There are a few big(ish) changes in here, but the really important one is that we are now compatible with 7 Days v1.2 b27+ ! This means you can play with the latest version of the game--no downgrade required.
IMPORTANT: Due to the large changes in the new version of 7 Days to Die, 7DVR 3.1 is only compatible with 7D 1.2. 7DVR 3.1 unfortunately will not work with 7D 1.1 or lower.
Here is what changed since 7DVR 3.0
- 7 Days 1.2 Compatibility!! Experience the latest hard work of The Fun Pimps. Among other things, TFP has added new optimizations, character models, lighting changes, and more. Speaking of lighting, the game is bright now--maybe too bright for some of us. The great DragonzHeartz found that changing "Brightness" to 25% (under Video Setting) seems to be a good new balance. This actually doesn't seem to lower brightness during the daytime, but it makes nights more...errrr...night-like! Overall, 1.2 seems to look great so far!
- Afterlife Compatibility!! Afterlife is one of the newest and most-impressive complete overhauls to 7D. Definitely check it out if you haven't heard of it! But...there's a catch. We had what seemed like near perfect compatibility with Afterlife ready to go with 7D 1.1. BUT, Afterlife is not yet compatible with 7D 1.2. So for now, be excited that we should support Afterlife once they update for 1.2! We'll test as soon as it is released, of course, to be sure. Check it out in the Afterlife Discord!
- Dynamic Object Quality v3.0: We've done a bit of tinkering to improve Dynamic Object Quality (DOQ). For those unfamiliar, this is the system we created that dynamically balances the distance/quality at which objects are drawn to balance farthest view distance and best performance. It allows FAR greater view distance than normally is possible in 7D, and the system works for flatscreen players that have 7DVR installed also! The new version of DOQ increases the lowest level of draw distance so that you (hopefully) don't experience things popping in just a few meters in front of you (cars, shopping carts, corn, etc.). Draw distance still does go super low if performance gets extremely bad, but it recovers very quickly (in about 5 seconds) to a good, playable level once performance recovers.
- Darkness Falls Compatibility!! Darkness Falls is one of the greatest and best-known overhauls for 7 Days to Die. Early versions for 7D 1.0+ have been released, and we are fully compatible! You can download and play now by visiting the Darkness Falls Discord!
- Fixed and improved "No Body" mode! For those that enjoy that classic Bethesda experience, you can enjoy playing with only your hands visible. This now works well with the new character models of 7D 1.0+. Hands now show the correct models and hold items properly!
- Fixed bug where Main Menu scene could show up in game world if Cuddly Companion Cube (CCC) is turned off. Beware, though, the CCC doesn't like being turned off and will silently judge you harshly if you turn him off.
- Added compatibility for Quartz mod (required by many other mods).
- Bunches of other little miscellaneous bug fixes/improvements.
Incredibly BIG thanks to our Patrons, supporters, Testers, Flat2VR, and to all of you--our amazing 7DVR Family!!! Thanks also to the Afterlife community for helping us with compatibility!
AND GIANT THANKS to DragonzHeartz for not only testing but also painstakingly calibrating ALL of the hundreds of items for Afterlife, Darkness Falls, and Vanilla!!! You're incredible!!!
