Console [06/06] Message from the Team

That's just the thing though. The issue isn't with how the client saves the data. The issue is with how Microsoft's custom OS on the XBox saves the data. Better optimization should bring an improvement/reduction in the amount of data that needs to be processed and saved, which will help to alleviate the issue. The core of the problem though lies in the OS, which is something the dev team will have a problem working around.

Keep in mind also that they aren't writing one client. They have to write two. One for Sony, and one for Microsoft. It's kinda like writing one for Windows ME, and one for Linux.

Me too but hate to see people having issues and such. So it doesn't hurt to try and find out more info or suggestions that might could help. The worse thing that you get out of it is sorry that will not work.

I am too but the last thing we need is words like those. A non-mainstream, non-AAA title like 7DTD only grows by being supported massively by enough players so it would be the worst idea to leave a platform behind. Although I play the game on PS4, the more support the game gets on all available platforms the better it is. So I really hope the MD5 issue on XB1 will be solved very soon. Otherwise (along being happy about not playing on XB1) new customers will choose the PS4 version instead of XB1 version what could lead to a disbalance in supporting both platforms, furthermore it gets minor priority.

 
Ok on a little more serious note. Clare would you mind letting the team know while they are working on the update to change the % of the water on the map since we can't do like PC and go change it ourselves. I don't think anyone would complain any if that got tweaked a little. I'm not saying change it a massive amount but just enough to where it doesn't seem like most seeds are nothing but oceans lol. Just a suggestion 😁

I support this suggestion for changing water percentages. Since living near such places are a flippin' nightmare when air drops fall into deep water, it wastes air drops. Either that or allow for the crafting oxygen tanks or a rebreather or something. That's not even getting into the long travel times they create and how you can apparently freeze to death even while wearing +40 temperature clothing.

Also, it would be nice if they would fix the issue with newly planted goldenrod having little flecks of gold floating around it like little fire flies or something. It's as if someone tried to reduce the size of the full size plant by simply shrinking the fully matured plant in an image editing program like GIMP or Photoshop and missed a few of the outer edge sections when the reduced it.

I shall add it to my suggestion list for the team and see if the generator can be tweaked at all to reduce the amount of water-world style maps. No harm in asking ^_^

Thanks, you are awesome as always and yes no harm at all in asking especially something that is doable. If nothing else they say no and we just live with it lol.

I wasn't even thinking about this but good point lol. I was just thinking in general because console is a smaller map and all that water is pretty much useless and a big pain in general. On PC it is still a pain to get around but so much more space for land as well. Although I have put in a few PC seeds that been mostly water lol. But again this where I can go in the files and change some stuff around and make that seed have less water and such where as in console we don't get that option.

Good idea on the water percentage, ive never really thought about that.

Of course i can see people reading this and saying "no, instead we need a wasteland percentage measure".

Remember the numerous posts regarding wastleland, dogs, & landmines....??!!

But yes, good idea. I think ive only had an over abundance of water on one seed, maybe two, to where it was a pain as MJS stated.

The more customization, the better in my opinion!

 
I bought this game years ago from game stop and it was marketed as a full game. I'm happy to hear there is an update but it BETTER fix the crash problem. I've felt for years I wasted my money and told everyone who came in to buy the game on console about the glitch that deleted all your stuff. And I'm happy to say I've deterred a good deal. What some people here don't understand is that when you buy a game at the store and it's marketed as a full game you expect to be able to at least to the bare bones stuff. How do you survive if your base and supplies keep disappearing. That's a game that should have never made it to the shelf. I loved the concept of the game and the building but what's the point when it crashes all the time. When will this update arrive?

True but with that said all that stuff was intended. Not so sure water was intended to be so massive and it might not really be so massive it is just that they had to shrink the map size vs PC map size so it just ends up being so much on a smaller map. One thing for sure on console is you never have to worry about going thirsty as of now. Also it might not add a bunch but all the water that could be more land could generate another town or two. It may or may not change but it definitely worth asking lol.

Oh man, this is getting so old. The only ones who seem to be experiencing base resets are XBOX players. While I sympathize with the plight of XBOX players, the primary cause of the MD5 errors has been explained over and over, ad infinitum. It's an error caused by how the XBOX handles saving data. It's a hardware issue with the system itself, not a software issue. Not much the console team can do unless MICROSOFT changes how their system saves the data.

Seriously, how is this not sinking in at this point? Maybe we'll get lucky and the engine update will have a work around, but I have a feeling if that were possible it would have already happened.

And if you're telling PS4 owners about the base reset "glitch" to discourage them, then you're lying to them. It's an XBOX only issue.

 
While I can't comment on what causes MD5 errors as I don't have those details, I'm afraid to say though they are very rare, MD5 errors can happen on PS4 and have been reported since the last patch, though the trigger is possibly a different one.

Clare how long have you been a manager for these forums and do you like it?

I've been the Console Community Manager since the Console launch in June 2016 and I very much enjoy being the CM :)

 
Can confirm. I have had the crash once on my PS4. I know it was my own damn fault too though, as I was trying to stress the system as much as possible.

 
Hi survivors, already very happy to see this forum resume thread and I take this opportunity to make my suggestions:

- to be able to turn the blocks in all the directions (some are blocking what makes certain construction impossible and its frustrates me a lot personally)

- obviously painting, new zeds and new POIs would be so awesome.

- ability to write in spliscreen.

- jumped being very close to a bloc (if I'm too close to a block my character makes a small jump which can be very embarrassing when dogs want to eat my ass).

otherwise I ask myself 2 questions, why there are never any lumberjacks during the night hordes?

Is it possible to find all the buildings of navezgane on a random gen map? not necessarily on a single map, but after a dozen map and hundreds hours I have never had a cave with the doors, the lumberjack camp, the docks, and ever more.

Sorry for my mistakes or wrong sentences , I read regularly this forum (PC and consoles) but speaking poor English has hard to understand fully and reply correctly like you can see.

To all those who make this beautiful game possible and all these FREE updates as well as all moderators to give us as much information as possible THANK YOU

for all the others,we are late and we know that, so just stop watch/read what happens on PC you hurt yourself for nothing is not realy the "same" game . Personally i will stop watching videos of the alpha 17 as it will come out

can't wait to have at list the patch note :D

Well said at the end there & welcome man. Good question with the lumberjacks!!! Ive never really noticed but you're right, they're the only zombie that doesnt appear on horde nights.....wonder if your base is in the snow biome, they show up?

I know the football stadium is only in navezgane as well and im pretty sure the canyon shop & underground mines dont spawn in random gen either. Also not sure about the red mesa silo.

Hopefully the new updates can change this too.

 
Why is it taking so long for the update we are better than half way through the year already we are greatful you are working on it vary exsided for the update how long after pcs update till we get are I'm hoping that we will be caught with pc by this up coming year thanks for you guys I love this game so dose many other people I can't wait hoping it will be out less than a month maybe a month and 2 weeks from now keep up the good work Clare and all ur workers hope to be hearing from you soon
