Just about to hit my 11th day and still no one with electric skills to upgrade my damn command centre :x can't even find a book to teach that skill. I have took over a power plant and water plant so have electricity and water. Really enjoyed it so far, runs better on my PC obviously and I've decided to lock it to 30 fps on that so it's not too horrible when switching to play on the Xbox. Definitely isn't a constant 30 fps on Xbox but then it hasn't really had a patch after release date which is probably needed.

Can't see myself keeping Game Pass going so think I'll have to buy this.

I can't upgrade my command center either, I think they made the requirements for it a little too stringent. I'm waiting for a patch for stability and MP.

Going to give volunteering my services with a random I think, see how it is myself. I have gooseberry fool loads of resources too.

Tried cheating to get the mule pack achievement (deposit 50 bags in to your supply) by making bags up and putting the straight back in to my supplies. Didn't work :x

Patch 1.2 Release!

Greetings survivors!

While your incredible communities have been busy slaying over 600 million zeds since launch (congrats!), the entire State of Decay 2 team has been working hard to bring you bug fixes, gameplay tune-ups, and quality of life improvements in the 1.2 patch. Please note that the 1.2 patch weighs in at 20GB, making this a significant download that’s just in time for a leisurely weekend of apocalypse survival. This is an automatic update you will be prompted to install upon logging in, and it will not affect your saved game. We are always listening to our fans in order to improve your game experience, and we will continue to bring you updates and additional content as you explore all that State of Decay 2 has to offer.

Some of the most noticeable changes in this patch include stability, performance, and multiplayer improvements. Though as you can probably guess by the hefty 20GB download we’ve also included a huge amount of smaller quality of life fixes throughout the game. Here is a more thorough list of highlighted fixes for those of you that really want to sink your teeth into it

A personal note from Jeff Strain, Studio Head of Undead Labs

Hey fellow survivors, I just wanted to drop in a quick personal note on behalf of the development team to thank you for your support and for jumping in with us on State of Decay 2. This patch today is just the beginning — we have big plans for State of Decay 2, and we’re humbled and appreciative to you for giving us the opportunity to make those big plans happen. Keep playing, keep surviving (or not, as sometimes happens), and stay tuned for more good stuff! — Jeff

Thank you for playing!
Your State of Decay 2 team

18.75GB on Windows 10.

That is a ridiculous patch size, though.

Just goes to show how rough around the edges the game was/still might be.

Surely that’s some sort of record, albeit unwanted, for a console game.

Surprisingly downloaded quite quick on Xbox this morning. That and PUBG updated while I showered but on the PC it had only done half of the update.

That's a big ass patch. Still, if it works then all the better.

Quite a few gamers across the interwebs are stating the game will no longer work for them after the 20gb patch. :fp:

I wonder what is seen as acceptable release criteria these days? How long before someone releases something that is utterly unplayable but OK because a patch is "coming soon".

Yes?

I've put 31 hours into it so far and I'd say 28-29 of those hours were before the stupidly sized patch hit that's broken more stuff. I have yet to even try multiplayer so while I encountered silly bugs I was way clear of the game breaking MP bugs. I wonder if they fixed the community screen that sends your Xbox into furnace mode causing it to overheat and crash.

I'll turn it on and try that one myself now :slol:

Theres no denying its been a shitty generation for Xbox.

Yeah they fixed that bug. Should add I've played about 80% of my time in the game on PC. Still is sub-30 fps on Xbox One X (the world's most powerful console :slol: ) were as I've set my V-sync to adaptive half refresh to lock it to 30 just so it wasn't so daunting switching between the 2 but even 30 on my PC is so much better as theres not a single drop and it looks better at ultra/1080p than it does at 4k on Xbox. Crazy.

I've enjoyed my time spent and I do look forward to what else they add (besides patches to actually fix the game..) I've cleared all hearts from my area so now free to do my sheriffs legacy mission but I'll hold off for now and do other survivor gooseberry fool.

A game that the developer has been working on since 2013, and not from the ground up either, with MS’s money thrown behind it, marketed as an exclusive, needs a 20 gig patch less than 2 weeks after release. And STILL is a janky sub-30fps mess on the xbone x.
Baffling. I played the original to completion on both 360 and the xbone ‘remaster’ (anything but), but this leaves such a sour taste.
