Console Zombies Spawns Bugged

So many people with this issue. Hopefully we can get a response soon 

We are working on finding a 100% repro case so we can figure out what is broken. Programming has sifted through the areas of code and do not see any links between the zombie spawn status and player functions. It seems like an easy repro, but no one on our team has gotten it to happen. We've all been playing and switching zombies ON/OFF for almost two weeks now.

There are some other changes in the works to get us additional information on errors on the backend reporting that should help us narrow this down. No release date for that or any other patches at this time.

I just had this happen to me, except, we started playing without Zombies on, and we all built bases. We just turned them on to try out our builds, and exact same thing as above happened. Fully encumbered, can't run, jump, crouch. Drone ignores us, except we can still enter inventory. I tried restarting many times, and when I turned off zombies we could enter like normal again. Ill try turning them back on and see if maybe they start working again tomorrow when my friends can get back on.

 

Same, issue started with zombies turned it off to finish a base and when I enabled zombies again poof can't run, jump or use ant weapons.

I love this game so much and as a console player, I’m so happy that they re-released the game and was enjoying it way too much until I ran into this bug also, really is a game breaker

I agree 100 percent it's pretty much minecraft until it gets fixed lol

Can u please find a way to fix this. This game is to good to give up on it like this. 

The mods keep saying they can't reproduce it but they must only be trying on PC because it's happening without fail on console no matter what the settings are. It's completely game breaking so I've given up playing until it gets fixed.

I tried turning on and off the zombies over and over again seeing if it would "suddenly" work for me, but to no avail. Hoping a fix comes soon

Any news on fixing this bug i really want to play but i cant because of this bug

Just this morning we found a 100% reproduction for this issue and are already testing a potential fix.

Good news is that the fix "should" allow you to continue your save games. Test underway now to verify.

No patch release date at this time.

I played around with this bug a bit today and noticed when I found a single zombie wondering alone with zombies off it disappeared when i turned zombies on. However I turned zombies off and it reappeared in the same spot it was before. Is this due to the zombies spawns being based on two separate conditions within the code?

Yeah. We have some clean up work to do with the zombie ON/OFF option. We noticed while testing the encumbrance bug that biome and cop car zombies are still spawning. Will have to get the current patch out and work on the clean up of that option at a later date.

Somebody give this man a raise. Man you been very helpful with keeping us in the loop and for also helping us enjoy this amazing game experience to be better. Thank you man

same over here the game load no zombies after on off (enemy spawning)  please fix this error on xbox 

Im wondering if the zombies is why my game takes 4 or 5 times of closing it and reloading to let me in after i hit spawn it makes the shounds and wont go past building environment i have to close my game out alot and restart it just to get in my world i had zombies on from the start

Ok so I’m not the only one, I’ve been playing for weeks waiting for zombie spawn problem to get fixed but today it’s stuck at building environment. Ive tried 3 times so far but hopefully I can get back on at some point. With zombies would be a big plus as I am stacked with ammo and have not even experienced a blood moon yet lol

there is a update for xbox 4gb the zombies on off is now working if you have update your game restart your console en then is de game working very good thanks guys 

It's also been patched on PS5. Works fine now. Thanks mods!

Glad to hear it has resolved the issue for you guys. Moving this over to fixed. For those still having the issue, please make sure you are updated to V1.0 b336 (version shows up on top right corner of the game)

If you have other issues please open a new bug report. Thank you!
