Quick guide on uploading your 7 Days To Die save.
NOTE: IF YOUR FILE IS TOO LARGE, USE AN FTP CLIENT TO UPLOAD IT https://low.ms/knowledgebase/how-to-connect-to-your-ftp-server
Following these quick steps you will be able to play your save easily. If you run into any problems, please contact support:
- Locate your local 7DTD save game, usually located in
%appdata%\Roaming\7 Days to Die\Saves\$NAMEOFYOURWORLD$
- If the world was randomly generated, you will need the additional "GeneratedWorlds" folder, found at
%appdata%\Roaming\7 Days to Die\GeneratedWorlds
. The best way to get these to your service would be to ZIP them. You can do this by highlighting both the GeneratedWorlds (if applicable) and Saves folder, right-clicking for the context menu, hover over "Send to" and press "Compressed (zipped) folder". - Make your way to the "File Manager" on your service page, navigate to the "Saves" folder, upload your zipped file and then select unzip.
- When this process has completed, you should see
Saves\$MAPNAME$\$NAMEOFWORLD$
- Then you're going to want to navigate to "Configuration Files" on your control panel, and into the .xml config.
- Set the "Game World" to the same name as your world folder, and then hit "Save" at the top left.
- Set the "Game Name" to the exact name of your save folder in the folder below the name of the map. E.g.
Saves\$NAMEOFWORLD$\YOURSAVE
. This would leave you entering YOURSAVE into the game name field.
