Alpha 17 Stable B240 bug reporting thread

[The Fun Pimp]

We don’t want incompatibility bugs with previous builds so please remember to start a new game with each experimental update.

 

 

Hey Survivalist,

We’ve just released Alpha 17 Stable B240 and could really use your help finding the last remaining big issues.

If you’ve played our previous experimental posts see the Known issues below for more info.

 

Cheers Richard

 

A17 Official Release Notes

 

 

 

As always TFP is interested in all constructive criticism and feedback, but what we're really looking for in this thread are the following:

• Show stopping game play bugs (Hopefully with reproduction steps)
  
• Crashes (Try and get reproduction steps and post your output_log.txt files - usually found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\7 Days To Die\7DaysToDie_Data\output_log.txt - directly in your forum post. Note: You will find all output_logs time stamped there, even from old games. You can also attach your zipped up crash dump file too.)
  
• Chunk Generation Bugs. People please give us the coordinates of where they were in the world when they run into a chunk generation error plus the game seed. Copy and pasting the error alone and the output log is not sufficient to help with a fix.
  

Additionally, you can post balance and feedback in the current Dev diary.

We don’t want incompatibility bugs with previous builds so please remember to start a new game with each experimental update.

Congratulations!

Is it possible to put a normal game on the server in order not to reset the world?

 

The list of changes is equal to the experimental version 240?

 

A17 b240 EXP is identical to the stable. Enjoy guys !

Is it possible to put a normal game on the server in order not to reset the world, if new updates be announced??

Not sure if it's just visual in the random gen previewer or if the world indeed is generated like this.

When going into the menu and back in the generator with the same seed, the radiated zone is not shown and the biomes are correct as before.

[Cliffy]

[Ayrton]

For the love of God, tell me that this is not the stable version, download this version again and in all randomly generated maps have the same horrible error, please give priority to this, it is what most enjoy the game!

 

 

I think these problems are very serious please put it as the first 17 alpha !, please! please!

[Doctor3D]

I didn't think they were going to do any major work on RWG in A17. Unless I'm mistaken, I think I heard RWG will be addressed later on. Otherwise, if they were going to do any patchwork on RWG - I would assume they wouldn't call it stable since changes to it has historically broken the player's map.

[EvalleEez]

Do we restart our dedicated servers or can we keep playing on the current build we started yesterday when 240 dropped?

 

Noticed when I logged in today all my game files were reset and I had to do my starter quests over and I was level 10 when I logged off yesterday. Everyone on our server had that issue, it wasn't just me.

Idk where you heard that but it sure as hell was not from Kinyajuu who is the one in charge of RWG.
