Oh boy! New update!

Though, I've yet to see an update mention that followers and (follower items) become more useful. Though, if you do get bored somehow, try to keep a gaggle of followers.

Cell phones and followers are some of the most useless little things in the game.

Should tell that to my 3 near maxed out followers. Pretty hard for anything to stop 4 people with firearms level 3. Not to mention they are great pack mules.

Anyone get how GPS works in this game?

Unless its part of the new update......if you are talking about the Z-tracker and the spec ops GPS, it works as follows.

Yea, they're good, handy devices. I always keep one at the fort.

Hmmm, I don't know why I can't see anything on the mini map when I use either of those.

On a more sad note....

Also, the normal hospital and hospital basement music is pure nightmare fuel. If any of you have good wiki-fu, create a Tvtropes article for Rouge Survivor. I wouldn't even know where to start with making a whole new article, myself.

That sounds like a nightmare to me. The largest irk I have with followers is that they always seem to get sleepy earlier than you! Unless you're good at syncing with them, then it's easy to deal with that many followers. You haven't changed the rules have you? Or are you save scumming by any chance?

Cellphones are still useless IMO, unless they've changed of course. I've yet to see one for some strange reason. Personally, I'd like it if in future updates you start with a cellphone that doesn't take up any space and only occasionally needs new batteries (maybe every two or three days); the same should go for companions. Speaking of changes, I've noticed that there do not seem to be as many items left in shops; how long has this zombie thing been going on for? Anyway, I've yet to use a grenade. Someone tell how it works.

In all honestly, RS falls flat on it's face when it comes to handling resources. Of course, this does make it more difficult. On that note, I do realize it's still very early.

I like your game, but why are commercial stores so easily convertible to fortresses? Shouldn't they have more windows (especially storefront windows) and such?

There could be also include back-exit firedoors (building codes and regulations?). And maybe there could be an alarm system whenever a door is smashed.

Man this doesn't work at all. I'm going to check out the dev page, see if there's something I'm doing horribly wrong..

EDIT: Yyyyup, it's my graphics card.
What graphics card do you have?  RS has been crashing for me which is unusual... It didn't crash during old versions.

Intel 965 mobile. They are the worst possible video cards to have, and according to the site, Intel cards barely work with this game, if at all.

Ah.  Yeah, Intel cards have been problematic it seems.  I guess my computer was just acting up because RS is running fine at the moment.

Does this happen with any other Windows 7 users? (I am using W7 64 bit Ultimate if you need to know) the game just stops responding and you have to task manager it.

NPCs will give you 'hints' as to what they saw when they bump into you. Cellphones will let your followers tell you immediately of enemies they see; therefore a follower with a cellphone as a gaurd in your HQ will be able to notify you if your shit is getting wrecked back home.

Shops generally start out as 80-90% filled shelf space. Obviously survivor NPCs can spawn in shops, take some of the items, and it'll take you a while to get to the store, so of course some things will be missing. More so if you let them sit for a few days as zombies break the door perminately, the survivors get zombified from them or from hunger, and random suvivors wander in and take things.

Distribution failure, not quantity or quality failures.

Stores are death traps; One way in, one way out. Of course, building layouts and styles can and probably should be improved. I'd love to see a store that actually utilized a check-out counter and internal walls; or that the building was considered as a "warehouse" in which case the all-shelves layout is fine. As well, residential buildings where one or more of the rooms was knocked out and turned into an alley, parking lot, or green area (or just a plain old fenced-off yard)

Windows XP. RS does lock up randomly when i use it as well. Never locked up in 4.0 as far as i can remember. However, i don't think it locks up on the first game that i play. It only seems to lock up on the second/third character.
