@SylenThunder I tried the exceptions to the AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie but didn't work. I will work on the revocation certificate. But Also, Here's some small sections of the output log where i saw fails or errors after it gets to the menu where it fails to connect via EOS. ONE THING IS EOS SAYING NOT JSON/error from backend?? These might be insightful to more skilled eyes: (i had to redact some heading numbers on each line so forum didn't think was spam) INF GameSense server not found (no props file), disabling INF [PartyQuests] Initialized INF Awake done in 714 ms INF [XUi] Instantiating XUi from default prefab.

@Beelzybub thanks, but this did not work either :x I added exclusions for: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die && C:\Users ; because i don't have a Userdata folder I can find so I assumed that's an equivalent? Out of the group i play with i think i'm the only one that has a history going back years of having an Epic Account && a Steam account. Maybe their name encoding match communication they use to handle exclusively steam users aren't matching up. When i ran EOS as admin it output some command line and said something about names not matching their template? I also tried detaching my steam account but that had no effect either so i retied it @SylenThunder Do you know if there's anything else I can try?

*It may be a Steam <--> EOS issue with naming or formatting? I also cannot connect to EOS when i launch the epic launcher to try to connect and finish installing it. For some reason my computer is now unable to use EOS. I have a screen cap saved of what the CMD output says if i run EOS as admin and it says something like: Logs dir contains a file {EpicOnlineServicesHost.err.log} that does not match our naming template! does that for .err.log, .out.log. , .wrapper.log

I have now tried at least THIRTEEN FIXES and none of them work what so ever. This is getting insane, epic online services need to sort their @%$# out becuase i'm done doint their job for them. spent a full 40 hours working on this bug following guides. Here's what I've tried and STILL UNABLE TO CONNECT: 1) Disable Firewall Completely 2) Disable IPv6 while IPv4 enabled, and the opposite next 3) Change IPv4 DNS Server address to 8.8.8.8 , 8.8.4.4 4) Reinstall 7D2D, Steam, Epic Launcher and EOS, EVEN MY ENTIRE WINDOWS OS 5) FLUSH DNS 6) Change network from public to private 7) Create inbound rule through firewall to open specified ports for forwarding 8.) Verify Integrity of game files 9) Verify no proxy server enabled 10) Unplugging/Resetting Modem 11) Graphics Cards Up to Date 12) Ensure Local Clock Synched ......like what else is there to even try at this point. completely destroyed this game for me and created so far 4 weeks of wasted evenings doing their job for them. Absolute insanity...
