Connection Issues And Other Server Related Problems - MEGATHREAD

Recommended Posts

Ok, thx P. I guess I'll make a start there. I've been putting up with the drops without much problem but when you loose that much at once it makes me ready to try the other server.

Your welcome, also we relaunched the other server as like a courtesy to our players until this problem gets fixed, so your welcome to play on either server. We also most likely wont wipe the world for PVE 1 during the next release so you should be able to pick up right where you left off.

hello,

 The 7 days to Die server 1 goes down about every 15 to 20 minutes. I see some people have bailed on it and I would rather not unless this is going to be an ongoing thing. Does anybody know why this is happening so often?

love the server, would hate to leave it.

Thanks!

Not much can be done apparently, a combination of the problems still present in the pimp's codes for the game (not very optimized yet) and the company that's hosting PVE 1. But I think mainly the former.

The second server had also been wiped many times this past month due to bugs  that would result in freezing the server and the server was basically unplayable after that. We tried to fix it but there wasn't much that we could have done about this due to coding errors in this early access game. Alpha 14 has been a rough version, with quite a few bugs and problems. Best regards.

Is the server down now as we speak? I have tried connnecting multiple times and it continues to have no fluctuation in 5/40 online and just sticks on the Connecting to Server... message. I can connect to other servers with no issue.

The map is being rendered again to help prevent server from randomly disconnecting players on that server and it should be finished soon.

Hey all.  just got kicked multiple times by the EAC.  it said check to see if I had cheat protection software running.  Everytime i try to log back in, I get kicked again.

 

I launch 7 days to die normally (the first option, NOT the 'launch without Anticheat' option) and this is the first time this is happening to me.

Bug? Am I being hacked or something?  Any help would be appreciated cus I cant play right now.

Ok update: I looked up common problems online and found this chat:

' Ran into a problem tonight where I was being EAC kicked from my own server. I have been playing for weeks without issue, and earlier today without issue. Came back from the store, fired up the game, and immediately got kicked. Repeated this process a few times doing different things that weren't effective (e.g. rebooting). 

I noticed what I thought was an unrelated issue that certain websites (e.g. 7daystodie.com) weren't loading up like normal, but others (e.g. google/yahoo/msn) were fine. 

Ultimately, turns out my DNS resolver cache was stale. 

Opened a CMD window, ran ' ipconfig /flushdns ' and the problem was immediately resolved. No more EAC kicks, and no more problems loading up the website. 

I don't expect this to be a magic bullet for everyone, but I thought I'd post it here in the hopes that it might help someone. '

 

So far, it seems to be working for me.  will let you know if that changes.

That's good to know. If it happens again let me know and I will see what I can do for you on our end with the server.

Howdy, the pve2 server appears to be frozen, it still says 11 people are on but me an someone on my friends list can't enter the room it just stays on the connecting screen. Think it just needs a reset maybe?

Same here, still cannot connect. Doesn't error out or anything, just hangs on the connecting dialogue forever. it has changed to show no one is online though, but it is still listed in servers like it's online. :/

Dear Admins,

 

Steam just updated 7DaystoDie to 14.7. My update just finished literally 5 minutes ago on my end.

The server's still on 14.6 and won't let anyone log on due to version mismatch. Just wanted to bring that to your attention.

 

Thank you.

Already shot a communique to Piranha about it. Hopefully we'll have the update rolling soon. In the meantime you can run 14.6 in Beta mode on Steam to access the servers.

It has been updated recently to alpha 14.7, we immediately updated both servers the moment we knew about the update, from this post. Thank you for posting. :D

Since the 14.7 patch I can not connect to either PvE or PvE 2. Could someone just make sure I'm not banned by the server for some reason?

I have tried flushing my dns and reinstalling EAC --still can not connect. I'm getting the message "Kicked by EAC." "Please check to see that you started the game with EAC enabled."

I had a similar issue a few weeks ago, and found a solution that worked for me.  I'm at work right now or I'd just post a quote, but u can find what I did in my EAC Kick thread in this same section.  Hopefully, that fix will work for you too.
