Possible Archetype error?

Hi all,

Love the game, but can't play it. When I do a fresh install and try to create a new game, I get prompted to create a character or pick one from the pre-made list. Either choice I choose, it throws a lot of errors at me as soon as I hit create.

Troubleshooting steps taken so far:

- Reinstalled the game

- Deleted saves from appdata\roaming\7DaysToDie\

- I originally thought it might be graphics based, so I switched video cards and drivers

- Added steam folder and appdata\roaming folder to antivirus exclusion

I originally also noticed a message about not being able to load the profiles.sdf file, but since I've allowed that folder in the antivirus, I haven't noticed it again. I reinstalled after allowing it.

The rest of this post is just a log of a freshly installed game booting up, then me trying to create a new game, and the logs showing the errors as soon as I try to create the new character.

......    and this just repeats over and over until I kill the game.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
 

 
Just a quick update..

I was able to get through that error by deleting the files using the launcher instead of just going through windows explorer. When I try to connect to my server, I get another error message. Does anyone recognize what this could be? It always happens right after I click OK on the MOTD and it goes to "creating player".

Your player data may be corrupted. I'd try deleting your player files on the server. You will start over level 1 but you can use the giveselfxp command to get your levels back and creative menu to get your inventory back.

 
I am also having this exact problem.  As soon as I try to make either a new player profile from the options menu or through creating a new game, I get infinite repeating errors of: EXC object reference not set to an instance of an object

I've done fresh installs and cleaned all game and player data using the launcher.

We would need to see your log to see what precedes those errors. Copy your entire log and go to pastebin.com, paste the log there then post the created link here so someone can look at it.

 
I'm also experiencing this bug...

At first I tried to join my friend's server and we followed all the fixes we could find online, then once I had cleared my Saves and SavesLocal folders I went into the options to create my new player profile, and the rest is pretty much history. Almost exactly the same error log aswell...

Your error is a bit different. Your error is with archetypes…..hair color, hair style, etc. Two fixes that I would try…first verify integrity of game files and run that twice. Secondly, bring up the game launcher, select tools tab and click on cleaning. Check the boxes for game settings and player profile then click clean. See if that solves your problem. If not, post a copy of the newest log so we can see if there are any changes.

A full clean from the launcher seemed to have done the trick! Afterward I ran into a few other problems but I managed to fix them all thanks to the older forum posts.

I wasn't expecting a reply so soon so I do have to say thanks!
