Greetings Survivors,

As we approach December 13th, we're excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this game. This Thanksgiving not only marks a time of gratitude but also commemorates the 11th anniversary since the game's conception. Currently, our dedicated team is diligently working on the 22nd major release.

It's incredible to reflect on our journey as The Fun Pimps, growing from a team of 3 to a robust group of over 60 individuals. Throughout this decade, we've consistently invested 90% of our resources into our passion project, 7 Days to Die, and this commitment remains unwavering. If this isn't a labor of love, we're not sure what is.

We invite you to show your support by voting for your favorite deserving survival game. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!

Sincerely,
The Fun Pimps

Hello Survivors!

Just in time for the extended Thanksgiving Weekend, TFP is proud to present A21.2 Stable! With the entire 7 Days to Die team working tirelessly to roll out A22 as soon as possible, we've implemented numerous fixes and changes that we know you'll love!

This latest release adds a much anticipated feature: Death penalty options! You can now choose from Nothing, Classic, Injured (respawn with most debuffs still active), and Perma-death (your entire profile is wiped, and you start fresh in the same savegame).

We've also added the ability to lock inventory slots. Click the arrow buttons to indicate how many slots to lock, starting from the top left-most slot in the Player Inventory. Those locked slots will be unaffected by the Sort Inventory, Fill Stacks, and Move all buttons. This is a great way to ensure you have your required Ammo, Food and Water, or Medical Supplies on you at all times to fully augment your playstyle.

The drone also got some love, with emphasis on several fixes for lost drones and improve pathing in certain situations. This should result in fewer drones getting stuck.

For a more comprehensive list of updates included in this release, please refer to the complete changelog below.

From all us us at TFP, we wish you a joyous and Happy Thanksgiving!

It has been a while since our last major release, December 2021 to be exact. For a year and a half, our growing team has been working hard to bring you Alpha 21. This Alpha delivers more polish, optimizations, updates, quality-of-life improvements, new content, new features, and new gameplay systems than ever before. We say it every Alpha, and we will say it again, this is the biggest and baddest version of the game to date.

If you have never played 7 Days to Die or you have not played it for a while, youre going to want to check out Alpha 21. Pushing hard towards the Gold Version, this impressive mountain of work could only be achieved by the lengthy, iterative, development style we have gone through. The Fun Pimps dream big and know that nothing of this magnitude comes overnight. Building on an already solid foundation, this update sets the bar even higher for the sandbox, survival, simulation, RPG game genre.


We are very proud of the work, passion, and dedication our team has poured into 7 Days to Die and we hope you enjoy Alpha 21 as much as we have.

• Entities have variable update rate based on distance
  

• Normally you define API tokens in the serveradmin.xml or via the webtokens command, but you can also define one API token on the command line with the -webapitokenname=x and -webapitokensecret=y arguments which will define a single token with permission level 0
  
• The API endpoint to issue commands is /api/command. The token name and secret need to be passed as HTTP headers X-SDTD-API-TOKENNAME and X-SDTD-API-SECRET. The request needs to use the POST method and contain a JSON body consisting of {command: command to execute}
  

• WebDashboardEnabled toggles the whole system on or off
  
• WebDashboardPort specifies the TCP port to run the interface on
  
• WebDashboardUrl should contain the full URL that points to the dashboard, e.g. to a reverse proxy forwarding to the internal dashboard, like https://proxydomain:8000/. If the server can be reached with its public IP directly this value can be left empty
  
• EnableMapRendering decides whether the game renders the map tiles to corresponding images that can be seen on the Web Dashboard or used with other tools to get a full view of the discovered game map.
  

Hello Survivors!

With the Experimental phase of A21 coming soon, we want to patch an issue we found during testing.
This patch only addresses a benign save game compatibility error users would encounter when returning to A20 after a session in A21 Exp.

This patch does not contain any content you may have seen in an A20.7 Twitch build, those features will roll out with A21.

Please remember A20 savegames will not work with the A21 version, you will have to start anew.


Stay alert for developer stream announcements to catch the latest news about A21!
You can find out more about streams in our forum.

TFP is proud to announce the Alpha 21 Developer Streams begin Wednesday night April 12th at 9 PM CST. Join Co-Founders Richard Huenink, Joel Madmole Huenink & Senior Developer Lathan (@fubar_prime) for the first look at Alpha 21!

Hello Everyone!

We have another stable patch for Alpha 20.
With the overwhelming majority of the team working full steam on A21, we took some time to merge fixes and changes to A20 for your enjoyment.



Due to Microsoft requirements, custom prefabs can no longer be saved directly to the game folder.
They will be saved to the User Defined Folder (UDF).
This default location is:

\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\LocalPrefabs


To avoid having to re-save each POI one at a time in the prefab editor, all POI's currently located in...

\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Prefabs

...should be manually moved to the UDF.


The UDF can be declared in the game launcher as a command line parameter.
Add the following to the command line:

Format:

-UserDataFolder=

Example:

-UserDataFolder=C:\MyUserData


The UDF can also be set in the serverconfig.xml file.

Alpha 20.4 and newer builds will continue to have EAC running through the Epic Online Services. We have chosen to use this service as it will make future game browser and network cross play support possible.

Hello everyone!
Please take your time and have a look at the new EXP build.
This build tackles several reasons that did cause crashes for some users.
We are seeing reports of the Discord overlay potentially crashing the game, please read here.
We hope in this EXP build, everyone can play again.

If you are still crashing, please take your time to report a bug, after reading this:
https://community.7daystodie.com/a20-bug-database/bug-pool/before-you-post-a-report-r1/

If you still crash before the game starts, we would need your launcher.log and the anticheatlauncher.log.
Please provide them in a bug report following the link above.

Please do not look for help in the discussion thread here, but go to the bug reports instead. The QA team is in there helping as soon as they can.

Hello everyone!
While the majority of the team is heavy at work on Alpha 21, we are excited to give you A20.4 b42 stable today!

Server owners will need to add/modify these 2 new properties in the serverconfig.xml. These filters will help players find your server.


Values must be one of the following:
NorthAmericaEast, NorthAmericaWest, CentralAmerica, SouthAmerica, Europe, Russia, Asia, MiddleEast, Africa, Oceania


Values: Use any language name that your players would expect to search for. Should be the English name of the language, e.g. not "Deutsch" but "German". This is a filter name only and DOES NOT SET the language for players.

If no region is entered on the server end, you will not be able to find the server.



For everyone who played EXP:
There is no change between b41 and b42, we just had to adjust the buildnumber.

A20.4 b42 changelog:

Added

• Language selection under Video > UI. Defaults to the platform's language (on Steam the language that is selected in Steam for the game, otherwise the host system's language)
  
• EOS P2P networking for cross platform P2P games
  
• Destroy area attacks partial blocks it moves into
  
• AI ApproachAndAttackTarget decreases path update rate at farther distances
  
• Path generation canceling on a new path request
  
• Cr console command u, utimed and ue parameters
  

• Launcher on Windows now stores log files in %APPDATA%/7DaysToDie/logs folder
  
• Screenshots are stored in /Screenshots (i.e. the folder that also stores saves, e.g. on Windows %APPDATA%/7DaysToDie/Screenshots)
  
• Mods are now loaded from /Mods (i.e. the folder that also stores saves, e.g. on Windows %APPDATA%/7DaysToDie/Mods) in addition to /Mods. In a future build this will change to only load from that new location so no data is written/changed in the program folder at any time.
  
• Reduced sleeper volume attack target time
  
• Changed SkyManager to explicitly set shadowCustomResolution for the moon and sun lights based on the ingame "Shadow Distance" setting: 1k for Low/Medium, 2k for High, and 4k for Ultra/Ultra+. This gives more consistent results in terms of performance and fidelity when changing the setting, regardless of the user's output screen resolution.
  
• MacOS builds target x86_64 only for now until third party code supports M1 you can still run the game on M1 Macs with Rosetta, but you no longer manually have to enable it
  
• Reduced achievement goals for: Dying, PvP kills, game stage, and staying alive
  
• Favorite and history servers are now stored independently of Steam
  
• Removed display name from non-lootable produce baskets
  
• Improved path generation state switching and aborting
  
• Optimised SpeedTree shaders by multicompiling a version without FadeOut behaviour and automatically swapping to it whenever the FadeOut value is set to 1 (fully opaque).
  

• Giving the same command line argument to the dedi multiple times causes exception but no startup abort
  
• Errors in dedi config does not cause the server to immediately shut down after the errors are logged
  
• Client side NRE spam after kicking a player with ESC menu open
  
• Opening the map on a controller attempts to open On Screen Keyboard
  
• Vulture sleepers flapping when spawned
  
• Cases of falling into ground if chunk colliders reallocated during baking
  
• Rare invisible chunk colliders if changed and cleared during baking
  
• Drone's light doesn't affect player stealth
  
• Junk drone dye not applying to all tint parts
  
• Drone dye displays differently between clients and hosts Dedi and P2P issues
  
• Only the first Drone Cargo Mod can be added by drag and drop
  
• Ranged actions doing tool belt notifies more than once per execute
  
• Sporadically vehicles can reload underground and get moved (IsChunkAreaCollidersLoaded check)
  
• Silly votes and actions conflict with each other.
  
• Activating quest marker at POI can reset adjacent POI
  
• Robotic turrets stop working when placed higher than where the player is standing
  
• Removed Unity Screen Selector option from game launcher as Unity does no longer support this
  
• 2 wheeled vehicles are very good at climbing vertical walls
  
• Zombie pathing/digging can fail/struggle when the player is too far underground
  
• Fixed shadow clipping bug in the SpeedTree8 shader by implementing Unity's SHADOW_CASTER macros to correctly handle shadow pancaking.
  
• Server list not updating the table when new data for an existing entry comes in
  
• Changing server list sorting did not apply until filters are changed or a new server shown
  
• Resetting filters in the server browser causes any filter fields that are min/max input only (like game days) to fail

• Players can be damaged and rag dolled by vehicles on log in

Hello Survivors!

This small hotfix addresses a change to the Twitch authentication, allowing users the continue using it after February is over.

This build was supposed to go out Wednesday, but Twitch did a test run, which forces us to put it out early.

There is no reason any of you should have to start over with this update.

Expect A20.4 with general fixes on EXP by end of this week or early next week.

We hope you enjoy!

We hope you enjoy!
