I own the game through steam  with no mods and play on a windows OS.   

upon launching the game about 50% of the time it opens the console and runs this(log lines below) in all RED along with some other stuff in the logs. and the game just gets stuck at 0% loading a world on a black screen.  I have tried reinstallation, Verifying game files, cleaning it through the launcher and waiting many months for a potential fix and im still having this issue 

CRC Mismatch. Provided cf93fa9b, calculated b22c9d97 from data. Will not load AssetBundle 'Data\Addressables\Standalone\terraintextures_assets_all.bundle'
2024-05-11T12:57:33 15.431 ERR WSD.Init: Initializing MDC failed
2024-05-11T12:57:33 15.434 EXC No Texture2DArray found for terrain Diffuse

the other 50% of the time I get no errors appearing in my console till in loading into a world.  then it runs this code over and over and over in my console till the game crashes 

CRC Mismatch. Provided 660adc32, calculated 657c9450 from data. Will not load AssetBundle 'zombies.bundle'
2024-05-11T13:33:01 167.525 ERR Model '@:Entities/LootContainers/safeGunLargeFullPrefab.prefab' not found on block with name cntGunSafe
2024-05-11T13:33:01 167.525 ERR Model has a wrong name 'safeGunLargeFullPrefab'. Maybe check upper/lower case mismatch on block with name cntGunSafe?
CRC Mismatch. Provided 29545ba4, calculated 8dce0d1 from data. Will not load AssetBundle 'lootcontainers.bundle'

Exception: The ProvideHandle is invalid. After the handle has been completed, it can no longer be used

(this is what the game shows in the console but there's some other code in the logs that looks of potential issue)

I don't really know how to go about changing the Upper/lower case it would its mentioning, and even then I feel like I'm just going to end up having another issue.

I haven't been able to play in about 8 months since I started having this issue and I'm hoping to figure this out so I can get back in 

 
"not been unplayable"

So...you can play it?

Providing the entire log file is also more help than small snippets of it.

 
sorry for the @%$#ty grammar.   my game is unplayable, I cannot load into any worlds as my game runs red text in the console and eventually crashes every time.                 

as well as if my game was playable I wouldn't be asking people for help trying to fix it 

I could get the full logs I just didn't wanna fill this post up with a massive log sheet so I figured a short string of it would suffice for now. I get different errors throughout the load up process so Id probably end up sharing like 3 different logs  

if you wanna look at my full logs I can provide them I just don't really know where to start with it all

Going to be hard to tell you anything without a log.

There is a PINNED thread that tells you to read it before posting. It has instructions on how to post your logs, and the data we need to help you. Did you not read it before posting?

 
sorry honestly no i did not see said pinned post, ill do so befor going further.  wasnt really expecting people to actually try help. i will try post once im finished work for the day

 
Yeah a log file would be needed here. All of those are pretty much saying you have files that somehow are mismatched, though I have to say I've never seen that verbiage in this game yet. 

 
lets try again, I play on steam, with no mods, on a windows OS, this happens on single player worlds and a world I host that my friend joins 

(all worlds have been 8k random gens)

some context: I have not been able to get into a world and play the game consistently since about September.  it started randomly one day I boot up the game and I get the a red text in my console while in the main menu I think nothing of it but I try launch a world I played only singleplayer by myself and the game gets stuck on a black screen and 0% initializing and eventually goes unresponsive and crashes. I launch the game again and this problem consists throughout many attempts I try over and over, over the next couple days and just give up on it working. I try again every week or two, sometimes the errors change but I still cant get into a world.  eventually in like late January I get into a world on a Saturday and play for multiple hours. I figured problem solved but the next day the issues persisted. ever since that point there's like a 1/20 chance I get into a world and can play for a bit, the other times I still get Console issues resulting in crashes. ( I know it "technically still works" but I am unable to replicate that consistently sometimes it works sometimes it fails 15 times in a row and I give up)

Skip to today:  today I have booted my game 5 times and I am getting the same error for all 5 times (log will be included). How ever this error message I am getting today is not the same as the error messages I was getting on the day I made the original post (I'm pretty sure)

heres a log of one issue i have, I don't expect anyone to solve anything I'm just hoping someone can shine some light onto what the hell is going on with my game. thanks in advance for anyone who takes their time to check this out 

no red text till loading into a world, resulting in crash

Tues 14 7pm 

it will not let me attach my just paste it links it says theyre blacklisted as spam, i want to share but it dont know how else to do so 

 
Ok, this is going to be in a few steps.

 
so far this has worked and I can actually boot into worlds now. I've created 4 different worlds and booted into them each about 4 times and I am no longer getting any error messages in my game. it appears to be working again. not sure what happened in the first place, or how or why this fixed worked, but I am very excited about being able to play the game again. 

 thank you guys very much for the help, hopefully this holds out long term 

 
Try this

Go into your 7 days to die game folder and delete the  following folder:

7 Days to Die/Data/Addressables

Then have Steam verify the game files for 7 days to die multiple times (at least 4).  It should redownload those files.

For some reason, the game is having issues loading up the bundle files which are located at the file location I shared above.  One or more of those files may be corrupt which is causing issues with your game loading up properly.

That is what I would try first.

 
yes I have since done both deleting the addressables and his steps above, aswell as adding the game to my antivirus's exclusions the game file and user data. 

i managed to load into a world once ,now I am still continuing to get error messages and this one is about the vehicles asset bundles now

Here is your error...
 

2024-05-19T17:05:47 52.739 ERR XML loader: Loading and parsing 'blocks.xml' failed




So basically the client is unable to read the file. Either because it is corrupted, or because of access/permission issue.

 
my game is still having many issues related to this thread. just to be clear it was never fixed I just lost all motivation to carry on. your suggestions don't really make sense to me but that does not mean i hvae been unwilling to try. no files should be corrupted i just deleted the game and all data from steam and my recycling bin and booted off a fresh install so I don't see how I would have any corruption issues), why would i be having a permission/access issue if I'm able to get into the game 1/20 start ups, if the game didn't have access/permission i feel like it would NEVER BOOT? I have tried literally everything you guys suggested to see essentially no long term results I don't know what to do anymore I've pretty much given up all hope in being able to play the new alpha. i was thinking maybe if i re purchased the game through game pass it might work but I don't have the money for that right now

Access permissions can potentially cause corruption when saving or loading.  You might have other hardware problems as well.  Faulty RAM can mess things up and isn't always noticeable except in certain situations.  You could run a memtest on your RAM (Google will help you to try that).  It could also be a hard drive going bad.  If you have a second drive, try installing to that drive and see if you have the same problems.  The game could just be installed onto a corrupted part of the drive.

At this point, much of the help you will get will likely just be guesses.  Anything is worth trying, but it is likely that most won't help because they are just guesses.  But I'll leave others to try and figure out other possible causes.  These are just my suggestions to try.
