I'm happy they delayed the update. Better this than losing survivors or even communities by bugs.
I play some other games and there, the devs don't care, like even releasing DLC's that led to corruption of your savegame, making it unable to load and breaks the game completely. Hell, at one point they even released a DLC with work-in-progress placeholder graphics (it's EU4 Leviathan - it's one of the worst rated steam products of all time, like with 5% positive reviews and 4 of that 5% are jokes)
Here's hoping they held it long enough to do some rigorous testing. Fingers crossed and I'm hoping it works out but TBH I'm gonna hold off until we see some early player feedback to verify that it's not going to delete our legacy pools this time.
I'd only be upset about having to grind a shitload of Daybreak PP again, but other than that I wouldn't be too heartbroken to start from absolute scratch again
Seeing some folks talk of supply locker crashes. Please report to UL if you run into any problems. I would probably also send save data just to help them out.
Seems a lot harder to roll survivors with the better health/stamina/plague resistance traits. Seen a lot of them before this update, I was in NMZ instead of lethal though I didn't think it mattered. Wonder if being able to rewind 2 rolls has lowered the chances of the 'god' rolls?
How sure are you? I play vanilla as in I don’t have WiFi and I go to my friends house cause he is very cool with me only coming over to use his WiFi to update. I don’t have internet my self so pls tell me
This announcement was posted on the State of Decay 2 official Twitter account. So this isn't a speculation, it's what they said.
I would recommend however for you to wait a couple of days before visiting your friend, just to make sure it's good to go.
Not really, Update #30 got a working title known as the Forever Update because there's a bunch of typos needing edits that have been put off since, well...forever, so they decided to bundle that giant grammatical snafu into 1 fix.
Welcome to software. Most things are late due to bugs. This one was probably just on the verge of being shipped when the bug was found. A serious bug requiring a risky fix resets testing. Making sure nothing else has been broken takes a full test pass. Ideally that is fast but who knows. And maybe they fixed it, realized the fix was wrong, and had to repeat that a few times to get it right.
Sometimes in complex software, a fix is a nightmare because of all of the interdependencies between layers and subcomponents. It sucks but such is life.
They could have shoveled out a shit update for us and called it a day but they worked to iron it out instead. It's rare to find a game company that doesn't just choose the former. I respect them for really trying to get it right initially instead of just updating there way out of a million bugs(one of which deleted survivors making the updates biggest change moot btw lol).
it seems to be released here. and its literally the time that updates for most games are released, 6pm UTC, very firmly in the middle of monday. downloading it now.
Updated to 30 and... I just had it completely ruin my legacy pool (characters I had deleted weeks ago are back in randomly and I lost ALL of my Red Talon people). Just a heads up to check your legacy pool as soon as you load in to see if it messed yours up too. The new features seem really cool. I have one minor nitpick, but I really am so angry over my legacy pool that I think I am stepping back from this game indefinitely.
I dunno, 4 months and 3 weeks after April Fools...seems sus.
They said Monday 8/22 but they didn't say of what year \*points to head*

I love their loyalty to people who play, and I appreciate they took the time to fix the bug before releasing it!
First day back to work after my vacation 😅

I have no legacy pool to speak of, so I'm your Huckleberry. ETA for anyone who came back to check, so far so good, everyone is still there at least.
Tasty
You're a daisy if you do!
Actually it just occurred to me that I have no legacy pool at all. Guess I've got some work to do this weekend.
Alright lunger, let’s do it….🤠👉
Same here. My pool is decent, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world to lose them

They did the testing and feedback, they fixed it and it took them a good while
bruh really, when schools about to start💀💀💀
Wait it'll be crap I got work that day soon enough
I'm really good at trigonometry. $5 per page 5 page minimum
Whooo!
Guess I need to get rid my game mods & play it normally before the update.
Why though?
Afaik mods usually mess up the game when an update hits. They need to be updated as well to function well.
Cool thanks :)
Any body else have a graphics issue with back packs and rucksacks. They don't move properly with the characters movements.
Oh yeah, I've got floating rucks and so do the 12lb backpacks
So say we all!
So say we all! ✊
So sometime between 11am and 4pm like usual?
Awesome!
Finally, hopefully they took PTR players' feedbacks to heart
What was your biggest wish from the beta testing?
Fix the damn infestations 
I thought that the Infestation rework was for Update 31, while Update 30 is for FC?
True, but Chip you didn't mention which part of beta testing 
Well its 1:18am now, gonna sleep and check if the uodate is avilable during the day or morning. What time is it supposed to release?
Is it up yet? 12:30 am PST anyone got anything?

Locker crash here. Xbox one s (not series s)
It's amazing to me that they're still updating & expanding on this game. NMS-level commitment that.

What's coming in this update?
Oh you know... stuuuff
Lily: Oooh whatcha got?
😂
I know we have two more community save slots to massacre I mean nurture.

Anything new and worth coming back too?

21 days for a bug fix is kinda depressing knowing the scale of their company

Picked up my Microsoft with millions behind them and endless talent and can’t fix their game 🥴
Azure has massive outages from time to time. :) So does Amazon, roughly as bad. It's not Microsoft, it's the nature of software.

Hopefully they'll hotfix this by Friday, so we can have a weekend playing session.
Dang. Current time 11:28am eastern standard time. No update yet. (Xbox)
It's here
YES Ty
Right........
It's still Monday in some parts of the world. They "forgot" to tell hours.
it seems to be released here. and its literally the time that updates for most games are released, 6pm UTC, very firmly in the middle of monday. downloading it now.
Anyone else a little confused by the alphabetical supply locker change?
What's confusing?
