Known Major Issues

• Some players are experiencing getting stuck at connection initiated. This issue is known and in most cases not caused by connetion issues and is related to incorrect loading. This is usually accompanied by a black menu scene after skipping the alpha disclaimer message. For many player reloading the game fixes the issue, once the scene in the background of the menu scene loads everything should be. This is on the top of our priority list. Note: Resolved in 1.0.1 This was being caused by an asset loading issue and the message in the loading screen was misleading. Please report any further issues on entry into game as solution may have flaws.
• In some cases there appears to be a broken skinny bald zombie with a blue shirt with the number 33 on it. The issue manifests itself in the form of either an invisible zombie that appears to attack you but is actually stuck running in place on your client. Alternatively it the zombie appears to just remain stood animated at the position of death.  Note: This should be fixed in 1.0.1 Network backend changes could result in other similar issues. Pleease report any network synchronisation issues via the ingame bug reporting window.
