Hated Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Good evening! Alpha 18.3 b3 will be on EXP soon! This version a) will finally allow you to choose from 13 languages to play the game in! b) gives you back the power to change your FOV c) has an updated VO for Trader Jen d) some performance enhances How to select your language? Here's a quck YT video I made 1. Start the game's launcher 2. You will need to use e.g. "-language=german" in the launcher's start parameter to start the game using that language 3. Now the session will be in the selected language This of couse is temporary and only until we release it to stable. The language names are: EN = english (default) DE = german ES-LatAm = latam FR = french IT = italian JA = japanese KO = koreana PL = polish PT-BR = brazilian RU = russian TR = turkish ZH-CN = schinese ZH-TW = tchinese For feedback and balancing suggestions, please go to our feedback thread. For ideas outside of balancing please visit our dev diary. Bugs exclusively for localization go here. For any bug reports and the latest known issues please visit our bug report thread. For any bugs specifically for localization, please use this thread. Happy Holidays from all of us here at TFP! Schِne Feiertage und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr! Hated Servers!

Tweedilderp Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hated, will this have included a fix for the dupe regarding vehicles? I posted a new entry in the bugs for the 18.2 b5. It includes something that used to be done with chests but is now possible with vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilreaver Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I just want to say HOLY CRAP! The optimization on this patch was insane and I was lucky enough to have a side-by-side comparison. My server was having a going-away party (ie: max zombies, spawning in HE rockets, spawning Dev tools, etc) and it was laggy and buggy as usual and as could be expected. We shut the server down and then another player showed up, we saw the new patch and figured we would check it out. Holy smokes, the latency and performance is NIGHT AND DAY. Folks on garbage connections and junk computers report MARKED improvements, as in "5 FPS and inability to aim while horde" --> "High FPS and can aim with horde and building coming down at the same time" A++ would patch again <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhaineGB Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 So i'm not sure what you guys did... But playing on nav, no mods, set terrain detail to medium and FOV to 75 and i'm getting a reasonably steady 100fps. Which is VERY nice. Also, is it just me or is the new font MUCH easier to read?

q123 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Nice update! I did a quick performance test only. But it looks like there where done some really good optimisations under the hood. I was able to smoothly move around in snow biome with medium terrain quality For me it looks like the performance impact between AF-Setting Medium and High is lower now than before. In this build I notice a bigger performance impact on SS-Reflections between Low and Medium. Thats ok for me cause low is still good looking. Thanks for the update.

Right now it's mystery. Kinda weird that they accidentally made optimizations. They are probably gonna spend some time figuring out what they did to cause these gains lol. Could it be the Grass shader optimization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably gonna spend some time figuring out what they did to cause these gains lol. Could it be the Grass shader optimization? I would not be suprised if the optimization was made somewhere in the UI code. Maybe that was draining more resources in the way it was setup. But yeah seems the game flows smoother, I do not see a big increase in fps, but I do see that the game looks better and flows better for my eyes with the same settings I had in 18.2 b5.

Hollowprime Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I'm trying the new experimental to see this performance boost you're talking about. But one thing I HEAVILY disagree with is this: "All electrical devices (blocks) have a minimum consumption of 1W" Now under normal circumstances that means the pressure plates require 1W correct? However if this change is correct it is bad for PVE and even PVP servers. Currently those traps could allow bases to run for many days without the need to refuel generators and batteries unless zombies or other players arrived on the scene. With this change it means the dozens of pressure plates will drain an enormous amount of power from the generators, correct? Edit: I mean pressure plates could act like switches and use no power, this doesn't even make sense from an electrical point of view. However if you want to make them require power why not add craftable solar panels and solar banks with some very expensive materials? That would even things out.

Nugetti Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Amazing fixes and additions, thank you for the FOV slider, thank you for the optimizations, thank you for squashing bugs. Great job and great timing to get that patch out (even though it's experimental) just in time for the holidays. Merry christmas and a happy new year.

Hollowprime Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I've noticed that the shotgun turrets produce around 10% heat per hit in A18.3 summoning huge amounts of screamers. Is this normal? Edit: NVM it's true even in A18.2, shotgun turrets produce 8% heat per hit. An interesting way to summon endless hordes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz Man Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Yes. Both the initial placement being wrong and it moving when you hit/wrench it. There is a car when wrenched that breaks a row of fencing in front of the water works POI after you wrench it down. I wonder if that also got fixed...in relation to this. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josman087 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Just logged in to my game to find 18.3 (b3) and now im getting nothing but NullReferenceExeption: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I verified game files and steam only has 18.1 available in the updates as latest. You need to select "latest experimental" in the Steam Beta tab to play on Experimental. If you are still having an issue, please post your report with output log here. Schwanz9000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
