Challenges are bugged

We're having the same issue, only the Host still has any achievements / missions. We also started with no beginning equipment, and there's no way to find the first trader now without randomly stumbling upon him. This is all the rest of us see:

Wondering if it'sScreenshot 2025-06-16 204319.png because of being a session with others causing that, I'm running solo with creative mode on and I'm not having that problem with my challenges.

You just pasted in the middle of the line ... probably had your cursor there.


As far as the challenges, I just finished a game with someone on P2P (not server) and we both had challenges showing up just fine. Not sure what the difference is.
 
ahh ok, was trying to post what I've found so far. But it won't let me post it because I don't have a URL or a video showing what I've found so far.
 
Update - Host made a new world that we kept mostly at default settings (only changed it to not drop toolbar on death). I deleted all of my past user-created characters/profiles, and made a new one with a new name that I've never used before. Then I closed the game fully. I opened steam (without 7d2d loaded already) and clicked "join game" from my steam friends list. I selected "spawn in random location" instead of spawning near the Host like last time when it bugged. My achievements are working now. I don't know what exactly of those things was the part that mattered, but I thought I would share.

I don't know how to retrieve my logs while in game. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your logs are normally located in %appdata%\7DaysToDie\Logs\ unless you have changed the location. If you look at your console in the game (F1) when you first open the game to the menu, at the top will show the path if you need it. Just pick the most recent log from whenever some problem occurred.
 
we also often get a skill reset over the network.
This happens during the CONNECTION of the players.
This problem started in A21.
 
My friends and I did a bunch of testing, and the thing that seemed to consistently bug out achievements for us was choosing anything other than "spawn in random location." Every time any one of us selected any other spawn option, the world bugged and there was no fixing it at that point. It would then bug for everyone else.
 
So far every case I have seen of this has been caused by not wiping old save/profile/mod data before starting the unstable experimental build.
 
I had same issue during coop with my friend. He got the bug (he was joining my game, I was fine).
We did some testing. I believe that issue is related to spawn near friend option and randomly generated map:

Navezgame: Spawn near Friend = NO BUG;
Navezgame: Spawn in random location = NO BUG
Map from random generator: Spawn near Friend = BUGGED;
Map from random generator:Spawn in random location = NO BUG

Also spawn near friend worked differently on random generated map, my friend was 900m away, while on Navezgame it was maybe 50m

Also:
I installed game just before 2.0, I turned it only once to see that it is still 1.4, then I shut it down and switched to experimental few hours later.
Game had my old save still stored somewhere
My friend did full wipe, issue did not disappear.
 
When me and my friend try to play, the not Host player loses the Achievements the tab has no more Achievements to select and dont come back even after relogging
I'm having the same issue

My friend and I have just discovered this as well.

Never had an issue with this until 2.0. Me and my friend have thousands of game hours together on this game. Happened to both of us as joiners on the other players map.

Also the joining player does not spawn in with anything in their inventory. No water, bandage, can of food, trader note, nothing.

Happened to us on random gen map, not spawning near friend
 
I'm playing with 3 other people. One of which is the host of the game. We all chose spawn near friend on a random map. I am the only one who doesn't have achievements, but twice now when trying to load the game it started auto showing the log at the top of the screen which I had to close and then told me to spawn a second time. Hasn't done this to anyone else I'm playing with.
 
Blank challenges! For me V2.0 is the first time the problem started. I am the only one on a multiplayer server with this problem. Single player works fine.
For our friend group, creating a new world and everyone wiping all past profiles/characters, making sure to join the new world with fresh characters, and then always clicking "spawn in random location" fixed it for all of us. Maybe that would fix it for you, hopefully! Either way, good luck!
 
We've tried both choosing "spawn near player" and "spawn random location" and had the error on both occasions, with the joining player not receiving starter items or challenges. I have definitely wiped all previous saves but will try again with my friend wiping all previous game data and report back if still an issue
 
Surprised Jugg hasn't posted this here.

Copying from the Discord....
For those of you with the no challenges issue, try this:

If you have DM access (F1, enter DM), hit shift + F6. Search for a command called reset_challenges. Try that out. Hopefully that will fix it.

If you're on a server or connected to someone's P2P game, have them enter this into the server console or F1 menu: admin add "YOURNAME" 0

So basically, the host needs to give the players with the issue admin access. Then they can go into dm to do shift+F6 and do the command.
After they finish that they can exit dm, and you can remove admin.
