Zombies inside the car?
I was picking up things from a former house and filling the car, several travels in and out until I got in to leave. I was muched and instantly zombified.
Do zombies get into cars? if they do it's totally unfair that I cannot see inside.
Doors were unlocked and but all windows were closed

Most likely it went under the car. Zombies do that now so you can't use cars as makeshift walls.

I got bit once I was at the wheel of the car, not outside. And it was instant.

1. Hm are you using any mods by any chance?
2. Also was the window by the driver seat lowered? (As in opened?)
Because it is entirely possible the zombie came out from under the car got up and bit you through the window which was opened.
3. If not then likely something caused the "cars lower plating" to not be taken into consideration and you have been had from below. Which is likely a bug.

These are the things i can think on.

Mod: shopping cart, totally unrelated.
As I said, no window down, no door locked (hence my hypothesis of a zombi getting in), no zombie next to the car from any angle. There were some just meters away from it as I was attempting to rapidly get in and leave.
Can't confirm if there was a zombi under the car

Could it have just been a timing thing? Meaning that you were getting into the car, were attacked then the bite came through as you were closing the door and seating yourself behind the wheel?

How about a broken window? When you look at that window does it look grey?

Also, good to hear that you're not actually playing build 31 :)

actually shopping carts is very much related, its also one of the buggiest mods out there because it uses the car system to make a fake car you push around aka pushing cart around.

this mod is likely conflicting somewhere and causing cars to be treated like carts

I'll unsuscribe then. In a permadeath game I cannot afford to add more ways to die unexpectedly. Thanks

Most mods are like that:)
