Flukey

Thank you It's coming along...
 

I didn't even know you could take windows out of homes. Cool.

Invincible zombie happens in 39.xx version as well...I can reproduce it at will. Keep running over zombies.. happens when they're getting up and then being run over before they actually get up.

If we're going for non-exaggerated, we want something more like this, right?
 

Sorry, I'll try again tonight.. like you said, I was frantic at the time because I had turned my view away from the screen and next thing I knew a zombie was there scratching me. 

I'm all for a mod.

There was in-car navigation in '92 and it even spoke. It wasn't widely available but available none the less. I agree, would make a cool mod.

My experience/thoughts post patch...
 
- I have my own dedicated server, I've not experienced the car warp/pylon glitch on it. I've not tested on SPIFFO.  Hopefully others will provide feedback on it. 
- I find there are certain things not spawning or extremely hard to come by in the game, namely:
     - skill books. I find I have to really scour for them and they don't appear to be re-spawning in the bookstores. (I'm sure on SPIFFO server they spawned in WP book store).
     - magazines (recipe)
     - Bags (searching bodies, crates, closets etc) is bags like normal and big bags.
     - wrenches
     - maybe just my luck but mailboxes at homes, 99% of time empty. (at least in WP where I mostly been)
- I've died by  invisible zombie (informed this is a lag or part of the car glitch) on my own dedicated server
    - zombie scratched me and there was nothing i could do, eat, take antidepressants, pain pills.. just went downhill. (i had lvl 2 first aid too)
- I've had 2 instances where the dedicated server was running but nobody could connect.. I pressed enter a few times in console and then people connected. Weird.. I know.

Very good point. I personally wish this was not done like this but I could say this for many games these days that just dump a load of files on your C:.  My SSD boot drive is constantly filling up and PZ is honestly one of the worst offenders. I had over 60GB in save data in there (5 save games) and I had 16gb left on my drive. Wondering why my PC was chugging at times, never thought this game saved so much in there.
 
 
Move this save folder off of the C drive and place it under the actual game folder would make more sense to me. I can handle a game that saved a few hundred KB in the c:\ folders.. but 10+GB? Have you tried zipping one of these folders it takes a long time too. I'd rather just have them sitting on my 4TB drive rather than my small SSD.
 

Oh, you don't have to be afraid.  I'm just asking that you consider how you present yourself online, as right now it seems to lean towards deception and aggressive behavior.  Take SoFake's feedback, for example: https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/tracker/issue/1397--{?}/
 
You'll notice there's no emotional appeal, critique of how the server is managed, or feigned ignorance of prior communications.  There's just good feedback: stack traces, descriptions of the problem, and what happened. Inquiries and reminders are welcome.

In short, skip the melodrama. It does no one, including yourself, any favors.

I experienced the truck flinging as well, but not in 39.56..I've axed a zombie that flew right off the screen. It was like I was Superman.

LOL!

You sound bitter. Would you like a hug?

I play in a window actually so it's not a big deal to switch.
 
I only use POS and only because I got lost a few times. I use exactly what Official SPIFFO server is using. I wanted to experience this game as pure/original as I could. Curious that SPIFFO is using POS too.. seems to be promoting the online map. Hmm...
 
No I won't call you crazy because it might be coined as aggressive and I don't need the tag team on me more than they are.

Well we can both read into what someone means, but after all it's just text. Like "tendency of being pretty aggressive" you're saying I'm angry or being aggressive, but I'm not being aggressive at all. You don't know me from a hole in the wall. I'm just speaking my mind and my opinion. So nit-picking is aggressive...? ok. It's great that you did what you did. Good going! I'd love to contribute some way too.
 
For me though, I don't find missing light switches affects immersion at all. Maybe the light switch got knocked off the wall? Maybe it's motion sensor based? In real life, maps show buildings they don't show xray of what's inside buildings. It would almost be better if you didn't show the inside of the buildings because in real life you would have to explore.
 
BTW I wasn't saying "user made" maps. I'm default settings here, I have no custom maps. I use POS only.

This map is so inaccurate. Many things not even on the map. I'm in areas with a bunch of homes and all the map shows is trees. I am only running POS mod. If you consider the maps you have in the game, be cool to have a map button to reveal an in-game map. And for those that don't have maps, it builds as you drive/discover. Kinda sucks alt-tabbing out of the game to see a webpage of a map.

So I haven't played for months like others but then online play to me is sort of pointless because of the lack of items and people hording... I mostly play on my own private lan server.
 
Here's my view on things...
 
- way too many zombies in rinky-dink towns with less than 100 homes.
- zombies with too much intelligence and tracking ability. Sometimes even hard to lose them in a forest.
- way too many locked homes (c'mon a zombie apocalypse and people left and locked their doors and windows!!?)
- way too many cars without keys/gas
- Zombies can climb up into a window and into a house. Really?? But they can't climb over a series of cars or boxes?
- Chopping a zombie with a brand new axe takes 3+ hits? wow.
- A guy with more than normal strength and aluminum bat takes 3 or 4 wacks to knock a zombie down?
- Can only put 20 pounds on a seat? including back seats? And what suv's have only 2 seats in the back?
- How does a key-ring only hold one key?
- How can you overload a seat/backpack with sheets? Are these led lined sheets?
- Why limit what can be claimed as as a safehouse? especially if you can sleep on a wood bench?
- How does a tree grow enough to block a car in 3+ days..or survive a car repeatedly running over it?
- How does hitting a zombie at 60+mph not kill it?
- How does a tire of a car take 6+ seconds to kill a zombie?
- How can someone eat a whole ham and be hungry 2 hours later?
- Quitting my game while inside the car with the engine off not a zombie around, come back and I'm outside the car with zombies eating me after surviving 12+ days. Yet time has not passed. Annoying.
- Sleeping when playing online you need others to sleep, then those people who are AFK wont allow others to sleep.
