Hi @ThumpieBunnyEve, The Linux dedicated server is not an app that you can use by pressing "play". In order to use the Linux Dedicated Server, you would need to switch to desktop mode, and configure your dedicated server through the text files and launch through command line. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=german&id=360404397 Because the steam deck desktop isn't designed to be used as a regular linux distribution, you may need to do some things like set a password for root, and possibly create a new user with appropriate permissions set. On the instructions above, you should be able to skip to step 5 because there is a gui. I wouldn't recommend running a linux dedicated server from a steam deck. We haven't tested the capabilities of the hardware, while theoretically possible, the nature of a battery operated dedicated server and the slower networking speed may not be an ideal candidate. I did find a youtube video detailing the process of turning the steam deck into a home server... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Aey0YFYjbQ Hopefully this helps. -Cheebsco

Are you on an old savegame? Or is this a new savegame?

I think the Beelzybub is correct, the hardware does not meet minimum specs. 512mb is insufficient VRAM. You may be able to use your hardware with a third party game streaming service if your internet connection is good enough.

I addressed this earlier, but I can go into more details as it may have been overlooked or not understood. You may or may not have noticed that this patch has opened up different platforms that 7 Days To Die is available on. Because these different platforms have different rules, or different ways of communicating, The Fun Pimps had to accommodate this progress by changing things. Before Steam, 7 Days To Die only had to communicate with the master server. During Alpha 5, a lot of networking changes had to accommodate Steam as a platform, and opened up Steam Integration, achievements as well. More Recently, in Alpha 19 & Alpha 20, Twitch support has been added, EOS networking, and EOS-EAC support has been added as well. This has opened up the Microsoft Store & XBL Gamepass. As far as other future platform support, the recent twitter posts allude to more work happening in the future that will also require changes through progress in development. What does this mean? This means that we can't browse all the 7 days to die servers at once. We have to put them into categories. This also means that some file folders are not allowed to have custom content. This means the the voice chat system no longer works in proximity, it has to work with your party members. When I read about how "TFP is against mods because they moved the folder" I can't believe how far from the truth it is. When I see TFP moved the mod folder, I know they weren't allowed to have mods somewhere... so they found a place they were allowed and made it work. All of these concerns are worth discussing, and communicating. There are alot of opinions that are expressed not based on anything but assumptions, and in those cases I can't say anything other than that. In regards to communication, it's subjective whether you are aware of the context or not. However, when communicating with others to gain or convey information, it's ultimately your choice on how any of that information is presented or conveyed. I don't see any elitist or condescending attitudes when people address toxic behaviors. There simply isn't an excuse for toxic behaviors for any reason. While you can defend an over dramatic comment making mountains out of molehills, there is a gaslighting comment added with questions of intelligence with the people that call this out. I don't think anyone of any intelligence level should be talked to rudely. Gaslighting isn't excusable anywhere. I have also been observing people responding in an attempt to deescalate the frustration that can often accompany change. I see many different people trying different approaches based on how they learned to de-escalate these situations. I don't expect anyone here to be a negotiations expert, but I have appreciated when I have found myself heated from frustration... for someone to make light of it sometimes. I think its safe to say that we are all part of the same community that enjoys the work of both The Fun Pimps, and appreciates the labours of love the modding community puts in as well. For those that have been around to experience the growth of this community, the developers do go through these forums. They interact and listen to the feedback. They address issues as they come up, as long as everyone can play on the same team, and have been responsible for 1000's of hours of entertainment for many of us.

One thing I would try, try using the 7 days to die launcher. Make sure EAC is unchecked. Try running it that way. Let us know if theres any difference. You can also try cleaning game data. Without any logs to go on, its just some random trouble shooting steps. There is a folder called "EasyAntiCheat" and you may need to run the uninstall_eac & then the install_eac bat With a BSOD, there could be another underlying issue hardware side that is being triggered by launching 7 days to die, it might be worth trying a few other games as well to see if it occurs anywhere else.

Okay.

Okay.

Do you have a larger version of the image? I can't see what its saying in the thumbnail. Also, if you can review this post It should help highlight additional information that will help us find a solution.

@pApA^LeGBa You may or may not be aware, but this update expanded platform availabilities. With that being recognized, in order for these other platforms to communicate some things had to change. Something I would recommend to help identify your previous servers that you used to play on, there are a few methods to find their IP's. One, is to load your previous Alpha (A20 for example) through selecting the "beta's" tab in steam game properties and navigating through the IP's on your favourites list that way. Two, is through going through your previous output logs and searching previous connections to servers that you joined. Three, is opening the 7 days to die launcher, selecting the "Tools" tab, then "Open savegame folder". From the folder that opens up, select "SavesLocal" and then go through the folders to view the "hosts.txt" file contained within. This will list ips and ports for previously played servers. Hopefully that helps

@Biglittle I ran a few tests, and found the EOS networking in some cases could double your ping. On a Server that was on the other side of the county, I normally had 70 ping. The Server Browser reported 370 ping... in game it averaged 140- 160 ping while EOS networking was utilized. When you launch 7 days to die with the launcher, there is a text box at the bottom of "Game Start Options" that is labeled: "Additional parameters:" type in: -noeosnetworking That may help

Well, considering that it still works in the old place... and know it opens up more support on other platforms... I can see why people may be thinking that it's a bit over dramatic.

The Fun Pimps have previous versions of 7 Days To Die available on steam through selecting "betas" tab. Any previous version that has the content you purchased is still available to play exactly the way you wanted to. As the progress of the game continues to expand in development for expanding across more platforms, some things have to change to make it work. Your feedback is always appreciated, however The Fun Pimps have been generating updates regularly based on many people's initial investments. I've played since A1.1a, and am thankful that they decided to support the modding community and even went so far as to unobfuscate their code, which really opened up potential for community as a whole. It's just my perspective, I would rather have new content for free, than purchase each new patch as DLC. Any bugs that you find are also welcome to be reported on the forums, as they seem to continue to fix them with each update.

If you didn't backup your serverconfig.xml before updating, you can get your server settings from the last output log it generated.

I am unable to reproduce this issue. Have you had this problem persist on A20.2?

I cannot reproduce. I have run linux dedicated server A20, A20.1 and A20.2 without a problem. The blocks are new in a20, and it sounds like you may have some incompatible prefabs. Instructions to convert A19 POI's to A20: Start game At main menu, press F1 type command: prefabupdater loadtable Press enter. It will spit some text. Then type: prefabupdater updateblocks It will run for a few seconds. Hit ESC to close console Play game. (edited) 2
