7days crashing quite often. Please help.

Mostly the things I listed already. Security software, RAM issue, HDD issue, permissions issue. Stuff like that.  Could just be some other software getting in the way too. Like how Citrix Workstation will randomly kill the client because of how it handles GPU data. Or how nearly every experimental has an issue with the overlay from MSI Afterburner.

These things are harder to track down, but usually can be discovered eventually.

Seconds into loading into the game it just crashed! https://pastebin.com/aJK6gGtP

A security software like Kaspersky has two parts, one part is running like any normal program on your PC, a second part is injected deep into the bowels of your operating system. If you prevent the normal program from running you have just disabled the user interface, the serious heavy lifting should still be working as (un)intended.

Without an official uninstall utility from Kaspersky you won't get rid of the software (and more paranoid people might even believe not even that will get rid of it 😁 )

Not saying that is the cause, but like SylenThunder said, anti-virus software HAS to be resilient against removing it.

 
Ok, fresh new install of windows, updated fully, all drivers downloaded and updated. All I got on here right now is steam, discord, battle.net, star trek online, outriders, and 7d2d.  jumped into game, started mining and crashed to desktop, no error, no popup, nothing. Here is a pastebin for that. https://pastebin.com/gkKX2bT4

 
So forcing Direct x 10 seems to have solved my problems. It seems to be running stable now for over an hour. 

Spoke too soon, the game just crashed again

When you took all of these steps, did you also exclude the client from Windows Defender?

 
Needed to run 7DaysToDie_EAC.exe and as admin. Everything works fine now. Played for 4 hours with no crashes. I'll see how it goes tomorrow. Also ram was tested less than a week ago, no errors. 

 
Well it worked perfectly for days and now its doing it again so I'm not sure what the hell is going on. same error in the event viewer. 

Fresh new install of windows, 7days, drivers, ect. Even tried reverting back to previous drivers all the way back to nov of last year when i never had any problems. 

 
Knowing your running processes may be useful. Open up the command prompt and enter tasklist > processes.txt (that will put it in the current working directory shown). I'm not an engineer, but one of your stack traces was talking a lot about memory after a block_remove call, so I highly suspect it's a memory or some permission issue (could be a conflicting program).

Dev's need to fix the game, they seriously broke something. A friend of mine is having the same issues now. Never had these issues with 19.3

 
Like others have mentioned... test your ram using the free software called memtest86. It's a process of elimination and you need to eliminate more variables.

And for the record, most of us have no issues at all with the game aside from the game being a pig on resources. I can personally count the total number of crashes I've had since Alpha 1 on one hand, including running a dedicated server. The game is pretty stable if your hardware is able to handle it and you don't have software / driver issues.

 
A Speccy report taken at the time of the issue may help out as well.  Instructions on how to link a published report are in the Pinned topic on how to report an issue.

You're having a hardware/driver/conflict issue, so, no.

Another player recently had the same event viewer messages as you and after a lot of troubleshooting discovered

the isssue was that a power cable to the motherboard was missing. There was another instance where turning off XMP

in the bios solved the problem. Another time, uninstalling Citrix was thefix.  You need to sytematically go through your

system to figure out the the problem.

As i've said before, I've tested the ram already. There is nothing wrong with it. It's been tested 3 times now. People can stop asking about the ram already.

i shut that windows defender and firewall garbage off

I don't personally think it has anything to do with it, 'cause I run Defender and Firewall and Malwarebytes and 7D2D works fine, but...

Here is a thought.
 

maybe try not messing with windows so much on installs.

even on 10 year old hardware i can run 7 days to die just fine.

install windows. update. install games. and play.

it is possible you are causing your own issue with all the tweaking and turning off built in features of windows.

Another thing to check is your cooling. you may be overheating during game play. 7 days to die turns my computer into a space heater.

I suggest monitoring your temps during a horde or while in a city.

I actually open my side panel when i play 7 days to die lol.

My new system runs 7dtd at max settings pretty easy.
