[2022] A20.6 b8 EXP

Hello Everyone!



While Alpha 21's production goes full steam ahead, there are a list of fixes compatible with A20 we did not want you all to wait on any longer!


To participate:

1. right click on the game in steam
2. click on properties
3. click the "betas" tab
4. the drop down menu will have latest_experimental available ← you want THAT
5. select that and wait for the game to download.



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=<YOUR_DRIVE_LOCATION><YOUR_FOLDER_LOCATION>


Example:

-UserDataFolder=C:\MyUserData


The UDF can also be set in the serverconfig.xml file.

Format:

<property name="UserDataFolder" value="<YOUR_SERVER_DRIVE_LOCATION><YOUR_SERVER_FOLDER_PATH><YOUR_FOLDER_LOCATION>" />

Example:

<property name="UserDataFolder" value="C:\MyServer\Users\TFP\123456\MyDediSaves" />
