A20 Streamer Weekend discussion

Post
    /u/ on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
On Monday, December 6th, 2021, Alpha 20 will be released to experimental. Before then, players interested in Alpha 20 can catch a preview by watching streamers play it this weekend. As with previous alphas, TFP have arranged for streamers that meet certain criteria to help generate buzz/publicity for the upcoming release, by streaming the experimental build starting later today, Friday, December 3rd, 2021.

Astute observers will note we will soon enter a roughly three day window when streamers will be playing A20, while the rest of the general public will not. People no doubt have a lot to say, good and bad, about this streamer weekend, so I’m starting this thread proactively to open the floor to discussion.

If you want to talk about the streaming weekend, here’s the place to do it. I want users to feel comfortable expressing both positive and negative opinions, but we do ask as always that the discussion stay civil and constructive. Flames and insults agai... Read more

MOVED: Latest experimental missing?

Comment
    Shurenai on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Opt out of all betas is and has always been the latest Stable build- Currently A19.6. The beta list shows past versions and, when applicable, the latest experimental which there currently isnt one.

02 Dec

STILL can't release A20 or even give an ETA?

Comment
    faatal on Forums - Thread - Direct

Actually, lots of games take many years and tons of alphas/betas, you just don't get to see it, because they are not early access.


I don't care how long a game took to make, as long as I got my money's worth. I buy plenty of normal games and have no clue how long they took to make. I buy some early access games and will sometimes play them right away if it looks far enough to be a good experience like I did with 7dtd years before I was an employee and I certainly got my money's worth. Other times I just wait for them to finish and then play to get the full experience like I did with Black Mesa. Now I could have just bought it when it was done, but it was a deal on sale, so I took the chance and just purchased it and then ended up waiting several years.

Not interested in Linux.


Have not had a BSOD since then. The BSOD error codes were vague. I have updated gfx drivers and windows updates, so you never know what may fix something.

No, but you can hope for it.


Big problems are like the game crashing. These 3 arlenes over here looking the same is not.

7 Days To Die: Fallout edition

Comment

We should acknowledge that experience is one factor here. The version of you that plays Alpha 19 today may have hundreds of more hours under their belt than the version of you that played Alpha 13/14. I know I do. Hence there’s a trove of working knowledge details you’ve picked up - like that sinks are a good source of wrenches, or the drop rate of an arrow - that you may not consciously think about anymore, which allow you to play more efficiently and aggressively. They actually set the default difficulty one level lower than it used to be, based on their assessment that the game had gotten harder.

I do agree that 7DtD’s standing as a survival game has lost a lot of legs, and I hope to see that restored so long as it’s billed as the survival horde crafting game. But for getting away from that throw-caution-to-the-wind, first person shooter style, try adjusting your settings, or mods as Jost Amman suggests. If you play on 25% loot and no loot respawn for instance, ... Read more

All our tinting is a way for a color value to be multiplied with a gray texture generally using a mask. The zombies may use it at some point, but art has to be changed.

Some MF are more "maybe fix". 😃


Seriously, though, a bunch are decapitation gore related and may get done in a 20.1. They don't affect the gameplay.

Haven’t played since last Christmas- what changed?
