Game Freezing when using wire tool to connect light fixtures to generator

We would need a bit more information in order to attempt to reproduce the problem you are having.

1 - Are you using solar power as well?

2 - What quality,  how many,  and how degraded were the batteries in your battery bank.

3 - If you are using solar power, please give the same information for the solar cells.

4 - In what order did you connect all your electrical components.  Example : Solar bank - battery bank - light bulb.

 

It would help even more if you could provide a screenshot of the wiring and the Max output and power stat screen when you open your battery bank.

I will get a screenshot as soon as I reopen the game.

 

As far as your other questions go. 

1. No solar power is used at this moment

2. 1 quality 6, 3 quality 5, 1 quality 3, and 1 quality 2 batteries are installed. All are at max durability. Max output for the battery bank is currently 255w. 

3. N/a

4. Battery Bank - Light bulb. The game freezes as soon as I click the light bulb with the wire tool to connect it. When reloading my character is back a few feet in game and nothing is connected.

for the screenshots should I post them here directly or have a link to them?

I just uploaded the screenshots to imgur and here are the links. There are 4 in total. The battery banks setup.
A quick look at what I am testing. The game still working when the bank is connected. And the resulting freeze/crash when the light is connected.

I hope that this is all helpful to identifying the problem

Thank you for the additional information.

I attempted to reproduce the issue by making the same type of room,  setting the generator and light in the same spots,  placing the same quality batteries in the bank,  and was able to connect the wires without any issue.

 

Sometimes oddities can happen when you don't validate your files.

Please try validating your files in your steam 7 days to die property's local files tab.

I just validated the files and everything there claims to be fine. In the save I am having issues it is still freezing as soon as I try to connect to the light source. 

I did create a new world in the base map and was able to connect a similar setup just fine after spawning in the parts needed. I am not sure why it is working there and not in the save that I have been playing. There have been no other issues in that game prior to this. Could it have to do with random generated maps?

Ok so quick update. I attempted to place different light fixtures in a few other places and those are connecting fine with no issue to the game. Hoping the issue was solved I again tried in the original placement and that one alone caused a crash to desktop immediately. 

I suppose the solution is just to place lights and other electronics in a different location? I won't lie that is a very strange and specific crash that I have never encountered before. But I guess if it works everywhere else then that's cool. Thank you very much for responding as quickly as you have. I do wish I could figure out the reason that one particular location is causing the game to crash. But I am familiar enough with that sort of thing to begin trying to figure it out.

Thank you for the update.  It probably has to do with the save being carried over versions.  Even if it seems safe to continue playing on the same save game after an update,  there may be unexpected issues.

I'm glad that you seem to have found a workaround for it,  and hope nothing else pops up.

I wasn't able to reproduce it,  so I will move this over to the can not reproduce category.
