Windows Sinking beneath the map, disappearing buildings, other minor/major disasters

Hello, I am the Siewca Chaosu, and I will tell you about my problems, in the game 7 Days to Die.

I generated a very cool map when update 2.5 came out, managed to survive 4 days, and then my game crashed hard, which reset my character back to day 1.
After a few days of struggling with myself to return to the game, I decided to start twice in this world because, despite deleting my bike character, I still had my camp. Interestingly, I had most of the map discovered thanks to my previous character, but I had the impression that a few buildings and mailboxes did not detect my previous activity because the loot was not checked. (I couldn't find the bike, but it was a large area).
Apart from the recurring problem that the game loads “badly” and freezes, and zombies can get stuck somewhere between objects, I noticed that on one side of the base, the ground overlaps the floor slab a bit, as if it had sunk a little, but I dismissed it as a minor detail. However, after reaching the town about 800m higher, I noticed that some of the buildings did not load or disappeared (on first character without a crash, I think I got there and there were no problems with displaying objects).
I'm posting a few replays, they may not be in the right order, so please forgive me.
After my character collapsed, the game won't load, there's only a screen with hints.

Oh, and there is one more building, a bar with a lot of chickens downstairs. After activating the quest, you can hear a slight destruction sound. Unfortunately, the loot downstairs is destroyed, so to the person responsible for this, how can you edit something, save the change, and not check if it works afterwards?
That's probably all. You deserve to be scolded a little, but since I got the game key from you on Twitch, maybe I won't add anything else, except maybe “get it fixed!” Good luck :D
All this commotion took place on a Ryzen 9950X3D 64gb ddr5 5090 and Gen 5 SSD,of course in full HD without 3D.

Of course, there's a problem with the link, I'll ask for the administrator's contact details right away because I couldn't find them somehow, maybe here [email protected], there is no specific information on the forum about who the administrator is, or maybe I haven't spent enough time trying to send this message yet.
I wonder how many people didn't report the error because they got some crappy message about spam. (not everyone uploads videos to YouTube, at least not me).
I posted a link to the video and logs at https://justpaste.it.






And finally, add more zombie variants (edit some faces or at least the colors of their clothes).

I also remembered that when I left the game and re-entered while standing on the truck, the character sank into the vehicle + it is possible to get out by digging underneath.
I will also add a few screenshots from an older version
In US Army Post 7, zombies pushed me through the elevator wall under the map.
And at Hogzilla Ranch, when the boar destroyed the ladder, in my opinion, he should have attacked the remaining elements on which the structure rests.

Some notes:
  • You can find your bike if on PC by opening your console (F1) shortly after spawning on the map. Look for lines about vehicles and it will show coordinates of all vehicles. You can then go to that location to get your bike.
  • A crash often moves you back in time, undoing various things you've done before, so some loot containers may not be looted anymore because of that.
  • If you were level 1 and still had everything besides whatever was on your toolbelt, your profile was corrupted and it doesn't recognize you as the same character. If you want to, you can use the creative menu and enable dev items (the button looks kind of like speakers) and search for dev. You'll find items that give you XP so you can level back up to whatever you were at before the crash. You can't remove XP, so be careful not to level up too quickly.
  • Problems with the map may be caused by the crash. If you do a chunk reset at that location, it may fix the problem. While at that location, open the console (F1) and type "cr" without quotes and hit enter. Be aware that this will reset everything in the chunk to the original state, so anything you've built, dug, destroyed, looted, etc. will be undone unless you have a land claim or bed roll there.
  • There is a current bug that can cause a POI to collapse when starting a quest. It's not too common, but it does happen. That will be fixed and isn't a problem with the POI itself. If you start another quest at that POI, it'll probably be fine.
  • Water is no longer available from most items in the game since they added empty jars back. In most others, it is very rare. Your options include filling empty jars at a lake or river or ditch or else using dew collectors.
  • It is a long time "bug" that if you exit the game while on a vehicle, you'll spawn inside the vehicle (not driving, but in the same location).
