Hated Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Hello survivos! We are happy to release our Alpha 20.0 b238 stable version to all of you in time for the holidays! Alpha 20's release brings a truckload of new features with it, if you have not seen them yet, check them out here. If you have been playing during experimental, but dropped out at some point, you can read up here on what you missed in between builds. If you want to participate in bug reporting, consult the known issues list before posting, please. After Christmas break we will start deprecating 19.x betas on Steam. We do not like to do this, but due to Steam's limitations, we do not have further beta slots available. Please use this time to make sure your save games and/or mods run fine in Alpha 19.6 b8 since that build will be the only version of Alpha 19. We are keeping the public TFP3 server (steam://connect/185.209.179.61:25008) open for people to play on over the holidays to see if we can reproduce chunk or region problems. TFP wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Edited February 1, 2022 by Hated (see edit history) 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mle_ii Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 First time doing an experimental build and new to 7d2d. If we already started an alpha 20 map in experimental should it just keep working in alpha 20 stable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always recommended to wipe and start fresh, that said, my friends and I have moved several experimental builds over to stable with few to no issues.

Thank you, after talking with others we might think about starting on a randomly generated world we started on Navezgane and where we spawned we're not getting as much loot in prep for the first horde night. LOL That and my daughter and I are just learning the game so staring over might be ok. I need to talk to her about it first though. Just need to find a good seed to start on.

My friend is the seed builder, I just name them, BrainnDrains or viceversa, and such. I played Nav when I was first starting out then fell in love with RWG, but try going into the Random Gen Previewer and see what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POCKET951 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) well, since it is stable, I just want to remind you that the release notes need an update as well still, As there are indeed 8 tier 5 PoIs Edited December 21, 2021 by POCKET951 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dares Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 So basically i'm playing on experimental from beggining. Is it worth to begin a new adventure on a new map or we can still rock our gameplay ? Will we miss something big playing on experimental generated map ?

pApA^LeGBa Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Nice. So that weird sound when hitting metal is intended? I thought my speakers broke for a second, gave me a mini heart attack. Can´t buy those babies anymore.

unholyjoe Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) ***************************************Please.. to get a20b238 stable build, you can merely opt out of "betas" by choosing "none". you will then begin the download (unless you had access to a20b238 experimental) to which is the now stable version. if you had the experimental a20b238, you already have the stable version. i just tested on my wifes computer and she now has the a20b238 version.Thanks QA Tester-unholyjoe*************************************** Edited December 22, 2021 by unholyjoe (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4to0 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Are there any breaking changes between the first experimental A20 and the stable release for existing saves? I saw the comment where wiping is recommended but I don't think my chap will like that heh. I wouldn't bother wiping everything and doing another RWG. Unrelated, is the 16k map generation fixed? I remember the game not allowing to do 16384 due to some newline string (\n) that was commented in the A20 dev diary, and I haven't found anything about that in the latest changelogs. Congrats and great job to all the devs and testers on getting it stable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimly Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Why on earth is my map suddenly opening like this? is that a feature or a bug? It's incredibly annoying to be dragged into way point search every time I open my map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Just to be clear, the stable release this afternoon was not an update. It was simply switching the 238 build from the opt-in branch to Steam's main branch. If you updated b238 earlier this morning then you have already been playing the stable version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimly Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Yeah I just went to load my game from the desktop like normal and steam forced the new update, I did nothing out of my ordinary launching of 7d2d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant for the dedicated server, where the server config file says that you can do up to 16384 (16k), and as it was working in A19 it broke in A20, a regression I'd say . Thanks for the reply!
