PC Rpoblems with Alpha 17

Holly happy sappy crap, does everyone on the forums have asperger's or something? WTH is with the constant bickering of what "right on top of us" means. When you're watching a car chase moving and the guy screams, "he's right on top of us!" do you suddenly think the chase vehicle has transformed into an airplane and landed on their roof? Try for a little nuance and interpretation instead of literalism and reactionism... Unless you want to come across like a child whose been beaten by a prescriptivist english teacher... in which case, you have my sympathies, and I hope one day words will no longer scar you.

Zombies respawning in front of players has for sure happened in a17e. Just look at some streams and you will have your evidence there.

I should just start asking people to clip it for me so I can post what some are talking about. I've noticed it ever few hours (real time).

Well I dont understand why ppl are so sceptical to this being a thing.

Maybe they are convinced that everyone that dont share your opinion is lying or is a noob. :)

Agreed, not sure why some are taking it super personally lol. It's fun to watch though :)

 
To be a child again, must sure be nice.... sigh...
Anyway, if you're using map data from an earlier build of the game, some aspects of the new mechanics may not operate properly, even if that data is from an entirely different region than the one you're currently occupying. Animal houses, status effects being locked, odd block swapping, spawn point corruption, and odd reward distribution can be symptoms of this. Any attempt to substitute old data into new saves to retrieve characters or resources, results in very buggy gameplay.

Most likely, and I'm only guessing, is that you have region data, or PIO prefab files, from before B240 in either your save director, or in your game install directory. If either is the case, your save may be a lost cause as I haven't been able to find a way to trick the game into accepting old data.

What in the world does your comment have to do with my post that you quoted? Nothing I was talking about there was even about my game. It was in response to OnlyMeiya. I think you got really confused and responded very oddly....

I've seen a lot of streamers claim it yes but I've also seen the zombies that they missed seeing because they were involved in playing.... and I've never seen it after a house was well and truly cleared.

 
I wouldn't bother trying to gather any kind of evidence to prove anything to these Dunnings chasing their Krugers, even if Joel said it live on a video in which it was happening right in front of his face... which is a euphemism for something happening in your field of view, not something occupying the space directly adjacent to your physical space... I though I should clarify for those who haven't learned spacial permanence yet... they would still say something like, "well, it happens so infrequently, that it never happened to me... so it's not a problem." But, you know, without punctuation.

It's in regards to your first post... though I understand why you didn't get that. Sorry, I'll try harder to be more clear next time. I apologize for causing you confusion.

Heh. This. I was even going to cite streamers as well because of the number of times I've seen people claim it happened when I could plainly see from the video where the zombie came from. Not saying it doesn't happen, there's been bug fixes that refer to it, but I've never seen it, and I feel it is reported far more often than it happens because people do not realise where that zombie came from (bread-crumb trailing into a POI behind the player, and falling from the ceiling gap are 2 obvious culprits).

ok since you say this is not true zombies not spawn on top of you and not spawn out of thin air.

Explain me the following. I have a nice Base a POI placed a keystone and made a wall around it, the wall is protectet 100% from keystone area now bloodmoon time i go up on my wall and i see 0 zombies outside

i look back and they spawn INSIDE the house also inside the keystone protectet area. How can this happen if its not a Game Bug or bad Dev decisions?

Yesterday i was inside a poi and it was not that big a smaller house and there was no zombie inside anymore 100% sure i turn around and start to dismantle the fridge and hej what you think happend? I give you a little hint i was attacked by a zombie standing behind me but since behind me as only a wall some kitchen furniture and nothing else this zombie could not get there without i see him.

so yep only explanation he spawned at this place.

No, not at all, thank you very much for recognizing that. I am literally a literalist, literalizing every word I literally type. I don't have a scrap of sarcasm about me, not by tooth or nail or by deed done.

 
One of the most common things I personally have experienced is. While clearing a POI zombies spawn behind me in rooms I have already cleared.

In these cases I haven't "cleared" the whole POI that's true but you can't deny the bad and immersion breaking mechanics that spawns zombies in an already cleared area.

I haven't seen it in a17 stable yet thought.

You're literally welcome!

I'm sure it's just a bug that needs to get worked out. I do rarely see respawns if I have cleared out the POI, and the times it has happened it's because theres one lurking in some closet or something. Work in progress, this isn't gold release it's still alpha.

Prior to B240, I noticed that if I hadn't placed a claim block down, Zombies sometimes re-spawned in my base, but my save was also suffering from animal housing at the time. Since my last wipe, I have noticed that if I run away or kite a Zed, they will de-spawn at some point, and re-spawn in their original location at full health, regardless of a claim block or even filling their spawn space.

Weird lol. Yeah zoms will definitelty spawn in your base if it's not protected by a LCB and/or a bedroll (I spread em out to max coverage). I didn't realize how they worked (lcbs) in the first EXP and tried to take a chem station with one and the other deactivated. Came back to a screamer scampering around in my walled area lol.

I have noticed zombies randomly dying too, maybe that's what happened, they respawned.

And Cabon, it's Alpha.BetaBravo17E_stableCharlie_unstable I think.

 
I've yet to have them spawn where I could possibly see.

I've had them fall out of the rafters right next to me. I swear they spawn in zombie closets and then break out of the closet, but that spawn is obscured by the door they bust through.

I've not had them appear in any area I can potentially directly see. Yet...

I saw a good sized horde at night suddenly all drop dead at once.

Has anyone noticed that the blood horde spawns near you? They look like they are crawling up out of the ground, by the way. Neat effect.
