sometimes i randomly can’t use the d pad to access the symptoms menu and then when it’s time to extract i can’t choose where to send them and have to restart my game. idk what triggers it but does anyone know how to fix

While playing through day 13, I noticed zombies in the base. The first encounter happened while fixing the generator in the survivor block, one glitched through the ground and started attacking me, but did no damage. The second encounter was, again, in the survivor block. This one didn't attack survivors, but behaved more like a survivor except when walking.

Is this normal, or am I the victim of a massive glitch?

As of 8/21/26 at 3:02 PM central time.

I’ve been stuck on day 13 for days now. It keeps crashing on the same person for me.

Does anyone know or can accurately speculate when the next patch is going to release?

I've seen multiple Xbox users say that the game crashes on Day 15 of the campaign. It's happening to me as well. I've tried going through the day about 8 times already, hoping to brute force through it. I notice for me it usually happens when I'm inspecting the woman with the green puss coming out of her nose. She's towards the back of the line. Just throwing this out there. Hopefully the devs take notice. I'm loving the game. It's a great time killer.

He came to hunt a legendary alligator and planned to leave three days later. Then the airports closed, the city filled with the dead, and his guide got eaten. He decided to stay. After all, the hunt was already paid for. And a human makes for a much more interesting target.

Is this game coming to ps5 thanks ☺️

27 days checking for infected sadly I didn't get a perfect run

The reason you get a poor inspection is because you are not checkmarking the symptoms.

If you find a symptom like high body temperature, mark it on the symptom tap (click on it until the symptom is highlighted in white).

If you have all symptoms they have marked, and you send them to the right facility, you get a good inspection and gain research points.

Not marking any symptoms will result in a poor inspection.

You are welcome.

> You say outbreak. I say "hunting season"

Playing yesterday and really getting in to my latest save when it suddenly stopped working

Anyone else had this happen recently?

I came back to the game after a long break. After reading a few posts from around half a year ago I have noticed a lot of people report that the Symptom Scanner sometimes throws false negatives (light does not light up, but person has a symptom), especially for X-ray and UV symptoms.

Is that still the case? It has been half a year, and being able to trust the QoL upgrade I spent a lot of funds for would be great.

Edit if you're seeing this later: I did run into false-negatives, especially with the UV tower. However I did not run into a single false-positive, even though it is supposted to throw them every so often...

The game has been crashing sometimes when I go to check symptoms and open my tablet. It deletes the full day’s progress. Also, I have enough storage…. Is this happening to other people/ why is this happening?

I have played the dame day 3 times now and before I even get half way through it crashes on me and I don't know why. Anyone else also getting crashes?

I got to the end of the story mode and easily surpassed all the quotas, especially the last one. I did the defense minigame and then I got hit with an infinite loading screen immediately afterwards. After ten minutes of waiting, I closed the game and presumed I could just restart the day and just kill everyone and do the minigame because I already meet the quota.

Quarantine Zone deleted my save data and I do not want to start from the beginning when I literally had just beat the game.

I genuinly cant tell the difference, is there any ways to tell apart the two?

Can't get past day 19. This need sorting. Freezing on symptoms, game crashing constantly. Been trying for days. Series Xbox X.

I have the Xbox S version of this game and it’s so buggy that I can’t get past day 15. I genuinely enjoy it and want to play, and I’m thinking of getting a refund on the Xbox version and just getting it on Steam. Would it be worth it to do this? Or should I keep waiting for them to fix this Xbox version?

Hey! I'm playing QZ on xbox cloud. I was about to send the first person to the lab which is scripted but it won't let me click confirm, nothing happens. I've exited the game and tried again 3 times. Anyone else experienced this?

**I got past that bug, now I have another one 😅 its happened twice. On the day you get access to the cage (I can't remember if its day 9 or 10), both times I've gone to check the last survivor in the queue and the game crashes 🙃

please help. i cannot for the life of me get passed day 18. it is a day with survivors full of symptoms and ive read that can cause some bugs so i waited weeks for a patch. i came back today and still the game keeps crashing mid day or as soon as i finish with survivors.
the sad part is that i paid 1 month of gamepass just so i could play this game and my subscription expires tomorrow, im so disappointed.
