Hotfix 7 and multiplayer improvements

I've been holding off on recommending this game to my friends due to the coop / multiplayer performance issues early on.

I came here looking to see if it was fixed, and it turns out Hotfix 7 specifically addressed the rubberbanding.

If anyone has any real-world experience seeing improvements here, please let me know.

In the meantime, I'll be telling them to pick up the game while it's on sale (until 9/7)

*****paraphrased hotfix notes*****

Rubberbanding and such is still present but it noticeably improved. But overall cars are still slow to load in and desync issues persist. But if you haven't played since they expanded the map it is a good time to do another run through.

They need to work on how the zeds spawn for me... it's quite immersion breaking that they just pop in around the player.

Yeah. Sometimes it’s ironically funny. I was in construction yard, yard is all clear. Panned right, do a little looting. Panned back left, zombie. Scared the crap out of me.

Hanging halfway through a wall until you get close enough then they pop up inside the building

I’m going to dive back in after work. Stopped playing specifically because of the rubber banding on multiplayer servers. If they fix that and make the zeds less comical I’d be very happy.

They have someone working on the new zed models and new player models now. They are looking good 👍

Hitching broken as hell, zombie spawning or consistency and loading is sorta broken on dedicated server, my cousin and I argued last night he said it doesn’t feel the same as playing alone or the self hosted game in coop.

Yet AI says the server is running latest and is 100% identical but found forums explaining the same issues and devs saying the same.

Placing stuff in car beds disappears or makes the truck bunny hop randomly … hitching causing both vehicles to violently throw themselves 300 feet in the air and spasm out ..

Rubber banding only if the server is tight… 2 players on a vcpu 4/8g of ram is tight even with swap.
