Alpha 17.1 B9 Stable bug reporting thread

[The Fun Pimp]

Hey Survivalist,

We’ve just released Alpha 17.1 B9 Stable.

Alpha 17.1 B9 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.
  

 

 

Here's how to opt in and play the latest experimental branch.

 

Open your steam client.

1. Click on Games/View Games Library

2. Right click ‘7 Days to Die’ and select properties

3. From the new popup dialogue box select the ‘BETAS’ Tab

4. Under ‘Select the beta you would like to opt into’ latest_experimental

 

The game will then update and download the latest experimental build Alpha 17 Experimental

 

Switching back to the latest main stable build is as easy as repeating steps 1-4 and on step 4 choose the option ‘None – Opt out of all Beta Programs’ and you’ll revert to the latest stable build.

 

Cheers Richard

A 17.2 is coming 17.1 is better than 17

[PurgatoryWolf]

Does this require a map wipe? I assume if we don't wipe, bug reports won't be valid?

 

(We are running 17 b240 - updating to 17.1 b9)

[icehot]

A 17.2 is coming 17.1 is better than 17

 

Honestly, this is correct, I wondered the same thing, but 17.1 is way better than 17.0 so why not make it stable?

Just a quick Note:

OK ..A 17.1 Stable b9 .. Not so stable … (Did not start a New game from A17.0 B240 Stable)

 

1 .. My .. Traders Gate .. is LOCKED and I had to jump the fence to get in, SO I could finish a quest Line …. Middle of the Day about 12:34 on SP

 

2 .. Plus .. Lands claim block was broken and My bed was Gone (This has happened on each update)

[spacepiggio]

It still says above to opt into Latest XP for the Stable Build, bad copy/paste or what. Is A 17.2 going to be the New XP?

[DelStryker]

Do we need to start a new map,...again?

I am having this same issue even after starting a new game save in 17.1. I eat and my food goes up past 100, but my max stamina stays at 99. I ate glass, respawned, and ate but my max stamina still refuses to go past 99. /:

 

Edit: Sorry. New to this forum. Fixed my response to include the quoted posted I meant to respond to.

Summary: Motorcycle (and possible other vehicles) have no sounds when going slowly up steep mountains

Version: 17.1 B9

Platform: PC

OS/Version: Windows 10

Did you wipe old saves? No, but dont think it matters for this issue

Did you start a new game? -

Did you validate your files? Yes

Status: NEW

 

Bug Description:

When going up steep mountains the motorcycle becomes silent which is a bit awkward and I see it as a bug

Known Issues

 

Continued b240 savegames may have problems with food/water levels when a replenishing buff was active when game is continued in A17.1, character’s death restores functionality.

 

I thought I read something about that, oddly enough after eating about 4 times and some amount of traveling, my max stamina started acting correctly in relation to eating.

Summary: Silencer not working on Marksman and AK and any other gun/rifle

Version: 17.1

Platform: (PC)

OS/Version: Windows

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 ? ON

 

Status: Regression :-)

 

Bug Description: Silencer does not silence weapon

 

Reproduce steps: be lvl 300 - skill everything for rifels until MAX, even ninja / steahl => max.

 

Get yourself a lvl6 marksman and AK47 - add decent mods to weapons and a silencer.

Focus / aim Z's and try to "sneak-kill" them - notfice on every shot you'll be 100% visible and make a lot of noise.

=> Silencer does not work as it should

 

 

 

Actual result: Silencer Mod is useless

 

Expected result: Silencer supresses noise effectively

 

Agreed and reported to the devs. Thanks for your report! - Schwanz9000

[Gilthanaz]

This latest version continues to crash after 15min in Mac Mojave OS.

 

A workaround for this problem has been posted, I think I read it yesterday. Shouldn't be too hard to find

Here you go! https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?101758-Found-workaround-for-constant-crashes-on-Mac

 

Edit 2:

Is anyone ever reading the patch notes? This fix is even linked there, as well as comments on the stamina issue which is solved by dying once

Summary: Massive game destroying bug with the Minibike

Platform: PC

OS/Version: Windows

Game mode: Single Player on RWG A17.1

 

Did you wipe old saves? Yes

Did you start a new game? Yes

Did you validate your files? Yes

Are you using any mods? Yes

EAC on or off ? Off Single player

 

Status: NEW

 

Bug Description: Jumped a mountain on a minibike full throttle (holding shift) and landed on side of another hill that was almost vertical. The game then rubber banded me and I saw another minibike about 40 meters up the road just flying by. I tried getting off the mini bike I was on and the game kept rag dolling me while my mini bike just kept going. It would update my position to where my mini bike was while it was driving itself every time I'd rag doll.

 

I exited the game and when I started back up I couldn't move at all and my hot bar was gone. I could still open my inventory but using items did nothing. I then typed dm in console to enable it and flying and god mode did nothing. It was like I WAS the minibike. I opened up my map and tried to teleport away and again nothing. Then I scrapped a jar and ate the glass and nothing again. I tried verifying my files and restarting but it would always do the same. I ended up just deleting the save because I couldn't do anything, no screenshots, output logs. I couldn't even exit the game without alt+F4.

 

It killed my save completely 17.1

 

Also on my map I seen there where TWO minibikes, the one I was at, and one about 100 meters away. Single player game.

 

Reproduce steps: Jump a mountain and land on side of mountain.

 

Press F1 to open the console, then type dbs

This will open a panel in game for you to type the bug in.

once done click ok

there will then be a SCREENSHOTS folder in the main 7 days folder.

 

1) Couldn't do anything while in game.

2) Here is a video that explains it. Just imagine a minibike instead of a skateboard, The minibike was sideways also.

3)

 

Actual result: Game destroying mini bike bug

 

Expected result: Good times...

[EyTschej]

Summary: Graphic card crash when riding motorcycle

 

 

 

Version: Alpha 17.1 (b9)

Platform: PC

OS/Version: Windows

MP game on client

 

Did you wipe old saves? No

Did you start a new game? No

Did you validate your files? No

Are you using any mods? No

EAC on or off ? on

 

Status: NEW

 

Bug Description: Might be related to Alpha 17.1, might be not. I didn't get to craft a motorcycle in 17.0, I just managed to do that now in 17.1. Anyway, my graphic card (AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series) crashed twice while I was riding my motorcycle. Since my graphic card usually doesn't crash and it crashed twice in a short time while I was riding the motorcycle, I believe there is a connection. Luckily, after walking for a few seconds, I had a "flashback" in-game and was back on my motorcycle, which was initially gone after I reloaded the game save. So, at least the vehicle was backed up and it wasn't gone, but the crashing needs to be noted. I didn't have graphic card crashes before.

(edit added comment by QA Tester-unholyjoe)

 

no help without crash logs, game output logs, dxdiag report all if possible

also type of map RWG/Navezgane

 

thanks

 

***************************************

 

There don't seem to be any crash logs and the game output logs show nothing unusual. I can only tell you the Event IDs in the Windows System log, which are 7036 and 4101. Those two events were logged at the time of the crash and event 4101 simply says that the graphic card drivers crashed. I can post the end of the output game log files though, but they really don't show any useful information, I'm afraid:

As you see, the output game log ends logging a few seconds before the crashes. The map was Navezgane btw.
