PC Turning off zombies run at night

I just leave the speeds on defaults myself, once your past like day 4 or 5 your usually able to kill running zombies like they are jokes, does make the first 2 days a tad more tense but thats it.

 
I prefer zombies running at night because of difficulty, but their animations are still so jittery that it becomes really hard to kill them with any guns other than shotguns

 
...That's why I'm one of the admins on our server. Our server has similar specs (I-7 3.6, 24GB RAM, and a Samsung EVO SSD). Interestingly enough, almost everyone that wanders onto my server tends to be a bit older in the general demographic (40-65 yrs. old). I suspect it might be partially due to the type of setup required to play this game smoothly. Anyone that steps out of line in regard to respect of others within the game or is caught cheating is immediately banned. Luckily, I can recall having to kick maybe five players in total including a couple of hackers. Very few that have joined were disrespectful of others. It's pretty easy within the game to determine their steam ID and then just add them to the ban list. We have clans that join. I'll see groups come on from a specific area of the world at different times. I have the world backed up hourly so I can roll back any chunk to fix any vandalism. You are welcome to test in my current game server to see the difference in frame rates on hosting on a separate system - Geek Gaming 17.4 is the name of the server.

I am 51 myself and will be 52 in November so I can see the age difference an important factor, especially with certain games. I would say most of the clowns I played with could be kids that get bullied in school and then get take it out in game by killing their own teammates and that type of thing.

I would like to find a few guys I could play with and keep it to just that but I am still leery of trying it, so I am happy with just SP and I know I am missing out but that is on me.

I started a new game with Nitrogen to get rid of the burned forest biome which I hate and I have the settings as jog at night I guess because I am a wimp at starting out. However when you reach a certain level say 100 and you raid a decent sized store like Crack-a-Book or Shotgun Messiah you will encounter more feral than regular zombies be it day or night so at that point you still have the challenge but you can still go out night scavenging without being overrun taking apart a car with a wrench or mining.

Before i started playing 7dtd i have seen a few videos from people playing, so i had a general sense of what to come. Still, i mostly came out at night, cautiously at first, but decisively after i got accustomed with the game. It ia doable, it is tense, it is loads of fun.

Also never played with others, perhaps some day it will change.

Ah a Stonekeep veteran. I don't really like to go out at night because of the poor headlights on the vehicles and I just prefer to only do what I absolutely have to such as mining or car salvaging but I do not do any quests at night or much looting inside of any buildings. I guess you could say I am a bit wimpy but I would rather tend to the forges and do my crafting or repairs at night and then about 6:00 when the light is out I go out and do quests and scavenge buildings and anything else I need to do.

I was really confused for a while on how every bloodmoon all the zombies even the feral and radiated ones were just walking and I thought I was some kind of bad-ass picking them off one by one until I realized I had turned bloodmoon to walk somehow of which I really do not remember doing. So now it is more exiting, like Halloween every 7 days now once I turned it back to the default sprint.

Not really much said here but I wanted to comment on Stonekeep, which I never finished and got stuck in, but it was a cool game.

Played it a long time ago and managed to finish it. Pretty intense and fun with many interesting ideas concerning gameplay. Returned to it a couple times, but i guess the initial fun was the best. Never did manage to find everything there is.

Concerning 7dtd, having night vision goggles helps a lot, not to mention mining helmet. Although the first will allow to see without being noticed (even though it isn't working too good, like with deep, dark night time). Knowing the grunts and zombie sounds apart from the ambient noises helps a lot too.

 
I never go out without my mining helmet or helmet light, the night vision googles give tunnel vision and you can not see with any peripheral vision so I don't use them very often and even with the moans and grunts I sometimes get surprised by the zombies, so when I am mining I will stop every so often and go up to the surface level and take a look around just in case.

As far as Stonekeep I got stuck in the Shadow Realm with that glass barrier that you cannot break, I looked everywhere and tried everything but I could not get past that glass barrier.

 
Tough luck, ending of the game as i remember. I think you had to have the big saturn oeb which granted strength. There were a lot of hidden passages there. Sometimes i simply walked against walls to see which were illusory. The shadow palace is the last area where you collect last irbs and go to fight, instakill or imprison Shadow King.

I often get surprised by Zs, but as long as i'm paranoid enough and look around often, it's rare.

I spent hours trying to figure out what to do and where I was playing I did not have access to the internet so I could not checkout a walkthrough.
