The first State of Decay patch has begun to roll out across the globe. The flawed but ambitious XBLA title will be getting a dozen or so fixes that aim to make the game that much better. Some much needed fixes, such as the Infestation alerts, will be addressed in the patch. Undead Labs also seems to be tweaking the difficulty of the game by removing the instances where playable characters can die because the home base was left in a low standing prior to the game being shut off. This feature is called a simulation, where the game essentially continues while not being played.
Also worth mentioning is Undead Labs’ hopes to bring co-op to the game as soon as possible. The studio will be in talks with Microsoft to work on getting the feature implemented; here’s hoping they can. State of Decay would be a significantly better experience if I had a friend watching my back.
The full list of patch fixes can be found at the source. As of writing this, I currently have access to the patch.
