I read in the patch notes that they fixed zombies phasing through players when they're in the middle of an attack animation. It's still happening on my MP save and I've had multiple people die from it. It's not missing an attack either, I'll just be fighting a group of zombies and occasionally the swing will make the noise of hitting the zombie, but the zombie you just hit will ignore the hit keep walking towards you. Only fix for this is shoving the zombie but even then it doesn't always work. YES I made a new save after the update, NO I am not running any mods. The only settings I have changed from the default settings is it's on high population instead of normal.
#(42.14.1) latest unstable version, zombies still phasing through melee attacks and biting players?

Could you forward it as a bug and share a recording of how to reproduce the issue?

I was really hoping that this was fixed given the patch note but I can also confirm it's still happening.
Took a while to pop up again, and it seems to be a little less common then before, but it still happens too often...

I had the same problem in MP

I had the same problem playing on a completely new save on my server. We did a clean install and also deleted the saves on the client. Since we use mods, I'll try opening a local server to reproduce the error. So far, I'm the only one among my friends who play on the same server to have this problem, and the bug starts suddenly and is usually not resolved even after leaving and logging back into the server.

It's happening a ton rn so yeah I could probably get a recording
it seems to be tied to the amount of zombies on screen? cuz the more there are the more it seems to miss swings
Im recording stuff rn I had a REALLLY good clip of it almost fucking me over 
This is like THE perfect example im ngl

Yup exactly what's been happening.
Seems to happen to me mostly on my server.
Thought It might have something to do with running the client and server on the same pc. But idk...
Just glad I'm not alone.
THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM!
I've been playing this game religiously for years and I've never experienced something so dangerous that I don't even want to play and risk my character's life...

ISTG it's just the amount of zombies on screen cuz when there's one or two it doesn't happen but we're playing with high population so there's a lot more in general
im glad other ppl having this exact same problem though it's so bad

Would be awesome.
I could but I'd have to start a new save and trigger the bug again.
Got a bunch of mods so they don't accept my reports, sadly.
Kinda sucks that it was literally the first patch note listed under MP, but it still happens...
Not a proud moment lol
