Is that why sometimes I enter a completely empty clearing only to turn around and have 15 dogs that weren’t anywhere to be seen suddenly biting my ass? Because A-Life is busted?
That’s correct. The online spawner is bugged and this also affects offline A-life behavior.
Online spawner?
It’s not online/offline like the internet, it’s just referring to how the AI is doing open world stuff. A-life has two modes. Online which is a bubble around you where enemies are rendered with models and doing things in the world, and offline where they’re basically just numbers on a spreadsheet. They have simulated activity offline, like walking around, looting things, sleeping, etc. but aren’t actually spawned into the world until your online “bubble” is nearby.
okay, that makes sense. The online/offline terminology was just confusing.
