PayPalIf you're looking forward to 7 Days to Die finally hitting the big 1.0 release, now you can try it a little early with an experimental Beta release. Still hard to believe it's finally launching after so many years in Early Access.
On Steam the developer announced the experimental 1.0 Beta which is available via the opt-in Steam Beta on the game, just look for "latest_experimental" in the drop-down box. As for what's coming in the 1.0 there's a ridiculous amount including a new HD Character System with more customization along with 1st and 3rd person animations, a new armour and clothing system, new animal models, a new challenges system, new vehicle models, updates to world generation and so much more.

One could also conclude you have encountered a bug that no one else has ;)
I know of a lot of people, including streamers on the last weekend, that play the native Linux version of 1.0 just fine, both on GLcore (though some encounter overly bright ingame graphics here) and Vulkan.

I always played the Linux version (with Vulkan enabled). Haven't tried 1.0 yet because it is currently too hot in my computer room.

Quoting: stormtuxThe native version of the experimental beta crashes after a few seconds after loading a new game and immediately after loading a save while the proton version is stable. Since nobody here wrote about the stability i conclude all normally uses the proton version?
Nah, all native here... Never even tried to use Proton for this as it should be unnecessary. What I *did* do, though:
- Set Beta branch to latest_experimental
- Wait for it to finish updating
- Go into the install folder and delete my old Mods folder entirely just in case
- Run Steam's 'Verify integrity of files' to have it re-download whatever the correct 'vanilla' mod stuff is they put in there
Other than that, I go into the launcher and set it to Vulkan, acknowledging it's experimental, and then set my default launch to always be *without* EAC (again, I only play with trusted friends - YMMV if you want to join public servers). I don't know if it's new new or not, but for my particular all-AMD system I've had great performance uplift moving AA from Temporal to FSR in the options, too.

I checked how they handle bug reports and found it is all done on the official forums (and the known issues are published though a spreadsheet on google docs
). There is already one bug report similar to my problem but they have some problem reproducing the crash. I added a new report with my logs hoping to help.Last edited by stormtux on 26 June 2024 at 4:46 pm UTC

I've been running it natively and no issues either. I would advise trying turning off EAC entirely. That thing has been bugged in 7d for ages and it was crashing me out of my friend's server even when disabled his end, till I disabled it on the client too.

Quoting: EriIt'll will have to wait, I didn't like this news. And I'm also alone with this one, my friends don't like games with heavy base building/crafting. Thanks anyway
here we have that rare breed of gamer that is upset that devs are adding more content haha. I appreciate the mindset; 1.0 used to mean done-point-oh.
Personally I love eternal content, but I don't like that we gamers tend to feel entitled to it now. Once devs stop adding content post-launch the forums fill up with nerds calling the game abandoned. not fair :(

Quoting: EhvisI always played the Linux version (with Vulkan enabled). Haven't tried 1.0 yet because it is currently too hot in my computer room.I tried with the opengl renderer and the video was very washed out and generally awful looking. I remember earlier Linux alpha builds had similar problems. It looks great with Vulkan. I hadn't tried that renderer in a long time. Played a few hours last night and it's working great.
So thanks for the tip.

GLcore was too bright. FPS stunk.
Vulkan: brightness ok, FPS marginally better. Crashed and rebooted the system.
Didn't like the dew collector, but it's better now. The tarp doubling the amount so you get 6 per,
means you don't need a huge amount of them. (I'm finding a LOT of murky water anyway soo...)
I'm gonna play it a bit more, but then it's going back into the doghouse.

Not solving your performance issues, game is bad at it, period.
Reboot on other hand = problem on your system, hardware or software. No user space program is able to reboot your PC.(unless it uses appropriate OS calls, which 7days to die will not do)
