Hello Survivors!

Hello Survivors!

 

While testing we were able to unearth and fix a few more issues.

 

Here is what changed since b15:

 

Changes

• Trader POIs are now excluded from the chunk reset system. This avoids issues with resetting player-rented vending machines
• Increased the block range of spears

 

Fixes:

• Error while saving player file in some disconnect scenarios 
• Argument Exception from hitting object with vehicle
• NRE with GameManager+ freezes zombies and other entities on dedicated servers

Hello Survivors!

 

As we approach the stable release of A21.1, we are pleased to present a small hotfix patch for you. This patch primarily addresses a harmless, yet noticeable error popup affecting server browser searches. This was occurring with servers erroneously setup with the port set to 0. Servers setup in that matter will no longer start.

 

Changes since b12:

 

Fixes

• Twitch Cooldown is disabled when shared quest is removed while on an active quest.
• Server Browser error on search
• Server can no longer be started with an invalid port
• Resolved problem where certain extension actions were not functioning as intended.
• Restarting game with EAC enabled results in an EAC launcher error

A21 Press Release Notes

Hey Survivors,

It has been a while since our last major release, December 2021 to be exact. For a year and a half, our growing team has been working hard to bring you Alpha 21. This Alpha delivers more polish, optimizations, updates, quality-of-life improvements, new content, new features, and new gameplay systems than ever before. We say it every Alpha, and we will say it again, this is the biggest and baddest version of the game to date.

If you have never played 7 Days to Die or you have not played it for a while, you're going to want to check out Alpha 21. Pushing hard towards the Gold Version, this impressive mountain of work could only be achieved by the lengthy, iterative, development style we have gone through. The Fun Pimps dream big and know that nothing of this magnitude comes overnig...

Hello Survivors!

With the Experimental phase of A21 coming soon, we want to patch an issue we found during testing.
This patch only addresses a benign save game compatibility error users would encounter when returning to A20 after a session in A21 Exp.
This patch does not contain any content you may have seen in an A20.7 Twitch build, those features will roll out with A21.

 

Stay alert for developer stream announcements to catch the latest news about A21!

 

Please remember A20 save games will not work with A21 for Steam or Microsoft users, you will have to start a new game.

Hello Everyone!

 

We have another stable patch for Alpha 20. 

With the overwhelming majority of the team working full steam on A21, we took some time to merge fixes and changes to A20 for your enjoyment.

 

 

Due to Microsoft requirements, custom prefabs can no longer be saved directly to the game folder.
They will be saved to the User Defined Folder (UDF).
This default location is:

\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\LocalPrefabs

To avoid having to re-save each POI one at a time in the prefab editor, all POI's currently located in...

\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Prefabs

...should be manually moved to the UDF.

The UDF can be declared in the game launcher as a command line parameter.
Add the following to the command line:

Format:

-UserDataFolder=

Example:

-Use...

Welcome to the Alpha 21 Developer Diary where members of The Fun Pimp staff will occasionally answer questions, post updates of what they are working on, and give us sneak peaks into the future of 7 Days to Die.

 

This is a focused thread meaning that any off-topic chatter or side conversations not involving a TFP staff member will be moved to an overflow thread in general discussions.

 

In addition, only Alpha 21 features that have been confirmed will show up in the list below. No longer will planned and hoped-for features be posted until they are actually a reality. This means that even though a developer might talk about their wishes for A21 in the body of the thread, those features will not be listed as official A21 features here until they are confirmed as already implemented.

 

A21 Release Target Date: June 12 2023
