Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

Seeing that Anna has her old steel walls (discounting the missing workbench) makes me think it's an older version of Anna in DF.  That could be caused by not doing a fresh install, I know people are constantly saying that, but it is an issue. There is a way to fix your save, but first, back it up. Now. go into the game, turn on debug mode and find out which is chunk where anna is. Press f1, type dm, press f1 (to close the console) again, press f3, open the map (to get a mouse pointer) then toggle CH. Toggling CH will display what chunk you are inside (example Region: r.3.2). Go to your save game delete that region. It's in a directory called regions in the save/world area, I'm doing this from memory. Then go into your df mod folder, find the anna poi file, delete them and replace it with the files from the most recent version. When you enter the game Anna should be reset. Also, before doing any of that I again say back up your save.
Thanks for all the help everyone. Seems like something was pretty wrong so rather than try to fix each thing, I am just going to start again. Deleted the entire 7 Days folder, downloaded the game fresh from Steam and "Drag and Drop" the Mod into the 7 Days folder manually. I will Cheat Mode at start to confirm the Razor POI. 

 
Are there additional zombie settings in the server client besides the config.xml?

The game client has options for wandering horde settings that I cannot find in the dedicated server files. Home server not a rented server.
Wandering horde settings are in the regular game settings, last tab on top. 

 
Also I want to apologise for not being around much.

Nov/Dec is ALWAYS super busy for me. Friends birthday, Wife's birthday, another friends birthday, my birthday, christmas, new year... in that order. Plus this is when the rescue we help at starts getting busy and scheduling gets rough due to people wanting time with family, so me and the wife help out more. :)

You’ve made a great mod for a game we all love. No apologies required I and nobody reasonable expects supporting this mod be a full time job or interfere with your real world life or family.

thank you for being around.

 
1.  why you want a gaming laptop ? For the same price mosttime you would get a better desktop system.

2.  (i5-11260h 8Gb) would that mean just 8 Gb RAM ? That isn't enough, you should have at last 16 Gb or better 32 Gb RAM

3. RTX 3050 is much worse then a 2060 and cost more, try to search for videocard ranking, then compare the prize for a single card.

 
@KhaineGB Bro, please help me out. Pls check this image and let me know, if we increase the system RAM, will this be enough to get a better performance?

Says it has 2 RAM slots so it should be able to take up to 64GB.

However, I can't tell you if it will/wont increase your performance without knowing what I'm comparing to.

I mean, I dev on a laptop and do all my youtube stuff on a laptop, and i'll be looking at getting a new one next year. It uses WAY less power than my desktop, which is pretty important atm.

 
People older than 14 years shouldn't call other people "Bro". 😁

Try an actual i7, 32 GB, GeForce 2080 RTX, Watercooling (at least my fans drive like crazy) - this works well at least for me. And prefer a desktop (if energy doesn't matter, as Khaine explained).

 
Desktop don't allways need to use more power then a laptop.

Serveral gaming laptops use similar power like a desktop system, it allways depend what components are used and what performace you want to reach.

When you search for passive or silent systems you will find mosttime powerefficient systems.

I don't want say what you should use.

But you should have at last 16GB better 32GB or more RAM.

512 GB SSD sound much at first, but games get bigger and bigger even 7d2d need 15GB+ installation.

Some gaming websites got a hardware part too, and some even offer some own complete systems and let them sell over big companies like Alternate.

Check of these compare with Dell too.

Finding a good system for your cash budget isn't an easy task anymore ! 😞

 
Agreed. One more thing, if I connect to a server lets say someone is hosting a DF server or for some other mod, do I need a strong client to play ?

😀

Thanks. One last thing, do I need to have a better graphics card in this case ? Sorry to bother you but I have never done this before. 

 
You allways can lower the quality of the video settings, first turn off shadows, texture quality, particle, Distanceview.

There is even a mod that can increase the performace at cities because it change the windows.

When you lowered most of them allready and still got bad fps, then you might should think about a different screen resolution (from 4k to 2k, depend on your monitor).

Or geting a better videocard, look for videocard rankings, search for your current card and then look what is better that can fit your budget.

When you join a server, you have mosttimes lower RAM need then when you play singleplayer, because at MP the server runs the map.
