42.5.1 UNSTABLE Released

[potent oar]

I'm gonna riot now

[fallen mauve]

can someone do me a favor

can someone put their settings at max ( max textures, ect) and then exit the game and send me their ini file?

for some reason i cant change any display settings in game without freezing/crashing, i can only edit the INI and boot the game

[woeful minnow]

DM'd

[urban cliff]

has anyone played with bandit relationships mod?

[hasty marlin]

Seems like there's an issue with tire pressure, every vehicle i've checked has 0 tire pressure in all tires

huh that explains why my truck was crashing on nothing when i turned corners too sharp lol

[sullen lantern]

anyone else notice this? lmao

[cunning ledge]

What is this new bug about game literally crashing if attacking zombie? Anyone else having this? i was attacking zombie near window and found reddit thread about it so aint only 1

[lapis shore]

I wad told its a known bug

[quaint nebula]

Yeah dont attack zeds near windows rn. 50/50 chance itll cause a nasty crash

Push n stomp

[potent oar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3446911675&searchtext=window

known bug like others say but that should fix it temporarily until the devs fix it themselves, it's only with multihit weapons when multihit is on from what I understand

[nocturne ore]

Yeah, happened to me once, devs might need to limit the range of attacking near windows

I was 2 tiles away from one and instant crash

[quaint nebula]

Would prefer the bug be fixed properly but i get wym

Oh that

Yeah the telekenetic strikes are a bit of a problem

[graceful tartan]

This one is alreay fixed on our side for the next patch(es).

Anyone else having crash when loading Lua

[hearty wedge]

I’m assuming we’re expecting our next patch soon?

[deep steppe]

sure hope so

[frail void]

probably

[maiden rune]

i wouldnt mind if we didnt get a patch this time around

i prefer it to be a good patch, not a rushed one

[hearty wedge]

For sure, most of my group has been waiting for the multiplayer patch.

[maiden rune]

oh MP is still far away i am certain lmao

[frail void]

Same here

[slim lichen]

Gonna be waiting a good while

[mint zephyr]

Nah you might be misreading that. The issue is probably GPU report it on the forums with your computer specifications. Your CPU is waiting for the GPU for near half of its time.

[fierce cairn]

What Forums ?

[mint zephyr]

Indiestone forums go to the project zomboid website then go to the forums sign up and do a bug report there.

[fierce cairn]

oh so tell me what i should specificlly say

[mint zephyr]

There is likely a guide stickied there.

[fierce cairn]

ah i see

I done it

[full grail]

shoutout to basically every cooking recipe still taking entire bags of flour and salt so that advanced cooking is worthless to do right now

also flour having zero calories for some reason so adding it to soups and stews is pointless

[tidal forge]

Serves you right for making flour soup

[full grail]

as a thickener; it's like adding corn starch to a sauce to thicken it a little and make it less liquidy

[lost matrix]

I can confirm, most soup stocks have flour in them

[random wind]

[flint raven]

I hope you can fix the bug that the game crashes when attacking zombies and glass at the same time as soon as possible.

My plan was disrupted by this bug.😭

[heavy olive]

They already did for the next Patch 🙂

[lofty marlin]

frontal lobe is mostly motor cortex so it won't help him very much

[fallen mauve]

Has the animal apocalypse been less frequent 👁️? I need to still review patch notes

[lofty marlin]

haven't played since 42.2 so I can't say

[lofty marlin]

mind that these patches were mostly bug fixing and balancing, some new additions, but mostly that so let's see how fast they move with the remaining stuff, mp and first stable

[maiden rune]

supposedly, but ive still seen it happen

thats one of the reasons i still dont wanna have any animals at my base

it bricks your save

only thing you can do once that happens is go into the files and delete the one which is responsible for animal entities in the game

i forgot its name but yeah

[mint zephyr]

So your computer only has 3gb of ram? Upgrade that it might fix it.

[fierce cairn]

Then why do I have 41 goes smooth and not 42 too

[mint zephyr]

Minimum specs are actually higher than your specs there. Might be the same with your GPU.

[fierce cairn]

Ah

[potent oar]

further explanation on this: 42's lighting and everything is a done very differently, the engine was kinda reworked from what I understand, as usually when you upgrade something like a lighting engine some pc's it'll run wayyy better on and some just won't be able to or will be slightly worse then before the rework, sadly there is no way to make it equally better across all systems so it's better to just go with the majority, this is especially noticeable if you're under the minimum specs.

[fierce cairn]

I'm cooked then

[potent oar]

keep in mind, this is not just a minimum specs issue, I've seen quite a few people say it stutters more for them in 42 even being above minimum specs.

my main thought on the cause of this, is the capped framerate, things like that often cause stuttering in my experience, and it does for me until I enable this mod and set my framerate to "Uncapped" might be worth a shot for you as well, I'm really not sure why the devs did this
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3393836231&searchtext=uncap

[fierce cairn]

Not only main menu but game itself

[potent oar]

this does work for in game, it brings back the uncapped framerate option build 41 had and it will affect in game play

worth a shot to start there and see if it gets a little more playable

[fierce cairn]

Hmm..I will see later since I'm fixing some stuff

[potent oar]

sounds good, dm me if it helps at all, I'm interested to hear if my theory is actually correct

[potent oar]

@graceful tartan sorry to ping but was there a reason the uncapped framerate was removed that you know of? I've had so many issues that uncapping resolves so I'm interested to know why that choice was made and if it might ever be reverted as I know without that mod the stuttering becomes unplayable for me

and that's with a high end PC

[daring light]

Thats like asking why my car doesn go as fast anymore when I attach a 10 ton trailer to it.

The game has to calculate more now and lighting was made more realistic and thus resource intensive

[fierce cairn]

Xd

[fading rivet]

i think you need a new @fierce cairn ha-ha-ha ||(jk)||

[fierce cairn]

Meh

[potent oar]

but they also changed the way the lighting was rendered entirely, that's why most framerates have tripled, a major part of b42 was optimization

I went from 120fps to 300-400fps

[daring light]

Tbh I'm not a tech expert but I'm gonna take a guess and say that it was optimized for modern hardware

Or that there is a difference between fps and raw power

[potent oar]

generally it would have less of an effect on modern hardware unless you're going really old, modern hardware is pretty advanced compared to the old stuff so since it runs efficiently the optimization won't have as much of an effect as a 2015 cpu would

[slim lichen]

I forget, is their a depressed trait

Nah just a moodle i guess

[potent oar]

there is with a mod I believe, I think More Traits but it might be another one

[slim lichen]

Oh....yeah I dunno about that one i hear it messes with a lot

[lethal dawn]

soto has that as well
I am not a fan of more traits, does not fit well with the vanilla game much imo

[lyric torrent]

i think my cigarette pack refilled even tho it was almost empty yesterday

might be a bug

[fading rivet]

Just died in an abandoned orphanage to a massive horde. Is there any mods to fix the heatmap?

[frail void]

They may change the heat map again as they go, but I agree it does need at least one more nerf imo

[random wind]

yeah so he cant type no more

[fading rivet]

Also there was a lot of them outside (but quite manageable with preparations) but when you take a step inside... That's some prison/shopping mall level of insanity. In an ABANDONED building

[visual sundial]

It definently needs some tweaking

[raw dove]

Can you microwave the dispenser bottles?

/ are they oven safe?

[fading rivet]

Might work but sounds really wrong

[frail void]

Seriously, could really use some tweaks

[frail void]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think you can boil water in plastic

[fading rivet]

If you use a microwave then you can use plastic ONLY

Pretty sure regular bottles work

[frail void]

Thank you

[fading rivet]

Wait, ceramics should be fine too

Bowls, cups, all that

[lofty marlin]

easier to chop off the hands maybe

[random wind]

It's not about the ease

It's about sending a message

[lofty marlin]

he recieved it either way

[hasty marlin]

for being a rural area, the lake and farms south of march ridge are infested with zombies. the roads are really busy 😦

[tidal forge]

Everyone thinks 'it'll be quiet in the countryside, let's go there and wait for it to blow over'

[hasty marlin]

Sure but that’s exactly what the previous heatmap changes were made to avoid. It’s not supposed to be swarming in the middle of nowhere lol

[wind vector]

im getting like a couple handfuls of zombies in like places by warehouses lol its weird

some places seem to be a bit better like the parking lot behind the mainstreet stores is more tolerable but still needs work in some places, i dont like high pops andi play with respawn on but i still think there needs to be some risk v reward for something like warehouses especially when you can find cartons of nails

[hasty marlin]

Drive down the road from March ridge to that lake south of it a couple times and you’ll be dodging so many zombies from then on. It’s just a road >.>

[tidal forge]

I honestly preferred old heatmaps, that combined with new fatigue, zombie behaviour and health it would have been ok

[hasty marlin]

Old heatmaps were like what I’m complaining about but 10x worse :/

[tidal forge]

I honestly don't have many problems other players have, so I'm not one to discuss this.

[wind vector]

i like the one before the patch , just needs some thinning in some places

[tidal forge]

B42 from since they fixed the barrels has been perfect for me

I do like coughing every so often though as a smoker, the hint I might have a malignant tumor in my lungs is immersive

[wind vector]

the camping area? lol

[hasty marlin]

On the way to the resort, that whole area around the lake. Like, there are fewer zombies around the mansions than there are on the road towards them lmfao

[wind vector]

lol oh, i remember going to the resort and it was a cluster fart one save

[hasty marlin]

Yea the resort itself is insane (which is why I’m not basing there XD) but I’m driving past it all the time. My poor vehicles. And the zombies aren’t even coming from the resort XD

[wind vector]

its a nice place near it lol but yeah only cleared that resort once

[hasty marlin]

i'm obsessed with the mansions, they're so perfect. there's one almost entirely enclosed with high fences, and they're right next to the water it's perfect

[slim lichen]

Once a semi stable is around, I'd like to try my hand at muldraugh again

Although i really want to go to to west point and live in those rich people houses to the far west

[worthy gazelle]

Yeah. As a Teemo enjoyer you won't be allowed or able to ever play multiplayer.

[teal wasp]

damn this actually helps my game stuttering a lot. It still stutters a little bit when driving fast around Louisville but it doesn't completely freeze when a entering a new cell anymore.

(rtx 3070, ryzen 7 3700x, 32gb ram)

[potent oar]

Yeah I had the same effect, I've noticed things like vsync and capped framerates can cause that, vsync is usually because if you can't hit the target framerate it'll be more volatile and have larger drops, I'm guessing it's a similar situation with capping a framerate

which is why I find it really wierd that they removed the option to uncap it

@wooden bane sorry for the ping but is this something you think could be looked into further? it seems to be causing issues for a lot of people and if that's the case then I'd hope the uncapped option comes back

it also just seems unnecessary to remove it in the first place considering you still have a choice to cap it

[wooden bane]

It will be back once it's fixed. We removed it for a reason.

[potent oar]

got it okay, I thought it was just entirely removed, from what I heard the last time I said anything about it that's what it sounded like

thanks for the response, I've been scratching my brain trying to think of a reason for it's removal but that makes sense

[lapis ravine]

Sorry to bother but would a rtx 2070 be enough to run this game sufficiently? I am getting alot of stutters around the Bateman office building especially while driving or exploring the area even with a low pop and no mods in but if I remain still I get pretty much a solid 60fps

[maiden rune]

PZ isnt graphics intensive

im guessing if theres any lag, its going to be because of the sheer amounts of items on the ground and/or the numbers of zombies on the screen

maybe a rendering optimisation issue though?

[potent oar]

either a cpu issue or same thing that was talked about above, if you're in b42 try this first https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3393836231&searchtext=uncap

[teal wasp]

omg it runs so well with this. I drove maximum speed around St peregrin hospital and through the mall parking lots with giant hordes and there was basically no stuttering.

before even just driving through the neighborhood in muldraugh would be a freeze every few seconds when new areas were loaded

[north basin]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-tears-tearyeyed-about-to-cry-gif-4917303

[potent oar]

glad to hear, hopefully it'll be even better when the option is fully added back like Miami said, considering the option needs to be fixed on their end before they add it back to vanilla, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out in the patch notes for that so I can test it a bit

[raw dove]

Stendos is amazing too! No zeds there at all and I got like hundres of boxes of ammo and an M16

[lapis ravine]

Thank you for the suggestion and it did actually help a very small amount but I think it's my cpu then as it is pretty ancient now

[potent oar]

Yeah my cpu is getting a little slower then I'd like now as well so I feel that

Glad that atleast helped in some way even if it's just the smallest amount

[lapis ravine]

Yeh it did improve stuttering a bit and once everything has loaded and stuff I get less stuttering but still bit game breaking at moment, will have to upgrade I believe

[modern ermine]

Just out of interest, I know they're hard at work with the builds but I'd love to get a dev update about the future with a Thursdoid, anyone know if they're planning one?

[tidal forge]

They don't do them anymore because they can't resist lying

[modern ermine]

yikes, you okay bud?

[tidal forge]

I'm taking the piss, but there aren't anymore coming out until post MP because of the hate they recived when they failed on promises made in the thursdoids

[visual sundial]

I mean did they tho

Go take a nap champ

They never lied about anything, people hyped themselves up way too much for what is ultimately a beta release

Im ok with them going at their pace, crunch culture fucking sucks

[maiden rune]

so true

[tidal forge]

Yes, they promised things in and out of the thursdoids, and didn't follow up on them, often not even to shut down the hype. half way through 2024 cough cough

[visual sundial]

Oh no, delays

Be a normal human and realize that life happens

[maiden rune]

the ultimate lifehack is to not believe any shit indiestone says and that way u cant be ever disappointed

best case scenario, you get pleasantly surprised

now apply that to everything in the game industry and suddenly life becomes much easier B)

[daring light]

normally devs would underpromise instead of overpromise thats a pretty basic principle

I don't hate TIS but I still think they are very very slow sadly

[visual sundial]

I dunno about that

The industry as of late has been a lot of overhyping to me at least

Thats why i like to stick to indie stuff

[daring light]

that... doesn't excuse it

[visual sundial]

I didnt say it didnt

Also I would find it strange if one were to 'hate' TIS for being slow... there are more important things to be angry about

[maiden rune]

Always have been, but its better to have snail-paced development with good juicy updates that are worth the wait compared to, well, the opposite

Waiting SUCKS
But its the better alternative

[visual sundial]

Damned if you do, damned if you dont

But as someone whos kind of in the tech gaming space, I like it when devs prioritize not having crunch instead of constant updates

[daring light]

sure but you can have quality and speed

[tidal forge]

Why does everyone seem to ignore the fact they didn't even attempt to shut down the rumours, and then say 'oh well, you guys were stupid for believing a reddit thread anyway, do this this again and we won't do dev blogs anymore'

[visual sundial]

Why should they have to confirm if rumors are true or false

I dont see like, any companies do that

Thats on you for believing rumors to be factual

[tidal forge]

It was a well known thing that an indie stone dev had said 'first half of 2024' and indie stone seems to pride itself on it's communication with it's community, they knew that's what everyone thought and they did nothing to stop it

[visual sundial]

Life happens

You have it now, so why complain?

[raw dove]

Honestly for the price of this game I have so many other things to complain about instead. Right now its $14.99 CAD, I can barely even get a movie popcorn for that price lmao

[visual sundial]

Yea exactly

I've gotten like, so much enjoyment from the game for like only 15 bucks (i did buy the plushie too lol)

[raw dove]

I've already gotten 1000 hours so everyone on top of that is gravy - for me the key is being interested in multiple games. Bannerlord just announced a DLC after saying nothing for two years haha

I would have been annoyed hearing nothing from taleworlds for years but was distracted with zomboid, and other games etc

[visual sundial]

I suppose I just find it frustrating how small teams like TIS are doing everything pretty damn well yet are treated like shit by people, but companies like Ubisoft get by relatively scott-free with their bullshit

Psychology is weird

[daring light]

Ubisoft gets far more hate than TIS no idea what you are on abt

[tidal forge]

Everyone hates ubisoft, do you not see the endless slating reviews every time they release a new game

[raw dove]

I mean people still shit on them but the devs don't have to interact, its just a job for them and the massive PR teams deal with people and feedback and sanitize it

[tidal forge]

scot free my arse

[daring light]

I barely ever see hate again TIS. And if there is it gets shutdown very fast

[graceful tartan]

Where do people come up with these lol
Wild

[modern ermine]

I just wanted to know if they'll be coming back soon, good to hear the team's thoughts

[graceful tartan]

Literally just because we're focused on builds right now, we already said the communication on the initial release was poor communication and wouldn't happen again

[celest onyx]

Probably your Den, Mad Dans Den has plenty of wares

[tidal forge]

Someone else told me, guess that's what happens when you don't shut down rumours wink wink

[graceful tartan]

All Thursdoids would be would just be patchnotes, and talking about things that are not relevant

Right, wink wink

🙄

[modern ermine]

So until say its out in stable, expect patch notes as Thursdoids?

[graceful tartan]

Not like as Thursdoids, but it's just not our focus now

[modern ermine]

Gotcha I know what you mean, thank you 😎

[graceful tartan]

I already brought this whole discussion up somewhere before anyway #1255925545875673180 message

[visual sundial]

How dare you not personally shut down every rumor made for the game. For shame!

[graceful tartan]

But my god, imagine getting something wrong or something not going perfectly as you planned being used as a conspiracy or something against you

Silliest nonsense I've read all day

[celest onyx]

Shut down rumours of Telecorn, release the Telecorn Files!

[graceful tartan]

And I'm on Steam a lot, so I read a lot of that

[visual sundial]

The telecorn REMAINS confidential

We all know TIS is actually plotting the actual apocalypse so there's def a conspiracy there

Also hope youre good braving the steam forums

I try to avoid it like a flaming cesspit

[graceful tartan]

I don't see what the point of us doing Thursdoid's right now would be anyway, I think it would be fairly easy to deduce why

Yes until the odd person comes up, refuses to give further detail and says "fix it, it doesn't work for me, and if you don't fix it you're clearly just using asking for further detail as an excuse not to fix it"

(real)

[visual sundial]

Lots of overlap with the Workshop community then lol

[graceful tartan]

Like... come on dude, the bare minimum is information about a bug or issue you're having
I even did it FOR you by giving an entire template based on what it's about on each forum lol

[visual sundial]

It's the same with mods, 'mod broken', 'backport to 41', '42 when'

But what can ya do

[graceful tartan]

Someone made a post on forums complaining that people should be forced to open their comments on their mods if they closed them because people can't report bugs for them and have to join Discords

Modders owe you nothing

Don't know when people will understand that concept

[visual sundial]

It's a little depressing seeing people get pissed at modders in their comments since many of them are very nice people

[graceful tartan]

And the fucking harassment on toxicity of it is ridiculous for some dudes that just wanted to practice coding and publish something for a game and feel achievement or learn the language.

not anyone in particular, just general

And not even just for PZ either

[silent gyro]

lol

[visual sundial]

For sure

[graceful tartan]

It's sad

I've just seen probably every thing I could possibly see in all my time here and just on other forums and when I report bugs I give every detail I can

No matter how much templates, info, or explanation you provide to people they will find a way to do even less than the bare minimum despite it 😄

[celest onyx]

At this point any patch note is far better drug than thursdoids, I aint expecting or needing b43 alpha info when I thirst for b42fetamine

[visual sundial]

At a point on the internet I feel like you just have to start shielding yourself from pointless rudeness

It still gets to you tho

Yeah I like the patchnotes

They're nice and meaty

[celest onyx]

I feel young again when obsessing over pz

If I didnt know better Id ask ETA for stable b42

But that time of flood, of endless "stable when" and all the negative shit is not here yet, but it will come one day

Better start taking bets on the patch number for stable...

41.78 something for b41, we already at 42.5.1 - but I wonder if b41 or b42 is larger update than the other

B41 was pretty damn big for what it did just for the players unable to see behind the scenes

[wind vector]

what lol

oh that wa sa long time ago my bad lol

[lofty marlin]

what's this conspiracy drama I've missed?

[raw dove]

"bug thing happen, fix or dumb now"

No honestly, I moved away from League of Legends about a year ago to terrorise the completely innocent and do-no-harm devs of indie stone. Kind of just got like that one day

Thank you indie team for making such a peak game.

[raw dove]

https://tenor.com/view/hear-hear-correct-agree-well-said-nods-gif-17801881

PZ is competing with rimworld for most hours for me 😮

[mint zephyr]

Honestly I like how this developement setup is for Zomboid. The team is as open as they choose to be (which is far better than other studios). When they choose to cook they mention some of the stuff in blogs during the dark times between builds. When its the new build stage they don't talk about the future thats not important. The focus truly is on what's getting added in the make it public stage. I LOVE THAT. We get what we want to a degree because the studio chooses what they want to add not a person who has no idea. I don't want perfection from my games because there is no such thing. Having adaptable games with varied playstyles are far better. If they decide to sell zomboid someday because the people deriding the process get too much then so be it. The modders can carry it to some degree after if the new owners mess it up.

TLDR The game is great the development is great. Nothing is perfect but that doesnt mean the game is bad. Far from it! I just said its great dammit!

[lapis shore]

They will never. Ive been a member of a dev team of an open source game (pure volunteers) and some people would demand things and call devs many names as if they were paying them salary

[glacial summit]

rimworld has NOTHING on project zomboid

dont ever mention rimworld

we dont enslave children in pz

[woeful minnow]

I love rimworld

And zomboid

[glacial summit]

zomboid better

[woeful minnow]

They are entirely different

It's like comparing counterstrike to the sims, both are good but are entirely different

Apples and oranges

[glacial summit]

like tomato tamato

[visual sundial]

I dont like saying one game is better than another... generally

All games that have followings have their own sort of spice

There isnt 'the best game', there are lots of good games

[glacial summit]

dont care

project zombie is the best

no questions asked

im not even wrong

[hasty marlin]

Man I’ll complain about bugs and weird zomboid jank (obese and starving to death) but I’ll be damned if I’m not in awe of the work that’s going into pure spaghetti code. Y’all keep rocking team, and avoiding the crunch culture. We like soft and chewy game studios here

[uncut needle]

There is no "the best game." It is your favorite, might be the "best" game in your opinion. But universally there is no "the best game."

[lapis shore]

Thats correct, best game is simply a subjective matter The Day Before

[uncut needle]

I mean maybe there is a perfect game if people didn't hate just to hate. But people constantly hate for no reason.

[visual sundial]

That is true The Day Before is scientifically better than any other game ever

lie, everyone knows that sex with hi*ler is the best game

[celest onyx]

What about the furry edition

[daring light]

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

is this what germans do when they're bored?

[full grail]

yknow, i really hope they fix up all the cooking recipes in the next patch- i love cooking in this game and it's a real shame that like 3/4 of the recipes are unusable right now since crafting doesn't support using partial hunger values for stuff

i'm using the workaround mod but even that one means you're losing like half the calories in the butter by making a pie or something

[raw dove]

Yeah it’s been bothering me too, also some are broken recipes like bread taking all of the flour in a bag. I just wanna be a sandwich lord!

It will get fixed with time and be worth the wait, but I am impatient lmao

Did anyone else know that if you were eating an item but stopped, it would take away a percentage of the fulfillment value of the food item and apply it towards your character in B41? It doesn’t seem to be happening in B42 unstable. Unless I’m making stuff up

[surreal drift]

yes we did

everyone did

[maiden rune]

Im not sure i did, thats a minor detail

[forest crest]

Yeah another thing is that in b41 u could open house doors while eating something without the eating action getting canceled, and as u said in b41 when u ate something and in the process u canceled it, it would apply a percentage of it,but its not the same in b42.5.1, i hope the devs add those features back in the next patches

[native vessel]

agreed

[forest crest]

I should add that now in b42 you also can’t queue any actions after starting the process of eating something and not even able to queue more eating actions

[maiden rune]

yeah thats the one thing i hate the most.

[forest crest]

Same , i hope its a bug and gets changed soon

[mint zephyr]

Sadly it will probably never end no matter how much people honk 🪿 on the fools that demand everything.

[tender pelican]

we should KILL them i think

[slim lichen]

Best to ignore steam forums and comments such as those

[lofty marlin]

we still on trashing the devs for working ?

[daring light]

Nah, usually just beer and parties

nooooo

let them cook more and maybe we shall some content alongside regular bugfixing

better waiting a while longer now you have 42 to mess around with

even if it's 2-3 months of radio silence, it will be worth it
