Make sure you don't enter donut mode. Start driving, apply e-brake and start to drift. Apply nitrous as you start drifting but don't tilt the stick all the way. It's more power sliding than a burnout. Also put on the worst tires.
Hmm, I'll have to try the tires maybe. The rest is exactly how I'm doing it.
I platinumed at 1.07 and only noticed that level of pop-in in *one* specific instance in the game. The game's running off of an SSD for me, so not sure what was going on. It was definitely not widespread.
Have you tried 1.09 now? The difference between 1.05 and 1.09 was shocking. I'm still continuing my second time through, but I would have been pissed if I updated during my first time through. It was annoying having to stop the update every time I turned on my system but worth it in the end.
Hm just had a nasty bug after completing
mission.
Every mission I would get afterwards would no longer appear on the map, nor would there be any directions: just the mission briefing on the top.
Loaded a previous save, hope it won't happen again.

Platinum trophy acquired! What an enjoyable game and a stellar effort by Bend. Some tweaks here and there and trimming the more rote parts of the game and a sequel could be massive. The public's desire from zombie and even quasi-zombie fiction is always strong and I think Bend made a great entry that will sit next to Dying Light as one of my favorites.
Had no idea about the triangle swap functionality, been using the wheel the whole time, dang.
Just did the juniper horde, but right when I got there (daytime) it looked like the horde was coming out of the cave. Burned them all out, but it didn't count towards the horde bar depleting. After I went right in the cave and the whole horde was there with a full bar. Don't know if that was a bug or not, but at least I got to collect the ears from the "extra" horde.

I haven't picked up the game since platinuming it a few days back, but now I'm hesitant to lol.
Except that all of the freakers would inevitable run straight for you and set you on fire in turn.
Yeah, I found the majority of reviews to be very misleading on this one. I enjoyed it a great deal.
Yeah, I learned about it pretty early on but I hardly ever used it. In hindsight, it probably would have made some things easier.
I'm going to go horde killing when I play next. My usual strat is attractor plus pipe bomb but now I have the tommy gun so I'm going to rip through em. I have the .50 cal for any big dudes.
I like to sneak up on the mob, activate focus and toss a few molotvs, then retreat a bit and mow a bunch down with the Tommy Gun, then hop on my bike and put some distance between us. Then I get off the bike and start picking off more.
I did kite a horde around to a camp once which killed most and then I just rode in circles on my bike taping the fire button and switching targets for the rest. Eventually the horde starts to break apart if you get them too far it seems but the camp lookouts made short work out of them.
I've been just straight-up buying frag grenades because of the holes they punch into the hordes, better than pipe bombs.
The biggest shortage of resources I've noticed is cans, you need them to make attractors and proximity bombs. They just don't respawn much in the cleared-out camps. You need to go scavenging into houses and such to find more.

Most of the hordes are actually really small and manageable with a bit of planning.
Yeah, I might be done. I'm not sure how far I got. Did a handful of missions past the third settlement. Just very bored.
But damn it if the game isn't great looking. But I think it's the visuals that kept me coming back.

Sounds about right to me, but there are about 13 side missions in the last big camp and I can't recall how many you need to do to proceed. But 20h should be enough iirc.
also finding the same stretch your in right now pretty painful. having bears/wolves/crows/snipers, plus all the freaker varieties, pile on me every time i'm out fetching someone a package of oreos or something (which i seem to be doing an awful lot in this section) is just sorta getting incredibly old. i've enjoyed the game, but, for me, it's come to define the concept of 'wearing out your welcome' :) ...
Ok, thanks. the game requires side missions in order to proceed at that point?
If you've done Iron Butte, then the last areas of the map have about
42
Making my way through the second half of the game and things have picked up narrative wise. I'm actually pretty impressed with a couple moments, one in particular when Sarah's attempt at a cure fails and kills the newt. Deacon's entire response almost felt out of character for him but I guess that was the point. Seeing him actually trying to find some hope in the situation instead of just trying to get through was pretty well executed. Probably one of the best emotional beats so far. Kind of curious where this all leads now. Good stuff and I can't wait to see how this all finishes out.
Almost one month later... still the most popular game on PSN Profiles
Finished, good game overall, my major complaints are excessive loading, and repetitive quests. I would give a 7.5
Was this crazy drop in LOD quality a trade off for more stable frame rate?
Because the drops in frames didn't bother me nearly as much as this ridiculous amount of object pop-in.

Nah, the whole map is accessible in the endgame.
And for the record I've been trolling around Copeland's forest in 1.09 exploring and taking out zombies for hours and hours after completing everything except 100%ing collectibles and haven't noticed any pop in. I assume it's the long view distances in the other areas where you guys are seeing it more often.
Played about three hours so far. It feels slow right now. Not sure if it's clicked in yet with the controls and gameplay (coming off Sekiro), but I will put some more time toward it tonight.
Story so far has been interesting.

Is the sound still wonky with solo enemies? Last time I played they sounded like they were near you when in actuality they were on the other side of camp.
Same here. I was actually fine with the infrequent drops. After I got the platinum I figured screw it and updated. Big mistake.
Here's a few videos I took:
I maxed out my stamina early on and if you do you don't even need to plan or use traps. Just buy the Chicago chopper and RPD and you can gun and run. If you run far enough away the horde starts retreating back to their hiding spot, so you follow them and repeat the process. Even the sawmill horde you can fudge with enough stamina.

Oof. Yeah those are horrible. It absolutely was not that bad before.
After doing a bunch of the late-game-area hordes I went back to cascade and couldn't believe it, you're not kidding!
They were actually a moderate threat in the early game when you first start running into them, but when you have all the late-game gear, there's not much to them.
I noticed the bad LOD at launch. I think its thw area and not the patch. Uninstall the patch and make a video on that.
Yeah took me a few hours for it to click and felt really slow initially. But once I put some more time in the next day and it all felt really good, especially as the story and gameplay open out more.
This game made me research buying a motorcycle 😂
But I found out I need a separate license for it, so nevermind.
Love just riding around.
