V1.1 B4 EXP Update

Experimental V1.1 b4 is out!

Hello Survivors!
After another successful round of bug fixing and balancing based on all of your tremendous feedback, The Fun Pimps are pleased to announce their latest release for experimental testing, v1.1 b4.

This update addresses some problems related to vehicle interaction with player colliders, as well as some audio issues, and a TON of smaller fixes to various POIs. As such, a new game is highly recommended in order to experience these updated POIs in all of their glory.

They didn’t forget about the modders, bringing a fix for an NRE related to custom sign text in custom POIs, adding a GameShuttingDown mod event, and have updated the rwgmixer to allow custom district names via XML.

For their console users, expect to see these changes and more once v1.1 Stable is released.

What’s next? Their efforts continue to be focused on squashing bugs and working hard to get closer to a v1.1 Stable release, so stay tuned for future updates!

To get access to this version:

Right click on 7 Days to Die in your Steam Library
In the windows that opens, Click on ‘Properties’
Click the ‘Betas’ tab on the left side of the panel
From the dropdown in the top left, select ‘latest_experimental’
Now the game will begin to download
Once it’s completed, start playing!
