Vaeliorin Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Awesome, thanks. Installed and updating! Love the mod launcher, many thanks for all the hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaeliorin Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Okay, something weird is going on. I was playing fine yesterday, and today when I go to start the game...my saves are gone and it wants me to pick a new profile. I tried going directly to the folder and starting from there, rather than the mod launcher, and my save was there...at the start of day 1. I tried restoring one of the backups, since the folder for the world in the "Saves" folder was empty...and still nothing. The thing is, in saves, there are 2 folders that are "The Fun Pimps" and "The_Fun_Pimps". The one with the underscores has the save files in it (well, actually the folders for the world, but there weren't any files in it.) When I copied the save file over to "The Fun Pimps" without the underscores, it didn't ask me to select a profile, but the save game isn't there. I switched to the new launcher yesterday (I ended up having to reinstall the mods, but that wasn't really an issue.) But I lost all my time from yesterday, apparently, and I don't really want to spend another day playing only to have my save files disappear again. Did I screw something up? If so...any idea what?

Kafes Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Hello the mod launcher is allways stuck at "checking for updates..." when I first open the launcher. It goes on for way too long. Perhaps 5-10 minutes. Why is that? (Modlauncher is downloaded from the official website so it should be latest version) Edited February 9, 2022 by Kafes (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was older than a week, try deleting and downloading fresh from http://7d2dmodlauncher.org/ There was a problem with the older installer not working for some people.

It was a couple days ago but I just redownloaded and reextracted it today. I tried giving it admin permissions, disabling avast anti virus and such but it just gets stuck at checking for updates. The anti virus did have a false positive but I created an exception rule so it shouldn't be bothering it. I have no idea what to do. Also the launcher does eventually load after 10-15 minutes but honestly I don't have the patience to wait that long each time. If you need anything like my pc specs or such let me know. Anyway just incase: Windows 10 AMD Ryzen n5 3600 b450 TOMAHAWK MAX NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1070 16 GB ram Also I recently installed 7 days to die freshly. (Don't think that matters for when launching the launcher though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpcstargate Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Good day Sphereii There might be an issue with the launcher and A20 ... This has happened twice now with 2 different mods ... Darkness Falls and Zombiedayz. I get an error and it will go to this screen ...... Zombiedayz did complete ... but could not get DF to finish after 20 minutes, so I exited out and cleaned file. Take Care and Be Safe ... the Old Gamer .. 😌 Edited February 12, 2022 by gpcstargate (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means the other way failed too many times. Looks like you might be having issues with Azure-based mods. Have you tried to see if the new mod launcher has the same issue for you?

Seems to be struggling with that file,as if another process has it open. This is the new mod launcher I was talking about: https://github.com/SphereII/7D2DModLauncher/archive/refs/heads/Windows-Installer.zip It' a complete replacement to your current one, and compatible.

sphereii Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 A bad update got out today, causing the new mod launcher to be stuck in an update loop. The fix is to redownload the zip, and replace the install: https://github.com/SphereII/7D2DModLauncher/archive/refs/heads/Windows-Installer.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftRed Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Nevermind, it continued, I don't remember it taking so long on original install.

Hello, "On downloading and deploying mod..." stage I'm getting IOException: ...........\TempMods\mod is not empty It is not freezing but never moves past this. Thank you I pushed a fix for the IO Exception. I'll try to do some testing on the speed of the copy. It could be slightly slower in some ways. I'm working on ways to make the copy faster, ironically, but it might come at the expensive of a full copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VagabondClown Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) I see that this has been mentioned before, but I didn't see an update or a fix. My husband and I play a game that's saved on his computer. He recently had to reformat his computer, and has since installed the new version of the launcher. We got it up and running and played a while and all was well. The next day, he loaded up the game and the save files were gone. Well, not gone. But the launcher wasn't pointing to them anymore. We finally found it and got all that sorted out, and we were able to play again. Today we wanted to play again, and the same thing happened. He chooses to continue game, and the game list is empty. Each and every time we play, it seems we have to point to our save files all over again. It doesn't keep his player profile either, so each time we go in he has to create a new one. What in the world is going on with this? How do we get the launcher to point to the same place every time? I'm sure there's something we're missing. I just can't figure out what it is. Please help.

The only way we've found to tell it what folder to point to is the "Add Existing Install" button, so once we get it pointed to the right place we click the Play button at the top and start the game from there.

Hmm... If the mod launcher is running, can you close it down? Then, in the ModLauncher's folder, where the modLauncher.exe is at, can you grab the logs.zip and add them to your post? I'll take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
