-----Known Issues:
Unity Game Engine has a bug that does not allow dynamic shadows on any lights except directional. (so no realtime shadows inside the school in this build)
Missions don’t always synchronize properly for players in coop
There are positions that players can exploit to kill zombies without danger of getting hurt
There are still some AI issues with the boss
Camera clipping through walls/ceiling
Performance hiccups
Memory leak crash to desktop
Mouse pointer pops up in-game (tapping ESC twice is temporary fix)
Visual bug with bullets if the player’s back is too close to a wall
Character shader does not display properly on Macs with Intel integrated graphics (should work fine on dedicated graphics chips)

-----Please Give Us Feedback/Bug Reports On:
Feel of Combat
Control scheme (can be customized in Options)
Is it too slow? Too fast? What would you change and how?
Too easy? Too hard? Do zombies deal too much damage? Too little?
If you could change one thing to make combat feel better, what would it be?
How is the new networking solution?

-----UI:
How is the FOV?
Is there anything we should change on the HUD?
What do you think of the menu navigation UI?
Are there any elements that are unclear or confusing, and how could we make them better for you?

-----Network Functionality:
Is it working? what problems are you having? how are you encountering them?
How does the new networking solution work for you?
Brief Explanation of Issue
Where You Encountered It
How It Happened / Conditions (how many players/zombies/equipped weapon/location/were you using a skill?/etc.)
Can you make it happen again?
Please test disconnecting as both the host and client during a mission to see if anything goes wrong - if it does, let us know!
Saving your log file immediately after your networking issue or crash is very helpful to us. You have to save it before playing another game or it will get rewritten. You can find the file here:
