Zombies also ”prefer tasty NPCs” like those cowering, and prefer loud obnoxious distractions like fireworks over echoes or disturbances. Framerate has been ‘smoothed’.
It’s quite a selection of fixes from Undead Labs from physics and pathfinding to cleaning up ‘under the hood’ systems. State of Decay’s Lifeline DLC is due out this June.
