A Collection of Quality of Life Improvements
With today's update we are addressing a few issues which have been affecting Players, while also implementing improvements. Here's what we've included:
Quality of Life Improvements and Tweaks
- You now have the ability to deposit your rucksacks at upgraded outposts (Level 2 or higher).
- There is now a ‘Take All’ action for Containers, for the survivors that need to grab everything and run!
- There is now a 'Drop Item' action directly from Containers, making it easier to shuffle and transfer personal items around.
- This action has also been added to Vehicle Storage (Trunks)
- You can now remove weapon attachments from selected ranged weapons in the Supply Locker without needing to equip them first.
- The Zombie Trappers and The Cannibals enclaves can now appear once per map (instead of once per community).
- Minor Bloater improvements: The VFX and damage of the gas burst are better matched, so it no longer looks and feels like you were damaged unfairly.
- To compensate the Bloaters will now also try to get slightly closer to your survivor before exploding.
- Better completion counter on Curveballs with objectives. e.g. Under the Weather and Missing a Few Bolts will now read 0/3 deposits instead of 0/1 three times.
- A minor change that allows more characters to potentially get the Blood Plague Survivor trait.
- Expansion of new randomly generated character names and nicknames added to the pool when creating a new survivor.
Black Heart Curveball Tweaks
It’s been mentioned that the Black Heart can be too dominating on a community, especially when it rolls early, so we made some adjustments to make it feel more balanced and less punishing.
- The Black Heart Curveball will now only appear after 6 days have passed (or 2 when moving maps)
- The Black Heart Toxic Miasma effect will stop dealing damage sooner (at a higher health threshold), rather than right down to a slither of health remaining. Damage per tick stays the same.
- Damage V/O added when taking toxic damage to give additional warning, while also feeling more realistic.
- Improved VFX for Black Heart Plague Miasma
- Reduced the fuel drain speed for the Black Heart Thick Miasma effect.
- Reduced the growth speed for the Black Heart Growing Dominion effect.
- Balancing changes to the fire resistant Black Heart Zombies (slower, and cause less sickness/plague build-up per attack)
BUG Fixes
- Trumbull Valley CLEO mission edge case fixed. Previously it was possible to end the mission without getting the CLEO device, and then be subsequently unable to get it.
- Fix for a crash when attempting to access Cached Community after shutdown.
- Sentinel Mutation Curveball and the Hyper Auditory Mutation Curveball can no longer roll at the same time; it was an awkward combination as they contradict each other.
- Minor Curveball Journal improvements. Fixed UI clipping, and slight adjustment to automatic font resizing.
- Miscellaneous text and localization improvements.

why the zombie dont attack enemie survivor
Every time I load into the game my screen freezes and I can't doing but reload it but that doesn't help at all so I can't even play the game
So since this update I can't play the game or complete the last two bounties I wanted out of the bounties leaving in April because any community past day 4 freezes entirely within a few seconds of play and I can't do anything. I've tried the whole deleting local save data and un-install/re-install and it hasn't helped. Great update to kill the game with "quality of life"
I have done all the same above and my community’s still freeze within 10 seconds
Hopefully they fix it since it's definitely a bug and it makes the game unplayable
I’m currently unable to access my forever community as stated by people above the game freezes after about 10-20 seconds. I’ve tried restarting the game and console multiple times but still not working. Please fix this ASAP
I'm having the same problem with two of my saves, and I've tried the fix mentioned above, but to no avail. It's so frustrating at this point. I really hope the dev team see this and address the issue the soonest.
I am having the same problem, I can’t load into my day 36 lethal community and every time I load in I have like 15sec before it freezes. And I can hear the background but cannot do nothing. I tried restarting several times and even uninstalling it and reinstalling it and it’s the same result. Please please please fix
They responded to my support ticket after I did what they suggested and it didn't work saying they are looking into it, so now we just have to wait till they can find what's causing the issue and fix it. It has something to do with curveballs since even my new communities do it after the first curveball activates
Same for me, the game freezes up every time I start the game
Can everyone stop commenting on this post? Or mods, can you at least LOCK IT?? There's a support forum for issues, and I'm tired of getting a new email every day with someone else saying they're having issues — WE ALL ARE.
I found a solution. Turning off the 'Show Notifications' under the HUD tab in the settings worked for me. I play on PC so not sure if this will work on every platform. Let me know if this fix worked for you and let's spread this around so we can continue enjoying this game. Thanks!
After update 36 the game just continually freezes for Xbox players???
With this update You kill the Game, is unplayabled, now after 10 second the Game Frezze, when come the solution, i have a Xbox series X
Same freezing issue after 30 seconds on trumble. Started a new community on trumble valley moved my base built up my characters reached game day 4. Turned off the game and tried to play again 2 days later and now when I start it freezes every time after about 20-30 seconds. Tried to redownload the game and unplug the console for a minute. Nothing seems to be working. Just keeps freezing.
Game freezing issue, some 20-30 second after I start the game. That issue started each time when curveball mode is on main screen.
Playing Xbox X
I have found another solution from a Reddit post. After loading a community, right when the curveball pop-up shows, click OK right away, then immediately exit to the Main Menu, load the community again and it should fix the freezing issue.
I done every suggestion that found of this topic still game on Xbox X freezing after 20 -30 second. I thing that is some big bug that making this game unplayable.
New patch is out peeps!
My game still keeps crashing 10 seconds in but instead of freezing it just exits out to the Xbox dashboard. It’s literally unplayable
My too. After 10 sec when load last save. Exit out to Xbox dashboard. It worst then last update. When started new game working but, don't know for how long.
Hey folks if you're playing on console, please hard reset (unplug for 10 secs then plug back in to clear memory cache) after your update to 36.1
