[What if we had... 7 days of ray tracing?]

I mean the game already runs badly with BASIC rasterization, I doubt they know how to do ray tracing.

[AMD FSR & NVIDIA Reflex]

Not sure about Reflex, but faatal stated in November that there are issues with motion blur with FSR that require making changes to rendering and shadows that they haven't tried yet as they are working on other issues right now.

 

Who de fack like motion blur, just remove that option ingame and add fsr with frame generation.

 

pffft motion blur

 

[Is the hype for a new alpha dead?]

Yea, because it's Alpha... I'll get excited when it's beta and get my frames back.

Also they literally said they're adding significant ambient occlusion, which is pretty important.

 

I really hope so,  I usually stop playing around tier 5 quests, the frame rate makes my eyes bleed or I just stay away from cities a roll with tier 4s.

 

*fingers crossed*

[Alpha 22 Fan Diary]

In Alpha 22 are we stuck getting 35 fps on a rtx 4090 doing a city highrise quests because DEVs will not touch any optimisation away from CPU to GPU and it's GPU features because "It's alpha !" ?

 

 

 

 

[What is some cut content you missed]

Glass Jars.

[Walls I built keep disappearing.]

That's usually caused by having part of your base within the boundaries of a POI.  When the POI resets, it will clear anything you have built within its boundaries.

 

 I was about to say that.  Especially if you pick a POI as a base, the neighboring POIs you or others quest at may clear any built structures like traps or walls that may be too close to them.

[Will 7 Days implement FSR 3.0?]

DEVS really do not need to do much since FSR 3 is available in the Unity "store" and the open source MOD already floating around...

 

[Zombies attacking power lines/components?]

I dunno how you are feeding the power lines to your horde base, maybe run the line 2 blocks under the ground instead on poles / pillars so there's no obstruction above ground ?

 

[So many cooking books after latest update?]

I admit it needs more tweaking with the magazine stuff.  But you can also sell the extra magazines if you play on a multiplayer server to other players or give them out to new players ?

 

[Whack "Die!" Whack "Die!" Z falls. Finally. Z stands up]

Zombie squirrels would just be ... nuts.

[Why does the tactical assault rifle look so hideous?]

Since when game developers know how to design real life guns ?  Maybe in a combat simulator ... even then the gun are off and the loading animations are often off.  I often laugh at Starfield guns to be the worse with the case ejection are completely backwards and left handed guns ...

 

[Whack "Die!" Whack "Die!" Z falls. Finally. Z stands up]

You're complaining about not killing a Zombie in two hits, zombies that can borrow through 1 meter of steel walls in a pinch ?

*tsk* *tsk*

 

/sarcasm off

 

[Do y’all name your Zombies?]

The two blonde zombies I named Kurt (Cobain) and Courtney (Love)... I offered Kurt to borrow my pistol to unalive himself again, but he has none of that ! 

 

The crawling torso I named Steve

 

That's about it.

 

[A game like 7dtd but with DayZ graphics]

HumanitZ or Project Zomboid, they are top down not 1st person... maybe give those a try.  As updates takes months here, I don't blame people trying other things for a bit - it only takes my friend and me 2 weeks on a hard server before we are bored, and play something else until a new 7dtd build or the server resets.

 

 

[Can I offer code to improve runtime?]

*sarcasm MODE on*

 

How dare you provide free code to improve performance in a forever Alpha game, I enjoy 35 FPS in cities and 25 FPS during massive horde nights on my awesome gaming rig that run Cyberpunk 2077 at 100 FPS with Ray Tracing on !!!

 

*sarcasm MODE off*

[Honey and Anti biotic nerf]

I want the infection to be worse a fast, and you die to rise up as a zombie with your loot.

 

Anyone that dies to infection, starvation and thirst needs to play something else; honestly these "survival" elements are really tame now unlike the single digit alphas ...

 

[Adding FSR 2/3 ?]

Considering AMD's FSR 3 works on 5700 XT / RTX 20000 series GPU cards and up and it's not an exclusive feature like DLSS;  would the DEVs writing the engine code to this game consider implementing it in the near future ?  Not expecting all the GPU bells and whistles but FSR 3 a nice pass for an image/performance boost.

 

 

[Water scarcity is game breaking]

Still a few ways to get water, even if you don't use Traders.  Later on you can get lucky and get a water filter for head gear and just use "E" to drink water form a pond or lake - with your bare hands, just have to have a blank slot and not holding anything.

 

As for dew collectors, I only used 1

 

*shrug*

[Starfield is making 7D2D look great]

Don't you like starfields loop mechanics ?  Fast Travel quest, Fast travel gather resources and fast travel fight !!

 

I think people just "starved" for any Bethesda game ...

 

[DLSS Support for in-game menu]

That's good to hear.  Since FSR 2.0 is well established and it's upscaling with sharpness, it would be a great addition to 7 days to die.  And this is compatible with nvidia and AMD cards.  As for up coming FSR 3, it would be quick and easy to update and get some frame generations.  Exclusive DLSS is a bit to work with and excludes AMD cards.

 

[DLSS Support for in-game menu]

You can do it in Nvidia's Control Panel just add a Program profile for 7 days to die and set the Image Scaling.  Disadvantage it's not deep learning just a simple upscaling.

 

If TFP added to the game as true DLSS 2.0 or the new 3.5 and maybe FSR2 or the new FSR 3.  That would be a huge FPS increase.

 

[Character Creation]

TFPs can we get another pass on character creation, I mean many of the zombies appearances are looking better than our characters at this moment ?  A bit more detail, less stiffness and a redo on hair and face types etc ?  Don't be like ARK developers where they add a map and more tech and leave the character creation since version 1.0 ....

 

[Thoughts on Alpha 21]

Not my favourite update with the Magazines, it has the same issue where you get the gear before you get the knowledge to craft it IMO.

 

The other additions like new textures and POIs are cool.

 

And stealth is still pointless on quested POIs.

[a21.1 b6 cloth cost increase]

I think they doubled the amount of cloth to every cloth crafting thing ?  I tried crafting early game padded armour and holy chris* the amount of cloth needed for tier 3 padded armour set... I think I picked a football field of cotton for it ....
