I'm normally not the type of person that just registers to a forum for complaining. But this was a VERY bad decision. My personal hardware configuration (and I reckon that I'm not the only one with a similar setup): a small SSD with 100 GB for Windows and some essential tools, a big SSD with 1 TB for all the rest. That's my ideal configuration for backups, working, playing since years. And I'm not eager to change it (and spend extra money for another SSD) just because of one silly developers decision that doesn't change ANYTHING regarding gameplay, bugfixing, performance.
Why isn't it just possible to customize a specific MODS folder in the game options itself, and the game searches this folder for files when starting? At least it better should be an option in the near future. Otherwise 7 Days To Die is dead for me!

Hi
I put this question because it could be different for the server...
at this moment all the mods that the server has give me an error

Well, shouldn´t have changed either i think. At least not that i could see anything in the change log about it.
@Gamida Yeah, thx. Figured that out too, but that´s just a pretty bad workaround sadly. Even if i get them all in my history list, i have to change the location everytime i want to go to another server. So i need to write that down or remember that too. It sucks. Bigtime.
@Hated My server region is europe. It´s a standard setting that has been there before in my command center. Why on earth do we need to set it again manually in the config file?
Another change that makes it kinda hard for many people. You guys try to get rid of computer noobs (sorry no offense) really hard with the changes lately.
And i really need to do a new search if i wanna switch servers, just because one is in europe and the other one is in NA? Why? Why can´t my history list not just be there with all my visited servers no matter what i searched for? And why do i even need to use the search if i just want to go to my history list? Apply the search after we got on the server list. Not as a must before.

I Strongly agree...Modding community keeping this game afloat (imo). For the FP to move all the Read/Write to the C drive, while it is a plus to performance it will shorten the life of those of us with SSD's. I for myself, I will NOT be updating to this version. RIP 7DtD.

Here is the scenario we have:
- Multiple administrators log onto the server using unique credentials.
- The four different instances of the game are run as services executing under the "system" account.
- The system account doesn't have a USER profile requiring applications to run with the -NO PROFILE flag or similar attributes.
- Because each of our administrators can build a new instance of a server and/or configure an over-haul MOD, which USER profile would you intend to store the associated files in?
- How do we have multiple /MODS folders in one USER profile so that each game instance can access the unique /MODS folder meant for that instance?
- Given that you are playing roulette with the game files, do we bet on 0 or 00? (Betting on a ~49/50 outcome is way to boring...)
Right now the UserDataFolder setting works great and all player, map, and game specific information is stored where we tell it to be placed. I'm hoping that extends to the MOD folder also.

I had the same problem & errors yesterday. I figured I'd wipe because I had mods (Alloc's x3 + CSMM_Patrons) installed on the server, and, well, the mod thing... Pretty lame to wipe but w/e I guess. I actually had to reinstall the whole server (Bluefang) and noticed the serverconfig.xml updated again after my first update, so I guess the 2 new parameters got added there. Gave up at that point while it reinstalled. Just now getting back to it...
I didn't save my original launch string from yesterday but before I gave up I do remember looking at that & re-did my active parameters. I just now finished launching the server & it is now coming up in the search.
Connecting... did I just see something regarding Epic in the messages? Got into the game w/out the mods. Back to figuring out the rest of that mess considering the folder moves...

I'll stay with 20.2 stable at the moment. Enough fun for me with all the MODS already available. RWG Performance could be better. But overall I can live with that version, especially because I play offline only. However, I'm curious how the developers will communicate the new folder restriction to the Linux gamers - with their often even smaller main partitions.

No problem for linux users, the location is in the home dir of the user. Normally that is just "beside" the default steam dir where all the games are stored.
But at the moment there are NO mod folder restrictions at all. There is just an additional location where mods are looked for. A modded game should run without any changes to the Mods folder.
@Hated & @Scumgrief
Adding the absolute path to my server config fixed the access problem. My XML config has always had the user/save data folder elements but the paths were relative ( e.g. ./Data ) changing them to have the absolute path enables access again.
Example:
<property name="UserDataFolder" value="D:/TCAFiles/Users/petert/12345/Data" />
<property name="SaveGameFolder" value="D:/TCAFiles/Users/petert/12345/Save" />
FYI: We always connect via IP Address, have not checked search screen

So it seems reasonable to you to condescend to someone trying to help you? The company you bought your computer from likely does operate in the US, as most of the common brands do, so the ruling might apply to you even though you don't live in the US, as it would have changed their entire warranty policy. Maybe you should find out before you admit defeat.

This game's entire life cycle will remain in alpha. So it's not acceptable for people to shrug and tell you that, much less the developers. The game is 9 years old. If it's still in alpha after all this time, it will never leave alpha. And being in alpha is no excuse for haphazardly wiping out people's entire servers with no means of getting them back and no accountability of ruining it in the first place.
