I transfered my saves to the latest experimental build 8168 and met with “gamebreaking” bug. Mobs started to cope themselves. Fisrt i thought it is fine… I killed ~40 crawaling zombies at night… But in the morning i noticed huge pack of giant snakes. And i mean really huge. Other animals also increased in numbers. Opossums for example. I wonder what souls i do now…

You should roll back to your save backup you made before changing versions.

If you don’t have one, roll back to an earlier build and then debug-kill the excessive monsters.

Okay then. I hope i won’t meet it again. Any ideas what triggered It? I thought it appeared because of me starting new char On the same shelter for lootscuming.

Man, I was wondering why my game had started lagging horribly!

I reloaded an earlier save, and then found there were thousands of giant crayfish outside my mansion base.

I’ll try again, once the fix is up… 😉

Just looted a hosue and went out… found 50+ Giant web spiders + 100 Fungal zombies + 10 fungal blooms there weren’t there before I entered… on my way back to base that repeted itself. 😅

Sidenote: This is with the latest build AND a wholly new character/save and even world

Sometimes there is a time-gap between the changes appearing, and the update actually becoming available on the servers… 🙂

This is an existing save after updating, which I had just added a couple of mods to and changed the tileset. Went back into town, saw a Biollante and some plague nymphs, which I hadn’t seen before. Started clearing out the bunch of zombies I knew were there, turned around to get to a more favorable position, and…

SUDDENLY, _ **BEARS!** _ DOZENS OF THEM!

Now, fortunately these things can’t really hurt me, but what the actual hell? This is in the middle of a city, I’m currently surrounded by a few houses, a liquor store, and a garage, and I’m inside an office, where I found 3 of them _inside a closed room._

Guess I have work to do. **Deus Vult.**

Habitat destruction is a horrible thing.

…And here’s a few hundred crows. That’s a lot of murders.

See that minimap? Yeah. There’s got to be at least a thousand.

It’s probably the bug that Kevin mentioned reverting, it caused monsters to duplicate rapidly.

Alt+F4 it is. Let’s see if one of the shiny new versions fixed it.

EDIT: Yes. Went back to the same area and there is only one bear. I have to admit I’m slightly disappointed.
