You don't have the Steam Update option in your control panel? My host has that.

It's a known bug:

I'm confused. If both the stable and experimental branches are getting the same patch, then they are either both stable or both experimental. I thought the stable servers were going to stay on 0.63 for now.

Cars are buggy. By default, no cars spawn in the current version so if they are spawning on the server you are on, the server owner added them. You shouldn't expect them to work properly yet.

It's not always night and rainy my server. Maybe that's just the server's settings.

I haven't had any problem finding an appropriate amount of loot in the military buildings.

These are disabled by BI. Is there a reason they've disabled them? Are they not stable?

GTX Gaming has been great since I switched to them and their prices are reasonable.

Only thing that I experienced was that when I spawned in after the update, my players thirst was flashing red and my hunger was solid red. It wasn't that way before the update.

LOUD NOISES!

Yes I did. Luckily the ticket wasn't about an outage so my server was still working but if it had been an outage, I would have gone a day and a half without a server. I've been running servers for various games for 14 years now and I know the warning signs when I see them. Once I got an answer, their response was that they had a support person out sick and that caused the delay. One person out causes them not to answer a ticket for over 30 hours? That's bad.

Just an update. I moved to GTX. They actually have live support and a Discord server. Fragnet responded finally. They blame one sick employee on the 30+ hour delay.

Villayer has good prices, but it seems they have 1 support tech plus their "management". A number of my tickets couldn't be handled by the 1 guy that always replied to my tickets. He frequently had to assign it to the "management team" to take care of.

I left Vilayer because of their response times. Fragnet was a little more expensive, but I switched to them anyway because I've used them in the past and I have a Minecraft server with them that my son uses. I just checked Gaming Deluxe and they're even MORE expensive, $45 for a 30 slot server... Funny thing I found out when I switched from Vilayer, is that they must be using a loot table other than the current one because I started finding items on my new server with Fragnet that I never saw before. Anyway, I'm on about 25 or 26 hours now since I submitted a ticket about something with no response. Too bad it seems they don't really monitor their Twitter page and they have no live support. @Fragnet I'm talking to you!

Where did a vehicle come from in 0.63 experimental!?

Does anyone know what file I adjust and what settings I adjust in that file to increase or decrease the number of zombies, their strength and speed? This is for 0.63 experimental.

The settings in the pbo are different from what is in the events.xml. For example, the events.xml has the maximum and minimum zombies for that particular type and the pbo has the max and min for each zombie position. So I don't know what to think. Do I raise the min and max for each zombie position, do I raise the max and min for each type, or do I do both?

Nope. Not as of now.

My plan is to keep my server as close to vanilla as possible. I don't want to use any crazy mods. I'll be looking to increase the zedz and make other changes that will make it more challenging. I hate high loot, spawn with a gun type servers.

Is this method better than messing with the pbo, as previously described?

Ok, I looked at that file and what that contains is positions for zombies to spawn, along with the min/max to spawn. What I'd like is a way to globally increase the zombie count and toughness but I guess that isn't doable right now?

Why would someone let themselves be tied up in the first place?

Should that file be in the root folder? I can't seem to find it. *EDIT* Nevermind. I just re-read the response.

I read on Twitter that an update to the experimental version was coming out today with a database wipe. Does anyone know if this affects servers hosted by GSP's where we have access to the files or is it only on the official servers?

No one knows?
