Since when are these 7days updates so massive (in bit-size).. This patch is 1.2 Gigs..?
And Steam is stuck on preallocating for the past 20 mins..

Probably as resource.asset adjustments.

...and make sure you have free space.

 
My cat. Clearly everything we do is just for my poor old cat. If you like it, that is just a bonus.

Good. Well, I hope that kitty didn't hated quality level system too much and we have at least slight chance of getting it back.

 
Maybe suggest they add that as an option in the launcher to be able to clear? It isn't exactly where people expect to find files. I would bet most people are just deleting their save game and thinking they are good but if you don't delete those World files I assume you won't get fixes for world generation. Also, as far as I know this is the first alpha 7 Days has had files in the base game folder structure that need to be manually deleted after an update.

i just placed an improvement request for the launcher, thats all i can do. :)

 

 


its a habit for me to delete these myself thats why i never noticed it not in launcher.

@joe

Since there are only so many "west juju mountain" names to be used, what's going to happen is, a random seed is going to generate a world, get the same name (thus the same world folder) and either overwrite a previous map that maybe people want to play, or blow up the game.

 
My standart late base was big wall surrounded by layer of steel log spikes and another level of wood spikes. Was really great, ableit consumed a ♥♥♥♥load of time to get all that metall.

Yes, too bad they got rid of log spikes. :(

 
try looking in your 7dtd base game folder in folder titled "...7 Days To Die\Data\Worlds" that is where your generated rwg files are. (thats where mine are)
however server rentals tend to do things different. :)

thanks. my server is a Windows 2012/R2 at InterNAP in Dallas. I found the files.

I had noted if you just delete the savegame folder you get some funny stuff - so I just wiped/removed everything down to bare metal and re-installed fresh.

as do i. :)

 
Let's just say.. this latest experimental version is less stable then the last.. It's crashing all the time. Or not even loading.

We know it. Poor us that have these problem and have to wait for a fix. The snowtorm outside just got more cozy here, but without being able to play its meh.

I don't believe experimentals are patches...we are supposed to completely wipe and do a fresh install.

I'm having no issues starting the game at all.

The one odd thing I'm seeing is when I start the game and check settings, resolution preference is set. When the game launches though, it reverts to 4k and i need to reset it back down to 720p.

I am curious about what may be causing this? For us, the results are completely opposite. The current build runs very well for us compared to the last 2 builds. The only thing that takes along time is the first time random world generation.

I'm running an older i7 with a 1060 and I'm getting 60 fps most of the time. It runs very smooth. I only start to see drops whenever I enter a house, so still something going on there.

When other players join my map, I'll get a small stutter that happens here and there. The other systems seem to run fine.

I'm running textures on full and full resolution on my monitor, (its around 1900 x ?) Anti alaising and vertical sync are on. I've got the view distance turned down to medium? (Not at my computer atm, I forget the exact setting.) I know when I had view distance on high, my system was struggling. Trees and grass are on normal. I did notice a significant performance increase when I turned the grass to near.

Not running particles on water or any of the fancy stuff like SSO or image blur. For my system, this is like hitting a brick wall. Shadows are set to minimal.

With these settings the game still looks pretty and runs good for the most part. Not worried about the fancy graphics until more optimizing is done.

Yeah I'm having the same thing. The resolution is being reset, whilst the rest of the settings aren't.

I think resolution is sort of auto adjustable since I use one ultrawide or my laptops`s monitor and there is no need to change it from settings because game already know which resolution to switch to. And when you lower it as in your case, same reason brings it back.

 
Unplayable vegan mode

Hi,

is there any way to change the requirements for the vegan mode? We often play for buildung, relaxing an practising without enemies. But without them you don't have any chance to get skillpoints and you need years for destroying a few blocks. For this mode I would have back the former version respecting of stamina. For now it's unplayable in the vegan mode.

 
@faatal, sorry for bothering you ,but can you prioritize the problem with connection to the other servers? My friends cannot join any other servers and its boring to play alone. Once again sorry for bothering you, i just hope this issue is solved asap ;)
