endless black screen when starting the game for the first time

[Egorka]

I recently downloaded the game from steam, when i launch it a black screen appears with the message "This title is Pre-Release software. Some platform features might not work correctly and might carsh. For support go to: https://7daystodie.com/support/" and so on endlessy. I tried without EAC and nothing helped with it. I looked at the game logs and at the end the message constantly appears

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at GUIWindowManager.Update () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
 
(Filename:  Line: -1)

First issue in the log.

UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Config\Localization.txt" is denied.




Exclude the client from security software, then validate the files a few times. Instructions are in the Pinned Support FAQ thread.

This does not look like a recent version of the game.

From your log:

"Version:  Direct3D 9.0c [nvldumdx.dll 31.0.15.3623]"

The current version uses D3D11

and:

"2023-12-16T22:03:27 0.101 INF [NET] Disabling protocol: UNET

2023-12-16T22:03:27 0.104 INF [NET] Disabling protocol: RakNet"

The current version does not use these protocols.

smells like Alpha 16.x from 2017 (?)
