Kuren Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 32 minutes ago, Mallo said: Just had a very weird bug while driving a car. I was in Westpoint and decided to drive out the mall, so I followed the map, drove over the river, through the country roads, and got close to the mall, when - all of a sudden, while driving at medium speed - the screen went black. The screen then came back, but in a difference place, and with my car on top of (or inside) another car (in (I think) the mall car park). I couldn't get out of the car, and there were loads of zombies attracted to the noise and walking towards me. When I stopped the engine it would restart again by itself. Even stranger, all the zombies then seemed to occupy the same space on the floor. They went from a huge crowd, to just a few zeds. And then a massive crowd of zombies came after that, and repeated the same thing. Even more bizarre: when I then tried to turn the engine off, all the zeds stood on the same spot suddenly expanded out in a huge wave! I'm still sat here watching this, stuck in my car. It's like watching Jeff Minter's Psychedlia, but with zombies. I think that game is dead. Oh well, at least that was different! I had the same thing happen to me a couple times when approaching different places. One time traveling out of Riverside headed west ( about the same place the game used to crash when approaching the car junk yard - here: https://map.projectzomboid.com/#0.5309529885875125,0.08151948093429734,187.00646439876877 ) and another time headed into West Point going east down the main road through town ( around here: https://map.projectzomboid.com/#0.7221164908117963,0.25398512502888904,75.15370386395993 ). There was a shadow of where the car I joined with was in a parking spot so I tried reloading the game the last time it happened. My car as well as the one I spawned on top of had moved to that shadow spot but were still stuck together. Then oddly after reloading it a few times to see what would happen my character would switch from one car to the other each time I would load it up again.

I just restarted and, like you said, it spawned me in a lower vehicle near my old car. I *could* get out of this one, though. Which was a mistake, because I've just been bitten to f**k.

I just meant that it moved both the two original cars that were stuck together to the spot with the shadow there and my character would switch between those two stuck together cars each load. Wish I could have gotten out like you lol, was luckily teleported to a less busy area Mallo and Legoland99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then - I've got no idea why - all the zombies suddenly turned around and walked AWAY from the car in big groups! The frame rate then nosedived, the game froze, then crashed. My bite injuries seemed to have disappeared too! Weird. I'm still wondering if I can rescue this game or not... Kuren and Legoland99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinjitsu noDeshi Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Too funny. I just had this exact thing happen to me. Shepherding a horde of zombies down Muldraugh's main drag in a nice van, and suddenly I'm teleported away, ending up on top of another vehicle in the Diner's parking lot.

How can I get you a copy of my save game folder - it's 8MB as a zip. I'm playing Insane hordes on a First Week Sandbox mode. I think the only other change is I've turned off zombie respawns. Stepwise, in my save I take my vehicle from Cortman Medical up to the Pizza Whirl. Take a left onto the Muldraugh Main Street. Drive towards the Diner & gas station (don't even worry about shepherding zombies) About the point of the restaurant before the Diner, the vehicle you are driving teleports somewhere else. I've ended up in a different place each time I've tried this. Shin Edited November 12, 2017 by Shinjitsu noDeshi Kuren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watermel0wned Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Lag has even increased since the latest patch. FPS are dropping (down to 5-10) like crazy and my character is freezing in place every few seconds for 2-3 seconds. Currently the game is literally unplayable for me, meaning its even impossible for me to find any bugs in this build until i get control over my characters movement again. Please stop adding more and more gimmicks to the game and put some resources into making it testable at least.

Remember that this isn't even IWBUMS though...things like this are going to happen. I'm happy they let us peak at this feature so early in it's development. trombonaught 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batsphinx Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 There's two main things that we reckon have caused the recent degradation in performance - one's a fairly easy fix, and the other needs Yuri to do a chunk of work to update the way we do item synchronisation. So hopefully there'll be some improvement this week from the easy fix, with more to follow. In the background we've also got Bitbaboon Steve hunting down performance fixes and improvements (he found quite a promising thread to follow with map streaming on Friday), plus we've got ChrisW's work on improving FPS around buildings/towns in the can and in an internal test build. So: all in all there's plenty going on to get performance back onto the straight and narrow. Mallo and Kuren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a copy of the save folder, let me know the best way to get it to you. Shin Legoland99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertJohnson Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 For some of you who can reproduce it easily, can anyone contact me? (here or discord) I have big trouble reproducing this (happend 1 time in 1h of testing :/) but I may have an idea why it does that, could use a tester Thanks!
