RHG_BOT 3 Report post Posted December 7, 2024 Today we are making our V1.2 Crossplay patch available to every platform.Players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC can now enjoy cross-platform gameplay. Please note: The Xbox and Microsoft PC Store versions are taking a little longer than expected to pass certification. We don’t expect any issues and hope to release them as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding—we’re excited for everyone to jump into the update soon! For cross-platform games to show in the server browser:Console: Set the option General>Crossplay Enabled: OnPC: Set the option General>Crossplay Enabled: On, but it also requires EAC Protected set to OnMaximum supported player count for crossplay is 8 and world size of 8192. We always encourage a new save with every update, but we do not expect any issues continuing older save games. Enabling Crossplay for those older save games should be safe as well. V 1.2 Official Release Notes. RWG for consoles We have enabled usage of random world generation for consoles which will generate worlds with sizes up to 8192 Crossplay for PC and Console Peer to Peer (NO dedicated servers yet!!!) PC (Windows, Mac, Linux) and PS5 and Xbox Series consoles can host and join peer-to-peer multiplayer sessions with the other platforms. Device restrictions on player counts for hosting multiplayer sessions still apply. Easy Anti Cheat must be enabled for PC clients to host or join cross-play enabled sessions. Added support for blocking players from other platforms Console clients can join world sizes of 8k and smaller. We are currently not setting any hard player count limitations for crossplay, however the player experience will vary depending on the client/host hardware and situation. For example if you have more than 6 players all in the same area on a blood moon it can be challenging on some hardware. Rendering performance optimizations Overall general rendering performance has been improved by reducing overhead due to rendering multiple cameras in the first person view which is a significant performance optimization on all platforms Rendering quality enhancements First person player avatar is now influenced by environment shadows and reflections for all platforms. Graphics options for console Added performance and quality graphics presets for each platform. Performance presets prioritize higher framerates and quality presets prioritize render resolution. AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) up-scaling can be enabled in performance or quality mode FSR Improvements Reduced blurry artifacts when looking at trees with FSR enabled Improved overall clarity of FSR output. Upgraded FSR version to 3.1. Bug fixes Game will remain paused (where possible) when opening the bug report window Improved recovery of cases where the player falls through the world due to missing world geometry Crossplay Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is Crossplay available for PC & Console players?A: Currently Crossplay is supported for Unmodified PC Clients running EAC, XBox Series S|X, and PS5 players.Q: Is Crossplay available for dedicated servers?A: Dedicated servers are currently unsupported. We are working to support this feature in the future, but currently Crossplay only works in Peer To Peer games. Q: Why Can’t I find my friend when I search the Savegame Name?A: You need to search for a player name. Console Players are limited to searching by Player Name. Q: Why can’t I send game invites cross platform?A: Game Invites will only work within your platform, and are unsupported cross platform at this time. Q: My PC friend turned Crossplay on, but I can’t find his game using his User Name, or searching in the Game Browser.A: Your friend needs to make sure they started their game Client with EAC on, Crossplay on, Player Count needs to be 8 or less, and the World Size Needs to be 8k or smaller. You may need to refresh your search browser, and confirm you are searching in the correct region. Q: Does Crossplay support mods?A: No, currently Crossplay does not support mods of any kind. PC players must be running their client in an unmodified state, with EAC on. If the PC Client has had mods installed, they may need to validate their files before playing Crossplay. Q: Can I use Twitch Integration while playing Crossplay?A: Yes. It is recommended that the host is the only person using Twitch Integration when using Crossplay. PC hosts can elevate permissions on any of the clients (Twitch Integration requires a permission level of 90) of Multi-Streaming, but Console Hosts cannot elevate permissions to Multi-Stream. Q: I have an EOS ban. Can I join a Crossplay game?A: No, Crossplay works through EOS and any EOS bans will result in disconnects. Q: Why isn’t my console letting me join Crossplay games?A: You may want to check your Security Settings to ensure Crossplay permissions are enabled. Q: Can Crossplay work with older versions of 7 Days To Die?A: No, Crossplay was released in V1.2 and is incompatible with older versions of 7 Days To Die. Crossplay users can only join games of the same version.
