Got a A10 (Astiro?) headset. Looked like a middle of the line setup and the best one Walmart had to offer in stock that was not wireless. So hopefully they patch it up soon and we can get some multiplayer in.

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

Downloading now. Wish they had fixed the motion blur but hopefully in the next one. They had plenty of stuff to fix.
Yeah, I was also hoping to see them fix and tone down the frequency of requests from enclaves in this patch, but it's a start! A 20 GB patch is insane. Now that they apparently got the large size fixes out of the way, hopefully they'll start making updates to the game that the community has requested.Quote:

Glad to see they're working on crashes and stability. That is always a huge issue. Still wish they would do something about the frequency of enclave requests. I've been holding off on playing SoD2 for the past week in hopes that they would tone the frequency down so I wouldn't end up with so many enclaves either turning hostile or up and leaving entirely because I couldn't respond to all of them in time. I may just have to say fuck it, bite the bullet and deal with pissed off or leaving enclaves. I want to dive back into my new community and have been itching to kill some zombies again.Quote:
Patch 1.3 Highlights
Crash Fixes
- Fixed issue where PC players were crashing on launch if they were in locales that do not support text-to-speech
- Fixed crashes players were experiencing when loading into their communities
- Improved stability
Improved Diagnostics
- Better logging to help troubleshoot startup crashes
- More granular crash tracking between the different Xbox platforms
- Better PC crash reporting
Other Fixes
- General stability improvements
https://www.stateofdecay.com/2018/06...h-1-3-is-live/
Same here on the constant requests from the Enclaves. Tough I generally ignore them and they just leave. Most of the time they are just too lazy to scavenge and want you to do it for them. If only they were looking for a turntable, I got tons of those. ;)
Yeah, I think I'm just gonna say screw it and give in and jump back into my community. I was planning on ultimately moving to Camp Kelenqua or Whitney Field from the starter house in this new community (since I've already done Mazarra Farm and turned it into a self-sufficient base, I want to try something different this time), but after seeing two set ups that people have done at Squelones Brewing Company over on Reddit, I'm now planning on jump straight from the starter house to Squelones and making that my permanent base for this community. Apparently you can become quite the pharmaceutical drug lord thanks to the two built in stills at Squelones. Just build a medical hydroponics (gives you essentially unlimited medicine resource), a pill press mod, make your own ethanol from one of the stills and someone with pharmacologist skill, and you can pump out strong painkillers out the ass. Sell them in a stack of 6 for 204 influence at traders.Quote:

Like playing Skyrim Special Edition on PS4. I would literally spend an entire gaming session doing nothing but fucking around in Whiterun and going from icon to icon on the map in the region around Whiterun just discovering location after location. From the time I left Riverwood to the time I advanced the story enough to fight the first dragon appearance outside Whiterun, was probably literally two weeks in real life. I'd get on for 2 or 3 hours a night when I had time and just do nothing but explore.Quote:

I have spend the other 18 hours sitting in Sanctuary just settlement building. 99% of people would probably be bored to tears watching me do stuff like that, so I never bother streaming games like FO4, Skyrim, GTA V or Final Fantasy or something.
However, a game like State of Decay 2 would actually be sort of perfect. While there is stuff to be done at your base, there is only so much to do. So majority of the time is spent exploring the map, looting houses and buildings and killing zombies, which is actually something that would be interesting to watch.
So next time I get on SoD2, I'll look into setting up a stream. I have used Twitch in the past, but I might try out Mixer or just record to YouTube instead of bothering with Twitch. So if I do get a stream rolling, I'll absolutely let you know!
Yeah I haven't streamed in a long while myself. PS4 is Twitch but I find on xbox MIXER works really well. Not that it matters though as I averaged 1 viewer per stream. lolQuote:

I'm gonna try to finish off the last game or two of my current series against the Padres in my Rockies franchise over on MLB, and then I may jump over on One and play/stream some SoD2 for an hour or two later tonight.Quote:

At the end of my first community, I had over 5,000 influence built up with nothing to use it on other than buying some rucksacks and extra unneeded weapons from traders. So if anything, I may stay at Squelones until I build up a massive bank of influence (10,000+) and then use some to go check out the Camp Kelenqua and Whitney Field home sites, just so I can try and see what setups I can do first hand. I want to try out every home site on every map at least once, that way when I decide to do my ultimate playthrough (keep the community alive and going for as long as possible, exhausting an entire map and moving to a new one and just going from map to map to map until I get bored), I can pick either one or one of between two or three specific home sites each time I move to a new map.Quote:

I'll probably go until 12:30 or 1am EST.Quote:

I've sat here for over 5 minutes each time and never any hint or sign of it actually moving past the loading screen so I could choose my community. Apparently I'm permanently on the sidelines until I can either figure out how to fix this problem or until they release another patch that hopefully fixes this.
That sucks. Have not played since installing the patch so I could be in the same boat. From what I have read the only fix is a complete reinstall of the game (also those posters were PC owners of the game so YMMV) or wait until the next patch.
Yeah, and from what I've read on Reddit, some people who tried the uninstall route ended up being locked out of their two Ultimate Edition packs (Preppers and Doomsday). Even if they went to the Ultimate Edition store page, all it gave them was an option to purchase it again. So they were stuck with just the base game and couldn't use the two packs. So that has me more on the side of the fence of waiting for the next patch.Quote:

I can get an hour of gameplay in here before Jurassic World Evolution unlocks and becomes available to play at midnight.
Really disappointing with some of these patches. This is like the 2nd or 3rd patch just to fix the flipping doors in the game. Still a ton of stuff needs looking over. They did take out one of the most notorious enemies in the game, the ladders. I never fell from a cell tower but billboard towers did more damage to my characters than a Plague Heart. :DQuote:
Patch 1.4 Highlights
Fixed issue with ladders where players would sometimes not mount the ladders properly during descents and as a result fall off and take damage.
Fixed some rare instances of odd follower behavior where players would sometimes lose their follower entirely, or the follower would disappear and then teleport to the player later.
Door state should now always match its visuals. (No more running face first into a door that looks open!)
That's all they fixed? It's a bloody 5 GB I just started downloading, they had better of fixed more than that!Quote:

And right back to the infinite fucking loading screen on the main menu. I guess I'm back on the fucking sidelines once again since they can't figure out a way to fix that goddamn issue. I've been able to play exactly once since Memorial Day, even though I WANT to play, but hard to do so when I can't even access the main fucking menu!

That is all they listed on their site. Sorry to hear you are back to the infinite load screen.
https://www.stateofdecay.com/2018/06...h-1-4-is-live/
Yeah, I thought maybe since I was able to somehow miraculously get past that the other day, maybe they had either fixed the issue or it was somehow corrected itself. I guess not. :fp:Quote:

I'll be damned. I may have fixed the problem, since Undead Labs apparently can't fix it. I was forced to uninstall SoD2 (though only the game, not the two Ultimate Edition packs) and reinstall the game. Just fired up SoD2 and after 10 seconds of loading, it loaded up the main menu. Looks like I can finally continue my community.
Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
Yeah, I'm damn excited. I can get going on my second community again! I want to get to Squellones Brewing and become a drug lord! :D
And Jaymo, if you're around at all this evening (and anyone else who may be interested who reads this), I'm going to do another live stream on Mixer. It's nothing major, I don't bother with having a chat, I don't use my mic, I'm just streaming the gameplay since Jaymo mentioned about doing some streaming in the past. Hoping to make this one a couple hours long, got a lot of lost time to make up for!

Well, I just finally found the right setting for Mixer to automatically archive and keep recordings of my streaming and save them as Videos/Streams on Demand. AFTER I just wrapped up a 4 1/2 live stream of State of Decay 2 as I try to catch up on all the lost time over the past two weeks. So sadly tonight's mega-stream is apparently gone and never to be seen again. Hopefully now that I have that option selected and turned on, future streams will be saved upon my ending them.
Mixer certainly isn't as "plug and play" easy as Twitch is/was. Twitch automatically archives your streams, Mixer, you have to go in and turn a setting on to do so. And I can't even do anything on Mixer on the Xbox One other than start my own stream or find/watch other streams. If I want to actually change any settings or do anything behind the scenes on my account, I have to get on a computer and go to mixer.com. Considering Mixer is Microsoft's baby and their attempt to go up against Twitch/YouTube/whatever other streaming sites out there, you'd think they'd make it so you can actually do and access more things regarding your account on the damn Mixer app on the Xbox One.
Goddamnit. I recruited four new people to my community tonight during a couple hours of playing, and every single one of them are fight starters.
The one especially kills me because he has a 6 out of 7 star pharmacology skill, so I can produce my own strong painkillers. However, he starts fights and he's lazy, so that kills one labor for me.
The second has utilities and electrical, which came in handy with some upgrades, but he also starts fights.
The third one, the newest, doesn't have an extra skill, but I was about to give him either computers or gardening so I could either upgrade my radio to level 3 or work on getting my second hydroponics switched over to producing meds. However he starts fights and kills my morale with - 7 morale for everyone because he's a kleptomaniac.
The fourth one, she's was a fight starter and a hoarder, so she hit me with - 1 beds plus negative morale. When you only have 6 people but need 7 beds because of her ass, yeah, she was only a member of the community for about 15 minutes before I exiled her ass.
I'm debating on exiling all three of my newest members. I have books that I can teach utilities, computers, gardening and chemistry (which can be upgraded to pharmacology) to any new people I replace them with, I'd just have to put in the time getting those skills leveled up.
I'm also debating exiling Arsenault, the first person I added to my original three person community ages ago. She's another fight starter and doesn't have any really good traits.
From a community of currently nine people, I could very quickly find myself dropping all the way to five at this rate, if I go through with all four exiles, in addition to the one person I already previously exiled.
Also, I just figured out why I never discovered Squelones Brewery in my first community I completed back when the game came out. Turns out I had an enclave set up shop in Squelones, and since I was friendly with them, they never left and I never realized at the time that was a home site that they had taken over.
This time I claimed it (while another enclave took over Camp Kelenqua) and for my own built facilities, I have a Workshop 3, Infirmary 3, Barracks 2, Sheltered Beds 2, and 2 Hydroponics (both producing food for now until I can get someone with a herbalism skill and convert one to meds), plus I upgraded the radio to level 2 so far and the built-in storage to level 2 with a further upgrade to refrigerated storage to give me even more extra food and medicine storage.

I generally do not exile those with bad behavior/traits. I take them out scavenging and leave them with only a screwdriver and find a Juggernaut or a horde and let them do the dirty work for me. All the gravestones behind my group are sufficient reminders that you need to play nice with others.
Yeah, but then those assholes still get the last laugh by dragging my morale down when they die. It may be temporary, but their death still dive bombs morale.

Looks like there's more than what was listed in the patch notes.
People on Reddit are saying that they've switched to new maps after the patch and their vehicles have come with them to the new map, whatever vehicles they had parked at their base plus the vehicle they were driving. So it appears vehicles will now transfer with you. And reading further down in the comments, one of the Undead Labs developers commented, saying that was actually always the intent from the beginning, that vehicles would carry over to the new map with you, so it must have been some bug that was keeping the vehicles from coming with you to the new maps.
Another person said you can now give and take rucksacks of resources to or from your follower by simply talking to them, instead of having to put it in a trunk of a car or something and then switch and have the other person pick it up. So some nice little QoL changes that weren't listed in the patch notes.
Can confirm the second one which is a nice add. The Motion Blur options are great. I am toying with low and off. Both are far better than what we had. Not really a big fan of the Independence stuff. Feels too Dead Rising to me and out of place for this game with the crazy vehicles, fireworks, etc.Quote:

Yeah, hopefully they start doing more QoL additions and changes in future patches.Quote:

I agree completely on the map selection. I hate they don't allow you pick your own map for non-tutorial communities. It's obviously possible since you can pick your own map with the tutorial community. That's how I ended up on Meagher Valley for two communities in a row, because I got screwed by not being able pick my own map. I still have yet to experience the other two maps.

Just got patch 2.1
The 'Purchase' DLC button on the Main Menu now works properly for players with new profiles.
The mission 'Builder: Make Your Own Gear' can now be completed if the player has a built-in 'Machine Shop' at their base.
Characters on the Community screen now reorient correctly when changes are made.
Newly selected leaders are now positioned correctly on the Community screen.
Fixed an issue where sometimes newly-recruited community members would overlap or be standing too close to others on the screen.
Characters now properly gain experience in their close-combat specialization when fighting with their close-combat weapon.
Characters who have earned at least a star in their 'Gunslinging' specialization are now able to snap-aim as expected.
The in-game 'Independence Pack' purchase confirmation banner no longer pops up with every player session.
Fixed several missions that occasionally couldn't be completed due to missing items.
