Im playing on a non-dedicated server hosted on my pc, with one friend. we have zero mods on. Some zombies at random just lose their hitbox, so while im fighting the hitbox will flicker red on and off. sometimes they dont even get the red outline. You go in for a swing and just miss like the zombie like its in god mod, or just not there and they just bite you. its not all zombies, its random, could be a whole group, or just some out of a group. someone i talked to said they think it may be "world event" zombies spawning wrong but idk about that. its making the game very hard to enjoy right now. I saw a reddit post where a lot of others were also having this exact issue.

I do have the same issue tho. Just make sure when u see a zombie like that, hit them from further away, because once they get close to you, the hitbox and red outline disseapears, you won't push them away. Same thing happening with zombies that get knocked on the ground, sometimes i just can't finish them off and I have to let them stand up. Can't even stomp their heads.
Yea, i have been doing that, but its beyond annoying, cuz you have to play like every zed is like that or you will be bit.
exactly
do you guys have any fix for this? it's absolutely annoying, it ruined my last playthrough
Fix no, only thing you can do is you need to stand as far back from the zomboid as possible and try to swing right before it comes in range of you so then you will land a hit. You have to be really careful. I also heard to just shoot them havent tested that
guns can also lose targeting sadly
Yikes
One tip, that kinda helps dealing with that is, turn on the outline of melee target in settings
i always play with melee outline on, doesnt really help
True...
It might be tied to zombie head movement, not sure...
this is happening on my dedicated server, anyone confirm this is happening on single player games?
The hitbox bug is MP only
