Supgee Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hi - been a player for a long time since like Alpha 13 - been excited for Alpha 19. Just downloaded it and went to play. When I try and locate the trader it just says 0.0 meters. The new little HUD shows (1.3km for example) but when I arrive at the location there is nothing... I tried loading another map - same deal. Am I the only one having this problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmer Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I would validate your files. I have played a view RWG and had no problem find the trader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crater Creator Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 What map are you on? Old maps have had this problem, but it shouldn't happen for maps made for A19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacque Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Verified game files, deleted all older maps. Is there a way to fix this as of yet? Doing all of the starting quests only to find your trader 2.5 or 3.5Km a way, and then finding it not there is a big problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElCabong Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I had the same problem too. I changed to a different map. the map I used where I couldn't find the traitor was North Quinive mountains. I am not spelling that right but I think you should know what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydious Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I have had no issues with this but I also did a full PC wipe and re-install of windows and everything Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a dedicated 7day2Die Fan to do a full system wipe in prep. For A19. 😅 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just moved and went from 1.5 meg internet to 100 meg internet and have been taking advantage of 2 minute downloads vs. 2 day downloads lol. But yeah I'm a fan.

MrJim Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I've had exactly the same problem in a random gen map. Spawn in, trader distance in top right corner says 0.0km, but the yellow exclamation mark says 3km. Follow the marker, but no trader has spawned at the location.

Kosmic Kerman Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) In the dev thread multiple people were posting problems and in most cases they had not removed mods and/or had not started a new map. I would wipe the saves folder and generated worlds folder, delete all mods, and verify the cache through steam or reinstall. I have generated two RWG maps and have not had any trouble finding the trader on both maps.

For what it is worth, the map "name" you see is dynamically generated and next to meaningless. It is possible - though I expect extremely unlikely - for two seeds to end up with the same map name even though they have different RWG layouts. Only the seed + map size really matter as far as RWG goes. My first RWG map had a trader in the expected location. I renamed my 7D2D game install folder and my save game folder before switching to "Latest Experimental" in Steam, causing it to download the entire game fresh. This ensures all mods are well and truly gone, something which "verify game files" doesn't do. Of course reinstalling Windows is also a way to ensure the game is installed fresh. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My output log: https://pastebin.com/j3j18ucv You still have a mod called "Hal's Run and Gun", I assume from a previous alpha? More I couldn't find out as that logfile isn't complete.

And then, when creating a new world, change the game name (i.e. not "My Game" again) and fill in some word as game seed when starting a new world, don't use the empty string. You can even use the same string for game name and game seed Edited June 30, 2020 by meganoth (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nahab Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 It happened to me in Pedalu County map also. I quit and made a new game in Pedalu County and same problem. I cheated for an auger and dug down and found the annoying "You are hitting my property" noise so maybe it's spawning under the mountain? I didn't take the time to try and excavate the entire area to confirm that though. The xyz was approx 4, 51, 2. I have re-verified everything and have no mods but I didn't clear the saved game folder in case I decide to revert. I guess the next step is to back that up and try again without it but I'll try a couple other new maps first to see if I have the same problem in them. Did any of you with this problem notice a bunch of these errors in your logs? 447.841 WRN Could not load prefab 'settlement_trader_04'. Skipping it 447.841 ERR Prefab loading failed.

Nahab Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Weird. I deleted everything there now and used the launcher to clear all old settings, etc and I can still choose pedalu county as a map option for a new game and I still get the same underground/missing trader at that location. I load navezgane and it works fine though. ETA. I tried Hazeja Mountains and Dipigo Valley and got the same underground/missing trader issue. I verified that there were no files in the roaming/7daystodie folder before launching and started a new game from that map option. I still see Pedalu County as well. Navezgane and the 2 different random gen seeds work fine. Which map options should we see at this stage?

Oddly enough, when starting a RWG map previously, I hadn't noticed that the game didn't go through the usual generation sequence - it just loaded up! Possibly using one of the RWG maps I'd used in A18. The mod doesn't seem to have any impact, which is fortunate, as I'm physically disabled & can't easily play the game without it.

ppnl Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I had the same problem with no trader. Deleted stuff in generated worlds and saved games and it worked. But later I started a new game and the problem reappeared. This is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damocles Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 There are two issues floating around: -using an old A18 map -using a new A19, but the UI code has a bug not pointing at the trader You might very well have a trader on your map, but the games UI does not point at it.

Ld-airgrafix Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Started a test game, nothing wrong, trader found. My kids wanted to play so I deleted all saved games, began a new game and trader never appears, no matter what I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingerwolf Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I'm having the same problem with the initial quest but it displays slightly differently - it just says "Locate Trader NO TRADER". I started a Zuhehi territory map - is that an issue? Also, it's Day 34, I'm lvl 17 and I have to come across a single Wrench. Not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
