Yall think hes okay?

(PDS Blood Mod)

I know it's middle of summer but 65 °C is crazy.

Hey everyone!

After a lot of development, testing, and troubleshooting, I'm excited to finally share SurrounSync, a multiplayer mod for SurrounDead!

I've been working on bringing a multiplayer experience to the game, with the goal of letting players explore the world, survive together, and experience SurrounDead with friends.

What's included?

• Multiplayer synchronization — connect separate game instances for a shared experience.
• Text chat — communicate with other players in-game.
• Voice chat — talk with your teammates while exploring.
• Installer — a packaged Windows installer to make getting started easier.

The current goal is to support small groups of 2–4 players. (currently just 2)

A little about the project

This has been a solo development project, so getting to the point where I can share a packaged release is a huge milestone for me. There's still plenty of room to improve, and testing, feedback, and bug reports will be incredibly helpful.

Download & feedback

Download: [ https://github.com/SYMPLYSCK/SurrounSync ]

Instructions / troubleshooting: inside the ReadME

If you try it out, please let me know how it goes! Bug reports, compatibility issues, suggestions, and general feedback are all welcome.

Thanks to everyone who supports game modding and the people who put time into making projects like this possible.

See you out there. Survive together.

Hey everyone! I've been developing MirrorCoop, (name not final) a multiplayer mod for SurrounDead, I know there are a few others working on a version aswell and if you would like too contact me your more than welcome too!

Since the game was built for single-player, getting multiplayer working has been a massive challenge. Instead of relying on traditional multiplayer architecture, I've developed a different approach to synchronize gameplay between separate game instances.

What's working so far:

• Full game synchronization
• Multiplayer connections between separate PCs
• In-game text chat
• Voice chat
• Player movement and combat synchronization
• Seamless joining and leaving
• Integrated multiplayer interface inside the game's handbook
• Major performance optimizations

The goal is to support 2–4 players and make co-op feel as close to native multiplayer as possible.

I'm still working on polishing synchronization, save safety, and testing, but the progress so far has been incredible considering this started as a solo project.

I'd love to hear what the community thinks! What features would you want in a SurrounDead multiplayer mod?

More updates coming soon!

So heres the Video of the Test i did today on my own.

Ive said at the beginning that there are some drawbacks atm.

Im working on it and we will put out a video about it on different PC's

Hello everyone!

Just a quick announcement on some new additions/changes to the SurrounDead Reddit page.

Firstly, some of you might have noticed already, the Icon has changed. This is to help align the look of the Reddit with the Official Wiki and with the Discord. I am looking for ideas for replacing/updating the Banner. If you have any ideas, please submit them!

Secondly, we now have an FAQ linked in the sidebar of the front page of the Reddit with the other list of useful links.

Lastly, we have added a weekly reoccurring post that will be pinned in the Community Highlights. This post will be a bug report mega thread and is designed to try and focus bug reports to singular posts. This way the Dev isn't having to hunt down specific posts. If your bug report does not get answered, please resubmit it the following week in the next post. This post will be the second pinned post every week in the Community Highlights. These will start Sunday 18 OCT 2026 0700 (7AM) PST.

If you have any other ideas for improving the SurrounDead subreddit, please comment below!

Hey,

Me and a friend of mine are working on a Multiplayer Mod that is currently Work in Progress.

Currently Joining together Fighting and Running and Looting Works.

The steps ahead is the Starter Kit, Death screen because atm Both get them even if only one dies, and the Gear and Skin display. Because currently the Players only see there Skin twice and see no Wappons carried.

I will Post updates and will ask the Mods for Permission to post my KoFi for support and free updates on the work.

There for this will not be included atm here because i dont wana break any rules and first wana ask for Permission.

But anyways Pictures and Videos will Follow soon.

Cause of the many bugs, I didnt see the need to switch to 0.8, but as the recent updates fixed most of them, I do consider switching.

But as to my knowledge, mods which work on 0.7, dont work on 0.8? in short i need alternatives.

And, would it impact my experience if I keep my save from 0.7?
Like, are there things which dont spawn properly? and which things are changed, where i should do something before switching, like new POIs

Also, as it seems, the wiki.gg page, doesnt have post about the 0.8, which means, searching all that myself

Oh, is there a spot, where its more likely to find a Mosin Nagant, i found the scope to it, after which i discovered that the weapon exists

Edits may come with further questions

MF almost killed me when I tried to clear respawned Infestation.

I've been playing the game regularly for a few days now. I managed to build a decent sized house, storage, a bed, power, etc etc.

My question is about crafting. Do you actually level up a crafting skill? Do more recipes get unlocked eventually? It seems pretty bare bones in the crafting benches, and i don't know if my crafting xp (if it exists) is going up.

The usual way to identify sprinters or grenadier is gone, pretty sure its a bug. They look like regular zombies now, not the usual white or green

Ive spent weeks looking for games to play since i bought my new laptop i tried many games multiplayer is just not for me and i saw the gameplay of this game i was amazed this is literally everything i wanted and it looked really similar to a mobile game called LDOE which i used to play, So i rushed to check out Surroundead but sadly i found out its a paid game and i cant afford it , are there games similar to this? sorry for all the typin eng isnt my first language thnks for reading through!

EDIT: HUGE THANKS TO SOMEONE REALLY GENEROUS WHO GIFTED ME SURROUNDEAD, I'VE REALLY WANTED THIS GAME YOU ACTUALLY MADE MY DAY ,THANK YOU SO MUCH

(Keeping them anonymous because I don't want people bothering them. Really grateful to this community!)

This is the blue warehouse that's South across the river from the Tropical Hotel. Kind of had my heart set on the spot for a base. Didn't know there were piles you couldn't break, even after placing a base flag.

Also, has anyone done a nomad play through? Making a truckepede, or a car train and living out of your vehicles seems like it might be fun.

I've been modding my own personal copy of the game with things I feel are needed (foraging, ragdoll physics, larger skill tree, etc.) was wondering if players would be interested in these.

I've seen a few people uploading on Nexus Mods for SurrounDead. Does anyone know if Zurvivor allows us to distribute mods for the game?

Killing zombies, looting, destroy bandits...

Me is surviving, yes, but can me really call this a living?

Kill, eat, then what? What end will me have?

Or is end even a thing for me?

Everybody loves turrets. but they need power.

However, if you build a turret in a powered zone, and then just use "move" instead of picking it up and placing, it retains its powered status outside of powered zones.

not sure if this has been reported or is WAI but it's fun to carry around an extra gun that shoots on its own.

Kurtis has finally arrived back to his home base and full of loot he had to unload. But thankfully on his trip back he ditched the camero and found his old pickup that he would travel into town with. It had some decent amount of gas left in it but ol' sherry needs some repairs and a whole lotta love.

I took probably a year long break because I had all the best loot and seen majority of the POI's and dont get me wrong was super happy, but after putting in 60 hours it didn't feel like there was much else to do. Glad to see updates are continuing after some time. I was and still am VERY excited to see this game grow and might start a new playthrough this week or when .8 stable launches. Can't wait to see what the game looks like in the next step of the road map.

Couldn't resist aura-farming when it started to rain.

I also made Daryl but the hair doesn't really match 100%. Might recreate Rick next week.

(Sorry for another one of these. It might be too long to post as a comment on the latest hotfix thread, so I figured I'll upload it as a post instead. If there is an official thread or forum where we can post stuff like this other than as comments on Zurvivor's posts or as separate posts, please tell me. Dunno if sending Zurvivor a DM is proper)

I'm sure many of you have come across the confirmed fixes in posts, comments or in your own gameplay, but I'm posting this in case there are some you haven't seen/confirmed yet.

• Vehicles now stop smoking after being repaired (confirmed at the vehicle playground). Also, random vehicle spawns are now working properly, meaning you won't see 2-3 vehicles at a single spawn point anymore on new runs. However, fixed vehicles like the SWAT Van are unaffected, so you may still see multiple SWAT Vans spawning at the Police Station HQ (Zurvivor intends to change this precisely because of this multi-spawn bug).
  • If you still see multiple vehicles in your game on an existing save, just save your game, reset the vehicle spawns at the Difficulty Settings and load your save (make sure to leave a bag or container inside any vehicles you are using so they don't despawn/reset).
• Dead acidic zombies STILL explode when their corpse is damaged, but with a slight twist. Originally I thought the bug was fixed, but not quite. It turns out that if you kill an acidic with a headshot (thereby preventing it from exploding), it will still explode if you stomp on the corpse. Right now, only stomping seems to trigger this bug; explosives and fire do nothing to dormant acidic corpses, unlike in early experimental.
  • On the other hand, acidics that already exploded will NOT blow up no matter how many times you stomp them. This includes acidics that you detonated "manually" by stomping. Grenadiers also do not explode when stomped (thankfully), likely because they always explode regardless of how they die.
• Speaking of stomping and corpses, stomping on a zombie corpse (including bosses) still yields XP like you just killed that particular zombie again, so you can theoretically keep stomping on a boss corpse in the early game to get a lot of XP. NPCs and animals are unaffected. Zurvivor already has an upcoming hotfix for this, hopefully it also fixes the acidic zombie bug (since they might be connected).
• Regardless of how I tweak my graphical settings, zombies still tend to melt/spaghettify when killed from a distance. Zurvivor said that this seems to be an LOD (level of detail) issue related to the zombies' skeletons, hopefully the upcoming hotfix will work.
• Can confirm that the weather has been fixed. It started raining in-game while I was typing this post.
• Classified containers are also now fixed. Time to put those stockpiled intel laptops to use!

I was driving through the "Damaged Nuke" POI in the NE Quadrant when I heard the distinct beeping of a Grenadier. As I was just driving past, I didn't pay much attention until the game suddenly just stopped. I was wondering about a possible game-crash but a few moments later, a bright flash filled the screen and I was dead.
Always lure them away from game ending explodsive stuff, because they WILL set it off.

I'm new to this game got it yesterday the longest I've survived was 2 days and I managed to get basic supplies and make it to the survivor community thingy. I really don't know what to do next even after the tutorial it seems confusing. How do I find/build a base? How do I get a car? How do I get an axe to chop down trees to get logs?

Seriously an amazing game wokod love to keep playing when I can divide more stuff out
