42.14 ground attack bug

[signal barn]

Only happens when pressing attack (not shove) and only with empty hands when Auto detect prone or standing attack is disabled and Manual ground attack key is not pressed.
Same on kbm and gamepad.

added: Confirmed with fresh game install.

@signal barn Reinstall. I had this issue, it might be caused by the updating itself not by the version files.

[signal barn]

verified files, same. Before i go to delete everything and download 9gb again i'd like someone else to confirm it is just me

[rancid cove]

It is variable, others might have the same issue, but this happened to me too along side an issue where getting into a vehicle is fine but getting out gave an infinite queue timer.

[signal barn]

sounds like a bug to me to report

[rancid cove]

Others might run into it too, but that also depends on if they actually report it or look at your post.

I have reinstalled and it fixed both issues.

This can happen with any updating of games, especially in unstable manifests.

Full clean install of the game did not fix the issue. (this is with deletion of leftover files in the install dir)

Is this on a new save?

[signal barn]

yes

linux native version if that helps

[lusty canyon]

Can you share your logs.zip file found in Home\Zomboid?

[signal barn]

here, i yeeted old logs then started the game with all mods disabled, started new save and reproduced the issue then quit the game to desktop

[lusty canyon]

Yeah looks fine, though I cannot see any specific errors here, can you forward it to our bug reports forum so QA can have a look at reproducing it?

Wait, isn’t this expected behavior?

You say

• Auto detect prone or standing attack is disabled
• Manual ground attack key is not pressed

I would expect the character to never attack the ground now

[signal barn]

watch the video, character does push animation and hits zombies on the ground with stomp sound, issue already reproduced by a bunch of people

[open gulch]

oh I watched without sound lol

Okay now I understand
