Turn Off Curveball Events

[LostBoyLazarus]

I've turned Curveball Events off in the settings, however they are still starting. Why? How do I turn them off? Also, the option defaults to on whenever the game is loaded...

[CrappyBark]

Could be worse, I don't even have the ability to turn them off. I am on my fourth or fifth curveball now and these super hearing zombies are just getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ old to deal with

[LostBoyLazarus]

That's my issue too, that I can't turn them off. Even after turning them off in settings, they still start. I quite liked the idea of curveball events until I realised how frequent they are and would like to be able to actually play the game without needing to worry about another unhelpful event happening. SoD2 is turning into FO4's Preston :/

I think I didn't explain it well, I don't even have an option to turn them off. I'm not turning them off and having them come back on, I just have no ability to turn them off

[LostBoyLazarus]

Oh, I understand now. Settings>Gameplay>6th from top. Nothing there?

[WarBucks]

you have to do the first two for the setting to appear, then that setting is always available.

Its a bit wonky but i think itll be most consistent for new people just finishing the tutorial for the first time.

You finish the tutorial loot the starter area, kill a couple plague hearts. Bam a couple curveballs, then you can turn them off or on.

btw there can be positive curveballs as well

The Devs just posted to the discord an indepth explanation of how curveballs work.

A relevant bit is the curveballs on/off setting is community dependant.

I put the post he made from there here

I no longer use Discord, so thank you for sharing. Community dependant in what sense?

[WarBucks]

on the sense that once you set the option in a community it persists for that community. no matter what you set the others to. and if you load one it swiches to what ever you had the option set to last.

Then if you start a new community i believe it will default to the last state played. But since its a new community you should have some period of time to set it to off. Im unclear if thats 4 in game days or 2. or a real world number.

I dont have an open slot at the moment to test.

For me, 6th from the top is "use camera to target interactions"

I am in their discord and don't see it, can you point me to their in depth details on curveballs? I'm having an issue where I can't turn them off in my nightmare campaign and I have already killed a few plague hearts as well. Unless on nightmare I have to just kill that many more hearts lol

Its in the #public-test-realm channel in the pins, the latest one

Ahh, okay, thank you. I'm using an existing community so maybe that's why it isn't being persistent. Shame it can't default to off though.

Strange. I have no idea. Assuming you have tried the obvious verifying files, latest version etc.

I had another look into this for you; when checking the settings from the main menu, the option is not there as you are experiencing, however when checking them in-game, the setting is there. Hopefully this helps you?

Further, when turning them off at each load, it does seem to prevent new curveballs from starting, however I believe they should be off by default.

Silly update/addon or whatever it is called. Instead there is no QoL things added.
Add shoulder swap!
Add walk button for keyboard and mouse users!!!!!
Those are super easy but this company prefere to spent lots of time creating silly addons like this stupid curveball events!

RIDICULOUS!

I'd pay at this point for a shoulder swap button!

Yeah, everything verified, no mods, everything up to date. I load my campaign and open menu, no option to change anything curveball related. I am now on day 12(started on day 6 because of my save). Just killed my fifth plague heart since it started, so I doubt that is related. I don't know at this point and it's getting old
