7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

With a 9 year old CPU, you should not have anything above medium and probably some settings on Low. My old 4790K needs medium/low settings to be playable. The 980ti at 720p should not be an issue.

Many Unity tasks have to be on the main thread and there is a fair amount of load on the graphics thread. That means those other 2 cores can not contribute to that load, which is why you typically see less that 50%. Your GPU use would not get that high, because it draws a frame and then is waiting on the main and gfx threads to finish the next frame.

Try using the console command "gfx g fps 200". That will show a graph of FPS, which may show short drops that do not appear in a single averaged FPS number.

I've only been to T4s by now but I can avoid the mad rush quite reliably. Close a door to buy time and hide a few rooms over, then come back.

I know it "takes forever" compared to the M60 approach. =P

Inside/outside a land claim?
That's the only thing I can even imagine making a difference.

I have played maybe 100 hours of A20 and it's incredibly rare for me to get any debuffs. I think there was one time when I had 3.

And if you're playing something like insane/nightmare then you should be the one giving advice here. =P

I do make sure I have a way to run and don't use up all stamina in case I need to make use of it.

You can never get any such debuff on the first (and often 2nd) hit from enemies. That only happens when you stick around in a bad situation.

Fall traps rarely get me for some reason and if that keeps being a problem I would suggest looking at the perception attribute.

Yeah! More gunpowder!

It's the other way around for me. Use the crossbow all week long and then whatever gun to shoot whatever ammo I got during the week.

I would not go by what happened on first or even second horde night. Those are not meant to be that hard.

There is no simple answer. There are a ton of different CPUs and GPUs combined with the various video and graphics settings.

A20 is basically the same as A18 from an engine standpoint, but with a newer version of Unity, some optimizations and additional features like dynamic mesh, dense cities and updated world content.

What CPU, GPU and memory do you have? What graphics resolution are you using?

They do target structural supports in a generic random sense. They do not do full scans up through every block to you because it would be slow.

Same rules as A19. Overall spawn rates have changed, but not specifically for vultures.

I did and then my daughter and I just finished 5 hours of 7dtd. On day 14 now.

Stop forcing me to reply!

Sorry, but not that exciting to me. I would not work on it anyway. Now adding the raft or a helicopter, that would be exciting and I would be working on it.

I don't know why not since I have not heard anyone mention it.

Not that I know of.

We have some new engineers coming on board in January hopefully optimizations will be robust enough for you guys to enjoy larger servers again.
In the meantime, have you tried disabling the new dynamic meshes? I imagine 50 castles being erected at the same time and viewable from miles away could cause a hit in performance.

Can you guys describe how you play the game with 50 players? Is it pvp... or coop? Is it a large building community? What is the typical use case for servers this large? How many total players and how many are online when you start seeing FPS drops?
