First thing I checked, thanks for the reply

You could post a log file and see if someone here can spot the problem.

This is where the game is failing to load up your profile

1. 2021-12-22T22:22:28 303.048 ERR Loading player data failed for player 'EOS_0002dea6c5214b93afa2354af5aff365', rolling back: Attempted to read past the end of the stream.

I tried to recreate it on my computer (using the same map as you) but everything loads up fine.  Can you go in your Saves folder and look in the players.xml file (Drive/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/7DaysToDie/Saves/Nazegame/Stable)?

Does it look like this (this is the game I just started)?  Also, have you started a new game and the issue still exists (not continue on with an existing game)?   Your issue might be a corrupted save file.  And if so, the next question is does it occur every time you start up a new game.

Log file

This line from your log could show a problem

GamePref.PlayerName = Lord_Bucket_Head

In previous builds there have been reports that non ascii characters in a name will screw up a game or server. You could test that hypothesis with a short/simple name like "Mike" for example.

Thank you for taking your time to check this for me. As below I removed certain characters from my steam name and it's working a charm. This has been a massive headache, taken well over a week to sort out. Thank you very much.

You're an absolute saint, it worked a treat. It's taken me well over a week to sort this... For me you are the patron saint of 7D2D. I really appreciate you taking your time to look at my problem. I'm up and running, I'm happy and more importantly I get to experience alpha 20 now. Legend!
