[msy 11]

Wow what? They will fix the bugs and then its good the next day so.. wtf? If you got no idea what you are talking about then just dont say anything or try to understand it.

 

Haha!

You wait for the new patch delayed for 3 days to welcome the "fix the bugs and then it's good so wtf"?

Are you so zombielized that you lose your own mind? Which time do you think any team of BI has a fine debug level through delaying the releasing time to guarantee its quality? How long have you been playing BI's game? LOL

What was added today?

[ibherb 38]

So am I right to assume the only new things added are three pistols ; a crappy bb-gun esque rifle and the ability to spray paint a few of the older weapons?

Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down man. The .22LR is a man killer in real life. The game hasn't done it justice. :|

[Gekkonidae 270]

If it didn't come out today they will just add more in when they do patch stable. I would just chill. It will be here. In the mean time, I've already scored a ruger on the exp :D

 

Does anyone have a side by side comparison of what exactly changed? I know I saw someone do that a few other times.

Machetes kill zombies faster in this game the then .22LR so ; I dropped it as it was a complete waste of a gun slot.

Nice work,

fps has improved from ~15 or less to 22-24 near cherno skyscraper, so its kind of playable.

 

Zombies seem to be a bit laggy/slow but they hit hard and are plenty.

 

I could reload while using alcohol on my wounds, and it feels like too much weapon cleaning kits spawn.

Also when i was like 100-200 m away from zombies and was eating and cleaning my wounds i constantly dragged new zombies to me.

[savini 587]

There were a number of fixes and changes.

 

Check out the change log for a complete list of changes in the patch.

[Ellen Ripley 71]

Waiting for 1 Month. Now Version 0.42 is the same as 0.37.

The differenz between 0.35 and 0.37 was big. Differenz between 0.37 and 0.42 is nothing! Could be renamed to 0.38. Tzzz

See my previous post as why the version number is so much higher

 

What was added today?

  

What are the changes exactly? I have seen a few of them already like different ammo. But is there a changlog somewhere? What changed?

See this post

Btw: Thanks for the beans

[Dreypa 98]

 

THANK YOU!The main changelog should be updated like that ; it was hard to decipher what was in .37 as opposed to .42.

[duude 12]

I got hit by an invisible zombie twice on different sessions on the grey house with the black piano on the hall. It was on the top level of the house, when the zombie followed me up the stairs.

Bug probably easy to replicate.

Bor/Бор.

Where is this locality/village on map? Which coordinates, 033 114 or ?

Or you were hit by a zombie below you.  As far as I know, the zeds can't go up those stairs yet.

[w00kie 42]

 

 

 

Would be good if they updated the log and changes like this. So we can get a very clear idea of what has been added in the different builds or taken away at least.

[entspeak 374]

I don't know what the coordinates for Bor are, but it's the town immediately north of the coastal town of Komarovo, near Balota.

[Gekkonidae 270]

So testing the ruger, it is not a super powerful gun at all. takes 2 head shots on zeds. It's as expected as it is a .22. It should be nice for quiet hunting without getting caught when animals come out though. It is VERY quiet. You can barely hear the shot standing right next to it, compared to other guns. 

 

I did run into a glitch about every 8 or 9 shots when the bullet shell wouldn't disappear and i had to manually eject it and reload another (jammed gun? lol) but all in all I like it. I'm not sure if you're supposed to be able to spray paint it yet either. It lets you put the can on it and goes through the animation to paint but it doesn't paint it at all. I'll be reporting these things.

[solodude23 649]

Agreed. I was glad someone put the effort into it as I certainly wasn't gonna do it, haha.

zombies can crawl upstrairs, pretty smart folk they are.

yeh, hahah - it's more like a shooting gallerie gun - like the "sporty .22" is a toothpick - quiet nice!

lol i havent gotten to try it yet, it shouldnt take two headshots unless the devs gave it the wrong damage

[mareak 50]

Join experimental just now. Spawn at Svetlo and got my self a UN helmet not bad. Guess one can be a remnant of UN forces later on.
