Known Issues

Animals get knocked back quite far when hit

Stability on Bridges are still a little weak in the middle
Dogs climb ladders sometimes
Animals sometimes run in circles due to zombie ai improvements
Auger is rendered smaller in player’s hands
Multiplayer servers sometime don’t show up in server browser
Spanish, French and German translations are not done use English for now
Large structures falling from stability cause poor performance on lower end systems
Rocket Launcher does not have a degradation stat bar
Switching languages multiple times in a row can cause broken wording in continued game
Continue game screen titles not updating when re-entering.
The NAT punchthrough sometimes doesn’t work as it should for some users and usually results in server hosting connection issues. Use the disable nat option in the server config to work around this for now.
