Pffftt!!!!!! end of may here we are!!!!! the game is so dead right now, it is not funny. i can't wait to die of boredom for A22. coming SOON. maybe in 1.5 - 2 years. at this rate we will be LUCKY to see A21 by the end of july.

Ready to pull the trigger lol. I think it is on a gun. might just be potatoes.

You Sir just CURSED US aLL!!!!

Calm down, History shows this is nothing to get your hopes up about when it comes to a release. If they say " it's done when it's done" Count on 6-9 Months minimum. IF they say SOON. could be 12 months or more. I only hope future generations can continue to try finish the game.

WOW! STILL NOT EVEN A WORD ON A21? This will be longer then alpha 16.4. 2023 just means they have till x mas. I wouldn't be surprised if A21 cones out in 2024. I thought TFP had a team now? you all working 1 day a week like the old twitter? Well at least with TFP we all expect things to take years between major patches now, A22 in 2026 or 2027. Here's a Nickle, It's from Canada. Not worth much now days. Just like the Word of the TFP's. That's my rant see you guys in a few months.

The maximum ram you will need is about 16Gb ram. 32Gb is overkill unless you plan on running multiple servers and maps larger then 8K. The connection you have is gonna help alot. i found 7dtd needs a fast network if you want to do more intense stuff like mega zombies. 4 cores helps a lot but 2 will do for a basic server. HDD is ok but ssd or as i do it NVME is best. also depends if your running linux or windows. 16 - 20 players if the best you can expect with minimal lag for everyone, with the highest pinging player dragging the entire server down. if you do 8 players as recommended, any set up will do. IF you want above 20+ players that network speed is whats gonna help a lot. keeping in mind your home network and all devices are gonna cause issues the more that are connected. From my personal experience over the years, 7 days to die will punish everything you use a lot the more players that connect at the same time. a high speed cpu in the 4.0 -5.0 ghz range helps when used with NVME and a 1 GBPS network. DDR 3 ram is fine but like in everything newer is better. I can only speak from what i have done myself over the last 8 years, and i am obsessed with high quality and high speed. so, if you have 8GB ram a hdd and that 1 gbps network, you will run just fine. just restart the server often every 4-8 hours making sure you manually save it before each restart. just keep in mind the more players that you want to host the more power you will need in terms of hosting specs. I have seen 7dtd use as much as 65% cou on a ryzen 5800X and anywhere from 8-25Gb ram and at least 2-5 MBPS of network. (1 GBPS network) this is with 200+ zombies and a 8k map with 25 players connected at the same time. there is lag yes but it is minimal if your host can handle that type of load. however at this point, finding players could be difficult right now. This is my opinion and i am sure others will chime in soon, and call this all hog wash lol.

I have a few suggestions, Mainly your gonna need skills on Linux OR pay for windows server 2019 or 2022. I can help with the set up etc, I can recommend Data Centres i have used in the past. You can PM me and i can go over details as needed. Costs will be higher then what your used to. Otherwise i am currently using gameservers.com

Thank you, i knew i was missing something. working great now.

Just need some help figuring out why i can not start a server up. Been awhile since i done this and i noticed some changes. here is a log to help. I have no idea what i need to make a new server. i have tried 4 systems and teh result is the same. I figure i need to install something, this is on a fresh copy of windows server.

Is this experimental only? or is this apply for stable patches as well on dedicated server.?

We have wiped this server and sit is now running the new A20.1 Experimental
