I just downloaded the Gog patch and the hotfix (whatever that means) and it now seems as if the zombies have become turbocharged. Instead of the Romero-style shuffling slow zombies I am accustomed to and love, they have appeared to become the super-fast modern style "fast" zombies that I despise.

I'm looking for a patch, mod, fix or whatever to turn this back into a decent game. Zombies should not be as fast as the bandits! It makes the game too difficult, spoils the "feel" of the game, just ruins everything.

Plus, the patches don't seem to have fixed anything. My game still Crashes to Desktop about once every hour of play.

I also see that there are "modes" such as Iron Man, etc. Unfortunately, none of these are "Easy" modes. Hey, developers, not everyone out here is a masochist. Some of us need an Easy mode so that we can learn the game without getting fed up and frustrated. The way the game is not, it feels like you punish every single choice and action.
The game feels un-winnable.

Think, Developers, Think! You explicitly put "morale" as a factor into this game. Didn't it ever occur to you that you have to consider the morale of the Real World player of the game? If all the game ever does is punch you in the face and make you lose, who will want to play?

The exploring is just a bit too tough. The cost in bandages and ammunition is not worth it, ever. There are just not enough antibiotics, weapons or food out there to make any exploring worth the cost. It takes at least four people to kill ONE zombie! WTF is up with that? They're corpses, why are they so tough?

Thank you for your constructive and relevant reply.

I haven`t tried the new version of the game yet. I also liked the slow zombies, that will be a huge pain if they`ve been changed to fast.
