7DTD

[demontdrako13]

i dont know if im posting this in the right spot, but I cant play the game without fighting with it to load. it will pop up the fun pimps logo then black screen for several minutes to either load the menue screen or not at all. music plays fine so makes me think its not froze also can move the 7DTD curser around. After closing the game and opening it again to get it to load the main menue it will some times do the same thing when im trying to load into my game. takes bare minimum an hr to load me in b4 i can play. then with my video setting my FPS will go up to 170 to 0.2 or lower for the intire time without me even moving. till it just crashes. never had this much problem on A:19 so Im confident its not my CPU. Further more im running the same Video stats. but even if i wasnt why so long to load the main menue? Also on a unrelated note FunPimps befor you finnish the game would really injoy some lore added to the game. like some things explaing back stories to some POIs and how the Zombies Came to be an also How or why the blood moon effects them. would really make it much more emersive if i say so myself. thanks for making the best survival game. i dont expect issues to be fixed over night. appriciate everything ya'll do.

Post your log file using pastebin so we can see what may be causing the problem. Without logs, it would all be guessing.

im not cpu savy can you give me a step by step on how to do that? i play 7DTD from steam by the way not sure if that matters also just verified the files not sure how to make sure all A:19 files are cleared.

tried it after the files verified and its far more stable on the FPS. also loaded the main menu in no time with no issues still took a bit to load into the game but nothing like b4 i think it took maybe 2 minutes at the most.
