    Yeh the update was early this morning (before work :)), pretty sure it fixed the infection issue, I was able to test walking around town today.

    I got that guy in Kingswood so I would say it is fixed too! The guy in walkinstown is just out of reach though :( I need to level up again.

    Loving the game here in Perth, Western Australia (overrun by the undead)

    GAME SUGGESTION

    I think that some degree of Zombie/Human in-fighting should be allowed.

    Not leveling up, but maybe stealing proximity metres or freeze time from each other. Hit a level 4 Zombie and you get 10 metres of their proximity added to yours (they lose 10).

    You can only hit the same Zombie once in a 24 hour period.

    The apocalypse analogue would be 'Alpha' Zombies get their 'reputation' damaged by a lower level Zombie slapping them.

    Hitting a level 1 Zombie (1 metre steal) etc.

    Would encourage more movement and 'hunts' in human / zombie infested locations.

    Just a thought.

    Its still pretty boring for those of us in isolation

    After the scan, about five seconds pass, then it returns a message saying 'Error! Unable to get your location'.

    I'm using a 2.2 Incredible S.

    You using the latest version? Are you using GPS? GPS can take a long time to get a fix, especially if you are not outside .. the app waits for ~20 seconds before giving up, I can increase this for the next version, but it should take that long. Can you get a fix using google maps?

    Same here.
    HTC Desire, CyanogenMod7 (stable)

    Maps works perfect. GPS icon appears if I go back to my home screen. I still cant get onto the map in Outbreak.

    Do you guys have mock locations turned off? Some of the baked roms leave that turned on in the settings.

    Sure the game wont let u load it up at all if mock locations are on. Figured out that the hard way when it start giving me a message in the last version. Took me ages to find it. Had to eventually google how to turn mock locations off!

    yep, although I thought perhaps that the check might fail with certain roms etc. Haven't had any of these issues myself on gingerbread / nexus s and cyanogen 7 final / desire z. The lowly europa on eclair works surprisingly well too!

    Did you try using network location? Does google maps pick up your location?

    Mostly no issues. It had real difficulty with my GPS on my HTC Evo Sense when I first turned it on. After an hour it worked fine. Sometimes the map stops updating my location so I must roll back and re-thumb in.

    Turned 3 zombies in Tampa near Busch Gardens...Me and the kids enjoyed the brains. Need more brains in Tampa...


    Is there a game reset? Am I a zombie forever with a dwindling supply of food?

    Open Settings>Location...

    From there you should have opens for GPS and network locations

    it seems i can only play outside. picks up a location instantly.
    if i play inside it just sits on waiting for location.

    have network and gps locations both enabled

    When you have both enabled, the app will pick GPS automatically as it is more accurate. GPS will only work (generally) when you are outdoors because it needs a clear view of the sky.

    I haven't changed anything and it worked before.
    Can you make it try network if gps unavailable like most other apps seem to do?

    Cool game :D Although I'm now a little afraid to leave my fortified house at night...

    The inevitable outcome of the zombie apocalypse has been concerning me...eventually, even with new players joining, there will be too many zombies for game-play to be worth continuing. What about some kind of campaign system? Getting flipped back and forth from survivor to zombie seems counter-intuitive...
