Settings: 60-tick, nb_update_frequency 0.014

Similar problems with the new v1.9 on default settings and edited old settings:
  • Default: z_resolve_zombie_collision_multiplier "1.0", z_resolve_zombie_collision_auto_multiplier "1".
  • Edited old: z_resolve_zombie_collision_multiplier "0.15", z_resolve_zombie_collision_auto_multiplier "0"
The problems:
  • Commons got stuck/freezed in stack (like they're glued/tied together) when they spawned at a spawn point. Very frequently happened.
  • Commons randomly just disappeared out of thin air, when they fell down or just when they're running towards you. Very frequently happened.
  • Commons got spawned in your face sometimes.


I guess this one is v1.10, idk. I'm really afraid to test this out yet. In the meantime, I'll use the old version v1.8 although commons have stuttering problem when climbing obstacles in that one.
I see your concerns but the problems you described mostly likely were fixed in the latest update.
1.9 version used the wrong sum variable for commons collision which could cause all of the problems you described and it also explains why using the old settings didn't fix it

Updated to the most recent version, zombies still fail to climb certain things sometimes.

Also occasionally commons do massive jumps, like multiple floors high.

Noticed that they can't break windows in No Mercy 2 generator room.

tickrate 96

This is known issue and the extension is not cause of it

I tested it and they broke it.
Make sure there are no other plugins interfering with the windows.

Would it be possible to add a CVAR setting to make it so that this extension only affects the witch?

Been playing with this version for a while, and it's a noticeable improvement. Couldn't reproduce the generator room issue anymore.

Could you possibly look into survivors getting stuck on steep small props and meshes at high tickrate? Like these things on c10m4

Bots are using the same movement collision as players so if player can't move over it then neither can a bot.
Those small steps have always been a problem and I guess the only solution to this is to make bots jump over them by marking two nav areas as a gap or cover them with something smooth and less steep so that players and bots can move over them without jumping.

It's a great extension and i have been using it for long time now but there is still 2 major issues that can ruin the difficulty of the game.

- Infected get stuck in a climbing loop when dropping down sloped walls.
- Infected get stuck when trying to get into crouch only areas when grouped up.

Example of both: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p742qLu9W8M

Can you test if issues persist with the 63# post version?

Video was recorded on that version. Also happens in 1.8 too.
