7 days x/s won't start up

[Bryan OD]

Hi everyone,  let me start by saying 7 days is literally like the only game I play on my console.  With that being said, since this past Sunday I cannot get 7 days to launch. When I open it it gives me the screen with the cabin and the 4 survivors then goes to a black scree. I've unistalled/reinstalled 4 times, deleted saves, unplugged my Xbox and went offline and did all that and still nothing.  Please help!!

At the moment there is no way to get any serious debug information out of 7days on console, specifically there is no way to get a logfile and post it here. Which makes debugging almost impossible.

I heard something about a "report bug" button on console that is in the works or maybe already in the game. If the latter, use that button. If not, make a bug report here in the forum, see above the link in red (ignore the part where it says to post a logfile, you can't). A bug report means that internal testers from TFP will look at your case. If they don't have an immediate idea what it could be it could take some time (aka weeks) until there is a solution.

One idea: In some cases the source of problems had been the router. Did anything change with yours, did it get an update or did you change any configuration?  Simply rebooting it might also be an idea.

Another solution is often to do a hard restart.  The standby mode of the console is crap, and it doesn't release data from RAM properly. You need to fully power the device off for a few minutes to clear it.

One trick that's always worked for me was an 18 lb. sledge hammer

Smacking my NES worked not sure my Xbox could take it, now it's just restarting clearing caches joining host and shooting around them, smashing bags, archiving de archiving and cursing.
