Game won't load with EAC off

[ATG915]

I need EAC off so some of my mods work. When I have it off and open the game, it gets stuck at "loading" If I turn it back on, the game loads fine. I've tried reinstalling the game, deleting the registry, restarting my PC and nothings helped

That's odd. Post a log file please, moving this to General Support.

Copy and paste this into the run box, windows key + R: 

%appdata%/7daystodie/logs

 

You will see output logs, put one of them on pastebin.com then make it public and put the link here

Looks like that mod is failing, and you've got corrupted .dll files. 

 

1. Fallback handler could not load library C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die/7DaysToDie_Data/Mono/data-000002A89B0B3450.dll
2. Fallback handler could not load library C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die/7DaysToDie_Data/Mono/data-000002A7E91DFE50.dll

 

I would delete those .dll fles, remove all mods, verify the game twice through Steam and try loading the game with EAC on/off as a test and see where we're at

I can't find any folder in there named Mono to get those .dll files, and nothing comes up when I copy and paste that into file explorer. Only place I see something called mono in the 7days to die data folder is in the managed folder

Ah yeah that would be hidden or may be runtime. Either way the firearms mod sounds like it's causing it, I would still remove all the mods completely and go ahead and delete the whol 7daystodie_data folder and re verify twice and see where we're at. It's one of the mods that's overhauling something that's causing this

I did that and it worked, thank you so much man. This was @%$#ing me off lol. I guess I'll try to reinstall one mod at a time and see what happens

Hah, you're welcome. Have fun

 

Yeah one at a time is best, I am willing to bet the firearms one is just broken looking at the error; but, don't forget mods can conflict with one another so you've got a lot of trial and error with that lot.
