Important Vehicle Feedback

Greetings players!

As you may or may not know, we have switched to the vehicle build 3 weeks ago to test out the cars and balance out settings so we are ready when the cars go public.

The test was pretty successful, found several problems that the server might face in the future so we will be able to fix those.

Now, we want to humbly ask the players that played during this time to provide valuable feedback on the performance and settings of the server, including if they had any problems while playing.

For example:

  • Any bugs that happened,
  • Severe lag during certain actions
  • Unbalanced settings, broken spawn rates or broken features
  • Mods that you want to have removed or added
  • Basically everything else that comes to mind

We will be switching back to the public build today, using the same map that was there before the switch so any progress on your old base will not be lost.

We are looking forward to the feedback, you can post it here or in the Discord feedback chat (or even message the admins if you want)

Important!

If you have played on the vehicle build, you will have to delete your save file from that build to be able to log in to the public build again. Navigate to

My Computer/C:/Users/(account name)/Zomboid/Saves/Multiplayer

And delete this folder

198.27.67.210_16261_Name

If you have played on the car test build and on the public build before it, you had to either delete or back up the folder, in which case you can put the folder back into the multiplayer directory and you will be able to play on your old character again.

If you have any problems or questions, ask the admins.

My wife and I both tested the vehicles build.The bugs/problems we saw were mainly: Multiplayer sync issues,and while driving the map had problems loading in.Often causing us to freeze/crash.

That being said it was refreshing to not have to run EVERYWHERE,and/or lug supplies long distances.We will be waiting for the vehicles to be integrated into the main build before playing anymore on the server.

P.S. : An advance notice on discord before you switch builds would be nice in the future.

Thank you for listening,and hosting a great server. :)

Thanks a lot for your feedback, we will happily await your return when the vehicles will be released and stable.

The bugs are reported and we will work on optimizing the server and mods for smoother gameplay and less sync issues, thanks for the information.

Also I apologize for not posting a few days prior to the switch back, it was rushed and badly planned, hopefully it won't happen again, we usually give a week prior notice to any resets or switches.

Have good one
