7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

There are other things to consider as well, like my profile only shows that I have 5,932 hrs on record. However it isn't recording any of the hours I had playing before Steam started tracking that, any "offline" hours from before they started including those, or any of the hours I have spent testing closed build...

This looks like gameplay for an actual game. It is called "7 Days Blood Moons", and is being developed by Illogika on the 7 Days to Die game engine.

This is real, and you need to do a lot more research before you start making assumptions.

No, this is not common with one exception. If you crash the game client (Alt+F4), your computer crashes, or loses power unexpectedly, any files that are actively being written to are going to be corrupted. Not just game files, but system files too.
In the case that something like this happens, there are backups in place so you could possibly restore. However attempting to launch the save prior to taking the restoration actions will over-write the backups with the corrupted files.
The process for recovery in this situation is outlined in the Pinned Troubleshooting thread in the Support section of this forum.

It might be useful if you mentioned what the issue you are having is.

Just remember they’re still stretching textures over 1 meter blocks so don’t expect to be blown away.

Originally posted by Nerevar: the stupid consequenceless respawn system is why i play 1 life only. just dont die. this game feels like it was designed for that overall. i normally dont play hardcore in games but if you can just respawn without any real noticeable downside i fail to see any risk in this game when you can just endlessly respawn nearby. that option shouldnt even exist. it makes no sense. i can see respawn at bed so you have to take the risk of running for your bag atleast. but respawn nearby and all zombies reset is just dumb. pretty much cannot lose with such a system.

and its pretty simple to avoid like 95% of deaths in this game to begin with even on harder difficulty aside from the very early game days. diffculty is...

The only way this could really happen is if you always woke up at the trader complex and your payment was for medical care. I could see it if you always respawned at the nearest trader because otherwise who are we paying the money to?

I'm not a dev though.

As if people by and large already don't just google "best skill spec for 7DTD" and cookie cutter copy the builds made by others.

Let's be real though, As it is, Almost noone (I won't say 'No one' because surely at least 1 user is doing this) is wearing mixed light/heavy armor... Either you've got the light armor skill and you're wearing light armor, or you've got the heavy armor skill and are wearing heavy armor. There's essentially no inbetween.. The only time most other users will wear mixed armor is because they just happened to find a mix of light/heavy while looting early game and ANY armor is better than NO armor. But once they pick Light/Heavy skill, they pick that armor class and stop wearing mixed armor.

So... What exactly has changed? Pretty much nothing. People're gonna pick their favorite set, and wear that set. If anything, the... Read more

A lot of the old versions don't work with the launcher because there was no launcher back then. Go into the files and start the game by clicking on the 7daystodie.exe file and the game should start without problems.

If you are getting exception errors then it means that there is still coding from newer versions mixed into your game so try verifying the files and hopefully that will work. You can also try doing a full clean which will erase all saves and maps before downloading the old version so that none of the newer code is there to gum things up.

So if it was me I would do things in this order:

1) While in the current version start the game and choose open launcher. Go to tools and select clean. Check all the boxes and do a full clean and then close the launcher.

2) Go into the betas and download the old version you want to play.

3) Once the old version shows in your library right click on it and go to properties and verify the file... Read more

No. As a test, go to Epic games and try searching for 7 Days to Die.

Epic games owns Easy AntiCheat which 7 Days already employs and the Crossplay features 7 Days to Die is developing. That's the only connection.

It will not be available when A22 releases on the console, but is planned to be available on a later date. The initial Alpha test on consoles will have some limitations as they are still having to move worlds in terms of optimization to get it to run properly. There are likely to be permanent limitations to usable map sizes on the console as a result as well.

There is no need to restart every Alpha.

For many years now, including every Alpha that I've played, the devs have made the previous Alphas available to re-download at any time in the game's Steam settings (instructions are in the pinned FAQ). You can set your game to download Alpha XYZ, and stay on that Alpha indefinitely no matter what happens in the future. If you are happy with Alpha XYZ then you can completely tune out that the game is still in development, if that's what you want. They've been doing it for so long that there's no particular reason to think this practice won't continue.

If on the other hand you think "there's no fun there," then... good news! The developers agree with you. That's why they kept working on the game, instead of stopping at Alpha XYZ. If you stop to think about it for a bit, it wouldn't be feasible to make worlds made in the old Alphas compatible with newer versions. You would have chests full of sharpened sticks and adobe ramp...

Previous posts with quotes got all screwed up so I'm going to re-post them here.

OMG I LOVE games that aren't finished... But I'm SO MUCH more wary of them...

Have you not been burnt by a game that *ever* promised all you wanted in a game - from past or even present? No? Perhaps? There's BILLIONS of dollars worth - perhaps not that much, perhaps it's just millions...

Have you "engaged" in No Mans Sky" & (dare I say) suffered it's updates!?

And you can opt into any alpha version going as far back as 8.8 and play your old saved games anytime anyway if a new updates drops - BUT who would ever...
