Alpha 17 Stable B240 bug reporting thread

[SoulWater42]

Summary: Block's final payoff doesn't trigger when mining with exact damage to the block's final health.

Version: B240

Platform: PC

OS/Version: Windows 10

Game mode: SP - RWG

 

Did you wipe old saves? Yes

Status: NEW

 

Bug Description:

 

When mining stone with a tool that does exactly the proper increments that would add up to the block's final health, the final "payoff" doesn't trigger.

 

Reproduce steps:

 

1) Acquire a pickaxe that does exactly 100 damage and mine a stone block to destruction. You don't get the payoff.

2) Use any other incremental damage that would cause a 500 health block (stone) to do more than 500 damage (even 501) and the payoff is given to the player.

 

Actual result: Exact block damage doesn't give the final resource payoffs.

 

Expected result: Receiving final resource payoffs at the block's destruction.

 

(Exactly 100 damage, then the final payoff)

Summary: Upgrading a pre-fab house results in FPS dropping very low

Version: A17 B240

Platform: (PC or Mac): PC

OS/Version: Windows/Linux/mac: Windows 8 version 6.3

Game mode, mp host/mp client/sp /client on dedi (RWG or NAV) - Dedicated Server - Navezgane - 6144 map size

 

Did you wipe old saves? (yes/No) Yes

Did you start a new game? (Yes/No) Yes

Did you validate your files? (Yes/No) Yes

Are you using any mods? (yes/No) No

EAC on or off ? EAC ON

 

Status: NEW

 

Bug Description: Upgraded a pre-fab house at 1048N 1763W and the game FPS drops as low as 1.58 FPS. Upgrades consist of adding frames around the roof to shoot through, adding wood spike traps and upgrading walls to reinforced wood and reinforced flagstone. Once we (two players) move away from the house, the FPS increases. Downgraded from 1920 resolution to 1680x1024 and FPS is still below 2 FPS

 

Reproduce steps: Upgrade the pre-fab house at 1048N 1763W and add spikes

 

1)

2)

3)

 

Actual result: (description of what is occurring) Frames per second rise and fall from 20 FPS to 2 FPS. Blood Moon night on Week four dragged performance down during each zombie spawn. Resetting the server and the clients temporarily fixes the issue but the FPS performance soon drops down to unmanageable levels.

 

System 1

GeForce GTX570

AMD Phenom II x4 965 CPU 3.83 GHz

32GB RAM

 

System 2

ASUS ROG G750JX 32 GB RAM

 

Expected result: (what you expect to occur) A16.4 ran smoothly on both systems at 1920 resolution on week 49 with multiple upgraded pre-fab houses and modified landscapes (all standard 7DTD - no mods, EAC running).

 

Log File: https://pastebin.com/MdBbLzM9

 

Happy to provide more information and take additional steps. At the current rate, the game is unplayable while we are in the current pre-fab house.

 

 

Let me know how I can help.

Game does not save screen resolution - i have to change it everytime I load.

Bug Description: I've had all vehicles disappear on me. It's always after I log back in to the game. It seems random. Sometimes I log in and my vehicle is still there. I've tried only ever owning 1 vehicle and I get the same results. This happens to me and my 2 other friends that play on the MP server.

 

Reproduce steps: its random if my vehicle will still be there or gone.

 

Not sure what this log means - I had the vehicle with this log. The next log does not show any vehicle in it.

Summary: Shift key in console gives weird char

Version: b240

Platform: PC

OS/Version: Linux

Game mode, mp host/mp client/sp /client on dedi (RWG or NAV) SP, RWG or NAV

 

Did you wipe old saves? (yes/No) yes

Did you start a new game? (Yes/No) yes

Did you validate your files? (Yes/No) yes

Are you using any mods? (yes/No) yep

EAC on or off ? OFF

 

Status: NEW

 

Bug Description: bring down the console. Just hit the SHIFT key. You should not see anything, but you do. Kind of looks like a ! but it isn't.

Copy/paste: sg OptionsFieldofViewNew 75 and you get that char at the start, if you type it, you get it before each cap.

The command will not work until you remove the special thingie. Have to click beside it and backspace, then it works.

 

Of course, we don't need to use the capitalization for the command to work. Just an annoyance as I don't recall this happening in A16, but cannot remember if I ever tried. Has been in the last few builds though.

 

No screen shot, should be easily reproducable though.

 

Reproduce steps: F1 hit the shift key. thassit.

Summary: Using items while on bicycles consumes the item but produces no effect.

Version: A17 Release

Platform: PC

OS/Version: Windows

Game mode, mp host/mp client/sp /client on dedi (RWG or NAV): MP Host RWG

Status: New

 

Bug Description: Eating and drinking on bicycles produces no effect (buffs don't get added) but the item is removed. For drinks, the bottle is not added back. If you begin drinking while off the bicycle and then board it before the animation finishes, the buffs are added but the bottle is not returned. I haven't tested it but this bug may exist for other vehicles as well.

 

Reproduce steps: Open inventory while on bike, use item. Or use a drink or canned food then immediately board a bicycle.

 

Expected result: Exactly the same result as using the item when not on the bicycle.

 

Actual result: Item consumed, no buffs added and no items returned.

PS.

During the first experimental versions I remember reading about "fainting" players when respawning after death. Screen goes black and the character drops on the floor and does a rather weird breakdance when said client tries to move. Was there any workaround or solution to this?

Where does it say that having Mods means we can not report bugs or makes them invalid?

[OzHawkeye]

Where does it say that having Mods means we can not report bugs or makes them invalid?

It doesn't, but the use of mods means the report may well be "contaminated" by that mod. So, it's not that your report is not going to get looked at it, but it may well get a lower priority.

 

That said, this thread is supposed to be for bug reports only, so if you have further questions feel free to start a General Discussion thread or PM myself, another moderator, QA tester, etc.

 

Edit: Expanded GD.....

 

If you are using mods we are unable to reproduce the bug, please only report bugs in the vanilla game Twigg

EAC on

 

I have to do more testing to see definitively what causes this bug in a17 b240 but the bug I am experiencing is 3-12 bears spawning inside roughly 7/10 of the houses I go into. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this potential bug, also my game stage is 101 and it's day 45, what makes me think it's a bug is no zombie bears have spawned and bears don't spawn anywhere else but kind of glitchy inside houses. Like I have previously stated I'll do more testing over the next couple weeks to see what I can do to change this (it wasn't always like this when my game stage was low there wasn't bears spawning only in houses and in large numbers, so I'll create a new world and get to this gamestage/day and see if I cant recreate this bug. If anyone else has experienced this I'd appreciate any info on how you fixed it if there is a way, (beyond just turning bear spawning off, and creating a new world)

Summary: Stutter/Screen Tearing/GFX abnormalities since B240

Version: b240

Platform: PC

OS/Version: win 7

Game mode sp

 

Did you wipe old saves? Yes

Did you start a new game? Yes

Did you validate your files? Yes

Are you using any mods? No

EAC on or off ? n/a

 

Status: NEW

 

Bug Description:

 

I get constant screen tearing and gfx abnormalities (colored shapes blinking in and out of existence for few msec) on my new game, just by looking around and moving, since b240 came out. using latest gfx drivers and a new nvidia 2070 card on a win 7 intel machine.

had no issues with the earlier experimental builds, had low fps with my old GTX 660 card, but it was very playable. now with my new card and b240 i get high fps (70-80) on max settings, but rendering is stuttering hard and it gives me a huge headache.

disabling game`s vsync seems to help a lot to reduce the screen tearing, so i tried using the nvidia control panel to force its own vsync, but it didn't had any effect. running without vsync result in GPU work being done for nothing and GPU heating up fast.

It is not a proper bug per-say but i cant play the game under these conditions and read several reports of similar issues on the steam forum so was thinking ill post here as well, hoping u can support me and others with a suggestion or a tip that can help.

 

Reproduce steps: (this prb isnt easily reproduced since it might be HW/OS/drivers dependent)

 

1) set vsync ON in options.

2) make a new game and look around / try to move.

 

Actual result:

- screen tearing is very obvious when using the game`s vsync option.

- even with no vsync, and even when fps >=60, stuttering constantly and GFX abnormalities are noticeable on occasions just by looking around.

- cant use nvidia`s vsync.

 

Expected result: rendering is smooth with game`s vsync (/ external vsync can actually work), especially when HW supports fps >=60 .

 

P.S

im NOT referring to the loading lag when walking to new chunks, im used to that already and that is not my concern here the above happen when standing still and just looking, or when walking in circles in same spot or around an object.

I got this if i use a World created with Old Version of Experimental, and play it with a new version of 7 Days (b240) so in every house was 10-50 zombie bears / bears (depending on count which zombie would normal spawn in, but much higher)

Make a fresh World / Save fixed this. I am now at Day 30 (2h Days) and Level 120 and i did not see any zombie bear or normal bear. Bears are extremly rare. in every experimental. only this "incompatible bug" with older version spawned some in houses. in grass / snowy area of map i never see a bear.

Bug Description: Whenever I launch the game using Steam, the EAC logo shows, fully loads, disappears, 7daystodide.exe process appears in the task manager but nothing else happens, the game itself doesn't launch.

 

Additional info: All A17 versions so far have had the same problem. Alpha 16.4 works flawlessly whenever I roll back to it.

 

 

Are you launching the dedicated server ? Twigg

Nope, launching just the game normally as always (right click, play game). But youre raising a good point, in the past when I was hosting, starting a dedicated server did look pretty similar. Maybe Steam is launching the server instead of the game? But why does it do that only with A17 and not A16.4?

 

EDIT: So I did the research and Steam really launched the dedicated server for some reason. Running the game with the .exe in the game directory launch the game normally.

Bug Description:

Games in general started crashing on me. I don't think it's related in any way to this game but my forumpost asking for help got moved here.

Game crashes after 5-10min. Using ryzen 5, 16Gb ram and Gtx 1060. Any help is welcome, i came here to see if anyone sees a hint in the 7 days to die output log file cause other game crashing games i use don't give an output log file (it seems).

 

Reproduce steps:

Launch anything (Prefab editor, Navezgane maps,...)

After a few minutes in, game just quits to desktop and crashes.

 

This did not happen a few weeks before. Could be a setting i accidentaly changed in Nvidia panel for example ?

Please just tell me if the output log says anything useful. If not, i wish you a good day sirs.

Bug Description: Next to a trader, there is a massive cluster of pine trees. Not only are they grown against each other filling the whole space, but there are actually trees on top of other trees, like nesting dolls. This is causing massive lag in the area, as which normally happens with a thick cluster of trees. The first time I flew underground to get a picture, my game immediately sent me to the main menu screen. I was unable to connect to the server until I shut down my game completely.

You have a modded client, connecting to a modded server. Pretty sure that makes this report invalid. Read the OP again.

 

~Sylen

 

Neither 'mod' affect anything of the sort. they are purely for commands for our admins. and cbsm isn't really a 'mod' as it's not installed. Neither of those have the slightest bit to do with how things spawn into the world. I don't understand why you're being so rude about it. You all asked for reports, so I made a report. If we were getting unknown crashes, then I would understand, but this is GAME GENERATED CONTENT which CPM does NOT affect in the slightest.

 

Just re-read the OP, I don't see anything about not making a report if you are running a mod.

 

 

SylenThunder, Do you even understand what CBSM and CPM do? CBSM is a server manager that does not affect the game at all aside from managing the server and adding some commands for the players to use. It works with the RCON/Telnet side of things of the server and it is not installed. CPM you obviously do not understand the scope of what it does.

[Battleborn]

Latest and greatest PC and water in game still kills it. -sigh- Fluid solver PhysX please; using PPU or GPU (Don't limit it! This way our failures, I mean AMD friends, can enjoy too!). I guess gaussian time solver's and reduced coordinate articulations wont come for another 6 months, Unity only just adopted 3.4.

 

How hard would it be to adopt Unreal Engine 4? The assets are interchangeable, the only thing that is not is the code... But C# Is pretty interchangeable with unreal script!
