PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

[Blake_]

My 10 year old HDD is still trying to figure out what is this thing called 7 days to die while slowly allocating space .

 

[Kosmic Kerman]

Can we please get the patch notes for the changes between Build 151 and Build 154? It would nice not to have to re-read the full notes for A19E to try and spot the differences. Thanks.

I am too exhausted to play.  I'll download it, create my character, set my options, go into Navezgane, do some tests and try out the new weapons, go to bed, and then start my actual world later on today/tonight.

Read the very very top, the banner posted by Roland.

You mean this: When you download A19 you MUST start a new save. Maps generated in A18 will NOT work for A19 games. ?

If that's what you are saying, it is not my question.

TFP will tell you at stable release.

Thanks

YAY it downloaded while I was making lunch.  Screw my taxes, I'm going to play!

Sorry; I haven't slept in over 24 hours. I just basically skimmed your comment.

It's free

Looks like generating a 4x4 map takes about the same amount of time now..

I’m glad I rebuilt my pc last December and it can generate 8k RWG maps in About 10 minutes

My 7 days to die Server is bombing out during startup.

 

[Ouch Quit It]

Are 16k maps available?

Not a criticism, just an fyi to you all: the rod and spring mod is history.  Just a tiny fun fact.

The game looks gorgeous though...

Edit: Nevermind, the rod and spring mod was merged with the full auto mod, interesting!

So I have to select "latest experimental - unstable build" in order to start A19 download?

I like how you guys say I posted too much about the Junk Sledge, then posted over 200 messages in the 7 hours I was asleep asking when the update was out and F5'd so hard you crashed the forums >_>

About 40 people had to play co-op to overtake you 

See how confusing this is for people lmao

Tourists are easy to confuse

Just curious, when going from experimental to stable, can you still use your save games or do you have to start over (talking about same alpha here... so from experimental 19 to stable 19)?

The chances are quite good that worlds will work through the experimental process (even if TFP **recommends** a new world). In A18 I played a SP game from A18.1 to A18.4 without a problem. But you may experience bugs you would not have seen with a new world.

Why do people keep talking about "when will experimental be updated" ? Aren't we just supposed to wait untill steam updates 7 days, and then when we open the game it will be A19 ?!

No, that's what an adult would do. =P

 

[DaVegaNL]

That can take anywhere from5 to 30 minutes or longer depending on you PC.

Yeah i know man.. But a 4x4 map took me 1-2 minutes back in A18.

Mine took 20 mins and few seconda, 8x8, will do few more. Wish we had Kin to give us glimpse at whats new, he did it good.

Ah sorry for the confusion, I actually meant to say that generating a new world takes me much longer than before.. On the same rig.

 

[MechanicalLens]

MAAAAAN the fire looks so much better!

 

[EclipsingDeity]

Hey im just curious if i make an expirimental world right now will it carry over with the stable build or will i need to make a new world
