Developer Patch 2017/08/14 ''After a lot of troubleshooting and a lot of work investigating some issues, also thanks to a lot of player reporting issues, we have a "small" hotfix ready. This isn't really that much of a hotfix but more an actual patch since the amount of work we've put into this is insane. A LOT of crashes have been fixed and we have fixed a lot of other stuff. Here's all the fixes:''

GENERAL UPDATES
Fixed a huge issue preventing some people from starting their game. After the latest patch we released before the weekend there has been player's that were u﻿nable to start their game. This issue is now fixed. Fixed an issue causing private servers to crash other servers on the same machine when they expire. This crash has been happening since the release of the original Infestation and was a major / very common crash related to the private servers. We are very happy we've been able to fix this issue. This will increase the private server performance with a lot. Fixed the issue where we w﻿eren't abl﻿e to sell the new character parts. We are now able to start selling them like planned. Our excuses. Fixed a texture issue related to one of the new zombies that caused the hair of the﻿ zombie to be wro﻿ng / glitched. Fixed an issue related to one of the skyscraper buildings. There was some issues with the doors. This is fi﻿xed. Example Fixed a total of 3 Server and 11 Client Crashes. (We are sorry we can not go more in depth about these fixes but thanks to all players that uploaded crash dumps / reported crashes we have been able to do a lot of work related to improving the stability﻿ of the game.) Fixed a server crash related to the player report system. Also improved the player report system. Fixed an issue related to the ping limit system. The whole system is improved and should work better now. Fixed some issues related to private servers in Hong Kong and South America causing "client must be updated". Fixed an issue that prevented cars to be placed down while moving. The 2 new zombie types are now confirmed to be spawning in Caliwood, Colorado V2, Colorado V1. Removed 3 Steam achievements that were no longer possible to get due Battle Royale ga﻿me-play changes. (Removed: "Double the trouble!", "We are a team!" & "2 hero's". ﻿ Also we would like to give a special and huge thanks to all players that have been helping us fixing crashes / performance issues / any other issues related to the stability of the game. Please keep uploading your crash dumps if you crash and report them on our forums. With your help we are able to fix these kind of issues much faster and easier. Once again, thanks!
