Ruinedworld

hah... rolling back, and probably breaking your world, or opting into exp beta and probably breaking your world, are not fixes.

If what they are suggesting is that being the host of the game fixes the data backup, then you would only be able to fix your personal file as each player profile is linked to their steam account. Basically if you take your save file from the online saves folder and place it in username/Appdata/roaming/7daysToDie/saves folder (Save file is named something like Nafade County, or Navezgane or could be a custom name) and then launch 7daystodie and hit continue game. The game should be in the game list if done correctly. If a red popup happens that says its missing the data file used when making the world you need to get that from the server also. It will be in data/worlds folder. That goes in /Appdata/roaming/7daysToDie/GeneratedWorlds. If done correctly the game should load up the same character/world from the online game with all the stats and everything. NOTE: I don't know if this fixes it, as I haven't had to do that, but that's how you would load your online game locally. I hope it helps

I believe the Player 3 is just having issues with the occlusion setting under graphics? I had this issue if you turn it off the boxes stop disappearing as you look at them or around them.

I was responding to a comment that said they were able to clear out "their" character save by putting it in a local game. I just basically said if that's true then "hopefully" the profile can be fixed if the devs fix the problem. There is a trick to putting an online save into a local single player game, but I wasn't the one who said they did that. I was able to get one of my players who was locked out of the server back into the server by replacing their .ttp character save with one from before the update. We have all drones put away and that seemingly works to fix being stuck at character loading, I backed up the world files before I updated the server, so if you did that then you can fix the issue as well, they lose a little bit of progress, but its better than loosing it all.

So hopefully that means whenever they fix the problem it should clear out that data backup and fix all the player profiles that are affected. I really hope this happens like... today/tonight. Silence from the devs on such a large bug like this is disheartening. I would have hot patched it immediately if I had a fix... ;)

I am not sure if it needs to be before drones where deployed, but maybe just before the final lockout where they are getting stuck in the login screen. I'm hoping this is a data cleanup issue and that whatever resolution the devs come too will clean out the backed-up data and fix the problem, like a plugged-up drain. Until then my server is basically unplayable right now until its patched out.

Do you keep a save backup of the server? I have been thinking if the players save is corrupt, we might have to revert to the backup and walk them back to that last save.... or remove their save data and give them exp back to where they were, which sucks, but I have a bad feeling the bug is killing player save files.

We are also having this issue on my server, so I had all players empty and pickup drones and put them away. I also removed the drones.dat just in case. That worked for a while and then it happened again, and no one has drones out in the game. Also, one player is completely locked out of the server, and gets stuck at creating character loading screen.

I like your 2nd recipe as well... though trying to pry nitrate out of the players hands and not used for gunpowder would be difficult! haha

Thank you for that, I didn't know that was needed. I updated the file with your change, and gave you credit

Hah... truth, and you can melt glass to make jars, but lack the skills to craft a beaker? hmmmm 🤔

A recipe to extract acid from batteries in the chem station in 7 Days to die Alpha 20. This is my first modlet here. I made this for my server where acid seems to be at an all-time low. Call it bad luck, or an overuse of antacids, but this will give a better use for all those level one batteries! I figured if you have unlocked the ChemStation, which takes some time. Then this shouldn't feel unbalanced. Download here
