Dwight Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I already posted about this bug on the Steam forum, and Enigma Grey was very kind to answer my topic, but it seems he hasn't really found a solution for this bug: https://steamcommunity.com/app/108600/discussions/0/1761356057411417034/ If you don't wanna click on the link for some reason, here is a resume: " I decided to go and check out the Mall, I got there and killed a lot of zeds without too much difficulty, then I decided to explore what exactly is in the Mall. Problem is, the zombies in the Mall do not spawn correctly. 2 times I walked into an empty room, walked for a few seconds, then dozens of zeds appeared in the room all around me, the second time was fatal for my character who had survived more than a month... This bug makes it impossible to check out this place, and it didn't happen because of my computer, I have very good fps all the time, my computer already had hundreds of zeds on screen without any difficulty in the past, so I don't know what causes this, but I don't think it's on my side. " Another guy declared he encountered the same problem, we both have very good specs, and when Enigma Grey tried to reproduce the bug, he kinda managed to do it, but he didn't give any real clue on how to fix this, and said he would test this furthermore but didn't answer again and it's been nearly a month (not blaming you, I know you've got a lot of stuff to do). In conclusion: This bug makes getting into big places such as the Mall nearly impossible because zeds have the potential to spawn on top of you, I didn't read anything about this in the latest updates and it's a pretty annoying bug, forcing me not to go to some places on the map even though I am very well prepared. I'd be glad to know if someone knew what caused this, and if someone was working on it. trombonaught, Nachalas, DedpaUrvor and 4 others 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Bit late on replying, but make sure you're not tired/depressed/bored/anxious when visiting the mall. It massively delays and lowers the character's ability to perceive zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It massively delays and lowers the character's ability to perceive zombies. I know about that, but it has nothing to do with the problem here, since my character was perfectly healthy and even if he wasn't, the zeds would have caught me and/or made a lot of noise before I managed to come all the way to the middle of the room. Even the most tired character cannot fail to see 30 zeds in a small room he's walking in. Shotgun_Messiah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Like, in theory, or in the game? Because in the game, the most tired character (exhausted, about to pass out) is effectively blind from 4-5 tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, I never take any risks with a character who is more than simply a bit tired, since I already died in the past from not seeing a zombie coming from my right because my character was too tired. Still, he wasn't when the bug happened, and it happened twice. EnigmaGrey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Ah, shame then. Thought we might have been on to something, as similar behaviour was observed by Sasha and Fenris when tired. Will keep plugging away at it. Dwight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Sasha was able to get a video of it. So yeah, definitely not moodles. Dwight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 https://projectzomboid.com/blog/2018/09/beeverdoid/ " EP has also made improvements to alleviate longstanding woes with zombies appearing in your vision cone all-too-late in large buildings like the Mall" Nice to know it's in progress guys, good job!
