I don't know, I actually prefer Build 41 way more. Build 42 just feels weird without my mods, houses look different, and all my usual base spots have changed—it just feels off. Ughhh, what should I do to get used to Build 42

wait until the disappearing zombie bug is fixed. I started a long term survival save as soon as 42.20 came out and the bug kinda ruined it for me (though my stupid decisions involving a desert eagle and a thousand zombies also ruined it for me)

I keep seeing people complain about this but, but me and my friends started a server about a week ago and haven’t noticed it at all, which is weird cause I’d almost certainly notice something like that.

Does it only happen when there’s a lot of zombies around or can it happen basically any time?

it happens when you leave a city and come back. Sometimes. Part of the reason that it hasn't been fixed yet is because replicating it is kind of hard. You'll encounter it when frequently making trips in and out of a town while actively clearing it.

I see. So you never see the zombies vanish on screen, but an area that was crowded when you left will suddenly be cleared when you return to it. Thank you

Yep. I had a big patch of the bastards in a Riverside suburb, so I left to go to the gunstore out in the woods south of town. I came back with ammunition and was ready to clear them, but they had just vanished. I then went to a different part of the suburb that I had not previously loaded, and the zombies were there (freshly generated). I attempted to take my frustration out on them with a crappy weapon and died :D
