The major beta update features new animations, models, weapons, sound and particle effects, and much more! Including the long-awaited Linux client support. We're enthusiastic to hold one of the first ever open betas for Zombie Panic Source! This gives players an opportunity to test, provide feedback, and aid in reporting bugs for new content before it officially releases.

Today, we're very proud to release the 3.1 update for public playtesting! The latest changes are all available in our unstable beta branch. You can find out how to opt in to the beta on this thread.

We've created a new sub-forum in our Steam Discussions for reporting bugs and providing feedback during the public playtesting period. All of 3.1's issues, crashes, suggestions, and ideas should be directed to that specific sub-forum only. Please keep everything 3.1-related in that forum for better documentation and organization.

The following major changes are:

Linux Client support working for Ubuntu and SteamOS versions.

IMPORTANT: to have the new sounds work properly, you will need to remove your sound cache in your vpks. Delete the "zps_sounds.vpk.sound.cache" file located inside your vpks folder inside your Zombie Panic! Source directory.
