PircBarb Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'm not sure where to post this question but this just started the other day. I'm running Alpha 19 and have been with no issues. The other day when I exited 7dtd, on close it shut my wifi off. The only way to restart it was to reboot. This doesn't happen with any other application or game that I've found. I can use all other programs, browsers, apps etc withour any issues. It did it again yesterday. So if anyone has any ideas or help on why the game shuts off my wifi (I'm guessing it's the adapter?) I'd appreciate the help. The game is up to date as is all my updates on my pc. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas how to fix? I apologize in advance if I posted this in the wrong area.

Fox Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Is the wifi part of the motherboard, a PCI-E adapter or an external USB adapter? Have you checked the Windows Event Viewer for errors relating to your wifi yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PircBarb Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 It's not an external USB adapter. I don't see any wifi errors or warnings in event viewer. There is a steam client service listed under warning. Some scattered steam notice warnings - different files - these are start in Oct through Dec. But this problem with the wifi just started and has happened the last 2 times I played. Those warning could be sometimes I get a pop up within steam about map or location but that's happened since the beginning of my playing 7dtd for several years now. I just don't see anything about wifi. Clearly something weird happened. I went and read some help suggestions and I have gone into my virus protection and created an exclusion. I'll try this tomorrow and see if it happens again. - If you have any other suggestions, I'm open to try. Thanks, Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylenThunder Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Windows 10 will do this when you have pending updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PircBarb Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 ok, that might be it then because there was a pending update. I'll check and make sure there is none and let you know. Hey thanks to all. I hope this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PircBarb Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 ok well the updates finished and between that and the other hint - it fixed it. Thank you so much. I went in through steam and not launcher this time. I will try launcher another time since this worked and I'm ok going in through steam. Thanks again for all your help.
