Thank you, I will do so then! 🥰

That's a chunk error. I'd check the rest of your log and see if there's any other issues. I've been having some myself in one specific area of my map. No idea why.

 

ow. Right where I'm building my new base (~8000 blocks used so far, all upgraded from shape to concrete...).

 

Thanks. I didn't know that's what the error meant.

Yeah, I just lost my house randomly as well. That SUCKED

I was just watching that episode. ouch, that's horrible.

 

I think I'll do a lot of roaming around my new base to see if any errors pop up. Haven't actually moved anything there yet, which may be fortunate.

 

 

Edit: Just noticed the vehicle manager keeps listing the MD-500 I lost when the game crashed, so that's apparently on the map somewhere (I don't know what "-243.4, 127.0, 1806.4), chunk -16, 112" translates to in ingame map coords). I lost it far from the area where I got the chunk error message, but it might not help make things more stable if it's stuck underground or bouncing around.

Also, when I take the MD-500 I spawned in the original's place out of my inventory and place it, I get WRN warnings. Which seems weird.

Good day, I installed the mod version 5.1.0, I can't buy anything in vending machines, neither with food nor with drink. And what are these errors in the console?

That sounds like you may have a corrupt vehicles file, which does happen unfortunately.

Vending machines, I suggest reading the UI and the big bloody sign above them. 😛

And you can ignore those.

mh. Beginning to think making backups would be a good thing to do, but I usually play for 5-10 hours at a time, so I could still lose a lot (unless I frequently quit, backup, restart, but that'd get tedious and I know I'll forget to do it).

Hopefully 1.0 will make things a bit more reliable.

 

Glad you managed to fix your missing house relatively painlessly.

I think there's a mod on nexus that does auto backups for you whenever you run the game.

Might be worth grabbing that at least?

Eu acho que há um mod no nexo que faz backups automáticos para você sempre que você executa o jogo.

Será que vale a pena agarrar isso, pelo menos?

It would be good (at least for me), it would make it easier when formatting or switching desktops.

An ESSENTIAL MOD.  The player file get corrupted stupid easily.  A sudden power outage while I was playing once nuked my game world of 3+ months.

Backups - backups - backups

Thanks. That looks smarter than I thought was possible. I'll give it a try.

 

I've also lost worlds to power outages several times (pretty stable power supply here, but all the power in the apartment goes if I turn my oven and electrical kettle on at the same time and I'm good at forgetting that).

Is there any way to get mods that add weapons to work with this? Every time I try to select a weapon from a mod the debug menu pops up with a bunch of XUI errors, probably others but there’s too much to see everything. All I want is more swords.

Update: It seems only recipes are broken, I forgot to uninstall and looted a sword without issue.

If you're willing to go through and fix it all, sure

I'm definitely willing to give it a try. How would I go about it, is it just tweaking the xmls?

Just had a wandering horde that included a dire wolf. Day 8, game stage 17, forest biome, Scavenger difficulty.

I've never had that happen before and I've played hundreds of hours of V5 (and V4).

 

Not a complaint, I just don't think I've seen a dire wolf since A20 or maybe even A19, so it was quite a surprise.

[Divey]

Hi Khaine, has this been updated for version 1.0? I wanna say I did a plythrough maybe 6 months ago. Was there any changes from that version?

Just trying to see if I start another playthrough, would there be anything new I haven't seen.

 

Thanks

Spent 80 hours figuring out how to stop endlessly respawning vehicle loot (and vehicles), disappearing horde bases and mines, and respawning trees.

This is not the most fun way I've ever wasted time.

 

I'm far from an expert, and my head doesn't work too well anymore either, but this is how it seems to me:

 

A21.2 seems to use an invalid value for the SaveDataLimit entry in the registry and somehow this doesn't cause problems. 1.0 uses a valid value for the entry, and that screws up A21.2 (I'm guessing TFP went with a fixed number in 1.0, rather than the -1, unlimited, that most people would want. And words could be said about using the registry for stuff like this, particularly for a game like 7DtD that people play multiple versions of, but nevermind).

So, on day 8-10, in five games in a row, I hit the limit and chunks started to reset, leading to an unplayable mess. I tried all sorts of things and it took quite some time to find out none of it worked (I hadn't imagined they'd be using the registry for stuff like this when they've added the " -UserDataFolder=" option, so I didn't consider the registry at first).

 

Apparently the SaveDataLimit can be changed in server config files, but there isn't any file that can be edited for SP games as far as I can tell.

 

Only fix I could find was to uninstall and delete everything to do with 7DtD, including the registry entries, and then install only A21.2 and DF. I didn't try changing the registry value, mind you, partly because I have a suspicion it gets overwritten every time you run 1.0, but I might just be in a pessimistic mood at this point.

Also not sure if other 1.0 registry entries might cause problems; it seemed like the first time I played A21.2 after having played 1.0, things were a bit wonky. Running A21.2, quitting it and then restarting it again seemed to make it less wonky, so there might be something there. Or I might have been hallucinating. Not sure.

1.0 isn't a priority for me at this point, so I've not really experimented further to find out which other problems it causes for A21.2.

 

Anyway, my Darkness Falls appears to be back to its former glory now (and V5.1.0 is really very pleasant. I keep discovering nice things).

 

I saw that in the last DF video, Khaine used a console command to set SaveDataLimit to -1. Does that get saved somewhere or do you have to do it every time you play?

 

[Wist]

I just downloaded DF (followed Khaine's youtube instructions) its not loading up the DF menu just looks like normal 7dtd menu but with no buttons (ie new game, continue...) is there something im missing on why its not loading the DF menu?

F1
setgamepref SaveDataLimit -1

That fixes it and it persists until you run V1 again.

You didn't install it correctly. I'm guessing you have a folder within the mods folder rather than extracting the contents of the zip to the mods folder.

Also make sure EAC is off.

Olá, ele tinha uma publicação de iria demorar uns 3 meses para sair uma nova versão, se não me engano já saiu a um mês esse mensagem. depois procuro e te confirmo.
