Survivors!

This b325 EXP update is deleting the old EXP Pregens. New ones are provided and named differently to prevent accidental savegame issues.
To preserve your current progress, please copy your currently played Pregen and paste it into your generated worlds folder:
%APPDATA%\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWorlds


Locate your existing world here:

:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die


Alternatively, find it by:

1. Right-clicking on the game in Steam
   
2. Selecting "Properties"
   
3. Going to the “Installed Files” tab
   
4. Clicking “Browse…”
   
5. Opening the “Data” folder
   
6. Opening the “World” folder
   

If you didn't copy the old Pregen world before the update, don't fear. You can still download the EXP Pregens here: Google Drive

We’ve made significant improvements to RWG since the original Pregen worlds for EXP. We want you to enjoy these enhancements, but we also respect your current save games and want you to continue playing if you wish.



Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!


We are preparing for stable next week.

Have an awesome and fun filled weekend,
