Kalex Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I think a cool book would be one that documents the fall of civilization. "At first we thought these aberrations were like the plain and simple "zombies" of pop culture lore. However, we couldn't have been more wrong. Whatever metamorphic process has changed them to bestial feral monsters has also hardened their flesh and bones and caused them to ooze or in some cases actually vomit highly acidic fluid. They can pound their way through wood, stone, and even metal as it dissolves and breaks down beneath their acid secreting fists. They are relentless in their hunger for human flesh. In that way they are what we expected of zombies but these creatures are as far above zombies as a rabid wolf is above a cocker spaniel puppy." Then FINALLY we would have some established lore to help all the Romerophiles finally make the leap over their immersion gap and maybe stop posting to tell us what zombie-like creatures should or should not do... ;-) I like this idea.

archergod Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The idea of book is cool, but can you make a Separate READ Queue, so books are not read immediately, but it take 4-5 game hour to read and process book. This way you won't get superman as you came out of bookstore, as you read and process 4 books per game day at max. it is just to simulate real life reading and stopping player to become super better with just click of button.

OK, but 7 days to die can have their own zombie story - there must be one. The cave under the huge mansion "HCO" that has GOT to be part of a story of it all surely... I guess it is hard to chose which way you are going to go with that Can I just say, thanks for all the work that has gone in to a17, TFP rock!

Brandox471 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Just mentioning, I have posted this on the bug forum but not correctly I guess. Anyway, I absolutely love this game and have been playing it for a while now. Yet ever since 17.1 came out I have been unable to play it for more then 45 minutes at a time as it freezes my pc up. No other game does this. Then I took my PC into a different room that was much colder and was able to play it without issue. So evidently this game and no other is heating up my video card. I was wondering if there was any thoughts on a fix besides buying another video card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if there was any thoughts on a fix besides buying another video card? If 45 Minute of game play freeze your video card, then you definitely need to look to cool video card down. Some games are high on calculation some are not. You need to add additional FAN or maybe water cooling to your system. Or simply just remove the case from your PC so fresh air came in easily, provided you have clean environment around. Cleaning your PC every 3-4 month might help as well. at worst, simple pause game for 5 minute, after 30 minute of play, and then start your play .

Pico Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 So evidently this game and no other is heating up my video card. I was wondering if there was any thoughts on a fix besides buying another video card? Yeah, I've been having the same issue. If you have any software that came with the card - get it running and see if it can give you some control over the fan speed. My card was stupid enough to leave the fan on a low speed despite getting up to 90C and suffering numerous resets before I discovered the issue (seems the fan speed is software dependant, rather than built into firmware (the height of stupidity). Now I can play with temps not exceeding 60C with the fans going at 80% of max. I get some artifacts, possibly from permanent damage done to the card (thanks, Pimps), but no more resets. Any other game and it runs cool, with zero artifacting. It's just 7D2D that is brutal to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real zombie is * a weaker Human *Weaker bones and skull * not able to smash a wood door * Walks only * works as song as the brain is intact * Solar driven ? (can rest very long in darkness) * So damn infectious that one scratch or bite will kill every human But 7D2D´s interpretation,... i can life with, mostly ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringkeeper Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I finished my thoughts as i read "porno magazines" well, even World of Warcraft has "porn magazines" in the game... and thats rated PEGI 12 ..... but, yeah, they are kinda well written https://wow.gamepedia.com/A_Steamy_Romance_Novel So, something to read in the nights where you want to stay in your base and have nothing to craft, would be nice. At least, if you want and don't have to read... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maynard69 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 show me a video of you destroying blocks (wood,concrete etc) with your bare hands (let alone rotting ones lol) I have no clue what you are talking about. I am not a fictional zombie, what I can do is irrelevant. Also I have lots of pics of me breaking through wood as a child during martial arts training. In relation to the game, it would make sense that as they break a block their limbs get ground down to nothing, and they could only get through concrete with a group hitting the same block. But then where would the threat be, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if there was any thoughts on a fix besides buying another video card? Also check if all your fans are still working and turning when the PC is on. Don't use anything metallic to test this, use your eyes and a lamp. Or a wooden pencil if you really can't get a view. The 45 minutes seem to indicate that your PC is slowly heating up. Doesn't sound like a hardware defect of GPU or CPU but more like a failure to get the heat out of the case. So maybe clean the air filters possibly installed in your case. If this doesn't help, speed up the fans (in the BIOS) or add new ones (but make sure they support the current airflow direction). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if there was any thoughts on a fix besides buying another video card? Let me get the obvious out of the way first: No game can heat up a video card beyond it's design specs aka running under max load. Now the #1 thing to do is to get all the dust out. That can seriously hamper cooling. After that it's hard to tell. Bad air flow / positioning of devices in the case? An extra fan for the case would certainly be tons cheaper than a new video card.
