Simple experience sharing and problem reporting
(Use Google Translate, please forgive any grammatical and wording errors)

I’ll share my experience first because it’s very profound and interesting. I will write down the issues I found in the game later.

The following all occur in a single player game

After choosing Louisville as my starting location, adjusting the sandbox settings to have viable zombies, and adjusting the zombie population to a very high number, I started the game.

Everything is like Dawn of the Dead. After finding the right weapon, I walked out of the house with my teammates and saw zombies chasing survivors down the street. At first, the survivors were able to band together and kill the zombies. But as more and more zombies approach, drawn by gunshots, shouts and sirens, the survivors begin to panic.

Unable to kill all the rapidly approaching large numbers of zombies, the survivors began to scatter. Although I understand that the AI ​​settings allow them to find a safe position to continue fighting, in my eyes, it feels more like the survivors abandoning their teammates and running away alone.

On the way to escape, when my two teammates and I were about to be overtaken by zombies, I made an evil but the most reasonable decision at the moment.

I tried to push one of my teammates.

He slowed down as I expected, and then was surrounded by a horde of zombies. Another teammate stopped next to him and wanted to kill the surrounding zombies, but I only heard two screams soon after and they could no longer follow me.

I couldn't stay safe for long. I was soon forced to the second floor of a building by zombies. When zombies were about to destroy the door to the room I was hiding in, I surrendered and closed the game.

At the same time, I also thought of characters from zombie movies. I never imagined that I would do the same thing as them and end up with the same tragic ending.

It's time to report the problem.
Hopefully solving the problem of bandits ignoring the flames.

Because on the way out of Louisville, I saw a group of private troops trying to move to the next area after successfully clearing the surrounding zombies, but they were all burned to death by the flames caused by the road bombing.

Just because they ignore the flames and want to go straight through it.
I feel sad for them T-T
