[kindred vector]

https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/93499-42161-unstable-hotfix-released/

Note: This is still being pushed so may take a little bit to get to everyone yet!

[oblique spruce]

lol i already loged on to see if the hotfix was there

[kindred vector]

I am a rebel

[hallow willow]

Time to read!

[dense sun]

There's not much to read

[arctic sigil]

Mr.balls lmao

[mighty charm]

Bahahahahahahahaha

[arctic sigil]

That emoji took up my whole svreen and i k ew it was them lmfao

[lofty prairie]

Hooray! What do we have here...

[mighty charm]

Nothing controller related

Everybody panic

[dense sun]

Clearly its not done yet. Just wait

[fierce tulip]

Still being worked on as a priority, just too much work to get out so quickly (I'm not here)

[mighty charm]

Yall good im being facetious

[lofty prairie]

[mighty charm]

Wow fucked that up

Sarcastic

[hallow willow]

Im hoping soon we get another look at the “years later” challenge mode we got a while ago, I think in a thursdoid?

[arctic sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/friends-phoebe-buffay-lisa-kudrow-get-back-here-gif-16026390

[fierce tulip]

5 more days...

[arctic sigil]

yah! i been waiting for that

[karmic palm]

I think it's too early to update it

[arctic sigil]

FIVE?! lol thats forever and a half. EITHER WAY HAVE FUN SULLY DONT MISS us too much

[hallow willow]

Absolutely love years later vibes, everything over grown is just 🤌

[arctic sigil]

yah same here, thats why i like 12 month laters playthrough most of the time cause of how it looks all glorious!

[mighty charm]

I believe this is reliant on the crafting tree having zero busted branches

[arctic sigil]

lol i thought you meant like a actual tree

"we have a crafting tree??"

[mighty charm]

Unless yall dont mean the mode with like, zero civilisation?

[mighty charm]

Cause they did also tease a gamemode inspired by the extreme erosion mods didnt they?

Even then though, crafting system will need very few holes with such little loot

[pure parrot]

People are quick................

And I thought I caught on the bandwagon.

(Post was up like 11 minutes ago.)

[mighty charm]

Im usually late af, pure chance

[hallow willow]

I remember they showed a mode with overgrown buildings like 10 years later vibes.
Not the wilderness survival one

[arctic sigil]

i think it was called 10 years later or something?

jinx lol

[lofty prairie]

So it seems like we have to wait until after Easter to be able to play the game with a controller?

[pure parrot]

*Time to bring out Switch 2 Pro controller.*

[arctic sigil]

If you thought controller and the issues with it was going to be fixed a day after, dunno what to tell you, they already told you they are working after hours to work on it. Give them some time.

they need to collect feedback and that takes time

[mighty charm]

Yeah nice i too am very keen for that. Much more than the wilderness map. Actually worried/disappointed that the years later thing wont encompass the whole OG map

[exotic drum]

You can also play outdatedunstable if you want for a bit

[arctic sigil]

oh you mean be like a standalone map or something?

[mighty charm]

Thats how i thought it read in the thursdoid 😔.. but i could be wrong

[arctic sigil]

yah im not sure how they plaon on doing that curious too, it would be cool to see all the old structures all crusty and in ruins but no idea if that is way too much

[sinful rain]

kingsmouth when

[mighty charm]

Yeah itd be a huge undertaking , a full handcrafted eroded overhaul of the map

But hell i want it

[arctic sigil]

lol i think i have played that once , and i just now forgot it was a mpa haha

[hallow willow]

I’m a fan of the 10 years later mod that overlayed/added more vegetation to the existing map

[sinful rain]

https://tenor.com/view/waking-up-anger-the-undertaker-wwe-gif-15072678

[mighty charm]

Lmfao

[arctic sigil]

yah same, would be awesome to see TIS's version of it with all the new modders they hired

[sinful rain]

the b42 trailer included this super eroded map that had destroyed buildings but none of that is in game yet

they said it was part of the extended erosion of b42

[mighty charm]

See i thought they said it would be a seperate map, but i really cant trust myself 😅

[arctic sigil]

i wanna play !!!

[lofty prairie]

This mod reverts the movement controls and fixes a few other bugs for all controllers...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3691858284&tscn=1775133368

The author made the changes optional...

[exotic drum]

Yes, youve made that point already. Snide remarks dont really accomplish anything

[hallow willow]

I must’ve missed that part or can’t remember.
Hopefully they still push it out for 42 but if not then I’m sure it’ll be even better if it needs more cooking

[sinful rain]

It was back when build 42 first came out

[mighty charm]

☝️

[exotic drum]

Also the argument that modders are better and faster than TIS has no grounds, all the cool stuff we do is built off of their work anyway

[sinful rain]

They used it to showcae rats and erosion and the new grass textures

[arctic sigil]

Because mod creators , thankfully, only provide surface level fixes most of the time they dont have to balance and make sure everything they fixed works with everything else.

[sinful rain]

The erosion in game still isnt as good as that trailer

[mighty charm]

Plus their work is mostly a hack job on average, compared to the devs

[lofty prairie]

I'm not saying all modders are better or faster all the time...

But sometimes they are.

[exotic drum]

[lofty prairie]

I'm not trying to argue with you here. I just want to play the game and can't in it's current state.

If a modder can make the game playable. I'll use said mod.

[mighty charm]

Pretty crazy too, to expect there's a whole team sitting around one terminal goin "the fuck we do about this controller shit dum dums?"

[arctic sigil]

Ok. The controller is being worked on. The side jabs isnt going to help TIS do things faster. Give them time and be proactive by be involved in testing.

[lofty prairie]

Just saying, if 1 guy can fix this stuff within hours, you'd think a team of people could do the same, faster and better...

[arctic sigil]

did you like not read what i said or Paddlefruit lol

[lofty prairie]

oh ok cool lol

[mighty charm]

I mostly just wanted to use that gif

Forgive me

[lofty prairie]

I know yoou are just bullshitting lol

[exotic drum]

Its always enjoyable to see people who have no experience with game dev talk about game dev

[lofty prairie]

what are you going on about?

[mighty charm]

There's more to designing and implementing the most appropriate change then rebuilding the entire build for the devs, than there is to cobbling together a shitty mod script and whacking it on the workshop for a modder

[arctic sigil]

ok so picture a cake right and theres are different layers and we will call the squigglys spagetti since wires sounds weird lol. Anyways mod creators a lot of the time when they do fixes they fix the top layer of issues. TIS doesnt have that luxury they have to make sure all those individual spaghetties are working with one another ALONG with all the layers and things. Its a lot more complicated than what you think.

THEN they have to bake the cake lol

[exotic drum]

Thats beautiful, puppers

[arctic sigil]

Then they have to taste test which is what we are , the taste testers

and sometimes the recipe isnt right at first

[lofty prairie]

I'd say you don't know what you're talking about akchlly lol

Good modders do tons of work for free. Hell. modder built this game and others like it.

Plus, idk, maybe TIS could take a pointer from that modder and make any future input changes optional so they don't break the game for people...

[mighty charm]

Its not as simple as just "revert it". They have to find a compromise between what you want and what they were trying to achieve

[arctic sigil]

[mighty charm]

I take it back

https://tenor.com/view/ricky-gervais-talking-bollocks-gif-9758261

[lofty prairie]

Obviously, in most cases. But what they are trying to achieve here is unclear.

[mighty charm]

Yet you seem to know all the favts

[lofty prairie]

did i claim to?

[mighty charm]

Sorry, typo

*farts

[arctic sigil]

[lofty prairie]

[arctic sigil]

eggactly

[shy belfry]

Did you guys fix the flying cars bug

[lofty prairie]

that was a mod april fools joke lol

[lofty prairie]

but they did fix the sinking cars and the clothes randomly falling off lol

[shy belfry]

means /s or sarcasm here basically

[oblique spruce]

no thats not a bug thats just our caracther getting sussy

about the clothes bug

[lofty prairie]

ahh i am still new here huh... maybe thats why i'm getting all this hate lol plus im a peasant controller player so my opinion doesn't matter anyway lol

[mighty charm]

Hmmmmmm the victim role will probs get you about as far as the angry mob role my brother in christ

[gusty hornet]

do we need to update our servers as well with this hotfix ?

[lofty prairie]

I'm no victim lol hate me all you want idc

Last thing I'm adding then imma take a break till after Easter I guess. Let them cook some Easter diner lol...

For kb/m players the game is actually in a pretty good state so I see why people are like "hey, stop complaining, don't point out mods exist to fix things"

For controller players who want to play while they wait for TIS to fix this mess, probably after Easter. I linked a controller fix mod like a dozen msgs up...

[ashen jay]

The last 2-3 updates have contained dozens of optimizations and support additions for controller players what

[lofty prairie]

yes

[mighty charm]

I don hate you bro

[mighty charm]

https://tenor.com/view/metalocalypse-murderface-mtl-cute-cat-gif-12802865527466666098

Jus sayin be chill, be lovely. Like this Moidaface ^

[lofty prairie]

I don't hate you either...

I love you all! Even people who disagree with me.

[arctic sigil]

Nobody is saything anything of the sort, we tried explaining to you after you posted a mod saying that it is factual proof a modders can do it faster, that it is a lot more complicated. Tis has already personally told you they have been working on the issues overtime that means while we are sitting here , playing doing other things, sleeping they are working on the game and the issues for you. You NEED to give them time to sort the problems.

[lofty prairie]

I'm just upset and want to play the game and try out new stuff but I literally can't.

I would rather TIS fix stuff and not have to rely on modders to do so...

[mighty charm]

I dont disagree with you're goals. Merely your MEDIEVIAL METHODS DELORES!

[lofty prairie]

lol

[unkempt gorge]

are u guys able to plug in a mouse and keyboard in ur consoles

[cunning swan]

Another one eh?

Yall been busy

[arctic sigil]

For my steamdeck I had to use blue tooth ones

not sure about wired lol

prolly need an adapter or something

[tranquil pecan]

parts of houses are black, yall got that down already?

[lofty prairie]

I've got one more thing to say cause I can see @zinc talon in here emoting at our conversation...

I do not want to be forced to rely on a mod so I can play your game.

However, I have been relying on multiple controller mods for years to fix some simple qol things that you guys could have fixed ages ago.

I understand fixing things or finding compromises takes time.

I also understand that your priorities are mostly on kb/m and now, finally, your'e trying to make the aiming system better. Which I agree with.

But I still don't know why you guys thought it was necessary or a good idea to change the control scheme suddenly in a 10+ year old game with poor controller support to begin with.

And of course there is no ability to remap anything or opt-out. Maybe custom controller button mapping woulda been a better idea first... idk maybe I'm crazy lol

And finally, to be clear, the only thing I and many controller players are complaining about is the new analog stick jogging/running thing.

Just revert that, or don't use it at all, or make it something you can toggle at very least...

ok I'm done...

Happy Easter!

[arctic sigil]

42 has more features than 41

[lean cloak]

not much really changed from the conversation from yesterday. as a work in progress entail, we try different ideas to try to get the best possible experience out there, some ideas work, some ideas don't, and all of them grow through constructive feedback, which we are collecting.
Please give it some time for the team to work the next iteration, while i have the deepest appreciation for modders and i'm glad someone made a quick fix that allows you and many other to enjoy the game right now, a comprehensive change is not as simple as a bandaid on surface level and will require the proper care from the team, so once the next iteration is ready we'll again look forward to more feedback on that regard

[ember violet]

NOOOOO PARK RANGER MY BELOVED 😭

[ornate estuary]

Easy to hone in on the silly logic in the convo so I'll try not to get bogged down by that-- I'd just like to ask @lofty prairie can you clarify the jog/sprint thing and make a forums post about it. You're not doing anything inherently wrong by offering a suggestion- but the tone and saying stuff like '1 guy can do it fast many do it faster' is going to derail the convo. Also, there's so many people constantly railing against changes- so its a death by a thousand cuts so to speak when people suddenly lash out and dismiss criticisms - its not you. Just my 2 cents.

[lilac bronze]

Any chance sawed off shotguns might be holsterable now that the stock is removed as well? would be sick.

[lone agate]

Oh hi

[lofty prairie]

Love you guys thanks.

I know, I know.

Please take your time and do things right!

I've just been replying to other people who share my frustration.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm being impatient. Maybe I am a little impatient to play my favorite game in the world! But that's ok right? lol

I feel like an ass for the tone of my earlier comment. But I only meant to praise the author for his quick work and maybe give a little jab in the process. Whatever I'm not perfect lol

Thanks @ornate estuary I love you!
But there are multiple discussions, suggestions and bug reports about that very thing.

Do any other controller users get forced to look in a random direction when accelerating in a vehicle?

Using what mod? Im playing vanilla so I know it's not a mod's fault

[gusty mural]

You guys forgot to hotfix echo creek back in as a spawn

[cyan pond]

They were supposed to re add that?

[gusty mural]

Well. They are supposed to because I asked. But…

[nimble olive]

Sorry.. using the mod for old movement behavior mentioned here before "PS5 Dual shock support"

[gusty mural]

At least controller users got acknowledged in those hotfix. Yall sufferin

[cyan pond]

THERES A MOD FOR OLD MOVEMENT BEHAVIOR!?
I need it

[nimble olive]

it has issues too🤣

[cyan pond]

The controller update is just awful...

any little bit helps, but also try the solution that has been recommended in the post

[warped chasm]

Hey folks

Since it’s been some time since I’ve last revisited b42, what has changed in terms of zombie migration and AI?

I’m v curious since I’m doing a extinction rn

[pure parrot]

Extinction = Day / Night sprinters. Zombie Migration / AI behaviors are the same since 42.8.0, after they added Voronoi Map zombie distribution

[dense sun]

Theyre a bit dumb near vehicles but overall they are the same as usual

[round fjord]

Has anyone had any issues with plumbing? Someone has a clothes washer with a rain barrel above it and a pipe wrench and is not getting the option to plumb

[dense sun]

Could you do that before? Its not a water container overall, I dont think you could connect it before

[round fjord]

Ahhh they were missing walls on the ground floor.

[gritty oracle]

Yes. If the appliance/sink/toilet/bathtub is not inside, you don't get the "plumb" option. The easy test is "does the temperature change on your digital watch when you are next to it?" (If not, then the game thinks you are outside.)

[dense sun]

Unfortunately the sound remains as if outside

[gritty oracle]

In B41 I plumbed clothes washers. I have no reason to think it should not work in B42

[dense sun]

I just never tried that so I got surprised you actually can

[gritty oracle]

It allows "fear of blood" characters to wash their clothes.

[dense sun]

What about using sink

[rotund lake]

Anyone else have an issue when starting a new server in MP that items don’t spawn on first load, got to reload to see them.

Had this issue for the last few builds

[lone agate]

seems fine here

are you running any mods?

and have you run a verify integrity of game files?

[rotund lake]

No mods, vanilla. On Mac, hosting for the wife and I.

[granite moth]

any idea when they are going to address zombies doing a million damage to cars when they are barely touched or driven over?

[next inlet]

you generally want to avoid hitting things with your car, but that was also a thing in b41

if you need to run a lot of things over, drive in a circle backwards with a strong-ish car that can generally take care of quite a bit

damage is being done is 20-30% per "hit" and if u hit a zed from the front it totals the trunk and trunk lid first

upload unlisted to youtube, and link to it in the forum with a bug report, if one post already exist, update it

[dense sun]

Really now? So they fixed the unreasonable stress gain from tall fences by making zombies unable to break those? lmao

[dreamy relic]

Is the blacksmith occupation cost wrong on 42.16? I was under the impression it was -6 points but When starting with 8 points in the green you click it and it goes to -6 points so a cost of -14 points is that supposed to be what it is now?

just want to make sure before i write a bug report

[floral stone]

you're looking at it wrong. Unemployed or whatever base occupation gives +8 points. You start with 0, if you could choose no occupancy at all.

So "changing" unemployed occupation first takes to back to 0, then the proper -6 point when choosing blacksmith as occupation

[dreamy relic]

ohh i see what i did there 😄 ignore me

Thank you for that my brain just didnt think about that part 🙂

[floral stone]

math hard, just want to bash skulls in

[warped chasm]

its likely what happened by accident maybe

it seems to be a deeper issue tho, their entire pathfinding is wrong when it comes to fences

[warped chasm]

i could post for you if u tell me where dis at

Interesting that it's sorted right for idle, but not the animation

You must have sharp eyes cause i don't see the problem with the chicken coop image

Ohh the chainwire fence posts are clipping over the corner of the eave

[lean juniper]

there's only 1 at the farm

you can see from the paths / tile blending 1 was copy pasted

the one in red is the original

same area in b42.13

[lean juniper]

if you want to, I'm too lazy to go to the forum, log in, write up a thread and all that, it's kind of annoying (to me) ngl

I prefer to post it on discord "hey, this is happening, [image/video], bye"

it's at the small muldraugh storage area south of the warehouse

Developers, please add the ability to right-click the time display to adjust the alarm on digital clocks in the next update. This would eliminate the hassle of having to go into the inventory to adjust the alarm.

[worldly thunder]

Hello! Local lurker here, I’ve been loving every update of this game and having a blast playing it on pc, however right now the controller updates are making it really hard to play the game on controller or on my steam deck.

• The new analog movement makes moving around awkward, I don’t want to jog everywhere I go all the time and burn stamina and I’m more prone to unintentionally jogging and tripping over a fence when id rather just carefully hop over it. Also right now you cant full sprint either.

• Not being able to move when the inventory menu is open feels bad, moving around my base and organizing loot or looting feels extra tedious. Please bring back moving around with the inventory.

• Cant interact with TVs, if you walk up to a TV and hit A (xbox controller) nothing happens, even if you bring up the interaction menu with X nothing happens. I have to click on it with a mouse. I did notice that i can interact with TVs i have moved however. But i cant with any others. Interacting with other objects like hacksaw machine works just fine strangely enough.

• Guns, Aiming is impossible, first you have to use the analog to point at a direction, but the “cursor” is still treated like the melee range cursor. Then you lightly push on the trigger to get the reticle to appear and be able to properly ‘aim’, lastly you push all the way down to take your shot. If you are using a semi-automatic weapon which in most cases you are, you will be auto firing every bullet as you hold down the trigger. It feeling like a balancing act with how I’m moving my analog and carefully hovering my trigger to aim but not shoot while also tracking a zomboid.

Im sure the devs will make it better in time and if a dev is reading this, Thank you for this awesome game I’ve spent more than a 1,000 hours in since 2015, I’m excited for future updates!

This is a fun bug that I have heard of from time to time.

Sometimes when you sleep in July, you trigger this bug which sends you to January, moving you forward 6 months ahead.

Could be a fun challenge. Hibernation challenge?

Would anyone even be successful in surviving after a bear slumber?

[exotic drum]

That is a terrifying bug

[pure parrot]

Indeed.

hello guys Yesterday, I entered Project Zomboid with my friends, there were 7 of us, I opened the server, I gave 16 GB RAM to the game from the co-op tab, my internet was not bad, but still, the characters in the game obviously stop sometimes, there is no synchronous movement, and when fighting with zombies, it did not feel as safe as in the single player. I wonder if the reason for this is that the game is not stable or is it a setting that I did not make?

[lone agate]

how much ram did you give yourself? because it would need the 16+your own requirements - it also depends on their connection to you, their internet connection + the ping (ms) to the server itself, and what kind of drive (SSD?NVME?HDD?) as it is a lot of read writing going on, plus CPU is a factor due to all the calculations going on

but I will say overall the way zombies work in MP feels very different than SP

[long pebble]

I have 9800x3d 48 gb ram and nvme ssd samsung 990 pro I don't know how to give myself ram, there is a separate setting for this.

[lone agate]

it's not in the game itself you'd have to do it manually through steam launch options. quit out of zomboid, right click on it and then in the general tab should be launch options section add " -Xmx16G" (16 is an example, probably less than that but depends on if you use mods and stuff)

[fresh blade]

When b42 stable??

[cunning swan]

You asked, its been delayed

What movies is project zomboid most inspired by or in this case zombie media in general

[floral stone]

before 3rd of June or Sully is a poopy butt

[dense sun]

CDDA is one of some I think

[lone agate]

The original tech demo came out when season 2 of the walking dead was airing so you can best believe that TWD was a major influence

[pseudo haven]

Classics like dawn of the dead also carry some weight I believe

Missing, "broke my immersion"

[ornate estuary]

This is for updates-- that would be on another bingo for 'doesnt like the mod idea and needs to tell you' card

which can include "is this lore accurate?"

[shy belfry]

True

[shy belfry]

What about... "Pushing out something to people they didn’t agree to and didn’t want isn’t cool."

basically, who asked ("why update?") lol

found another bug

[lean juniper]

but would you play with a mod that made it so tents were useful ™

[warped chasm]

[lean juniper]

https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1seewrk/tents_should_be_buffed/

honestly I agree

[shy belfry]

Tent + sleeping bag + pillow is already an insane combo wdym

[lean juniper]

Watch the video

[shy belfry]

Didn't know it was talking about new mechanics with the rain and temperature lol

I guess that's why the tent world mod exists, but that seems like an odd way to handle it

[drifting elk]

That would be hard honestly, you would need a custom mesh, then animation, sfx, and then programming and balancing

I can only do two of these which is the animations an sfx.

[exotic drum]

Making a PZ licker rig would be fun

I think we discovered that if you wanted to make a custom entity, it would pribably be easier to just make it as an animal and put all your custom logic on top of that

[lone agate]

Lickers, and xenomorphs please

[mighty charm]

Aye Clickers would be far easier i expect. Basically same logic minus the ranged tounge attack, in that they're blind and only responsive to sound. Pretty crazy coincidence that the two only have one letter of difference and are both blind creatures

[mighty charm]

PZ: Isolation

Pretty sure there are already clicker mods but did they ever actually manage to make them fully blind?

[exotic drum]

It would certainly be fun to add more enemy types to the game but I dont think the general modding api is quite there yet

[lone agate]

I think they did, but I am honestly not sure... I however cannot find the version I used to play in B41 I think it may have been deleted.
