7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

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=<YOUR_DRIVE_LOCATION><YOUR_FOLDER_LOCATION>

Example:

-UserDataFolder=C:\MyUserData

TFP will be deprecating Easy Anti Cheat support for all builds prior to Alpha 20.4 on July 1st. Users can still play older builds but may need to turn off EAC in the launcher.

Alpha 20.4 and newer builds will continue to have EAC running through the Epic Online Services. We have chosen to use this service as it will make future game browser and network cross play support possible.

Cheers The Fun Pimps

Hello everyone!
While the majority of the team is heavy at work on Alpha 21, we are excited to give you A20.4 b42 stable today!

Server owners will need to add/modify these 2 new properties in the serverconfig.xml. These filters will help players find your server.

<property name="Region" value="NorthAmericaEast" />
Values must be one of the following:
NorthAmericaEast, NorthAmericaWest, CentralAmerica, SouthAmerica, Europe, Russia, Asia, MiddleEast, Africa, Oceania

<property name="Language" value="English" />
Values: Use any language name that your players would expect to search for. Should be the English name of the language, e.g. not "Deutsch" but "German". This is a filter name only and DOES NOT SET the language for players.

If no region is entered on the server end, you will not be able to find the server.



For everyone who played EXP:
