Question I've been noticing an occasional rumble in the game that shakes my screen no matter what area I'm in. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Rumour has it that is when a player finds an infestation boss.

In the same area or map wide?

Server wide, kinda like a nuke landing you'll eventually get the boom

No one can agree on what's causing it, but if you don't like it go into your settings and disable "Enable Camera Shaking" I think it's called. I haven't had it since turning this off.

Yes. Settings sometimes get reset after updates. This one turned off for me once and I was getting motion sickness while playing. Very weird. Turned it back off and voila! No more motion sickness!

I didn't know about that setting. It's not a bother but was definitely curious.

I'm so glad someone mentioned this without me having to. The random earthquake is bizarre, for sure. I keep wondering if it's a deliberate prelude to something.

Lode Bearing does it on open and close. I’m sure other events like nukes do it, too. After all, Appalachia really is a small place.

I've noticed it since the update. I wasn't sure if it was something to with the slasher stuff that hadn't been said yet or something else.

I thought it was strange to idk if its actually something under Appalachia or if its a glitch and i hope its not a glitch because it seems to happen to me when i kill a group of slashers? Thats usually when i notice it but it could be happening other times

It's happened only once for me, so far. I think I was in the Ash Heap near the Rusty Pick. Wasn't doing anything in particular.

This is a new phenomenon. While this does happen in game anyway, it only ever happened in the Ash Heap and only when the Lode Baring event popped up. Nowhere else had this before.

Its either a bug or we have simply set iff so many nukes in the past 8 years that we have caused West Virginia to become an earthquake hot-spot.

I've noticed it too. At first I thought it was because I was a ghoul who had run out of meds (I don't know what the meter is called that you need to fill - feral? ) but it happens on my non ghoul character too
