Survival CrCIA Z is a sandbox freeware action game about roaming a city and killing zombies

When you first start SC:Z your in an old style menu and everything works like in a console. When you make a character you can choose to be SWAT, Neutral, or Rebel, then you would choose male or female, then skin tone. After that you can choose to be 1 of 7 classes example:

Bartender: You are armed with a handcannon (double barrel shogun with fires both barrels) and you have the ability to make molotovs.

Hunter: You have amazing accuracy and range and come armed with a sniper rifle.

Players are given a map of the city they are in when you look at it some buildings will have heads over them meaning that they are safehouses, but there are different types:

Red Flags: Buildings with a red flag means it's occupied by rebels, if you're SWAT avoid these

Blue Flags: Buildings with a blue flag means it's occupied but SWAT, rebels best avoid these.

White flags: These ones are neutral so everyone is safe (maybe) here.

extra: When you see a someone with a bandanna on (it covers the whole top half over their head) it means they're a gypsy and they heal you and your party members for free.

It can sometimes be tough to get cash in SCZ but there are some simple ways:

1. find 2 safe-houses that are close by and trade commodities between them (meaning buy something from one place and sell it at the other)

2. Take over safe-houses although this is tough to do sometimes it can help by: Lowering prices in weapons and commodities, get better weapons for party members, and make it free to rest.

3. Looting, look in unoccupied buildings, you can find backpacks and corpses to loot in there.

Another cool feature of Survival CrCIA Z is that there's an arcade mode. In arcade mode you try as hard as you can to get as many points as possible (getting enough can unlock little cheats) here's how it works:

You spawn in a randomly generated city armed with a handgun which has unlimited ammo. Guns and powerups (get to those in a sec) will randomly spawn near your location, but so will zombies so be careful. Powerups are limited to last a certain amount of time but most of them can be REALLY useful, like the shopping cart, with it you're temporarily invincible and anything you touch dies. There are others like double points, and rapid fire.

hope you enjoy this as much as i did

This game is really fun, although you need to download the dx8vb.dll and dx7vb.dll things to get it to run on Windows 7/Vista.

I thought this was Crysis with a new game mode.

Argh how do you get this working on Windows 7?
downloaded both Dlls and put them in the same folder as the game.
Do I need to put them somewhere in the windows folder?


Figured it out after 30 minutes of being handicapped.

I tried this and downloaded all the stuff needed for it to work but it gets stuck on the opening intro. Any known way to fix this?

So can it be multiplayer?

So can it be multiplayer?
from what i've heard it's been put on xbox live arcade and it's multiplayer there but on pc it's single player

Argh how do you get this working on Windows 7?
Ugh this is starting to piss me off.

People have always wanted multiplayer.

People have always wanted multiplayer.
i think the creator abandoned this because i went to his site and i couldn't find SCZ there...

Ugh this is starting to piss me off.
You cant get it working? Or people asking how to get it working?

You cant get it working? Or people asking how to get it working?

I can't get it working, even after uninstalling the game, installing the latest version of DirectX, restarting my computer, and reinstalling the game, which should have fixed the Dx8vb.dll is missing error, it still won't work.

this is why i use Windows XP...
