Great update, prison pathing issue

Great update, prison pathing issue

I know you said there may be issues with pathing in prison, but in case you are looking for where the issues are here is a screenshot. Fatty got stuck behind the fence

Absolutely loving this update so far. I have to ask though...what's with the flashlight nerf? It's barely even noticeable anymore. It's nice not having it blind you during ZED time, but it just isn't very useful anymore. I don't understand why this change was made. Please change it back.

On a positive note: THANK YOU for changing night vision to require holding the F key. Having to double tap F to get the flashlight was extremely annoying, and I'm glad that clunkiness is a thing of the past.

Off document changes:
- There is no longer a multiplied degree of view kick when opening fire during mid-air, except for shotguns.

"Removed recoil kick when jumping and firing (does not affect boomstick jumping)"

Crossbow bolts seem to have some funky things going on with their hit detection at times. I literally shot 4 bolts through a crawler next to me before I realized I would be forced to swap into the 9mm to kill it.

On pathing tho...

The Guard tower in the outer yard of the prison seems to be really hard for zeds to get up to. They tend to get stuck on the first staircase leading to it before the turn to the other staircase which leads to the tower.

On flashlights tho...

Theres a new thread by someone else on the general discussions, but I'll post here too. I agree that the flashlight is horrendous now and imo should be reverted to what it was. It's barely useful at its current state.

Loving the update so far. I haven't tried the new weapons yet, it's been a couple of months since we played last (since the Following got released, then got hooked on Stardew Valley :p)

Anyway, the game takes a long time to load now. My server loads as fast as it used to, but I have started the game 4 times since the new update this morning and every time it takes maybe around 3-5 minutes from clicking play until it gets to the game menu, then another minute maybe to get into a map, also I can't skip the intro videos by pressing buttons anymore which adds to the time.

It used to take maybe a minute to load, if you watched the developer videos a little longer.

I opened task manager and my cpu usage sits around 16% while the game loads up and sits on the splash screen

Is anybody else noticing slower load times? It is taking the same amount of time on my wifes pc as well with the same specs as mine

GPU GTX960 (Driver 361.91)

Ive always had slow load times but only when starting/loading the game for the first time. Once its been loaded up though it starts alot quickly even if not amazingly fast. I have slower PC btw.

Same for me all around - windows 7 and an hd 5570. After one loadup though things fly along nicely. :D

I was wondering if there was a way that you guys could change the flashlight back to the way it was? I find the new update with the flashlight to be to weak. That or maybe have it where you can use a setting in the game to change the flashlight brightness from dim (like you have it now) to bright (like you had it before). That would help out a lot thanks.

Flashlight change is being reverted. We are working on a few other items as well to try and turn around for a quick patch.

Yeeees! The 1027 flashlight is useless.
Useless is certainly how I'd describe it. Default brightness, courtyard in Manor (not even that dark, since there's still some light, however dim), turn on flashlight, can't even see Gorefasts clearly.

Just some stuff I noticed :

- You can pick arrow on the floor when you have already full ammo,
- It seems like the weapon damage of the LAR/XBOW are not registered in the post-match achievement. For the fun, I used support with XBOW + LRAR + Katana (off-perk style) and my top "weapon" was the T1 shotgun I sold after wave 1...
