It's a teachable moment for everyone involved. TFP should be more careful when giving builds out and JaWoodle should maybe question what he posts a little bit more. Either way we can ponder about what may have been said that's not public all day long, but at the end of it it's between the devs...
I sent the player here from because I believed it was a bug, but I never knew PS5 couldn't integrate their real accounts. This will be good to know when someone brings it up in the Discord :)
The reason we have to begin a new save after every major (and sometimes minor) update is because of the changes made making each one incompatible with each other. TFP have tried to prevent this, but it's quite difficult because code is code and nothing can be guaranteed to work nicely. However...
If you've done the above, then it's possible there is a regional block where you are. It happens occasionally. Here's a few more steps you can take in the meantime:
If you're using a VPN, disable it.
Clean your game data by launching the game through Steam > Select show launcher > Tools tab >...
I don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to using controllers for this game, but if you right click 7 Days in Steam > Properties > Controller and enable Steam Input it might fix your problem.
I don’t think it was ever a secret to anyone that TFP are working on bandits. Seeing them fully fleshed out did not come as a surprise to me even if they did look like a mix of a Neanderthal and my grandmother.
No less it’s always nice to prove the doubters wrong :D
It appears that you are incredibly defensive over your viewpoint as I did not feel the need to insult you to get my point across. You can play however you want, but don’t try to demean me just because you disagree.
I try not to take the game too seriously. When you start seeking out answers to everything or comparing it to reality it dampens the fun.
On another note, story mode should clean up the lore side of things at least :)
