Now you are just trolling lol. Lots of stuff break from build to build even from changes not directly related to each other. I will concede the last word to you though if it makes you feel better. 😄

Yep, that is one of the dangers of modding in code that was commented out. Chances are the commented code was not tested by QA in the numerous builds leading up to the A20 release. Point being, just because it wasn't your code, doesn't mean it should work without issues.

I am not intimate with the code in question but perhaps that is one reason why its not implemented in vanilla yet. Its not fully tested and/or there are issues with it. It seems the doom is fine for now so hopefully things are good for now. 😎

@Doomofman I found your inquiry to Khaine here. Just because he says it works for him and others that doesn't automatically mean its not a mod issue. The error you are getting is definitely a XUI error which tells me its probably related. My best advice to you is to disable/remove the mod, revalidate your files and retest. If you continue to get the errors with the mod disabled, then repost your new output log in your bug report so we can continue investigating the issue. If it only happens with the mod enabled, then it is definitely an issue with it or how you are installing the mod.

I read your bug report and log. Actually your NullRef is probably because of your xui mod. Also the QA rep. Referred you to the mod author for help. Did the mod author tell you otherwise? NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at XUi_FallThrough.Update () [0x00031] in <2ba1bc1bbbe64fe49f53fe5235fb7038>:0

Also to add, lots of new lot_industrial POIs were added that make good starter bases. There is also another thread someone started of their favorite A20 POIs to take over. 😎

All of those were probably updated because they hadn't been in a long time and not because players were using them as bases. Would need to know what was changed specifically in them that you missed to be able to tell you why. Edit: for example, most of all of the old vacant lot POIs were replaced with something new since they were so old and outdated.

Leave the politics at the door please. Also, the game is an early access, things will continue to change from Alpha to Alpha until the game is complete. As much as some people would like to think, the devs are not targeting players looking to ruin their fun. Bugs will arise and balancing is ongoing.

Happy New Year everyone! There are actually some survivor site POIs out in the wilderness that look like horde bases that failed. (E.g. spike traps, corpses, etc.) Not sure if player built horde bases will ever be added part of vanilla because they would look inconsistent with the rest of the POIs in the game world. However, I think it would be cool if there were POI versions of our electrical traps as that would make even more interesting survivor sites.

Have you tried the community compo pack? Apart from the very specific loot requirements and electrical traps, it has alot of experiences you are describing. @stallionsden should be able provide you more info.

Yep, they are also designed with multiple ways in/out and make for potential horde bases.

As fun as the dungeon POIs can be, we definitely want to add more remnants as well since those offer a different gameplay experience. The new restore power quest will most likely undergo some more gameplay improvements as well.

I encourage anyone who experiences a zombie pop within their view or late (especially in Single Player) to submit a bug report (see red banner above). You can take a screenshot of the POI that you are in very easily by pressing F11 and typing a comment. The screenshot will be saved in your 7 days to die directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Screenshots) and have the name and coordinates of the POI on it as well. Alot of the time, a sleeper volume can be adjusted to fix the issue, assuming the delay isn't because of a server issue (e.g. max alive reached).

Ooo sweet, you got the new remnant skyscraper there too...😎

Last time I checked it was roughly double line of sight and hearing. Lighting impacts line of sight though so if you are standing in a shadow it probably reduces their ability to see you as well.

It is also worth mentioning parts don't spawn within the editor > playtest. To test them out, you will need to load your POI / tile in an actual game.

New doors and windows like the cellar doors, roll up doors, and shutters can be shot through when they are partially broken. The older doors will get their pass once they are updated. I'm leaning more towards feral sense during the day since night time has running zed threat already. If playing with no bloodmoons, I'd suggest feral sense on all the time. 😁 I hear yah, there is a fine line between super OP aimbot AI that insta headshots you and blind bandits that can't shoot the broad side of a barn... I have faith in faatal and the programming crew....😎

We do, she is called Arlene lol..

Another thing to check is to see how much memory your computer is using when you start seeing the FPS issues. You can do this by opening your task manager (ctrl alt del > performance). I have seen the game tank major FPS once a systems memory has run out. I have 16GB Ram so this doesn't happen to me as much anymore but use to see it at times on my older laptop that had less RAM.

In A19, criticals / debuffs was only an early game problem that was mitigated much too quickly as you progressed. I feel medical supplies are more valuable now that criticals continue to be important past the early game. Steroids in particular are a godsend for sprains and broken bones.

Hmm, this sounds strange. That GPU should be more than enough even on high settings. My laptop is very similar. What happens when you use a lower resolution? On my MSI laptop with similar specs I have no problems getting 60fps in downtown areas. (1920x 1080) Also, silly question, is your laptop plugged into power outlet? Most gaming laptop GPS run slower when running on battery.

Day 2 ... having trouble finding a hammer though lol...

When it first was implemented, I tested it with the debug tool that shows what the AI is doing. It was cool to see them "investigate" a noise where it occurred then go "wander" mode. Line of sight is definitely enhanced as well as they would target me when facing me from farther away. A great feature that adds alot for those looking for a more challenging experience. 😁

I understand your pain, however I don't think the number of active AI entities and POIs is a fair comparison. Optimization in downtown areas is a work in progress. There was a major FPS optimization during streamer weekend and on the level design side, we are also making additional lighter weight (Verts/Tris) POIs to help performance in that district. I personally added a lighter remnant skyscraper for stable B238.

The Corona Wipes branding was actually introduced in A19 so its not new. It is an item on one of the many lootable hardware shelves. However, as someone who has experienced the effects of the virus directly or indirectly, I can understand the negative feelings towards it.
