I electrocute them, or if they have recently been electricuted, they snap back to coordinates I electrocuted them at and vice versa. So we end up attacking nothing, getting hit, and missing our hits because the zombie is snapping all over the place.
I'll try to get a good video later to show you what I mean. Not sure if I should submit as a bug or not? I guess it could be tweaked where the animations are happing at once.
For now I just back up and wait out the animations, but it would be very sweet to be able to keep beating up on the zombie.

Hmm, not sure that I understood you correctly. Do you mean you cannot invest in intellect, but can invest in other attributes? Intellect is not locked for me from the start.
Or your problem you cannot invest in Turret Syndrome? The first rank there unlocks at intellect 6.

Small dumb thing I noticed, when you put dye into knuckles it only paints the one in the right hand.

Compliments to the level designers, and especially the SM HQ. Quite a few surprises, but was a nice dungeon with good balance between risk and reward and no over-doing the fake floor. Just enough to keep the doubt.
Only thing I can say on this is, there is now definitely a stronger appeal from me for the zipline. Standing on that last top most platform, and I can see my bikie down there as a few pixels... I could think of nothing else.

As someone who gets a lot of error reports, "doesn't work" is almost always not enough information. Be more specific what exactly does not work, otherwise your report probably will be useless to Fataal.
You don't need to unlock Int, there is a bug at work. You should have Int 1 at the start of the game and should be able to buy at least the first step of some perks in the INT tree. (If that is not the problem, be more specific what you see). What does it say exactly when you hover with your mouse over the icon to the right of the perks?
Whoever provides the server, did he completely wipe the game (advisable, especially if you played with mods previously) and delete all configuration? Roland has a sticky thread in the "General Discussion" or "News &...", how do do the config delete for non-dedicated servers.
Who needs enemies with a friend like Adam :cocksure:
