Hi Guys!!

Please can someone help me?

I recently started playing 7 days to die, while I realize that the game is still in alpha - I am really having problems getting the game to save when ever I exit.

Originally I thought it may have been the EAC, but that wasn't the case.

Next I tried starting the launcher and the game in admin mode, it still didnt save.

Finally I thought maybe the latest update fixed my issue, but it didn't.

I've played 13 hours of this game, this was a single player play through and was done in 1 go. I went to bed thinking the game was saved, woke up and realized my character with all the items in my inventory was reset.

I lost all my levels and all my loot.

Strangely enough tho, the structures that I built and the loot in the chests of the structure I built was still there. It was only my character that reset. Not only did my character reset but I also re-spawned at the other side of the map (despite my character didnt die).

Please can you tell me how I can fix this issue? I have really worked hard in my save and don't want to loose anything. I don't mind using console commands to get my character back to where I was, but it feels cheaty to keep choosing new skill points everytime I load up the save.

 
When you say security software, do you mean my antivirus?

I will look for the log files as soon as I get home then I will post them here.

I have tried opening the console and typing in "saveworld" which lets me know that the world is saved.

 
reading carefully through the log I noticed

On line 373.

Could it be because my name has some symbols and stuff in it? I will try changing my steam name and then check if it still doesnt save
