ZombiU Patch Rises From The Grave To Harass The Living

Great news. It's an awesome game but the glitches forced me to start all over again.

Great, i only d/l'd this last week following it going on sale, still haven't started playing it yet.

Completed x3 times (chicken, normal, survivor)
Not a single glitch for me.

Sold it already and got Tekken Tag 2 so I will never know.

Hopefully we can invert Y axis when scanning using the analog stick.

Never encountered any glitch. This is a console game and the hardware is pretty much the same, so I can't take seriously reports like that...

This gives me a solid reason to pick up where I left off with this game. Wish they had added more online features though...

Luckily I did not encounter any of the bugs when I played it. However, I have heard about the glitches (mostly the one in the disturbing daycare center), and I hope this fixes it for those who encountered them.

I hope they patch in a few more sound effects for cricket bat swings. It's embarrassing when people can hear what sounds like a snuff movie coming from your TV after the first 50 times your survivor screams!

It'll be interesting to hear what this fixing.

@Banker-Style
Already posted it and updated it with official word from a Ubisoft rep. on what is supposed to be addressed. Just sent it over to Damien directly.

@snax007 invert that analogue stick while scanning! Please!

Well loading time for doors aren't fixed...

I just played a bit, through the Nursery and back to the safehouse. Nothing different at all.

Like @3dbrains I've beaten it 3 times before, no glitches. Maybe they'll patch in a glitch for us deprived souls.

SO long as they've removed the game-breaking glitch if you die in the nursery basement (and ideally the one breaking the game if ou try to shortcut from the Thames waterside via the sewer tunnel) then I'll be happy.

Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but if the game-breaking glitch of dying at St. George's Church has been fixed, then I can beat the game without a worry.

When I got to the very end of the game (avoiding spoilers but you know what I mean) the game seriously locked onto a first person view of a guy's hands and I couldn't get it to work after that. So I had to start all over if I wanted to see the ending.

@CerberusAzdin I thought you couldn't reset the game unless they changed it ?

@Peppy_Hare: Your point?

I thoroughly enjoyed playing ZombiU. I grew attached to each character (even if they did look ignorant and such) because of the skills and points that I accumulated as I progressed. Death meant starting all over in my efficiency and in my score. Perma-Death definitely had a lasting impression on me.

I think it really depends on if you had the disc or DLC version on whether you encountered the glitch. Mine glitched on the DLC version and I had to start over, because the game had already declared me permadead with no zombie to loot in order to get my supplies back.

@SCAR392 I don't think so. My copy is a launch day disc.

Bought this shortly after my Wii U and still haven't opened it yet. Maybe someday I will get around to it.

@CoffeeWithGames : where did you post it ?

@Kilroy
Have you encountered the glitch? I was saying the DLC version is probably more prone to the glitch.

My game is still unplayable after applying the update!! Been waiting 3 months to carry on playing. My game says 'survive arena' and return to safe house both of which I have done but the game won't cross them off!!!! Arrrghhhh

it would be good just to play on gamepad instead of having to sit up all night on tv.

@Ducutzu
There is a well known glitch that happens when you die in a certain area you cannot pick up a mission item again. I never had it but it was pretty common.

Just read the list of patches addressed. Crazy after 7 play throughs I never encountered a single one of those. The ONLY thing I encountered was in the Nursery basement, before the nurse appeared, a friends dead zombie was down there, and i quickly killed it and went to loot it, when the Nurse came at me, I couldn't exit out of the loot screen no matter what button I pressed, not even hitting 'Start' to pause worked. I panicked, and this was during a Survivor run so I had to hit the Home button and reset to the wiiU menu to avoid an inescapable death.

Great, now maybe I'll actually be able to finish ZombiU after getting stuck by the nursery glitch.

@CoffeeWithGames I read ur article on the zombiu patch and review great articles but had trouble leavin a comment so i sent u an email

Thanks 4 the info

Miiverse community suggested this patch had actually caused more problems than it had solved. But the sealed door in the nursery basement has apparantly been sorted. (If you jump down the whole after previously clearing it).

@CoffeeWithGames Hopefully they will update this article and give u credit since u were the first one to post the actual details about the patch i believe thats good journalism

@CoffeeWithGames
Nice site.

@adrenochrome The article is posted here http://www.coffeewithgames.com/2013/03/zombius-first-patch-is-live-opposite-of.html
@SetupDisk - it is a nice site. He does a lot of data/hours postings, so it's different from the normal types of articles you see on sites, even my site doesn't do it. Oh and if you have Sonic Racing Transformed, you should challenge @CoffeeWithGames to a race. I beat him every time (lol!), but it was still fun racing him! (Sorry, off topic.)

@CoffeeWithGames
I'm still stuck at the nursery basement. I updated the game with the patch, went to the basement and same problem. Do you know if I need to kill myself so that antibiotics are available again?

Does anyone know how to scape from the basement after the patch? do we need to follow other steps? im really mad, I was really hoping to continue playing it since 2 months ago

@JAPBOO
I think if you experienced a glitch prior to the patch, that you might need to start a new file. It seems that some that experienced glitches before the patch, and try to continue the game where they first got stuck/glitched, can't continue right now.

I would say just wait another week to see if there's more on it, or just start another file, which should hopefully allow you to play through without any issues.

@CoffeeWithGames All right, didn't want to restart again, this is the only game my wife likes to watch me playing, and she was more anxious than me when the patch was out.

will follow your advice as it make sense, but then I might restart the game in some more months as I have other games to complete. Maybe by then, there will be a solution, thank you!
