Par_A Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Hi all. I'm having some technical issues with connecting to an Alpha 20 game server and I wanted to give a quick rundown of my successes and failures in case anyone has encountered similar things or has any thoughts to offer. basic system info: Linix Mint 20.2, kernel 5.11 Intel i9-10900 10 core 64GB RAM AMD Radeon RX 6800 X I upgraded my Steam copy of 7d2d from A19 to A20. I upgraded my Steam copy of 7d2d from A19 to A20. (I kept a backup of my A19 files.) One of our group maintains the 7d2d (and Valheim) server and it has also been upgraded to A20. When I tried to login it got stuck on "Creating player..." and I had to quit 7d2d from Steam. After some searching I found suggestions to clear my player data from the server. It's stored in the Player folder of the save, identified by your Steam-64 ID. For example... 11111111111111111.ttp 11111111111111111.ttp.bak 11111111111111111.ttp.map The .map file can be left alone, but the other two must go/be replaced. Reports of this go back to 2015. The server admin did this for me and I got past the "Creating player..." message. But only the first time, though. This problem keeps happening. Almost every time I try to connect to an A20 server game, even if it's the very first time, I get stuck on "Creating player...". How can there already be player files to delete if it's the first time? This is just one issue in my current journey to play A20 with my friends on our server. Please see also my reports on: A20 multiplayer launch stuck on "Starting game..." andA20 multiplayer "E" key not working and I fall through the ground Any thoughts appreciated,Par Edited December 11, 2021 by Par_A (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzybub Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) As a guess I think A19 saves data and maps were not cleaned from the server and/or client. Edited December 12, 2021 by Beelzybub (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response. I don't think that's the issue in this case. I removed all my maps and player data (they are backed up and saved) and did a fresh download and install of A20. The A20 server was put on a new, fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.04. Best, Par Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your Windows Event viewer to see if there is an entry at the same time your game crashes. Post it here if you find it. If the game has an issue, it may show in the game log. Log is in the game folder, in the 7DaysToDie_Data folder. Upload your game log to pastebin.com and post the link here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casketman Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Well here's mine. Granted, I play WotW but since last week, I haven't been able to get onto my server. Even after removing my player file and also starting a new save. Gets to "Creating Player" and hangs. https://pastebin.com/ACKyPXeW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing, I would use the Game Launcher->Tools tab and check/clean all boxes. Second, try verifying game files......twice or three times. Lastly, reinstall WotW as some of the errors mention missing files/attribute. If you do all of this and you still can't join the server, I'd go to the WotW forum and ask there. Maybe someone else running that mod has run into this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugginator Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Bunch of hard-mods on top of hints that ports aren't properly forwarded and/or a firewall causing an issue; I would check the latter two first. And yeah a lot of mod errors in there as well. On 3/3/2022 at 6:10 PM, Casketman said: Well here's mine. Granted, I play WotW but since last week, I haven't been able to get onto my server.
