Is it correct to say that the ready-made graphic presets "ultra, high, medium, low" are stable combinations of settings and it is better to use them than to try to change the settings manually?
Will the game run less smoothly if some settings are left at a high level and others are low or disabled?

They are a combination that goes together to meet a general performance target. Moving any setting lower from a preset is not bad and should simply increase performance.

My deepest fear is with A21 that it will become unplayable on my 8 year old laptop. (Even at lowest settings) 7d2d currently runs without any problems on it and on medium settings. Im afraid with all the new changes, improvements, and graphics that even on lowest settings my laptop wont be able to go above 10 fps. 😕 *crosses fingers*

That should not be the case, but I'm curious to see how it runs for you.

They said it was only in Navesgane but that they were looking at possibilities for RWG.  No guarantees, though.

I hope they're able to at some point. I was so excited seeing that tunnel and then quickly sad that it was Navezgane-only. It would be a perfect foundation for the next base Idea I have on my friend's server.

 
This may sound strange and annoy the 7DTD community. I would love for TFP to cancel A21 putting all their effort into A22. I love everything I have seen in the A21 Dev Videos. Watching those videos was like rushing home to receive a present. Saying this I think A22 is going to be the game changer. I have been playing this game for ten years non stop and am looking forward to the next evolution to the game.

I think A20 is flawless as is and would rather wait A22. This could also give TFP more time to work out bugs.  I have a feeling A22 will be the turning point for 7DTD. 

When A21 does come out I will no doubt be grinding away at it.

I have the same CPU as Lathan, a 3070 TI GPU and play at the lower resolution of 1440p, yet I put no settings on Ultra. I want a smoother higher frame rate, so I use High, which nets me 80-100+ FPS most of the time. There is a big difference between being out in the forest with not much around you vs in a city with buildings all around you, so I pick settings for the more demanding locations.

Excellent and exactly what I’d do. Ultra high settings don’t do much for me. I can tell the differences in images, I cannot while gaming. I much prefer consistent decent frame rates vs extreme quality.

Interesting take, but I don't think it works like that. There's kinda no reason for them not to release a21 at this point. It's not like it's holding back a22, it's stuff that they need to do anyway. Besides a21 is pretty much ready now.

 
Was there any consideration of the Steam Deck? I can run medium stuff fine right now, usually take it down a notch on horde nights as a precaution.

I don't think that TFP do their counting like that. Like Gronal says:

We're not waiting for the "May 2023" release and expect a "July 2023" release to be coming up, there's nothing to say that A21 has to be released this month, or even this year. If anything, delaying the release by packing more content into any single update would likely mean that there are future content updates to do (I.E. is A21 is absolutely stuffed, there may not even need to be an A23)

Wooo! I had a strong feeling when it was said last week they were down to one MustFixer. Mega-stoked... Now when's A22 coming?  .. Relax, it's a joke! (Well like.. mostly..)

 
Kinda sad now lol, the anticipation was what was keeping the adrenaline flowing.

Is the QA stream still happening on Wednesday night?
