Exp Update: 0.60.+++

[emuthreat 2837]

I'm having a complete inability to join for the last hour.  It does the no feedback thing, which normally lasts for a minute upon joining, but it lasted for like ten minutes.  I repeated it a few times on different servers.  When I tried spamming a full server for five minutes, I got crashes when the "direct" black screen popped up.

Is anyone having these problems for the first time now, after having successfully played lots of time on exp from day one?

HAd similar issues but i went to bed after 1 hour of trying. Next day it was gone. Not sure if the computer restart fixed it or if it was caused by the game itself

[emuthreat 2837]

I just turned my computer on a couple hours ago.  It's mid-afternoon here, and I want to know why it is happening.  I'll try a reboot though, too.  Thanks.

Is the sound permanently dropping out for anyone else? Wondering if its the game or my drivers...

Mine did first time last night after an attack and I was running at full speed for awhile and then what sounded like an electrical short POP silence for 3 seconds, sound back..POP silence for 6 seconds..over and over for about a minute. I stopped and rested and it didn't happen again. Odd.

I had fun playing Sunday afternoon. Lots of server resets every ten or fifteen minutes. I finally got onto a 1p server and had a solid 45 minutes of game time. Spawned at night but I had trouble navigating. I could see the stars but didn't recognize any constellations. I have always been able to find the Big Dipper and other constellations in previous builds. I don't know if that's a different time of year in the game or my elevation. There seems to be more stars than I remember but that could just be me. When daylight came I killed a rooster with a Glock and skinned and quartered it with a hatchet. I looked for an axe to build a fire to cook the chicken, also to dry my clothes as I was constantly wet even if I sprinted for awhile and my temperature rose. Eventually I found a little village and was just picking up an axe when the sever crashed. Only graphical glitches I noticed during all this time was two or three lightning bolts out of a clear blue sky.

You can make a knife or if you find a knife you can get sticks from bushes with it and also lots of places to search for sticks with hands.

Yes, after a crash it was back when I got back on.

Believe it or not Bill, I had some good encounters with bambi's. Now to try anything with an axe or what ever would be dumb because I would've taken my SKS out and blasted them away. I engage them and then they have an option, either be friendly and speak to me or try to axe me with dead as consequence. It means they made their choice so I will make mine.

I once met a Bambi that didn't immediately try to punch my lights out. He asked me, very nicely I might add, to help him punch someone else's lights out!

That's the only exception that I can think of. Usually, they figure that they have nothing to loose, so if they can get in one lucky punch, it's all profit. Therefore, I'll only approach someone who has something to loose.

"This app is currently receiving high amount of traffic."

Since maybe before PAX I've seen this on the DB tracking website.

Interest isn't waning all that much....

It does seem to be "receiving high traffic" about 24/7 right now. Not only are people interested, they're obsessively interested :)

(Not that I'm innocent myself...)

Since the servers crash frequently, would it be possible to remove the spawn timer. It feels kinda unjust to force us to sit and wait for 90 seconds for something that wasnt our fault. Especially since it usually takes a minute or two for the game to start even after the timer has reached its end.

Still got the join, two minutes of play, kick, repeat dance a whole bunch last night.

The on forty-five minute run I got in was, interesting. My second 1pp guy was making his way south from Svetlo running the treeline just inland of the costal towns just hitting the few lone houses on the outskirts and deerstands. Saw a couple infected and players darting around Berizino as I past. When I got to the south end of Berizino I started to veer towards the water with the intentions of checking the last few houses in the south end by the highway. Heard a chicken and chased it like an idiot with my axe finally killing it after a short chase, cool no knife. Made a stone knife outside a house and ran back to get the meat from my chicken. I had no backpack or even a shirt with pockets so figured I'd check a couple houses including the one that I made the knife outside. I was pretty excited about the chicken and got sloppy, blast righ up the stars in the tan two story and I'm face to face with a nice guy, you could tell by the motorbike helmet and raised shotgun. Boom, boom and my screen flashes red twice, I figure there's half a chance I'm really dead and it's just lagging but make a run for it to find he just broke my arm and ruined my shirt, no blood. Pretty happy I survived and retreated successfully at this point I continue south. I pick up a blue check dress along the way through the docks at Solchiny and kill another chicken at the gas station. Now it's time to eat, I go out on a point on the beach with some bushes and start the process of building a fire step by step with no free inventory space. I'm just about to pick up my hand drill and get cooking, then foot steps, I turn around just in time to take a silenced pistol shot to the face.

Good times, nice people.

Back to the join kick dance for the rest of my evening.     

Sounds like a scared rabbit ran upstairs after being hunted down the coast by a rifle wielding maniac and his new spawn friend and then the scared rabbit blasted the new spawn when he came up the stairs "Take that sucker!!!" and ended up shooting BCBasher instead!! Sorry Bro! I'm very glad to hear I didn't kill ya. I really wish we had name tags. I shot a couple more people pushing my personal space before I was able to get into the trees and head northwest. That was the most shooting I have seen in the game ever in one night. Next time you see me you can shoot me :-D

From my experience they eat the people they kill on the beach and then they just need water.

Earlier I put together an album of newly enterable buildings in 0.60. There are three brand new interiors, and one building that was originally updated in 0.59 got some changes again in 0.60. It's here if you want to take a look: http://imgur.com/a/LAomU

For the record, that leaves us with two old buildings that still need an interior. They are:

1. Medium-sized white church:

2. Military barracks:

That sucks man. It's a shame you didn't encounter Luc Tonnerre and me last night. We helped lots of people and killed no one except for a lot of zeds. We did however almost kill a fairly new spawn but he put his Magnum away just in time. So it is possible people to get some nice encounters, except when you're around the airfield I guess. In Grishino I took some potshots but judging by the horrible aim it was a Sporter 22. Luc and me flanked around and yep there we found 2 buddies, one with a Sporter and one with an AK. If they didn't look Luc's way we would've killed 'em both but Luc took some shots, missed and his weapon jammed. Was funny because when I got sniped some person in the police station started yelling "Why are you shooting at me" while I didn't at all. Some random sniper did and he wouldn't believe me. All in all, I had a fun night. :)

Great video! Ya, I didn't know there was a water pump a couple doors away. I have run thru this place lots of times and never seen that water pump, until last night. It's interesting to see what you saw. I never saw you come up the stairs because of lag, you appeared at the top of the stairs like a teleportation and I only saw you backing up. I was standing still at the top of the stairs pointing down and the video shows me moving. I moved into position when I heard steps downstairs and it was at least 10 seconds of standing still.

I assumed it was someone who watched my chicken chasing and was waiting for an easy kill. I could hear your footsteps upstairs when I watched the video after but I had no idea in the moment because I was so excited about the chicken.

Had two short friendly encounters tonight and my mic is not working in game yet it's clearly working in my video recorder. Got to see some of the new infected they sure look and move better, seem to not do much damage though. I was just checking some out in a t-shit and tennis shoes so I didn't fight them, 1 or 2 seem to be pretty easy to kite around without them teleporting all over.

Would be really nice to be able to discern the Milky Way Galaxy.  It is a pretty distinguishing navigation feature that has been completely left out.  It's early yet though, so I have hope.  Night looks so much better than before and the sunrises and sunsets are a lot smoother in spite of the accelerated time compression.  I am not blinded anymore by the nuclear sunrises we used to get over Svetlo..

[Excanto 336]

I could hear you kill the chicken and thought..geeze, those guys are killing everything...even the chickens. The bullets are flying at NW Airfield and the town to the north of there is echoing with gunfire. I think the weird sound glitch with zombies is getting into the gunfire sound, because it sounds like someone is firing very close to me and I am looking way across a field at the nw airfield.

Seems there's a newish city building too, I've only seen it once and that was in Novod, used to be the doors would not open.  It's up the street from the grocery store on the east side of town

They changed the inventory sizes for some submachine guns, the Skorpion now only takes 6 slots! Now it just needs to be able to be folded and stored in a pistol holster and it might become my new favorite sidearm!
