Windows 11, Steam, 7 Days to Die, Crash on exit, PC wont go to sleep

[Rabbitslovecactus]

Just was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this. Here is what's been happening since Alpha 20. 

 

Launch 7 Days to die through Steam>Play the game> exit the game> 7 days to die freezes> Steam Freezes>wait....>open task manager to kill the game> nothing happens> Kill Steam> Try to put the computer to sleep> The screen goes black the the computer stays on>Hard reset the PC by holding the power button down>Boot the PC> Start all over again.

 

This is specific to 7 Days to die, I can play other games from steam, close them and put my computer to sleep without a problem. 7 Days to die crashes itself and steam when trying to exit.

 

 

Thanks

FYI, this is a little off topic, but i've also experienced some floating trees and irregular terrain that would change height as I rode my bike. Looked like I was driving into a mountain, but then it would get smaller and keep moving back until it was gone. I bet this is related to the floating trees. Hopefully the logs help with that as well.

It looks like you have A19 files mixed in with A20. I’d do a cleaning, uninstall/reinstall using the procedure posted when you click on the blue banner at the top of this page. See if that solves your problem.

Hmm, ok. That is very strange. Before alpha 20 launched I did a complete clean, and uninstall. I will do it again.

Update: Even though I cleaned all game files, and reinstalled the game when alpha 20 exp came out, I still had these issues. The fix was to clean and reinstall again when beta came out...Really sucks since I had a great game going on..... Either way, I hope this helps anyone else. Thanks Star69.
