NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[marshall7788]

Hello everyone,

yesterday i was playing 7 days to die with two friends, everything was going fine until when i talked to the trader.

I ended up getting the error: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

hopefully someone will be able to help me.

i'll post my log file.

just to be clear as well though, the server is on my friends PC.

7 days to die error log 2023

Edit: the map is 6k

Edit: if possible is it recommended for me to get more RAM?

Last edit: joined my friends about an hour ago and i have not received the error again at all.

anyone who is a moderator is more than welcome to close this thread. 😄

Yes, it's pretty cheap right now as well.

If the day changed in the game and you stopped getting that error, there is a good chance that there is a custom POI that is the same tier as you are on in quests that isn't set up correctly as a quest POI.

Null Ref means one of 3 things.
1. You need to validate your files.
2. The server bugged on generation and there is not an instance set to a random object (This means no code is attatched to x object) and these can be ignored unless you "SEE" a bug caused from it.
3. A bug from a mod.
3. Reloading into the world can sometimes help too.

I ignore these. They are super common. ( I play on 10k maps)

I haven’t got the error since the last played it with my two friends which I’m grateful for.

Thank you got for the information, I’ll be sure to keep these in mind next time I get it when playing with them.
