7 Days to Die v1.4 b8 EXP

Experimental Patch v1.4 Now Available!

Greetings, Survivors!

As development continues on the upcoming version 2.0, a new experimental patch—v1.4—has been released with several key improvements and fixes. Though it’s a relatively small update, it targets a few notable issues and backend changes that enhance the current gameplay experience.

What’s Included in v1.4

  • Resolved an issue where music would loop incorrectly.
  • Fixed multiple blockers that were preventing the completion of larger Points of Interest (POIs).
  • Updated Twitch integration to adapt to the upcoming shutdown of the “pub sub” system scheduled for mid-April.

How to Access the Experimental Build

If you’d like to try out the latest experimental update, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click the game in your Steam library.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Navigate to the Betas tab.
  4. From the drop-down menu, choose latest_experimental.
  5. Wait for the update to download and install.

⚠️ While this update is not expected to cause compatibility issues, it is recommended to start a new save for the best experience.


Looking Ahead

As version 2.0 approaches a more stable build, keep an eye out for upcoming developer live streams and announcements. There’s exciting progress ahead!

Happy surviving, and enjoy testing the experimental build!
