Searching Loot server loading spike killing my character.
Is it only me or has anyone else in open world MP getting surrounded and killed by hordes wile your trying to load loot taking 60 seconds or longer often when looting searching?? its happening way more often now that it use to before. is their a fix for this or is it just heavily on server side by admin?

it's certainly been happening to me much more than before.
i've noticed that sometimes the hits i take dont actually dmg me though atleast
It is most probably about the game server itself. The server really needs upgrade to handle 50-100 players at a time to overvcome these type of errors.

Our connection speed to server is only secondary.



What can a player do is:


To be sure nothing will hurt you during the ooting moments or just hit logg off to reset the instance for the character if it goes wrong.

If I am sure there is only a single zombie nearby at open world I go for loot and hit dodge and keep moving on. I try not to do that if the zombie nearby is a scissor hand/scythe one since they seem to be broken at dealing extra extra damage.




(Stealth/Visibility range is the clean route)

I avoid looting inside at end zones if I dont stealth (much cleaner to loot and take down zombies under stealth). Or I clear the room when I block entry of new zombies and use pistol/shotgun at closer range. (Stealth is still clean)


Loading screens when enteing and exiting the doors also have the same issue. It is bad especially when the game keep respawning the zombies like mad at times.
search speed 1s all BS. because the wait is 5s
Yep lag spikes are probably tho to overcrowded servers but it can be other things as well like internet speed,updates...devs tinkering with game on live servers etc

They are working on a solution this week, stay tuned.
This is one of the reasons I canceled my sub and quit playing, the server lag is terrible. It completely ruins a great game. No number of weekend XP boosts can make up for server lag. Damn shame too, was really getting into after 3 months playing.
Don't spend money on this game, it's not worth it at all. I spent over $2000, but my account was banned because someone maliciously reported it. It's disgusting

i mean i guess thanks for funding a game i enjoy, but ...what the actual ♥♥♥♥, why would you spend so much on it?
did you just buy all BIS everything and leave no reason to even play?

i'm not trying to be as aggressive about it as i sound, but i just can't fathom why people do that in games

I'm glad to see your reply. I love this game and hope to do something for it. I just accused those who get something for nothing in the game, but ended up being banned. It's really sad

Why are you hurling death threats at people, acting tough and then come over complaining you got banned for nothing?

I didn't make any threats to anyone, I just accused them of getting something for nothing. I was working hard to defeat the boss, while they were getting something for nothing beside me

it's game's server issues, no way for self-fix, only counting on the next fix updates from dev/admin

the last update helped ALOT.
now it starts fetching loot when you first interact with a loot instead of at end of search, and zombies cant get to you while the loot window is up :)

Trying to fix the server issue this way just created another problem (a loot problem). Now, with loot being pulled at the start of the search bar instead of the end causes loot be be lost PERMANENTLY if you're forced out of the room before completion OR if the server drops you out of the game. I've had this happen to me several times since the switch over.

There is nothing more discouraging when you've worked hard to kill a boss and the search bar says, "No item was found" and then you try again and a high quality item is displayed only for the game to log you off the server. And once you log back into the game the item is GONE and wasn't added to your inventory! Or, you have a stealth/loot build character that started to loot an item but was forced out of the room due to zombies/boss and once you reenter the room the loot is GONE.

Plus, the last update did nothing for being attacked while looting. It only helps "IF" the loading bar is stuck. While the search bar is filling-up you can be attacked and after the display box is shown you can be attacked. So, nothing significant has changed in that aspect but a bigger issue has been created with the lootable items.
to be very clear i'm not trying to say none of this happened, and will agree that those are all frustrating.
however, for me, this has been a great bandaid. ofc the servers aren't any better. but mitigating the issues is still a good thing.
i have yet to run into it, but i certainly hope the prefetching loot isn't causing your disco? that's the only way i could see this update make loot disappear because a bossloot would always poof if disco, and the regular loot spots do not disappear from disconnection.
they will poof if you change rooms though.

it does force you to decide if you have enough time to fill the searchbar before zombies get to you if you intend on leaving the room to escape them. but it has been pushing them back for me wether it hangs or not, i really don't know how this can be different for us. if anything the pushback from having loot window up is a bit OP, now instead of needing to melee all the infected after a PZ, or drag them away and run back for bossloot. i can just fill the searchbar, let them bounce off of me, take loot and hit dodge.
