Problems connecting

[ktr]

A friend of mine is trying to host a local game. However, when I try to connect, it stalls out at initializing game and then kicks me to the main menu before saying 'creating player'. At this point it does nothing (I've waited ten minutes to see if it lets me in, but go.) My friend can connect to me (but my comp isn't as beefy as hers and we have issues) and I have uninstalled 7d2d via Steam and reinstalled, but not luck. We are running A17E, we both can connect to other servers and I could connect to her in A16 without issue.

If they have a random map larger than 8k this will happen. I've also seen it happen with EAC enabled.

 

[ktr]

Is there a way to turn off EAC with a local host? I did it on another server because I was having the same issue. Thank you so much for answer!

 

[SylenThunder]

If you're just running the stand-alone client, turn it off the the game launcher options.

 

[ktr]

gotcha! Thanks again.

Same Problem here.

A friend of mine is trying to host a local game. However, when I try to connect, it stalls out at initializing game and then kicks me to the main menu before saying 'creating player'. At this point it does nothing (I've waited ten minutes to see if it lets me in, but go.) My friend can connect to me (but my comp isn't as beefy as hers and we have issues) and I have uninstalled 7d2d via Steam and reinstalled, but not luck. We are running A17E, we both can connect to other servers and I could connect to her in A16 without issue.

I have the same problem although mine manifests itself when trying to connect to any server, although it was working ok this morning and nothing has changed.

I have uninstalled 7 days completely, deleted all folders, used launcher tools to delete all saves and maps and then re installed with no effect. I then went on to wipe my server and do a complete re install there as well with no change.

I'm on Windows 10 on an i7 with 32gb and 6gb dedicated graphics so fairly sure thats no the problem.

I won't post whole log as it is all normal until the end.

Merivel, that is because the connection to the server timed out.

What size map is the server running?

4096 which is default size I believe

Hi I have exactly the same problem, I cannot stay connected to any server anymore since the latest update... However I can start a single player game and stay in the session with no problems... But on any server, when I come in the game after 20 seconds or so I am disconnected.

The output log on our Nitrado server shows me this;

We run Navezgane - Alpha 17 B208 - Dedicated MP on a Nitrado server, Day 39, NO Mods, did not start over after latest update, everything was okay before, my friends can play, I did validate my local files, I start with 7DaysToDie.exe, EAC is disabled on server (Win10, 7 days with EAC and steam is a no go for me), tried with win10 firewall disabled ...

Any help greatly appreciated.

After several hours of deleting maps, worlds and game data I have finally managed to connect to my server. Not sure how good of a fix this is and if it will have any negative consequences elsewhere but I edited the serverconfig file on my server to disable LiteNetLib and allowed the use of Steamnetworking and went on to connect error free. Hope this may be of some use to others having this problem ( but if it breaks It wasn't me!)

Thank You @ SylenThunder for your help muich appreciated.

Hi, I like to try this, any instructions on how to achieve this would be welcome ...

The only thing I found was removing "SteamNetworking" from <property name="ServerDisabledNetworkProtocols" value=""/> but if I do that the server is not starting anymore.

Thanks in advance for you reply.

Edit/

I found an other post that sugested to replace "SteamNetworking" to "LiteNetLib" in the same line should do the trick and it did, I am currently in game and playing, did not disconnect.

Yeah I replaced "Steamnetworking" with "LiteNetLib" apologies for not making that clear in original post.
