Zombie Night Terror news & patch notes

Here is a small patch to fix some of reported issues.

• Fixed spit projectiles slowed down by stairs and passing through walls in some cases
• Fixed corpses & characters sometimes staying attached to elevators
• Fixed DNA preview Text not being shown
• Fixed some translations
• Tweaked some levels

Due to a engine bug, there was a bug in particle collisions making the game crash in some conditions, it was especially visible when exploding zombies. We've updated the game to a more recent version of Unity that should fix this issue. Unfortunately, the latest version of Unity with this fix is not compatible with 32 bits versions Linux. So, if you are still using one of those, you'll have to keep using the Legacy version version of the game. Let us know if the crash is still happening on this bug thread. Thanks for your support and sorry for the inconvenience.

It's Halloween and the time has come to add new languages to Zombie Night Terror! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/11710248/63a282f2344ff378cf5613cddd3a6e3440f0fe03.png The game is now available in 10 languages including Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Alongside the new languages, here are some highlights of the improvements of this new version:

• New Unity version that should have better performance
• Some bug fixes that were found during the port
• The game size has been drastically reduced, from 1,5 GB when released to 1 GB on version 1.4 to around 500 MB on this version!

On the downside, this version will not be compatible with older version of Windows, macOS and Linux:

• The minimum OS requirement will now be Windows 7 SP1, macOS 10.12 and Ubuntu 16.04 instead of Windows Vista, macOS 10.8 and Ubuntu 12.04

To those who will not be able to upgrade to a newer OS version, a legacy branch with the old version is now available to make sure everyone can keep playing the game. Alongside the PC update, we are also adding Moonwalker to mobile versions available here: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/11710248/b0725535605d73a58b1465c4cb9beb77dcfa0536.png https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/11710248/dea6ae34192a1d43566ce53d400a868e1f6636c3.png Have fun spreading the apocalypse.

The beta have been updated, check it out here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/416680/discussions/0/1739968490552489634/

Some users have had sound issues for a while we have trouble identifying. This version uses a newer version of Fmod that could help with that (or not...) and we need to know, so if you have an error on startup saying the sound cannot initialize, we would like to know if this version is helping. We are doing a beta to know if there are some side effects, so even if you don't have any sound issues, you can test this version and let us know if you have any new problems. If you want to play the very this, follow these steps:

• Go to your Steam Library
• Right-click on Zombie Night Terror and select "Properties"
• Go to the tab marked "Betas"
• In the drop-down box, select "beta"
• Wait for the game to finish updating, you should see the branch name listed after the game name.

There is also a few other fixes:

• Added an option to disable screen shake
• Fixed missing 'sniper 2' fall landing animation
• Fixed being able to open multiple spit menu on a single overlord
• Fixed a glitch when zombie was attacking an enemy through stairs
• Fixed duplicated level ids in custom chapters resulting in progression issues, existing custom levels needs to republished to the workshop to work properly
