B240, Cannot start start a game. Game freezes on "Building Environment"

Since b240 dropped I have not been able to load up or start a new game.

90% of the time the games freezes on the loading screen, the music keeps playing but seemingly no progress is made to actually load the game.

If the game does manage to load, my FPS is literrally .13, so 100% unplayable.

Prior to b240, there was only one time the game failed to load, it was a one off crash during the load screen. The game ran fine enough, I was getting anywhere between 20-60 fps, since nothing has changed with the specs of my computer I feel like it's a software issue.

I verified the files, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, deleted all saves and profiles through the launch menu and set all settings to default... with no luck. Every other game on my computer is running fine.

I posted on the 7D2D subreddit and no one else seems to be having this problem.

What is my next step?

Post your logs. The instructions for how to do this are in the Sticky thread you should have read before starting a new thread. (not being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, just stating facts.)

Sorry, here's the log.

https://pastebin.com/DZMS0JEf

looking at the logs, I notice something. I ran Dxdiag before starting 7d2d and everything was fine. After the game crash Dxdiag now says my render device does not support 3d acceleration.

I have a GTX 1050Ti so there should be no problem.

Usually you just need to re-install DirectX. Probably broken by a Windows update. Happens all the time.

You also have this issue...

Code: 
2018-12-23T18:25:56 10.205 ERR Error opening SDF file: Sharing violation on path C:\Users\GregM\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\Saves\profiles.sdf
Be sure to exclude the client from AV software. I personally recommend excluding all of Steam so it includes all your games by default.

Instructions are in the Sticy FAQ.

So yeah, it's a couple things going on. You're crashing because of DirectX missing, and even if that didn't happen, you'd end up with an issue because of the locked file.

 
Been having the exact same problem. Hosting a game with a friend.

First log file....

You need to wipe all your saves. Previous saves are not compatible.

Code: 
2018-12-23T23:59:15 147.855 WRN Savegame contains unknown option 'EnemySenseMemory'. Probably an outdated savegame, ignoring this option!
And there's a corrupt player profile. (possible because of old save, or possibly from another issue)

Code: 
2018-12-24T00:00:04 196.795 WRN Spawned entity with wrong pos: [type=EntityPlayerLocal, name=Flynn, id=171] id=171 pos=(1.0, -1.0, -1.0)

Second log file....

Nothing to see there.

Third log file....

Quit while player was entering.

I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like 7D2D is corrupting my GPU driver. Before you were able to respond to my last post I did a windows reset and wiped my GPU drivers. I did a clean install directly from NVidia. When that was done I loaded up 7D2D and it worked great. this morning I loaded up 7D2D and It failed to load the same as before, I ran DxDiag and sure enough 3d acceleration was disabled again.

I tried re-installing Direct X but the Microsoft download says that it can't install DirectX because my current version is up to date. So I re-installed my GPU drivers again and sure enough 7D2D worked again.

I'll keep tinkering with this until I find a permanent solution but at this moment I'm not entirely sure what's going on.

 
Any time Windows does a major update, it will replace your good GPU drivers with the BS Windows drivers. Every Windows Update I re-install my GPU driver.

Hmmm I had started a completely new save. Will delete all other saves. And I completely deleted my old player profile and created a new one. That might actually be from me TPing my char to see if that would fix it (a tip given on this problem a while back).

Actually, if you go to Control Panel->Devices->Your GFX card you can disable automatic updates for that device and bar windows from automatically imposing that driver on you. :)

7D2D is the only affected game.

edit: k now the other games aren't working... re-installing gpu drivers....

edit 2: how do you strike text on this thing?

So now the game won't load at all. All the other games on my computer work. I've clean re-installed all drivers. unless you can spot something out of the ordinary with the logs I'm ready to post this on the bug reporting thread because I am convinced this is a problem with 7d2d and not my computer.

Thanks for the help.

 
Still the same issue with DirectX.

Try this:

  1. right-click start button
  2. choose command prompt (admin)
  3. type SFC /scannow and press enter
    this scans system files and will repair anything corrupted. (Like bad DirectX drivers.)
  4. Now in same window, copy paste this: (needs to be exact)
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  5. Then rerun sfc /scannow once dism is finished.
  6. Restart your PC
  7. Download this...
  8. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8109
  9. When you run it, it asks for a folder to extract to. I just created a folder called "DX2010" in my downloads folder and extracted it there.
  10. Once it's done the window will close.
  11. Go to the folder you told it to extract the files to, and run DXSETUP.exe
  12. After it's done, restart your PC again.

 
Thanks for all the help SylenThunder, but unfortunately that didn't work. 7D2D is still the only game that doesn't work.

I'm going to make a post in bug reporting.
