    schwanz9000
    • Version: A21

    PLEASE NOTE: If RWG looks to be frozen at any step during generation, please hold and let the generation finish. Clicking on the game window will trigger Windows to report that the game is no longer responding. We are looking into the issue. Thanks!


    STEP 1. CHECK THE KNOWN ISSUES LIST
    Read through the Known Issues List to see if it was already reported.
    Use CTRL+F to search for various terms related to your bug.

     

    STEP 2. GATHER INFORMATION


    OUTPUT LOGS

    The MOST important thing needed with ALL bug reports is the output log.
    Your report will be REMOVED if there is no link to a Pastebin output log.

     

    By default, output log files are in:
    Windows - %AppData%\7DaysToDie\logs
    Linux - <game folder>/7DaysToDie_Data/
    Mac - Next to the game's .app file

     

    PLEASE USE PASTE BIN TO UPLOAD YOUR OUTPUT LOGS

     

    Pastebin How to Video

    SCREENSHOTS and .CSV File

    Please use the following for all screenshots:

    Press F11 or use the dbs command to open the screenshot panel

    This will open a panel in-game where you can type a description of the bug.

    Once done, click OK.

    There will then be a SCREENSHOTS folder in the same location as the logs above as well as a copy of the screenshot on the clipboard.

    NOTE: The best way to submit a screenshot is to upload it to an image site that allows links such as https://imgur.com/upload then provide the LINK in your report.
    DO NOT paste pictures directly into the report. They will not show up properly.

     

    If your bug is related to perks, books, schematics, please check the SAVE PERKS box in the screenshot panel. This will create a .CSV file in the screenshots folder that has all of your perks, books, and schematics listed.

     

    RWG INFO

    Please provide the map_info.xml from the generated world folder. %AppData%\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWorlds\<your world>

    OTHER INFO

     

    WHAT BLOCK/SHAPE IS IT?

    Hit F11 with the cursor on the prop/shape you are having issues with.
    Follow the instructions above for screenshots.

     

    WHICH POI AM I LOOKING AT?

    POI’s
    While inside the POI bounds, press F11.
    The screenshot panel will show the POI’s file name and localized name.
    Follow the instructions above for screenshots.

    RWG Tiles
    Activate dm in console (admin on server or host in SP/P2P game)

    While NOT inside a POI bounds (out in the street), press F3

    The “Player” panel will show the tile name on the 4th line (can ignore .xyz after name)

     

    HOW DO I FIND A POI IN MY GAME?

    Activate dm in console (admin on server or host in SP/P2P game)
    Press ESC and click on the Open POI Teleporter button

    Search for POI name in the searchfield

    Click on the POI name to teleport to it

     

    WHO/WHAT/WHEN/WHERE/WHY ZOMBIE?

    Activate dm in console (admin on server or host in SP/P2P game)

    Hit NUMPAD 0 (heavy FPS impact, if many zombies on screen)

    You will now see the zombie’s AI tasks and health

     

    DO BUFFS/DEBUFFS WORK?

    Activate dm in console (admin on server or host in SP/P2P game)

    Hit F3

    Open inventory

    Toggle 2 row 5 option on the left side (Ply)

    This will open a window on the right

    If you cannot move, the search field is active, backspace everything in the search field and hit LMB

    Now you can see active buffs/debuffs and cvars on yourself

    Hold shift to view stats of your current target

    Freeze AI

    With dm enabled as host hit NUMPAD *

    This allows for easier buff or damage tests
