Hi,

I have thousands of hours in the older console version and the new one for PS5. The zombie AI is really bad now.
I have had zombies on Blood Moon nights where they just stand there and not attack anything. Also noticed that
zombies in the game world wont aggro properly. I have riden a bicycle right by them and they dont aggro. Even jump off and walk near them. Can get like 2 meters till they aggro.
 
There does seem to be more of a problem with zombies not targeting the player than in the past where they attack other things instead of you or stand in place during the horde night. That may be a bug, though it's possible that it's intentional to add some kind of randomization, though I don't think it's a good choice if it was intentional.

As far as aggro when you go past them, they aren't always meant to be paying close attention to you and as mentioned above, it can also just be lag... you get too far away before the game does a distance check to see if they should notice you. If you go past quickly, they can not notice you. I don't have a problem with that. There's little reason for them to chase you when you're on a vehicle anyhow since they can't catch you. Most will follow and having some not follow is fine to me. The only thing related to that that I think isn't great is when I can sometimes be right next to a bear while on a vehicle and even if I'm barely moving, sometimes it will ignore me until I stop. If I was going past at full speed, I'm fine with it ignoring me. But if I'm barely moving, it should pay attention to me.
 
Zombies pretty much see me all the time when I get close, especially on blood moons. The only thing I've seen happen is sometimes they start attacking a tree or pole nearby instead of me.
