Zombie Aggro Range When Player is Prone
New, WishlistPublic

Description

This bug essentially boils down to the player's aggro radius for zombies being massively higher when prone while moving, as opposed to when crouched while moving. I have had zombies from ~200 yards away run towards me when I swap to prone from crouch, even when I'm inside a house.

I can confirm this problem, zombies seem to suddenly notice you when you go prone. For me it happened when I tried to hide myself behind a rock after spotting a player. 3 zombies showed up walked right past the other player straight for me.

I've noticed zombie agro to be generally messed up. Sometimes I will run through multiple buildings and break the line of sight many times and create a huge amount of distance, yet the zombies still follow. Sometimes they stop for a moment, but even if you are on the other side of a large field they still chase you.
