Alpha 22 is so overdue the title of this thread should read "Alpha 23 Fan Diary" at the very least.

Haha I see what you did there!

 BUT! Since this is the Alpha 23 thread now, you should probably also fix the first paragraph.

Welcome to the alpha 22 FAN diary, this is a Forum filled with all the stuff We know for a FACT!! that is coming to Alpha

22, and with stuff that might be coming to Alpha 23 or beyond (lets hope not). As im high of my rocker on Pre-workout im ready, the Question is! Are you?

Those should say Alpha 23, 23 and 24 respectively, otherwise it might not make sense with now "fixed" title of the thread, but then again when it comes to these Alpha, what makes sense anyway, right?

While they're working on all of this new stuff, I hope they address and fix all of the bugs in the current Alpha:

• While driving, your vehicle hits an invisible wall and elevates into the air or bounces back.  Sometimes it keeps happening and a restart of the game is required.
  
• Suddenly dropping through the ground.
  
• Zombies clipping into the ground, you can't see them, only to suddenly jump out of the ground right in front of you, hitting you while they're at it.
  
• The ridiculous reach of the Zs.
  
• The Zs ability to hit you through solid walls.
  
• Vehicles and the drone simply disappearing.
  
• Drone pathing...it's pretty bad.
  

These are all off the top of my head. 

I don't mean to and I hope nobody takes it this way...I am not trying to hijack this thread.  My point is that while they are adding new content, which is great, I hope that simultaneously they are addressing the bugs that exist now.

A lot of your bugs sound more like you have performance or network problems.

Y'know, you are allowed to be critical of the game once in a while. I've definitely run into the issue of hitting nothing with a vehicle and bouncing backward quite often. I could see it being a performance or network issue if it were just the ground vehicles. But hitting nothing while you're in the air in the gyrocopter....

What can I say? I don't ever get those "hitting nothing" events with my current PC and my current server, but I got them for example when I had a rented server with much less performance and with much less RAM than my current one (in fact performance problems were one reason why I switched servers, once from a managed game server to a bare virtual machine, then from that virtual machine to a more powerful virtual machine). What would you suspect then if you were in my shoes?

Also notice that I didn't claim that I know the cause, I just said I suspect performance or network might be a more probable cause. At least I think that "...sound more like..." is equivalent to suspecting, right?

Also notice that we probably know the surface reason why this is happening: If your game can't load the information of the next chunk/area in time for you to enter that chunk the game will just stop you and wait for the data (this we do know. If not you would simply fall through the world if in a ground vehicle as the game has no knowledge at that moment where the ground is!). Now think about reasons why this data isn't here in time. Sure, it could be a bug. But the easiest explanation that comes to mind is that somewhere in the path from server disk to server RAM to network card to network to your PCs network card to RAM was a slowdown.

The gyrocopter by the way is the fastest vehicle in the vanilla game. If you have problems with the world not loading fast enough then you will see them most often in the gyro.

There is a bug right now with drone where it gets stuck/lost which then can cause players to hit invisible walls. So that could also be another explanation besides hardware/network.

Good point, I forgot that. If that is the case deleting the drones.dat file in the savegame should help AFAIK.
