Experimental Branch: 0.53 Discussion

Recommended Posts

Too many bugs in this release for me. Invisible zombies everywhere, one went through 3 shut doors in one house and that's after it went through doors at 2 other houses. How do they manage to break this all the time?

 

Half the time I couldn't pick up an item either. Oh well, will wait till they fix.

 

Those are actually all signs of desync and a bad client/server performance. Given that all exp servers where "fresh" last night, there's a chance that your end isnt running that well too, try to check that.

Thanks I'll give it another go later today, I was on the US Central first person server.

That new castle is also definitely going to be the new sniperspot for killing freshies. Its got a very good view of the coastal road and anyone running there will be compeltely oblivious that anyone is watching them until it is too late.

The views from there really are quite good. You can see for quite a distance, like way more than in most any other area of the map except the northwest and Three Valleys.

What Chain said. I was noticing this morning that door states are messed up again (i.e. closed/open and saying the opposite), hoping it's just from desync.

This version really does not like me. Played again today, with BE excluded from AV. 

 

I play for couple of minutes, discovering the ice-pick is pretty sweet and works well on walkers. Then I get 'session lost'. WTF. Never had that before.

I love the flare gun, I was standing on a cliff shooting flares off 

 

Enquiring minds want to know: can you set people or zombies on fire by shooting them with a flare?

 

EDIT:

 

Goddammit, now(1804 CET) all exp servers except one 3PP are down.

Saw someone shot w/ a flair in a video. He dropped like a sack of potatoes. Sadly, no flames.

I have/will removed large image posts that are not wrapped in spoiler tags.

 

(highlight the image(s) + 3rd tab from right Special BBCode/select spoiler).

 

                                                                                                          USE SPOILERS...

 

I totally forgot about using the spoiler thing in this thread..... :P

 

Thank you for edit, Bones.

 

Sorry, man!

 

I'm going to jump back in and see if I can't find a gun to match my ammos.

I have not tried that yet but it is on my mind for sure and the next thing I intended to try..

 

Oh well, exp being updated, so off to the grocery store for beans and canned peaches.

Looks like they are attempting to get more servers operational and then updating again. Glad to see more will be available (hopefully). I'm guessing the next few builds will be mostly bug fixes since they did a huge dump of content with yesterday's update.

I had some spare time this morning to test exp a bit. Got the chance to find lots of new items and I have to say that I love some changes. Shirts now take only 1 space of inventory instead of 4. The new raincoat colors are pretty sweet. It seems that throughout my time playing, I never encountered lag spikes, desync or anything that would interrupt gameplay. It's pretty stable for now.

 

As for the water pumps and drinking from streams, you just have to "cancel current action" everytime you take a sip. Was able to get hydrated very fast.

 

Can't wait to have a chance to get back into experimental!

Hmm, that works, huh? Good to know. I was basically just spawning -> exploring -> dying -> repeat last night :P My first life I got really geared up at the prison, but after I gave all my stuff to somebody and respawned to explore Skalisty, I never was able to find enough to sustain myself. Granted I wasn't looking very hard or in very many places, and I was in a hurry.

Unless they are known to be online, that can be a bit misleading unfortunately. Sometimes they will show up on the list as though they are available and they will display the player count, time, etc. that it last had before it was taken offline.

No footsteps for me, anyone else ?

At all? There is a bug that makes it sound like your footsteps are behind you, but I hadn't heard about silent footsteps. I was a victim of the former, last night on the prison island I was getting paranoid that someone was behind me all the time  :P

There's seems to be major changes in footsteps sounds. I got startled a couple of times at first, as there are now some directional "echo" when getting close to structures. At first I thought it was someone else. :rolleyes:

 

And I don't have any breathing sounds anymore, I dunno if it's just me.

Do you have any search filters set?

 

Sometimes the non-US servers took a while to show up on my list even if they had decent ping; I just had to be patient and wait an extra 15 to 20 seconds after the US servers appeared. This was last night. As of right this moment, it's possible that the others may simply not be on yet.
