canadianbluebeer Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 OK, so I install 16.4 using "download_depot 251570 251576 7468628160220339213", fire the client up, and get this error... Seems fine afterwards, but what the hell? Data\UMATextures\TraderCaitlin_0_d.png is missing a LOT. Known thing. much griping. I keep copies of that around for just that when was reinstalling just normally in 16.4 Happened both under linux and windows, so not depot specific. Yet, sometimes a clean install WOULD get it. a WTH moment indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylenThunder Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Especially since it's an a17 trader that wasn't in a16. This is a completely clean download. It's super weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SylenThunder Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 So, interesting find. If I do a clean download of 16.4 via Steam, there is no error when starting the client from Steam. It starts perfectly normally. If I move the folder, and start the client directly, then I get the same error. Doesn't matter if I use the standard exe, the EAC exe, or the launcher exe file. Will require more investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbluebeer Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 check to see if you got the uma folder. It's really weird. Sometimes you do get it, sometimes not. (which is why I saved the files, for the not times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(which is why I saved the files, for the not times) That's why it's so weird. I did get it and it worked, and all I did was rename the folder it was in, and now it's giving the error. It's really strange. Not a huge issue as the game plays just fine, but it is rather odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really strange. Not a huge issue as the game plays just fine, but it is rather odd. That it is. I just put it down as one of those damned intermittent bugs that are a nightmare to squash, kept a copy of the needed files to use when required, and waited for a fix. Being doing tech support pretty much since there was tech to support, and I absolutely HATE intermittent bugs. This is reproducable though. Sometimes. Sometimes not. a WTF is going on here thing. Rename the entire 7dtd folder, redownload. Maybe you get it, maybe you don't. I wasn't going to keep dl'ing several gig a pop to try and gather stats on it. I get bored, but not THAT bored. Mind you, to be fair, some intermittent bugs are amusing, even if WTF. (like the invisible force fields that pop up from time to time on the server in 17.3/4. Or the mini-bike doing a great imitation of a submarine doing a crash dive.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markezzz Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Fantastic! Just for the access to Classic Horde Mode alone this is an amazing resource! I loved the Horde Mode! And i miss it so much in the game. Last time i found Gnamod with a new Horde Mode and play it sometimes. But the old Horde Mode was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hey, thanks! I just reset my password so I could login to thank you. I've been a teen in 2013 and always had my fave versions. Thanks to your posts and detailed information I bought 7D2D finally to be able to download older versions that ran well on my Pentium potato pc. Much appreciated again.

Gamida Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I know this is an old thread but was wondering if these old versions could be set up as a server too. Just watched a streamer play v10.4 and he had tried earlier versions but couldn't get them to start with out null reference errors.. .Would love to set up say a v 5.0 server for kicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meganoth Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 right-click 7D2D in steam, select properties, then "betas", there is your drop-down menue. You probably should then start the game launcher, select the tools tab and clear your settings. Do this whenever you change the major version number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
