[B42] Stomping zombies (w ragdols on)
Whenever I get the infected on the ground, I can't stomp em, my character just stomps empty ground. And I know what I'm doing with this game I have 300 hours in it (it might be rookie numbers to someone) but this getting annoying. Is there any fix to this issue? (aside from disabling the ragdols)

Weird I can stomp downed zombies with ragdolls on just fine.

Are you refering to trying to stomp ragdolling zombies (like freshly tumbling from an explosion) or normal downed zombies (from like a shove or melee knockdown) ?
The latter one, I just can't stomp em to death, I can sometimes but its not incossistent. This issue caused my characters for few times.
Also do you happen to know why I cant unpack my ammo boxes? I've tried it with both with or without mods on and I just cant unpack my ammos. Even in the crafting menu it says" Requires IGUI crafting window".

That might be a mod conflict if you are using any mods.

No, as I said I dont have any mods loaded and I still have this issue.

Could be a save corruption after update. Especially if you had save prior to the patch it may have not transitioned well into the new version.

On my end the Water Dispenser bottles broke in save prior to recent patch.
Everything was working fine in new save i made after the patch.
All I have seen similar to this that sometimes when shooting with ragdolls on , the zeds will lay on the ground and stay alive as if they are still 'ragdolling' and don't try and get up and don't seem to die, then they can't be interacted with but I haven't seen that when hitting them or shoving them to the ground.

Yeah thats my issue, I hope they will fix this in the next update otherwise I might have to play with ragdolls off.

Btw issue is still here, I cant unpack my ammo even without any mods enabled, it says IGU Crafting, I dont know what the ♥♥♥♥ is susposed to mean but I know its happened after the latest update for the B42.
I noticed a similar issue last patch as well; with ragdolling enabled zeds often have trouble registering as "prone" when knocked down, even just from a shove or melee hit. It seems to have improved this latest patch but I doubt we've seen the last of it.
