Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

I would remove the scarecrow and reload. Just to try to troubleshoot.

I wish I could, but the crash ruined my save.

Is there something in B25 that has been reported to cause lag? I made a base on the outskirts of a large town and everything was fine for the first 10 or so days. Then I suddenly started to get odd chugging, like normal frame rate for 5 seconds, then a frame rate hitch, etc.

And it kept doing it even when I went very far away from the base (like 5km or more). If I went away from the base and then restarted the game, the chugging didn't seem to happen until I got near my base again.

Eventually the game crashed very badly, with lockup, weird graphics and then the computer restarted. And my save is gone.

I didn't really have anything much. Couple of advanced forges, metal workstation, tailoring station, writing desk, workbench, chem station.

I think I had just started a garden when the chugging began. Not a very big one; ten corn, ten potatos, a few mushrooms. Farm plot blocks around a long trench with rain catchers. I also had four growing apple trees, one animal snare (with the Better ... Feed? upgrade) and one chicken coop. And a scarecrow.

Except for the new animal snare, it was about the same I had in my B24 game without problems (though, I just loaded that save and had bad chugging there too, but that might be due to running on B25).

Yes. It's something I Don't Care patched that shouldn't have caused it. SHOULD be fixed for the next version. We're doing more testing.

Minor B25 things:

Animal Poison has a green icon (may be a vanilla thing; I think this is the first time in my thousands of 7DtD hours I've ever been poisoned by a snake) and also doesn't show duration on the HUD (it does on the effects page). Doesn't seem to have any negative effects?

Bit of an unexpected problem, but broken glass is actually kind of difficult to come by now. Windows don't give you glass, you can't scrap jars anymore and I'm pretty sure there used to be a forge recipe to make it with in A20 and earlier, but not now. So I'm looking for broken glass sound traps on the ground (which do still give broken glass, for some reason) and they're not too common.

Some questions:

1) If you use a crowbar or pickaxe to open a locked chest some of the loot inside will be destroyed, whereas if you lockpick the chest you get more loot. This is what a big 7D2D Youtuber says. Is that correct?

2) If you use a power attack, do tools degrade more compared to a normal attack? Do you get more block damage out of a tool before you have to repair it by using power attacks only?

3) I chopped down an orange tree, it fell on my head and severely hurt me. Is that kind of damage new?

And still, orange trees need an extra chop compared to apple trees which is weird and probably a bug.

Edit:
Forgot to add version: B24

So i'm on B25 and a NullReferenceException keeps popping up making it that I cannot play the game this has happened consistently on day 11, I've verified the integrity of files, recopied the mod folder even redownloaded it and used that one just in case but its continuing to do it 

I also used the NRE fix patch and it is still misbehaving

You're on A21.1 and started a new game for B25? (If the problems first started on day 11, you probably did, but just to make sure).

Yeah i'm using all the correct stuff for it, just bugs out on day 11. I always start a new save with each new update. I'll try a game on default settings see if it works then who knows but i'll let you know

Good idea. The only thing I can think of is that your save somehow got partially corrupted, or your map did (I have had some oddities in a few of my V5 games. Magically reappearing trees and such. No NREs due to it, though).

I haven't had NREs in B25 and I think the only common items I haven't built in my games so far are the dew collector and the sink (and the fusion forge and laser workbench, but you probably didn't have those on day 11). But maybe there's some buggy item I haven't encountered.

For the issue with Glass some df pois have windows you can bust to grab glass. I raided a poi in b24 that gave me about 130 pieces of glass. I'm a dirty double looter for the trader quests though

ah. I tried quite a few different windows, but didn't find any that gave glass. The only thing that did was the glass on the ground.

I did start out in a town, so maybe a city has better chances.

There is glass laying around the floors of most POIs. It is mostly bottles and broken glass piles, but sand is way easier to come by.

It wasn't for jars, but for scope mods. I wasn't finding any in my current game, so I had to craft one and it requires broken glass. Took about three days to find enough, but that was probably partly because I was in a town.

Hey,

Is it something avoidable in game ? Because it started with freezing for half a frame every few seconds near my base and after a wandering horde showed up one day it it amped up to punching me in the face every few frames  Would love to avoid the area but my horde base and farm are  there as well so I was wondering if I can somehow avoid what's causing it.

1) For B24, yes. For B25, no but it generates a LOT of heat.

2) Not that I know of.

3) Trees always did that. They used to instantly kill you aroiund a13/a14.

Then I need to know EXACTLY what the NRE is and how to reproduce it, because the only reported one was with scrapping in the workbench, which is fixed.

Nope. It's to do with the workstations. So you could spread them out all over the place and hope?

So I defaulted all the settings so ive not changed difficulty nothing, and i got past day 11, but If i play on Warrior and have it set to private, max 4 players, max multiplayer xp range, zombies run at night drops every day and drop nothing on death and on day 11 hits about 10pm and the NRE starts going crazy I've even done fine on nomad just warrior seems weird for me

Ok, i may just be looking in the wrong place. But i can not find a working link to download the latest version of Darkness Falls. Did it get taken down or is a new version coming out soon and we need to wait?

thank you,

 

[Krenya]

Hey,

Thank you. It work with only 1 workstation placed, keeping advanced forge cause that's the one I'm using most atm (and campfire, don't know if that one counts here though) any more and it gets wonky

The 'link' to the DF site seems to work fine if you copy it to the browser's address bar (the Google links tend to give me a 'too many downloads' error).
