Nevermind, my issue seems to be server related. When a server is freshly restarted, I run 60fps no worries.

Kleid, considering that these are only infected rather than undead, chances are it probably hasn't been going on for a long time, or they'd probably be starving out by now.

True. Once you get to higher end gear, it becomes no trouble at all. It won't affect that either way. It will make the newbie start just a tiny bit fairer. Zombies can easily hit you randomly through a door / wall despite it being fixed and when you only have 1 bandage to start and no more are spawning (though that might be a bug with the new patch), it's something that needs to be addressed imo. Plus there's the whole "realism" aspect of it, but personally I'd just be happy to not die from skinning my knee while trying to start over.

Something that's become fairly apparent after the new patch is that bleeding is a bitch. After you go through your first bandage, the next zombie that hits you is a death sentence. I was on 10k blood earlier and took a hit through a door and ended up dying (In no small part due to the hospital glass not breaking when I shot it). Unless the lore of the zombie apocalypse is that only hemophiliacs are immune to the disease, there needs to be a rethinking of bleeding mechanics imo. Something along the lines of - Hit for 4k blood, you will bleed for another 50% of the initial damage caused over X seconds (Numbers could be tweak, this is just an example). This still allows bandaging to be useful, since it saves you a lot of blood, but makes it a little more realistic and makes not having a bandage not end up a garunteed death sentence.

No... Spent 4 hours being shot by people before I could find a decent gun and gtfo.

Funny, I've not had a single bit of teamwork in the 4 hours I've played of it so far. The one guy who didn't shoot me on sight didn't have any ammo otherwise he probably would have. I was shot in the back while climbing down ladders, shot for my bandage, etc. I was shot 24 out of the 30 some times I died. The rest were due to hemophilia. apparently every survivor has it *shrug*

I see this tired ultimatum repeated on every gaming site I go to: if you are not with us on this unique/niche/special/non-mainstream FPS then you are a mouth-breathing, CoD playing, troglodyte. There is never any middle ground or spectrum of experiences with you peole. It's always binary: either you fall in line with our special FPS or you're a CoD lover. ("lawl! insert over-sized meme to drive my point home") I count 9 instances of the word "CoD" in your opening post alone. It's a lazy and sloppy way to get your point across. Yes, we all dislike CoD to some degree. But this obsession you people have with hating it, bringing it up at every opportunity to try prove your own superiority in gaming tastes is simply obnoxious. Please, have my fucking children!

Everything mentioned so far, I've done at one point or another. The game just runs like shit for me and I can't find any reason why *shrug*. It gets decent enough after a server restarts, so perhaps it's something to do with the servers. I've noticed on a few diff low-powered servers that I get about 15fps, but I hit atleast 30 in wilderness on big servers with good hardware after restarts. Also, turning everything up or down seems to make little noticeable difference in framerate for me. I changed from 1920x1080 down to 1280x720, messed with AA, etc and the game always seems to just be below running smooth regardless of the settings (feels like 25 - 30 fps).

[attachment=462] I gagged atleast 9 times while making this one.

I had something very similar happen to me the other night, was unable to run at normal speed even while standing, was spamming shift and double tapping W to try and get me to run. Nothing worked, I think I eventually committed sudoku (lol) by zombie.

So many sith in this thread. It's not like people are asking for night time to be a slightly blue tinted day time... There's a difference between ridiculous (what we have now) and what they're asking for (closer reality). Regardless of how hard the game is supposed to be, it's still a game and staring at a black screen is not any kind of fun. There needs to be even just a small amount of ambient light, so you can atleast make out there's a tree infront of you, instead of running for 10 minutes, not getting anywhere and not noticing until you pop a flare.

I would say yes, but you might kill me and steal my beans *shifty eyes*
