ElCabong Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I can't find a log file. I run the launcher, it crashes, then I run the 7DaysToDie.exe right out of the Steam directory. Just played for a few hours, no problems. Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFT2020 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 When does the game crash? If it crashes while loading up, it should be generating a log in your main 7D2D folder (see locations below) Quote The logs typically reside in these locations: Windows client <gamefolder>/7DaysToDie_Data/output_log.txt Windows client as dedicated started through startdedicated.bat <gamefolder>/7DaysToDie_Data/output_log__<DATETIME>.txt Windows dedicated server <gamefolder>/7DaysToDieServer_Data/output_log.txt Windows dedicated server started through startdedicated.bat <gamefolder>/7DaysToDieServer_Data/output_log__<DATETIME>.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Coot Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Have you tried to verify your game files yet. If I'm have a problem with 7D2D it would be the first thing I would do. It has worked for me in the past when I started having a problem. Go to Steam > Library and right click on 7D2D > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of File and run the check. It's worth a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCabong Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 The launcher crashes without starting the game so it doesn't make a log file. Is there a launcher log file somewhere? I'll try verifying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFT2020 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 See if you got a crash report for it /users/username/AppData/Local/TFP/Crash Something like that (I am at work so I can't verify the file location on my computer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at it now and can't find a log file. I've searched for crash. I've looked for log. Nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 You should have multiple copies of your output log files from when you have played successfully. Go to the drive Steam is installed on (C or D or whatever): program files (86)/Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die/7DaysToDie_Data and in that folder there should be several files with this kind of format: output_log_2022-01-22_19-53-17 where the numbers mean year-month-day-hour-minute-seconds of when it was created.
