PC population -

My guess is that a new log message which seems to check whether the vehicle teleport fix works is also telling everyone where other players are. Bad for PvP

But the fix is easy. Don't play the newest experimental, I don't think a log message that spams all the time will be staying in the game for a long time

Why not just explain the issue here? Instead of just expaining it you post a hard to read message (black text on grey background) and a picture that is difficult to read. Hope it gets fixed.

sorry but im not about to explain how someone can exploit using this info: Just bringing it to attention to those who needs to know the problem exists.. But ya i wouldnt recommend sharing what it is to anybody right now if you know what it is.

I fixed it. Oh...you meant the experimental version of the game?

This is such a huge gamebreaker for pvp why would the pimps apply it? is beyond me.

I don't recommend that you play experimental versions. You don't appear to have the temperament for it nor the understanding of their purpose. If you simply download experimental versions to play as a 7 Days hipster you are always going to be disappointed.

If you wish to actually help, then an attitude-free report submitted in legible format in the bug report forum is the way to go. You posting in general discussions with a click bait title and incredulity dripping from your text that TFP could ever think it smart to implement something is really going about this the wrong way.

But if a PvP server updates to an experimental build then they are just asking for trouble.  Just wait and see if that info is still present when the patch goes stable.

If it updates with the intention of finding flaws and issues and reporting them and everyone who joins that server is helping to do that then it is very much appreciated but yeah, if someone loads up the experimental the day it drops cuz..."We only play the newest version, yo!" and expects to be able to have a flawless experience-- this person is the one killing his PvP community.

Honestly, if I was running a PvP server and wasn't interested in testing and reporting-- just playing for entertainment-- I would stay on A19.6 until A20.6 goes stable since that version will be the absolute best and most stable version of Alpha 20. Going from final decimal of a version to final decimal of a version will always result in the least disruption.

But the lure of playing new stuff that everyone else is playing is tough to resist.

if this was some encrypted log file I would understand.
But it literally gives us the coordinates....

 
I certainly hope this was an oversight on the pimps' part. Client console shouldn't be getting visible messages about where every player in the server is every couple seconds.

 
Are we sure it is doing what we think it is doing?  I just started up a SP game and I got a ton of those messages in my console with various positional coordinates in there.  I am fairly certain the only player in the game was me.......

Do not try killing yourself for points.

@Grandpa Minion Just curious but why is it that you always start these threads with inflammatory statements, but very little actual information; only to then later basically turn it into an advertisement for your server. (The advert isn't here yet, but I expect it will be coming along shortly as it usually does.)

And on top of that, you're spouting about a supposed issue on an unstable experimental version that is likely to see at least one more update with changes before it goes live. So it's basically the equivalent of running around screeching that the sky is falling.

Pro-Tip..  Anyone who wants to run a Stable PvP server wouldn't be running with the settings and configuration you have for your servers, and absolutely wouldn't be running on an unstable experimental build.

Final note, killing off three percent of the total player base isn't killing off much that anyone really cares about. Especially when it is concerning a feature that the developer doesn't really consider a priority. The game is primarily designed for 8-player co-operative gameplay. Not 50 player PvP raiding.

Ouch.
Also... where does this 3% thing come from? The servers I see are basicially 50/50 PvP and PvE.

Sure those are only the dedicated ones, but still. I think 3% is a bit low.
Especially, since these guys are the ones that are STILL playing PvP even though TFPs have done nothing to improve it since about 8 alphas (yes yes not supported all good).
I am very sure that there are loads that just hope for a good PvP update.

I'll admit that it's been a couple of years since the last data pull, but in every one done previously, PvP only made up 3-5% of the player base. A lot of people just play group co-op. Dedicated servers aren't the only source. We've even had a few public polls, and in those we saw the same results.
