Problems with non host players post 20.4

Accessless

Refugee
Hi, has anyone else encountered some weirdness with other players on non dedicated servers? We've been playing this game since A20 (Windows version) and have been fine up until A20.4

Since the update non host players are not awarded skill points on leveling and possition data can be out of date upon logging off and on again (a player would move around the map, log off and back on but find themselves in a location they were in from an hour previously).

Does anyone have any suggestions on what might have gone wrong or how I can fix this?

 
It would be great to see the log of the person hosting plus a log of one of the players not getting xp. Use pastebin for the logs and post the links here. Instructions are in the pinned topic called Before Posting Bug Reports. There’s a decent chance that there are clues in the logs.

 
First thing, both the server host and the player are running A20.3 not A20.4. Secondly, in the server host log there seems to be at least 2 separate issues. The first problem shows an error ‘data received bad’ sometimes indicates that some ports on the hosts router need opened/forwarded. In the pinned thead, https://community.7daystodie.com/topic/3998-support-faq-information-and-common-solutions/ you will find which ports need forwarded then use an online port scanner to confirm those ports are open. Be sure your game folder and saves folder are excluded from your antivirus.

Second issue shows some residual files from a different version on the host computer. Once you have looked at the port/antivirus issue, you need to clean your files. Bring up the game launcher, select tools tab, check all boxes except saved games then hit clean. This way you might save the current game. If it still is having problems, repeat the cleaning procedure but also check the saved games.

If things are still not working, post new server host log file.
