So, after the newest update to 42.16.3, none of us can connect to the server. We're all geting an error message regarding the joypadsetup.lua not being the same file on the server. We've all tried the integrity of game files fix.

Mostly...
Jog is still on the stick with no way to toggle it.
And Sprint is disabled completely rn unintentionally.
But you can move while the inventory is open now, so it's actually playable.
Just not ideal, yet.
Who needs sprint anyways tho? lol jk
But I have hope with more feedback things will improve! 🎮

just reading the report it sounds like the phantom door/gate bug that happens due to unsync'd door/gate states between server and close players

but your report specifically says it doesn't happen with doors

Working with another player we've discovered:

  1. That the "double action" is every other attempt. So first time to open makes the door open & close, then second time it just opens, then third time it closes and opens, then fourth time it closes, etc.
  2. The "double action" is only visible to the player doing the action. The other player sees the normal single action. I wonder if this leave the gate in a superposition of both open and closed at the same time?

Haven't been able to replicate on a fresh 42.16.3 hosted session -- may be one of those rare dedicated-only issues but we'll be looking into the matter.

Hi, a question — earlier a user in another post that was closed brought up a doubt he had, which I’ve also had for weeks (source:#1491374828484034601 message), and it was this: has anyone noticed any anomaly with the filters? Apparently they get used up quite fast starting from version 42.16.0/1, and it’s not clear whether it’s an intentional change or a bug. Personally, I didn’t see anything unusual mentioned about a modification that would make them last less, but of course my English isn’t native so I can’t be completely sure.

#

In the user's case, I don't know if it was in single-player or multiplayer mode; in my case, it was multiplayer.

it's not that often, be real. if you want to play b41 you can play as much as you want and it is a non-issue, this is an unstable build it should be expected that things are about to get messy with an unstable built that is why it is OPT IN. If you seriously want to keep playing on the build without disruption then follow these steps: step 1 right click on game-> manage->browse local files step 2 locate the common folder one subdirectory previous to that and then select ProjectZomboid folder step 3 drag that folder anywhere other than the steamapps folder step 4 play the game at your pace

I am curious why they chose 6% sprinters for extinction, most sprinter servers that I have played in the past were 3-5% (or go full 100%). Also why keep respawns on for this mode, I feel like they should do what they did to Apoc. So far those are me two big questions for the mode

------
When you sent the message, that post was already archived, so nobody could reply and it’s possible the author couldn’t answer you either. I’ve had the same issue with filters (at least on a dedicated server). I don’t know if it applies to all masks, but it definitely affects the typical filters used in half-masks (not sure about other mask types). I’m not sure if it’s a bug or part of some recent update. I didn’t see anything about it in the changelog, but I’m not a native English speaker, so maybe the translator missed it.

I ended up using around 3 filters in a very short time, even though those filters had about 25%–30% condition left when I loot them. The thing is, before those versions, filters lasted much longer, and now it feels like a full filter barely lasts 1–2 in‑game days… if there are a lot of zombies.

If you look into the problem, could you clarify whether it's a bug or an intentional change? If it's a change, I think it will last an extremely short time.

For the longest time they didn't spawn anything, but hadn't gone back far enough to check when/if they spawned anything. Since they're not really near waterways, I would have considered fishing stuff to be inappropriate.

I'd asked the mappers about the army barrack stuff a while back, and they confirmed it was seasonal agri dorms, which makes sense for the location -- typically b42 map is on the money, but this might just have been a matter of the mapping directions changing over time 🙏

Hi everyone,
Yesterday my girlfriend and I started a new run on Build 41, and I wanted to ask:
Would you recommend switching to Build 42 before we sink more hours into our current save?
From what I’ve seen, Build 42 changes quite a lot of things, but I also know it’s still an unstable version, so I’m a bit unsure.
How is multiplayer right now?
Is it working properly, or are there major issues/bugs?
Is the game overall playable, or does it feel too broken at the moment?
We don’t really care much about mods, but feel free to recommend some must-have ones if there are any worth trying.
Also, would you recommend sticking to vanilla settings, or tweaking things like the new muscle fatigue system? (I’ve heard mixed opinions about it.)
If you have any recommended settings for a better experience, I’d love to hear them.
Do you think it’s worth dropping a few hours in Build 41 to experience the new content in 42? Is there enough new stuff to justify it?
Any advice or experiences would be really appreciated!

Thanks 🙂

rough seal
#

Depends, do you use a lot of mods

#

Also yes, the fatique system is a bit iffy and you should tweak it. I think the new difficulties do make adjustments to it

twin coyote
# topaz furnace Hi everyone, Yesterday my girlfriend and I started a new run on Build 41, and I ...

So it depends on what you're after. Build 42 is very much a beta branch designed for feedback and bug testing. It's not meant for long saves. If you're after long saves then I'd recommend staying on Build 41. That being said, the majority of people who play Build 42 struggle to go back to Build 41 because of all the new content, so there is a lot to experience. If you're happy to accept that your saves will likely break part way through then I'd say give Build 42 a shot.

Is it a bug where fire would burn towards you as you move around?

Like if the fire started from the west, and you're on the east, the fire moves towards the east but doesn't spread towards the west. If you move from the east to the north, the fire will also follow you up in a curve trajectory from eastward to northward.

#

Or is this due to how chunks are loaded, and fire will only spread on active chunks (chunks where the player resides in and the surrounding active chunks)?

tidal cargo
#

correct fire will only spread on active chunks so it makes sense that it would burn towards you

👍🏻 Okay, thanks for your reply. I was wondering if it was intentional or a bug.

Please consider some sort of greenhouse as a high-end carpentry and mid-tier agriculture constructible so that we can actually engage in farming a bit more. The number of crops locked out of being grown until you've reached 6-8 months survived is crazy as by that point, 99% of new players have died, and 99% of veteran players have started a new character.

Someone deleted their message before I was able to send out my reply.

If we were to have a greenhouse structure that we can build, we would need glassmaking + carpentry skills. It takes a while to specialize that.

But I do understand the need to be able to protect farm crops from the weather because of some crops having short growth periods. Not sure if this is something that can be addressed in a future patch?
