Tell that to the streamer that opted out of exp, while live, and had to download 4 GB... (twice.)

Actually, what was up with that? Was his guess (that the "none" branch still had a18) anywhere near correct?!

Maybe he opted before the stable branch was updated.  Just a guess based on the time frame.

That's because the streamer didn't check the steamdb page to confirm if the update was indeed uploaded on steam and not only the announcing text, resulting in 18.4 downloading and then 19 force-downloading after finishing 18.4 as it came maybe a little bit after and stable releases are forced updates.

Happened to me once or twice with a couple of games. Check the update first, never trust the posts.

That said, streamers are the last people you want for making examples about updates or downloads , mostly because they don't have the time to properly study the status on anything they stream nor prepare in real time.

Let me help you a bit with the time-frame: what prompted the download was that TFP posted on twitter that "Alpha 19 Stable is out!" ... and at this point neither the steam news nor the 7dtd.com news section were updated. If you mean to tell me that also the steam repository wasn't updated, then that's a fail on whoever decided to post that message to twitter before the new version WAS actually out.

 
 





Code: 
Present here those of us who went to alpha 18.4 for checking the line of "exit all beta programs" haha 
It may happen, I'm still very happy for stable. NOBODY WILL CHANGE THAT IN ME xD

Don't worry. Subnautica's fine. In fact, the developers have announced yesterday to port Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero to Nintendo Switch. Many new players on that platform.

Nice game. I made it about half way through and stopped playing, but I do that with plenty of games. I bought Below Zero, but not playing until more done.

Yes, it just got buried under a lot of other tasks. Player reach could actually use a nerf too.

Players reach for looting busses I can agree with.

Or increase wrenching range to match, your breaking my immersion.😜

You do mean for containers/workstations too right? We can be like 24 feet away and open stuff now heh

Yeah, I wouldn't mind to have to get right up to a cabinet or a box rather than being able to loot it from several meters away. 😛 At least it's not as bad as the school buses and the military trucks used to be. 😛

I'm just talking about melee combat reach. Watch a player hit stuff. They can hit while visually not touching. Now some of that extra reach might stay, because we may decide it makes for better feeling combat. Just my opinion.

Yeah I noticed that and detatched the camera and played with it with the swing arc display activated, it's quite long and the visual thing is noticable. But, it kinda sorta does help melee out... I know it really does on my nightmare speed runs.

But looting/activating workstations and etc. definitely is way longer than it used to be lol.

Yep, I am willing to bet what feels "right" for some players is player magic hands as things in 1st person look alot different from 3rd person.

for a19 i gotta say, the close combat with all the weapons felt better to me than a18, in 18 i was only good with clubs and the stun baton, now i can use any weapon as they seem to react better and hit better, i even have a new found love for the knives, i so want a katana in the game or even a sword, machete good for carving, sword better for combat lol
