Oh

I had a machete already tough.
And i havent seen a "craft" or "combine" or whatever key yet.

Had because i decided to head back into town.
And get zapped by electric zombies.

Hm, those zombies are very, very gimmicky.

I finally had the chance to explore the inside of a lab tough, except for a few rooms containing turrets and a terminal summoning security bots.

[arguablycrassic]

So...the game crashes, I load my game, and now whenever I pick up an item the game hits a segmentation fault. 

[miauw62]

Delete your savefile i guess.
I dont think anything can be done about corrupt saves.


Edit:

I found a broadsword.

Ho ho ho.

(i delete my savefile every game, so i dont have to worry about taking shit that a later me may need)

[Knight of Fools]

Personally, I'm paranoid about keeping backups. Takes a moment to copy the save file, but it's worth it when you die crash.

IIRC the crafting menu is either & or *. Crowbars are pretty great because they'll get you into pawnshops without setting off the alarms, as well as opening other types of locked doors without making a bunch of noise.

Yeah the problem is I'm running virtualbox so that I can get GLORIOUS FULLSCREEN, and have no idea how to backup my save.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

cd Cataclysm && cp -r save savebackup && cd ..

To revert it type
cd Cataclysm && rm -rf save && mv -r savebackup save && cd ..

Finally found a backpack, after an entire day, a bee hive, some wolves and two towns.


edit:

Got spitter-zombie'd.

SERIOUSLY, WTF?
IS THIS SOME KIND OF BOSS?

They are super-strong, barely take any damage, super-fast and they SPIT FUCKING ACID.

GAAH

Yep. They're one of those partially-mutated special zombies usually found in a hospital. I was being chased through a hospital by a horde of zombies with two spitters up front. It was ugly, to say the very least.

Protip: DO NOT get caught in a narrow path if you've got a spitter behind you.

[Kaitol]

On the plus side, their acid can hurt themselves and other zombies as well. Personally, every time I see a spitter I just think, free silent kills.

[UristMcWanderer]

Actually I think spitters are resistant to their own (and any other form of) acids. I'm not entirely sure, though...

[Lectorog]

Most of the special zombies are easy, once you figure out the best way to fight them.
For spitters, just step off of the acid, let them run up to you, and pummel them. Works for shockers, too.
Spitters aren't very strong. Wait until you find a brute a brute finds you. I've been running into them on the second day, mostly.

[Girlinhat]

Spitters are immune to their own acid, but other zombies aren't.  The trouble with spitters is that if you're standing behind a window, they'll gladly make you leave.

Cargo vests, holsters, and army pants will keep you less encumbered.

[arguablycrassic]

Thank you Merchant. EDIT: Says I can't cd to Cataclysm

In my experience, up close with a spitter or a shocker is just asking to die. What I hate more than anything are skeletons. Just because they're harder than balls to hit with a gun, and when you manage to kill it...nothing.
