Ranwolf1956 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Is there some way to go back and play 7 DTD say in alpha 13? It would be nice if we could reload any alpha we would love to revisit. That would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylenThunder Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Go to game properties, and select beta versions. You can choose any version back to 8.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranwolf1956 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Play preavous alpha 7 Days games Is there some way to go back and play 7 DTD say in alpha 13? It would be nice if we could reload any alpha we would love to revisit. That would be awesome! I went back to Alpha 13 and it would not let me play. I went to others and got the same error sign. Now what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4sheetzngeegles Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 You may need approx 3gb free per version. In a nutshell get a spare drive, create a directory, designate version number for easy reference, go to steam, download the available version you want, copy to alternate drive repeat for each version start steam offline click the 7dtd executable in the version you want to play Have fun.

Red Eagle LXIX Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The following portion of the linked post should help: https://steamcommunity.com/app/251570/discussions/0/540743128732882434/#c558753718143499643 Edit: 2017-04-25 -- Adding this as I should have ages ago. Combine this with the following from my personal notes and past postings (these are not official instructions as a part of switching versions but I find them quite useful to avoid problems): I recommend when switching between major versions, especially when going backwards, the best thing to do is follow the directions here: Uninstall / Reinstall Procedure for Troubleshooting The differences in configuration files and registry entries between major versions can and will cause issues. Just to be perfectly clear on this, I can switch between every major version and run fine as I've backups of almost every single version released by following very similar (I backup rather than delete). Also note: I do not run with EAC, so if an old version doesn't work with EAC enabled, try without. EDIT 2: 2017-04-25: http://steamcommunity.com/app/251570/discussions/0/1319961868335439812/?tscn=1493143129#c1319961868335960807 Steam client giving the error "An error occurred while updating 7 Days to Die (missing executable)" when trying to launch the game. This is related to changes that added a launcher and Steam not allowing multiple choices for launching based on version. I normally just launch the executable manually. Here is how to launch: After uninstall/install of the older version. Steam Client > Games Library Right-Click 7 Days To Die Select Properties and click Click Local Files Tab Click Browse Local Files Double-Click 7DaysToDie.exe You may want to make a shortcut to the executable itself to make launching easier. Alternatively, back up the 7dLauncher.exe before downgrading, then copy it to the install folder after changing to the older version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
