V1.2 EXP

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 00:34 CET

Hello Survivors!

Here is V1.2 b22 EXP for you all.
While the team is all hands on deck working on V2.0, we wanted you all to get the fixes, optimizations and console crossplay preparations sooner rather than later.
With this build we introduce various optimizations to all platforms, but also unleash the ability to generate RWG maps to our Console fans.
Crossplay will be fully enabled once experimental ends, V1.2 goes STABLE and our Console users get access to V1.2. Until then there will be no-one to crossplay with.

This will open up crossplay between PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC clients, however no dedicated servers just yet.

V1.2 should be compatible with existing save games, but we recommend starting a new game for the very best experience.

Here is how you participate:

Right click on the game in steam
Click on properties
Click the “betas” tab
The drop down menu will have latest_experimental available <— you want THAT
Select that and wait for the game to download

V1.0 b336 Hotfix

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 17:16 CEST

Hey Survivors!

We're back with our latest hotfix, v1.0 b336. This update fixes a major bug causing characters in saves with the 'Enemy Spawning' setting toggled off and back on to become fully encumbered and unresponsive. This was part of a larger problem related to an NRE involving sleeper volumes in specific POIs. This hotfix will also correct save files affected by this issue.

For our console users, this update also includes some stability improvements, specifically on the Xbox X/S platform.

While summer vacation may be almost over, we're STILL hard at work on optimizations, bug fixes, Roadmap updates, and getting v1.1 Experimental to you.

Be sure to follow us on X for more updates!

V1.1 b4 EXP

Thu, 08 Aug 2024 01:37 CEST

Hello Survivors!
After another successful round of bug fixing and balancing based on all of your tremendous feedback, we are pleased to announce our latest release for experimental testing, v1.1 b4.

This update addresses some problems related to vehicle interaction with player colliders, as well as some audio issues, and a TON of smaller fixes to various POIs. As such, a new game is highly recommended in order to experience these updated POIs in all of their glory.

We didn't forget about the modders, bringing a fix for an NRE related to custom sign text in custom POIs, adding a GameShuttingDown mod event, and have updated the rwgmixer to allow custom district names via XML.

For our console users, expect to see these changes and more once v1.1 Stable is released.

What's next? Our efforts continue to be focused on squashing bugs and working hard to get closer to a v1.1 Stable release, so stay tuned for future updates!

To get access to this version:

Right click on 7 Days to Die in your Steam Library
In the windows that opens, Click on 'Properties'
Click the 'Betas' tab on the left side of the panel
From the dropdown in the top left, select 'latest_experimental'
Now the game will begin to download
Once it's completed, start playing!
