If any of the other 5 people can change the language you could make sure that is the reason. Probably you should make a bug report in the bug section of this forum, a tester should check whether he can reproduce it.

You could also use a free partition to install linux (I would suggest ubuntu) and play without that bug until it is fixed.

 
Properly stored can goods can last years past their exp date.

"properly stored" being the key phrase.

I like that you can now jump and catch a ladder two blocks high instead of the one block high before, wondering if A zombie can jump and climb now too.

That's the same as it was in A17 you could do the same. My base there had the same 2 block high ladder jump on.

 
The info text to "Hidden Strike" says it is only for knifes (not even bows). But the xml seems to say it is for all weapons. What would be correct?

I read the descriptions on the tiers of this perk, because it's one I like to get early. According to the descriptions, tier 1 is only for knives, but tier 2 and higher is for all weapons. At least that's how I read it.

 
early game food is hard. there is NOT food in every cupboard, or even 1/10 of the cupboards. we have been out looting and hunting not sitting around at all. including most of a shamway factory. and starving.

We have a MP game with 3 players and food is tough, But we have one player speccing in hunting, we buy food when needed (hotel vending machine and trader is empty). We are dreading barfing it all back up again. For me its much better. Adds to the "what are we doing today" feeling. We need ammo, build the base, eat etc. I find it easier in single player to stay fed.

It works with everything at Rank 1. I took the first rank this evening and I'm getting a 2.50 multiplier on sneak attacks with my bow now. Need to file a bug report that Rank 1's wording is wrong, incorrectly stating that it works for knives but nothing else.

Lol. We condensed all parts to the governing perk. So now you'll find machine gun parts, which craft ak's and m60's.

For clarification, does this mean that I'll have "archery" parts that will work for both bow and crossbow? Because right now I've got the compound crossbow schematic, but haven't seen hide nor hair of a compound crossbow.

 
Probably not, people just need to learn the new system. Maybe we need a storage helper instead that has all the cupboards and crates in it.

AND the bookcase!!! ;)

Just about on horde night 35, and a18 is giving me the old a15 exploration feels now. My base is still in burning land so its mostly dismal looking, and while I've fround forest, I'd yet to se snow or desert yet.

Food is still a struggle, which is good. Maybe we need some delectable animals that live in the burning lands?

Possible new patch tomorrow AND new video card? Its gonna be a good weekend for sure!

 
I feel that the death penalty is a bit too forgiving now. I think that on top of the XP deficit, you should have the XP progress towards your next level reset. As it stands now death is inconsequential.

I thought thats what they were going to do? If not, agreed!

 
Probably for two reasons,
#1, its early game still

#2, there's no need to farm anymore

The breadth of opinions is crazy. A lot of people is saying food is finally a challenge and you say there is no need to farm anymore. I would say there never was a need to farm, but maybe now it might be a good idea with all the changes I've made.

Food is definitely better implemented in the early game now. I did not run an overstock, while also not starving.

Did you change loot abundance by chance?

 
I didn't get all the tech bits, but I do know they tagged all the POIS which means more pois can spawn so we're updating the pregen maps, so obviously they will be different. Some splat changes too, so there might be visual errors. If you back up your map and overwrite it you could keep playing, just remember it might get stomped in an update. I'm just going to start over, this should be the last wipe IMO, or I'll roll my own map.

What I will do is first check my characters level,

then update the game,

then in the quest.xml file, change the starter quest points to my level+4.

Not too bad except for loss of equipment and forts!

Anyway, a high level character should be able to "Blitz" through POI's with a wooden club!

I would expect to have most my useful equipment back in by Day 7. :)

 
Food is not that much of an issue at all.

However, this is the first time I have felt compelled to farm at all.

The reason is red and goldenrod tea. I'm on day 7 in my current game and have over 100 red teas already brewed... but I have pretty much wiped out the population within a reasonable radius of my base and I don't want to struggle with it next week.

I always thought coffee and aloe would be worth farming but I just never did it. So, I'll be growing a bit of that too.
