skertelles2.0 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 is there any way in the future that I can keep playing my alpha 16 worlds? I thought there was forum some where that answered this question, but I could not find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltirn Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 If you right click the game in your steam library and click 'properties' then go to the 'betas' tab you'll find a drop down menu where you can select alpha releases back to alpha 10.4. Once a17 drops to default you'll be able to select the current a16 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullpoker Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Save 16.4 in a different folder and it will stay there forever. Or move the new fail version and then re-download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I've done with every single Alpha since I started. Steam only ever touches whats in the steam directories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NalaAddict Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 It would be nice if someone posted the folders where the default steam save states are located. Simple enough to back them up with that in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(which ever drive your steam library is on)\Steam\steamapps\common Also for skertelles2.0 Right click the 7 Days to Die directory (in that Steam directory), select copy, open a directory (I have a "Games" directory) where you want to copy it to and right click paste. Game will be copied there. I then change the directory name to match the version, so I have in my E:\Games directory the following directories each with their own copy of the game: 7dtd a16b104 7dtd a152b8 etc etc all the way back to, currently Alpha 10: 7data a104b10 With even older version on my SAN device somewhere.
