This had more to do with the build version of Unreal Engine, I think 4.25+, than a DX11/12 issue, where the API is no longer supported by Win7. I think it might've been v14 of Delta Zone where Win7 stopped working in that regards.

You better get used to that for a while. The dev said he isn't updating NSFW content until he releases the game on steam. We're talking about a year from now maybe, if not a little longer.
The AI movement in this game is very weird and sporadic, they kind of zig-zag all over the place lol. Your post is a handy insight into how the game plays when not in hyper-defensive mode, which is how I approached it. I actually got shot within the first 10 seconds of play.. Right out of the gate I wanted to test the submission mechanic, I saw a scav and hit surrender, we got stuck in a dialogue loop and then he exited dialogue, shot me once then reinitiated which fixed the loop.
Biggest problem for me is figuring out who is out to get me. So far it seems like the guys who have growths all over them are the bad guys, but then other people try to rob me.. Made a bad name for myself in the scav community from shooting first and then not asking questions later. Also iced a corporate guy out of self-preservation.. he had a nice weapon that appears to be locked.
The game became a lot more enjoyable the moment I figured out how to craft a weapon. I started just under permadeath with bad loadout, which is just my shtick when it comes to games. Had a rough time until crafting my first weapon. I think the level design is complete ass, but I fell in love with weapon customization. He/they/them did an amazing job with that.
Apparently I got impregnated by a ground worm thing, though my hud only tells me that I am 85% infested with worms. Have been carting these worms around for a week now. Can barely hear anything over the wriggling sound in my belly :S

It's not as random as you may think. The AI works in a defined path, usually to the nearest other enemy or piece of cover. If you're being shot at while surrendering it's because the AI thinks of you as a hostile force, thus neutralizing you before engaging.
Anyone from a faction that's below 0.5 is usually an avoid for me. Below 0 and it's either kill or be killed. Also in the new Forest map you can get Corpo guns unlocked now.
I've ran so many zero item perma runs to know that the best way to get up in the pecking order is to speedrun side tasks and use the Electric Impulse cyberware. It's usually only 200 Euros or so compared to a shitty scrap gun at 600+ when starting out.
Go to a Med Station to get them removed. Also tentacles.

It's been 3 months since the last update... Dev used to update every 2 months.

i also did the whoring out to high rep, you can pretty much cheese the game as no human enemies will attack you (unless you shoot them first). i liked how you could use their clothes to pretend to be a part of the faction, but just whoring out makes it unnecessary. i do wish the dev would nerf it out, maybe take away the rep gain from whoring and only leave in the disguise system. will make it more viable
Appreciate the rundown of things. I've still yet to wrap my head around AI behaviour. If you camp in a bush and observe they will deviate from patrolling to sprinting off randomly. Sometimes they engage you first and will simply bugger off without any follow-through. What intrigues me more is their combat routine, which seems fairly nuanced. I actually like that they are speedy and weird with their movements. I also like the feign death or recovery mechanic.
Ahh, that's some good info. I think I must be around -80 scav rep. At that level I only see rep drops on probably 1/10 engagements with them. I'd say I'm not far off being a kill-on-sight prospect for them.
About the Permadeath mode. Is it possible to backup your existing game so you can make a new campaign? I wouldn't mind starting an Ironman run, but don't want to lose my current save. I feel like ironman wouldn't be that hard seeing as I have yet to die since equipping my first weapon.
I have yet to look, but I would like to configure it so that there is no auto-surrender function on the enemy side. I feel that robs the game of any true adversity. Times when I rightly should have died, I was shot to pieces but ultimately saved by submission/theft interactions.
Omg, Med station. It makes perfect sense lol. Much appreciated!
Oow, I think I found the save directory. For me it is located at: C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\DeltaZone
Oh lord, so that's what it is. Initially I thought the fps drop was a result of different weather patterns and or lighting/particle effect changes.
I too drop a lot of frames if playing for longer than 1 hour. 110 down to 60 lol. Definitely weird having such a bad leak on such a modern engine.
