[The Lighting Is Vomit Inducing]

It's more of environmental lighting, as in it darkens when you enter a room with no lights/windows and gradually lightens up when you leave there and go past windows, or if it's raining outside then it'll darken near windows. I'm not sure if they're doing eye adaptation. It may jump around everywhere atm but that's all being working on, it does provide some really nice environments and nicely-done dark areas, just need some polishing yet.

 

Do increase the opacity to help with that. That is also a known issue by the way, we're redoing the UI as a whole

 That's what I have mine set to.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks friend.  Would be nice to have it 100% non-transparent, my eyesight is god awful lol.

The text that is legible in that image is very painful to read. Can't for the life of me figure out what 4 of the distances say or read the tier for options 3 and 4.

 

I can't read any of the text in the brackets [] or () lol.

Found this in the Work in Progress section of the bug forum while browsing through it:

Q&A reply on comments tab for the report:

 

 

So it looks to me like it is something they have in the queue to deal with in a later Alpha. Doesn't help us right now, but at least they're planning on doing something about the issue.

 

Good to see.  I can barely read the pop up in Trader Joes because it looks like I have a flashlight on when I don't

You sure about that? Every "major" update breaks most if not all the mods out there (a lot of which don't get updated). As the game ages, less and less mods are likely to get re-made or updated. At some point, someone might have to create a "Feed the Beast / Curseforge" software that allows players to play modpacks designed for older versions of 7D2D like they did with Minecraft.

 

The devs here "in my opinion" have slowed down way too much with the updates and is now at the point where it's just becoming a bit annoying, especially when they can't seem to ever make up their minds about any of it.

 

Do you remember how great the first release felt from Kickstarter? Back when it was pre-steam and you had to enter a license key in-game.  I dream of that release.  I love the new Alphas, but something but the very early ones felt so great and you're right.  I'm a little fed up of having to start a new world every. single. time. a new update releases.

 

[Thoughts of Vanilla/default settings of A21 from a veteran player]

I'll keep this short.

 

I made a custom 8k world and started a new game.

 

Got wrecked by a boar in a corn field in 5min after start.

 

Acknowledged the A21 @%$# slap and approached the game with a fair bit of caution there after.

 

I have been having more fun than I have in years.

 

The challenge is good, but not too hard. The progression is slower, but unlocking crafting is oh so satisfying. I think TFP gamified the dopamine hits in a really great way.

 

All in all, the pace of vanilla feels great. Previously I was bored in a few hours.

 

How does everyone feel about Vanilla settings compared to previous builds?

 

I (was) loving it.  It's been great, my only gripe with A21 at all is the lighting.  Otherwise it feels really polished in comparison to previous alphas, which I guess is the point but I have no real complaints which is nice.  Feels closer to beta by the day, ha.

What's funny I (and others) complained about the same issue in A19 experimental (idk about A20, as I didn't join experimental of it). One would think that they shouldn't repeat the same mistake all over again.

 

It was one of the reasons I dropped out of A19 experimental and I've just had to drop out of A21 experimental because of too.  It's looking great, but as soon as you walk indoors is unplayable in some places.

I completely agree. IMO this game gets boring fast if you do single player.

I don’t know if this is true, I just started playing again and I’m enjoying single player more than co-op.  But thats just my opinion.

Thanks guys,  I was planning to increase the RAM either way was just undecided on 16 or 32,

This has literally zero multithreading support. It will perform extremely poorly for 7 Days. Literally the only Pro for getting this chip is that it's dirt cheap.

 

You would be better of tossing an extra $50 into the pot and getting an R5 3400G. It will lag a little on single-core operations, but supports multithreading quite well. As long as you aren't doing video editing, or something like playing Ark, it should be a good choice for a budget chip.

 

16GB RAM is fine, though with Window bloat and other application bloat these days 32GB is more desirable. Especially if you will be wanting to run mods like Darkness Falls.

 

Would you say Intel® Core™ Processor i5-10400F would be any better?

Hey Guys, 

 

Sorry if this is the wrong section to post in,  I've been out of the 7 Days to Die community for a few years now. (Thinking, like 2016 at this rate)

 

I'm looking to get a new PC so I can start playing 7D2D again, but I've been out of PCs for a while now as well (2017) as I moved over to macOS full time.  I've had a look at the specs for the game on the steam page for what they are now, and was just wondering if you guys had any thoughts on if this PC would be able to run the game OK?

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Processor, Quad Core 3.6GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB GDDR5

Storage: 1TB HDD (Games) + 256 SSD (OS)

RAM: 8GB [will be going up to 16GB or 32GB after a few weeks, haven't decided yet which is why it's being built with 8]

 

I don't know if I'll want to play anything else, but I'm building it specifically for 7 Days to Die so don't really care if it can run things like Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War, Battlefield etc.

 

Thanks and sorry again if not the right section!
