Ghost/Fake Zombies Glitch Hoard Mode

[GeVeBe]

Ok so on hoard mode it seems to be happening more and more where there are hoards of fake zombies that don't attack or damage the gate, the issue is you waste loads of ammo and never actually know if the hoard is real or fake.
Im sure you have at some point seen someone shooting at the gate where there is nothing there, well that's because they see 100+ 'fake' zombies.
I have heard that its a sync issue when joining a game already running but Im sure its happened to me as a starting host.
Seriously ruins the game so why have they not fixed it after all these years ????

Your thoughts ?

It's a bug since release and still not fixed and most likely will never happen. Sad but true.

Its not a sync issue. People are dieing the second a wave starts now because of this. At first I thought it was a fluke, but it kept happening to the poor guy through 50 waves and toward the end it started happening to others. He ended up just standing on the upper platforms and away from the horde paths.

The sync issue is similar and is the reason why you see zombies clinging to fences/walls but the rest of your team won't. They might be connected in someway, but desync wouldn't spawn an invisible horde on someone the moment a wave starts.

Just to add to this (a little late but still), I've found this happens in almost every public horde match I've been in. Even if I host it from the start and have very low ping this can happen. At larger waves (12+) there are usually additional 100s of zombies mixed in with the real ones. They run straight past defences, do no damage and do not damage the gate. It's borderline impossible to tell whether a horde/stream of zombies is real or not and so you end up wasting ammo on them. Or you assume they're fake/ghost zombies and ignore them, then a real one jumps out of nowhere and attacks you.

It's very common to see other players shooting/attacking seemingly nothing which suggests that it's a very common issue. This has been a bug for years, only seems to become a real problem at later waves and usually gets worse every time a new player joins/leaves. I haven't tested it myself but I've heard that it occurs less or not at all in private matches where all players load in together at the start. I don't think I've seen it happen in co-op missions, even if players are leaving/joining throughout. It might have happened a couple of times but definitely not even close to the scale and frequency that it happens on horde mode.

I don't know if you still need footage of this happening but if you do I'm more than happy to take some video clips/screenshots. It can often get so bad that the entire final gate is completely covered by a pile-up 6 zombies thick. If this can be fixed it would be a huge help for horde mode as currently the later waves are practically unplayable a lot of the time. Thank you for looking into it!

@Saber Help [developer] is just pasting generic responses. Big fan of the game, but the developers either just CAN'T accomplish the feat or are unwilling/too lazy to do so.

As there's forum post on Reddit going 3 years back complaining about this issue, and this has been a game breaking bug sense the game was launched.

if they really cared it would've been fixed over 3 years ago when the bug was initially reported. They made the money they needed too off the game so why bother patching bugs when you can just put out more pay to get dlc content.

here's MULTIPLE LINKS to multiple forums, years old showing just how bad and how old this issue is and just how lacking of care the developers are of said issue.
if you cant fix it then just say you cant fix it, simple. stop with the bs generic copy and paste responses saying "we will look into it and investigate"
bro you had 3 years to investigate...how deep does this really get to where you need 3 years to fix???


MULTIPLE LINKS (this nuff "proof" for you?)

So dev's stop playing dumb. Why df you asking this poor lad to "prove" the issue???
seriously?? prove it?? You act like you don't have access to the internet or all the other complaints you have received on same issue.
cuz you know this has been an issue sense launch, and so does literally everyone else.
some even refuse to buy additional dlc until its patched and fixed.
just admit you can't fix it to your fanbase or STOP GASLIGHTING.

seriously tired of the lack of transparency with game devs past several years...stop playing games like your customers are to stupid to catch on.
Also random side question, why the private profile? trying to hide all those NSFW games you be playing or something?

AND I bet you don't even read this and still paste me a (Thank you - we will add it to the investigation.) response

[Azusa]

don't want to be an advokat at the same time It seems to me it's just a feature of their game engine so we have to put up with it. If It could be fixed easy it'd've done :)

[CatWitAGat]

@Azusa my main point was that if it can't be fixed just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ say soo stop leading people on that you plan on fixing it when its been a bug for 3 years just be an adult and say you can't do it at this time due to limitations of the game engine. It's not that hard to be honest with your fanbase.

[MoonRider99]

if someone posts a issue to the forum then he/she is new to this forum.
Dev here, DO NOT, care at all about most of the bugs, this one included. Copy/paste response and asking for video ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is all they do.
Wait for party to be full before starting the game, less likely to meet problem.

[EvilZombie]

it happened alot of times when i shoot the gate in my screen there are tons of zombie while my friend asked me wtf am i doing
