Performance buffs Spoiler Thank trader bob! this info is from GNS but since he went to twitch con, is one of the biggest 7DTD youtubers and he talked to the Devs i say hes pretty much trusted The game has increased in performance by 5% and in citys it has increased by 20%, the cities have been boosted so much because of the new "Window Tinting system" Windows when you are far away will tint/fog up and this makes it so stuff doesn't render, but when you get close they clear up near seamlessly and it shows all the stuff inside, This will help alot in stuff like Sky scrappers and banks, Places with alot of windows will be much better to run! the main reason is for consoles but it will also help in PC as well! Massive credit to GNS for these pictures/videos Console News Spoiler ITS BEEN 69 YEARS! console should be coming out around the same Time as Alpha 22 and it should be the exact same as the PC, all the stuff announced. we should be getting cross-platform for PC, Xbox and PlayStation The game is going to be re-released, so yes you will have to buy it back, But they are trying to find a way where people who bought 7DTD on console should get it much cheaper the platforms will be PlayStation 5 and Xbox seires X and S not the old console versions, those consoles. There is a video of Full-gameplay down below, and it looks GREAT! give me a copy please Unfortunately there will be no spit screen.

New Player models not only match now with the games graphics but they have updated animations to go with it. this also goes well with the new armor system! from what we know so far, we might be getting player bodies but be able to Updated stuff like Hair, hair color, facial hair, etc Animal models Spoiler HOG KILLIN TIME! New pig Model is being added, we don't know if this is a new animal or it will be replacing the hog! and New grace model,,, LOOKING SCARY but still wonder if we are keeping hogs Zombies Models Spoiler THANK F- (Words i can't say on the forums cuz i get banned lol) So they are making it so zombies spawn in diffrent colors in terms of cloths so we aren't going to be fighting the same zombie 9X over. also new gore system coming to all zombies | | New POIs Spoiler BOB THE BUILDER CAN WE FIX IT? So far we have gotten a tease of 3 new POIS, a New hotel, A army base and a cool little coffee shop for those Pumkin spice people.....

You guys can thank Faatal for that qol change" - @Laz Man QA member of TFP New Gore Spoiler Groovy! New gore system being added for what seems all new zombie types and even a New damaged Head feature! RWG changes Spoiler Added RWG preview camera moves 10x speed with shift key and clamps near ground. Changed RWG preview camera move up/down to camera relative and C key also moves down. Added RWG preview left click resets camera. Fixed RWG preview camera jittering when looking past down and move rate varying with FPS. Improved RWG Creation UI layout. Added RWG highways can path across and carve into mountains (steep slope check often made no road!). Added RWG country road corner smoothing (50% of highway). Improved RWG road smoothing, blending and processing speed. Fixed RWG road pixel precision (was offset and dirt edges not consistent). Fixed RWG road line segments adjusting the same and/or missing pixels (starting point circles now in line segment loop. uses ids not colors). Changed RWG preview texture to full res at default and point filter. New RWG biome generation algorithm (seed biomes around a circle and grow each in a square ring that searches out from the middle of each side but skips if not adjacent to same biome). Moved RWG wasteland biome to the center. Improved RWG biome default percents and limited min/max range. Improved RWG biome filler stamp (more square, to edges and 128 size).

Unknown/Coming later Spoiler Womp womp womp This is stuff That we only ETHER heard or are at least coming this alpha or next New Weather, Not much is said about it. perhaps its a way to make it more dangerous, new coat of paint, we don't know Possible Delay New UI, from the twitch con Videos we have seen, the UI hasn't been changed as far as we know. Possible Delay Radation, radiation in places like the wasteland and maybe adding a ANTI rad Drug in the game. again little is know :?Possible Delay Bandits: BANDITS HAVE BEEN DELAYED! pushed back to at most Alpha 23/gold. so far we got a few kinds, White river and Dukes cazadors, White river is more a millila/millitary theme while Dukes Cazadors are more Tribal and Madmax like. We know in code there will be 3 kinds of Bandits (Melee, Ranged, and leaders) They are planning on adding stuff for them like ducking and cover, them attacking you on route to a mission or after your missions. Story, DELAYED Not much to say we know its with Duke, and Noah and we got some POIs of Bases they have, aside from that! WE DON'T KNOW Telepo- i mean Helia pad, We don't know if this is coming but basicly its a fast travel system from trader to trader and maybe even the Story bases locations. aside from that..... say it with me! we don't know.

THAT GOES FOR EVERYONE! Haha I see what you did there! BUT! Since this is the Alpha 23 thread now, you should probably also fix the first paragraph. Quote Welcome to the alpha 22 FAN diary, this is a Forum filled with all the stuff We know for a FACT!! that is coming to Alpha 22, and with stuff that might be coming to Alpha 23 or beyond (lets hope not). As im high of my rocker on Pre-workout im ready, the Question is! Are you? Those should say Alpha 23, 23 and 24 respectively, otherwise it might not make sense with now "fixed" title of the thread, but then again when it comes to these Alpha, what makes sense anyway, right?

zombiehunter Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 While they're working on all of this new stuff, I hope they address and fix all of the bugs in the current Alpha: While driving, your vehicle hits an invisible wall and elevates into the air or bounces back. Sometimes it keeps happening and a restart of the game is required. Suddenly dropping through the ground. Zombies clipping into the ground, you can't see them, only to suddenly jump out of the ground right in front of you, hitting you while they're at it. The ridiculous reach of the Zs. The Zs ability to hit you through solid walls. Vehicles and the drone simply disappearing. Drone pathing...it's pretty bad. These are all off the top of my head. I don't mean to and I hope nobody takes it this way...I am not trying to hijack this thread. My point is that while they are adding new content, which is great, I hope that simultaneously they are addressing the bugs that exist now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hitting nothing while you're in the air in the gyrocopter.... What can I say? I don't ever get those "hitting nothing" events with my current PC and my current server, but I got them for example when I had a rented server with much less performance and with much less RAM than my current one (in fact performance problems were one reason why I switched servers, once from a managed game server to a bare virtual machine, then from that virtual machine to a more powerful virtual machine). What would you suspect then if you were in my shoes? Also notice that I didn't claim that I know the cause, I just said I suspect performance or network might be a more probable cause. At least I think that "...sound more like..." is equivalent to suspecting, right? Also notice that we probably know the surface reason why this is happening: If your game can't load the information of the next chunk/area in time for you to enter that chunk the game will just stop you and wait for the data (this we do know. If not you would simply fall through the world if in a ground vehicle as the game has no knowledge at that moment where the ground is!). Now think about reasons why this data isn't here in time. Sure, it could be a bug. But the easiest explanation that comes to mind is that somewhere in the path from server disk to server RAM to network card to network to your PCs network card to RAM was a slowdown. The gyrocopter by the way is the fastest vehicle in the vanilla game. If you have problems with the world not loading fast enough then you will see them most often in the gyro.

NekoPawtato Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 There is a bug right now with drone where it gets stuck/lost which then can cause players to hit invisible walls.
