The MOST DETAILED Update 38 Video You Will Ever See! State of Decay 2

[@Jackfromshack]

Undead Labs deserves all praises. Fantastic run with SoD2, and after all, they didn't even have to support it for so much years, but they did.

[@zinnr]

End of an era for sod

[@cloke3076]

Nah. SoD3 is coming soon :D. I hope.

[@swordre5805]

​@@cloke3076 I doubt it will be good but we have to wait and see.

[@cloke3076]

@@swordre5805 why not though? It is being done by the same people who has gifted us SoD2 and SoD1. Like literally the same people. + as we can see they don’t rush the project, so I guess it will be done thoughtfully.

[@supergogetamario]

@@cloke3076Time really. How much dev time has gone into the Sod3 compared to sod2’s amount of updates? It’s likely will suck on launch. The devs will most likely work on it as much they did sod2.

[@fihamahmed5574]

@@cloke3076 I hope they add some new things in the game. If it's almost same as sod2 with updated graphics and maps, it would be very disappointing.

[@samuelantoniocastillomeza5034]

For being the final major update, I'm happy with it. I wonder what SOD3 will bring when it releases.

[@tralarimtamtum4899]

more gay shit, that's for sure

[@suddenfoil6976]

just want to say thank you RvidD, for all your great videos. You do great work and look forward to your videos when SoD3 comes out

[@CoffeeMuggee]

Interesting to see them balancing the staging area+leeds concrete, I personally don't use the combo to make tons of materials since I just don't see the need for that much materials. Hope the hotfix for the staging area comes in soon though.

[@guanjah8186]

Das nenne ich Leidenschaft. Wunderbar! Danke für das Video. Ich hoffe du bleibst uns bei SoD3 auch erhalten.

[@ErickLegue]

Great work as always, very informative videos, and I'm glad you're back to using your own voice to narrate

[@Aruzien]

I'm still happy the update the game from time to time, I started the game late (Last year or two possibly) but became fan of SOD and can't wait for State of decay 3. Honestly glad the team still passionate about the game

[@dreground]

Hi. Thanks for the video. If you are aware, tell me, will they fix the problem of some weapon descriptions disappearing when changing the muzzle nozzle?

[@StateofDecayScience]

If it is not fixed in the current version of the game, it won't be fixed anymore

[@carlosisr]

Thanks for the video and staying on watch for the updates and bugs, keep it up!

[@Bigchungus52227]

I made so many Memories with this game Life was so good when Sod2 dropped, and if Sod3 is anything like the last game you know ima be buying it day 1 😅

[@fearlesswee5036]

A shame the zombie spawning stuff they talked about didn't make the cut; where as you cleared out an area of zombies, they'd spawn much less frequently in that area from then on, enabling you to actually feel like you were clearing out areas of the map, and it'd add an entirely new level of strategy to Lethal zone.

[@Veritas.0]

Hope they fix the bugs (especially the mystery message mission crash) before they go completely hands off.

[@pickleinspector5948]

Excellent break down! Just to note, they released the hotfix to address the annoying stage area bug, so the notication and crashing is fixed but not sure about that specific quest

[@QuirkyAvik]

I used to play State of Decay a lot and make simple let's play videos for years, never found any Indian audiences for the game. I kept with SOD2 videos and streams still the same but I did notice a small amount of Indian audiences. I am happy to see a Indian channel making these sort of videos on SOD. Might get back on the train once I sort some things out in life. SOD 1 was literally the only game I played for many years.

[@zantar2482]

Stand in ovation for this dev team.

[@StrangeUncle01]

Smashwagon is now officially the best vehicle in the game as it has the best balance of features all around. 10 cargo, 4 seats, top speed, good durability, good fuel efficiency, good range, good acceleration, good handling, good water performance AND can be climbed for safety, though not as easily as other options. That's a hard to beat combo. _ A Vandito kind of guy.

[@edmonddantes759]

Great update but one thing I want is it a survivor groups "demands" supplies like meds or plague cure then they should atleast try to reach your base? Why should I stop doing what I do at the moment and drive in the other end of the map to give them what they are demanding. Also there are radios there are quests like you have to physically visit survivor group to check on them like that trader quest where you visit three groups to setup a trade. Well why not use our radio for that!!!??? Still a great game and I'm very much enjoying it!

[@THumanQTip]

Got a message today in response to a bug report on the staging area/upkeep glitch. They promised a quick bigfix to that and a couple of other things.

[@Phantom-wu9su]

Firstly thank goodness for no zombies from a search crash. I think it's part of a larger issue that can/cannot be seen as an issue. My problem is, there's zombies everywhere. They spawn anywhere, no thought. They shouldn't spawn in, like 3 pigs or cows from Minecraft. With a more realistic approach, it'd mean anywhere not considered a hotspot would be mostly zombie-less... Rough idea I'd try coding, is cities have more zombies than most areas, as well perhaps a roaming horde of zombie that scour the city/area. Also I don't want to flip through character selection screen, for over an hour many times, because we/I want characters to end the game with, like 165 health characters.

[@brygs8]

I thought patch notes said you can now deposit ruck sacks at Outposts. Not working for me. Is it broken or am I missing something?

[@waynezavotsky5289]

It's for Landmark Outposts, you still have to upgrade regular Outposts to rank 2 first.

[@brygs8]

THANKS!​@@waynezavotsky5289

[@boychowskibrothers]

Feels like the Haven device still takes too long to kill zombies in some instances, but feels great during a siege. My Haven device seems to be bugged though, just stops working completely after playing for a while, even if you dismantle it and build a new one.

[@rocketmaniscool]

Are the tracer rounds available for this last update? It would have been cool to have it in sliders we can turn on or off.

[@StateofDecayScience]

It’s kinda disappointing the game still crashing in multiple ways lagging i feel like they increased more zombies frame rate drops poorly update.

[@sandygillilan1169]

I always love your channel ^_^!

[@JosepPi]

I felt there was so much hype around the zombies not spawning when making noise but I don't see anybody really going deep in to the system. Maybe it's too early to be asking for this? Does this change how we approach lethal or even nightmare difficulty, gameplay wise? Anybody have some thoughts about this here? I believe this community is very knowledgeable about these subjects! :)

[@StateofDecayScience]

Zombie spawn system has not been revamped. Only the search crash spawn was fixed. Spawn revamp was abandoned by the devs

[@JosepPi]

@@StateofDecayScience oh I did not knew that. Thanks for telling me

[@brightpath3053]

so for me the staging area is not working. it keeps saying "require upkeep cost". Any thoughts?

[@WhiteFoamDispenser]

It's bugged to absolute hell. It constantly gives off in-game messages about upkeep and noise. It does not provide any material upkeep reduction, only construction time reduction buff. And it gives some ridiculous stuttering and freezes at random, especially when logging in or a new mission popping up, longest I had was 43 seconds of frozen screen. I tried a fresh install, unmolested game - same crap. My game is currently unplayable.

[@StateofDecayScience]

@@brightpath3053 It won't provide materials anymore.

[@orionpeterson3042]

Its too bad they were unable to actually fix the surprise power launch follow attacks. Also typical that a few random bugs popped up with the several bug fixes offered.

[@StateofDecayScience]

@@orionpeterson3042 Surprise power launch?

[@BeardedGamerPlaysGames]

I have probably done the Mysterious Broadcast Mission at least 2 dozens of times and never having any problem doing them. I know there were many threads on Steam about it and it crashed because people were using either a mod manager or mods that were outdated.

[@StateofDecayScience]

Were those missions from cell towers? Because there are a few different versions of mysterious broadcast missions present in the game

[@BeardedGamerPlaysGames]

​@@StateofDecayScience Yes I'm talking about the mysterious broadcast mission were you get a mission to visit either a cell tower or the big water tower. Then when you get close enough you open the map and there will be a drop on the map. Set a manual marker on the map and drive over to the marker and it's a cleo drop that you can open and it contains loot. I'm not 100% sure but it seems like it's always the silenced 5.56 rifle that you loot the first time if you make a new community. These "Red Talon mysterious broadcast mission" will continue to pop up here and there (you know it's those missions if it points you to a cell tower or the big water tower) and eventually if you go and get all those cleo drops. You will end up with a silenced 5.56 rifle, silenced 9mm smg, silenced shotgun, silenced pistol (not the 9mm or .22 cal but the other last pistol type). The weapons are the same that is in one of the bounties that you can do to get a hold of several different silenced guns. It's not always silenced weapons in those cleo drops though. Sometimes it's a crossbow instead and a rucksack of resources and some bolts. And yes I know there are other mysterious broadcast missions. One is that there is a group that wants you go and get a plague cure for them. If you go to that drop there will be a plague cure in the drop but also the equipment you install in a facility to craft scentblock, bloater cloud grenade etc. Another mission is that they left a van behind and there is loot in the van but they left it behind because there is a juggernaut there. I'm not 100% sure but I also think the mission where you go and there is one man/woman and they tell you to go and find there friend. Their friend will give you 1 scentblock when you get to them and after that the house will come under heavy attack. If you manage to get the friend away from that in one piece you can get another 4 scentblock as a reward. I think that mission is also a mysterious broadcast mission but I'm not 100% sure. There might even be more "Mysterious Broadcast Missions" but those are the ones I come to think about immediately.

[@zantar2482]

I don't like the water slowing vehicles. I don't see any value added.

[@StateofDecayScience]

@@zantar2482 I too don't like it. 10-20% speed reduction would have been nice, but 50% on some vehicles is too much

[@MSFTJustice]

Or the fact it is advertise as a quality of life update. I just recently got into SOD 2 a few weeks ago and found the nice water highway on providence, I believe that is the map. Now lumbermill is even in a worst spot with the water changes

Honestly, for a final update, this feels kind of weak. I was expecting so many finishing QOL updates and bug fixes. Instead we get a few more bugs, some nerfs to vehicles, and one QOL update (which in my opinion, is nice, but not really game changing.) Was kind of expecting a little more. Hopefully they decide to release one more patch to fix the bugs the update created or didn't fix that it was supposed to.

[@DrawTheHero]

Anyone struggle with random crashes? I cannot seem to fix it for the life of me. Any help would be appreciated!

yeah dude it happens everytime i load my community and im sure its because i get an instant mission pop up and im already at the place when it first crashed but now its spawning me into the same mission trigger and crashing as a result

This game suffered from many problems including a lack of interesting mechanics and content. And yet, they focused their time and resources on pointless things like water drag on vehicles... Sod 3 is doomed.
