Zombies Spawning on top of me

[Greirat]

im hosting a session for me and a friend and right after we'd finished clearing a road a group of zombies literally spawned on top of us. I have no idea why this happened and wanted to know if theres an explanation for it.

No idea, but I have noticed a lot of zombies suddenly spawn very close by me, out of the blue. One even spawned inside my mini base a couple days ago.

It's a little weird.

Yeah its really strange, i even set respawn to 0 so i wonder if the game is migrating zombies near me? but its really jarring

Yeah same problem here hosting a server too... I see the two cases, zombies spawning and despawning

I'm not sure here but vaguely remember hearing desync had something to do with it. I've definitely had similar experiences, heading towards a pack and being VERY careful to make sure nothing is sneaking up on me (as in no trees or cover for unpleasant surprises), and at the worst possible moment poof there are three magically appearing out of nowhere.

They drop from the sky, they warp speed towards you. But Multiplayer is so much fun we just roll with the punches. Should get better with updates. Here is a warper LOL: https://youtube.com/shorts/QIUCDdh6NE4?feature=share

Advanced Zombie Options > Respawn Hours: 0 to unlimited

(time period before a spawn can happen seen or unseen)

Advanced Zombie Options > Respawn Unseen Hours: 0 to unlimited

(Zone or cell should only start to respawn if it remains unseen for that amount of time increasing this should make it so zone or area has to remain unseen meaning if u look in that direction there should be no spawn for that amount of time)

Advanced Zombie Options > Respawn Multiplier: 0.000 to 1.
(amount of zombies that be spawned you can change this to zero for no respawn)

-----------------

there sometime seem to be issue where two below conflict or do not behave correctly on server, usually restarting host helps.

now Advanced Zombie Options > Respawn Unseen Hours:
and
Advanced Zombie Options > Respawn Hours:

if I remember right if you set things to zero it disabled but I could be wrong it has been while.
------------------

I my self have not ran into this issue for years now, it seem to be more problem with older versions of game, but these days I tend to play with zombie spawning fully disabled and insane number of zombies sometimes I set the Advanced Zombie Options > Population Multiplier: from 1.0 to as high as 20.00 and I always urbanize my zombies and make them slow walkers that get weaker with age.

I also always turn off the grouping mechanics so all zombies always act individually no need to group when you have millions of zombies in the citys each individual zombie go off of what it sees or hears anyways so they move in hordes on there own with out grouping.

Had this thing just now. 100 zombies spawn on top us on a road. Host game, no mods.

Sounds like a group of stale zombies. I recommend downloading No Mo Culling (Not a shameless plug) to stop it from happening. Along with removing some other MP bugs.
