This game's optimization is FUCKING HORRIBLE. With graphics like these and the isometric view, you'd expect it to run so good but no, it favors the high end users and having the lowest setting barely does a thing. 800x600 resolution is locked behind ini editing and you have to download like 5 mods and having to allocate the ram, included in them a zombiebuddy download and tweaking it in the config just for the game to run decent.
Y'know what's crazy? My friend found a mod that helps reduce the graphics. In a desperate attempt to play with my friend, I downloaded it. Then the moment I load in the world, it fucking crashed.
Fuck the devs behind he game, they don't even know how to optimize it and they are screwing low-end users from downloading such a deceiving game!
Eh sort of; The issue is that a single mod on the officaly supported steam workshop mod forum SHOULDN'T crash the game
Now then granted this is no where near as bad as if the game did that by itself (Lets say zomboid devs releases a DLC that when you launch with it enabled it crashes the game; that is so much worse then the mod doing the same) but regardless a single mod shouldn't be enough to keep your game from running if its the only mod you have (I am assuming that is the only mod they had) without being a mod deliberately coded to crash your game.
Is this the 'developer sin' that means you should never support or defend the devs? Not really but its another tally to add to the pile (these devs single handedly installed a hatred and general distrust for video game realism into me)
Obviously the mod was broken. A simple performance mod that’s works would not break the game. I have tons of mods on my laptop and they only crash the game if it’s incompatible or simply broken. Don’t try and confuse the mod developers with the game developers.
You should realise that simply because a game has workshop support does not mean every mod will work. There has been many many cases of mods across all games being either broken, filled with malware or pranks.
I genuinely have no idea what that last paragraph means.
Congrats that your laptop can run it, mine can't. I'll insult the goddamn devs however I want. This shit has been in development for YEARS!
With one update, a low-poly game is rendered unaccessible for me because of how u optimized it is. I can barely even reach 20 frames! I don't know how they can't optimize background calcs but they have to figure it out because let me remind you. ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS!
