Are you playing B42 unstable? Or current version?

[StevenT475]

After reading patch notes to see shotguns don't spawn then when looting March Ridge bunker to find it completely empty I am going back to current build. Is B24 really worth playing right now with it having so many issues and things just not spawning?

[Narrowmind]

I don't think it's worth it. It's a mess.

b42 has tons of fun, with mod fixes of course.

The main improvements are performance based and additional building levels

I honestly couldn't even play the game before b42 because it ran so terrible.
The jank is worth the framerate increase alone.
Also its a slightly less barebones game now. Extra stories on buildings and basements and animals helped alot

I play B42 when I play solo, and B41 with my friends. Haven't played much recently but didn't had any "game breaking bug". But keep in mind that B42 is unstable and that you are technically not "playing" but "testing", if you see a bug, report it in case devs missed it.

Not sure if you're joking or not. The entire shakeup of the crafting system and balancing of equipment is drastic. Yes there is a ton to do still on improvements, especially around the limitations on some crafting recipes that don't make sense to be locked behind a book. But that is what mods are for. The additional building levels, and the entire lighting system being redone has made it a bit more engaging in my opinion. However, there are definitely some difficulties it brings. I would recommend playing it, though you might want to do sandbox mode as the count of zombies were decreased slightly to counteract the new heatmap changes that makes cities and towns a bit more filled. Forests right now are empty compared to b41. Though b41 had really bad heatmaps that made no sense in some areas.

B41 because of mods and online with friends

B42 is sort of worth playing, if you're interested in seeing the new stuff, a lot of it is great, but long term runs and what not are plagued by broken systems and less enjoyable rebalances. After the novelty wears off, you'd probably want to revert to Build 41.

42 ofc, its great. I am not going back to 41, there is simply no reason to.

Kind of stopped both for now. I download the unstable if there's an update to see if the aiming (general aiming not guns) is still unplayable compared to current version. Last time I checked it still was.

No its much worse. Now it turns your character towards your cursor regardless of you holding right click or not. It didn't used to do that unless you're holding right click, now it does, forcing you to always keep your cursor ahead of your character, making me have to aim harder than playing an fps shooter if I'm maneuvering through crowds and wanna push zombies, instead of being able to do that with one hand. You also can't multitask now. Can't fight zombies with arrow keys and space while going through your inventory at the same time.

in that situation you shouldn´t use your inventory, lol
just go some meters away if you want to.

I like it how it is.
