Daybreak bug...

[XxTTHREExX]

Every once in a while my bullets won't work (can keep shooting zeds & nothing happens) but I can use my melee weapon, & I noclip the barricades.

Anyone experience this?

Sync error. Happens sometimes when being a client.

To fix weapon issue, it sometimes helps if you unequip it (from hands to backpack) and then re-equip it.
You can try dropping the weapon on the ground and collecting it BUT if sync error remains, you can't collect the dropped weapon, rendering you pretty much useless (happened with me once, when trying to fix sync error, ended up loosing on the 6th wave).
Oh, one time, i had sync error fixed when i ran near the game host (i usually stick far out in the field, to catch zeds early).

The daybreak desyncing is mostly to do with the latency from client to host. All you can really so is be the host or improve your network connection as much as possible.

ideally hook to the router with ethernet and if your router has a "Quality of Service" (QOS) option have it enabled. Depending on how advanced it is QOS can help a lot with multiple people. Even a a basic "auto" setting works pretty good.

If you are stuck with wifi set the router wifi networks to a fixed channel, any thing other than "auto" channel.

Yes this usually happens to me when I'm playing with other people far from me, so I believe it's a latency issue

With the sync issue, there is little one can do to fix it. Since usually, it is caused by the Host's slow internet speed.

I'm sitting on a very good connection (fastest my ISP offers), yet, i still sometimes get those annoying, and often gamebreaking issues, when i'm Client and Host has poor connection.

Now, i have 0 clue on how SoD2 determinates who they match up with who. It should be distance based, paring you up with closest people. But sometimes, when there isn't much Hosts offering their game, there isn't much to choose from, and you can be paired up with people across the world, resulting in the latency issue.

Best fix is to play with your friends, whom you know have good connection and are (relatively) close where you live.

Happens every time when i join host with bad upload.
And usually last 2 rounds, my bullets are BB gun pallets and i can pass trough barricades like a ghost xD
