Error box with streaming red console error when first opening backpack

[King]

I played on alpha, no problems. I havent played in a long time, I deleted my old saves as I thought they were probably incompattible. I created a new game which loads fine. When first openign my backpack I get some kind of console window open and a never ending stream of red error nonsense. I googled but I cant find anything remotely related. Right now, the game is unplayable for me, any help would be appreciated.

It would help if you would say what the error is. "red error nonsense" isn't anywhere near enough for anyone to know what the error is, which makes it far harder for anyone to tell you how you could fix it.

Sorry, I was hoping it would be a common thing to happen. It says:
ERR [XUi] Error while updating window group 'crafting.'
EXC Field not found bool .TitleEntityLootContainer.bPlayerStorage due to: Could not find field in class

Did you start a new game and re-create the issue? YES
Have you validated your files through Steam? YES
After validation, did you re-try with a brand new game? YES
Did you check the Basic Troubleshooting and Common Issues thread? YES

Sorry I went through all this and didnt find any solutions. I used search function on the spreadhseet thing in google docs and nothing came up. On the search engines I was getting other random errors from 4 or 5 years ago, completely unrelated.

Cannot use paste bin. Paste bin has an error: You have exceeded the maximum size of 512 kilobytes per Paste.
All I did was paste the log file in from the app data folder.
Edit: The output log from this evening is 7.23 MB

[SylenThunder]

Exit the client as soon as you start seeing the red text, and that should shrink the log considerably.

I found an earlier log file which was shorter, I hope this is still useful:

You said you went through the troubleshoot guide and nothing worked. Let's be thorough for a moment...

1. After uninstalling 7DTD, did you go back to where the game was installed and completely delete the entire folder?

2. Did you go to C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie and delete that entire folder too?

3. Did you edit your registry and remove HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\The Fun Pimps\7 Days To Die and any other subsequent 7DTD keys?

4. If you used Vortex or some other mod manager for 7DTD in the past, did you uninstall/delete the 7DTD mods from there?

5. Is there a "c:\programs" folder with 7DTD content inside it? If so, did you delete that too?

6. After all of that, did you try clicking the "Reset to default settings" button in the 7DTD game folder after you installed the game again?

This is not calling you out so please don't take it that way. This is just informing you of your own mistake.

You did not follow all of the instructions since you are using mods and trying to launch the game using Vortex. Please remove all mods (which is the issue) and start with FULLY clean version of the game (which means doing more than just uninstall/reinstall thru steam) by using the links Sylen provided above.

Remove all of your mods and then follow the instructions in the links Sylen posted to start with a FULL FRESH install of the game.

Also, FYI in the future, stop using vortex to use mods in this game. This isn't skyrim. It isn't necessary to use any 3rd party app to run this game with mods. In fact, it makes it worse. Read or watch videos to see how easy it is to install mods manually and you will avoid a lot less issues.

Oh boy, certainly is complicated for a game I barely care about. Thank you all for your help with this. It would be easier to just uninstall and play something else. Kinda puts you off of a game when its this unstable. The only mods I was adding were features which should be in the base game anyway, which I am not interested in playing it without. It worked fine in Alpha, but of course its now my fault that it no longer works... If its going to be so much of a headache to get it to a playable state, I'm not gonna bother. Thank you for your help though, I hope this post helps someone who cares enough about the game to sink in the hours to get it working with mods.

[Tahnval]

The instability in this case isn't due to the game. It's due to you modding the game incorrectly.

It doesn't take hours to get it working with mods. There's a mods folder right there in the game. All you have to do is put the mod(s) in it. No need for a mod manager.

I've run 7DTD with dozens of mods, all versions since A19. I routinely have at least 2 installations of 7DTD at one time (also extremely easy to do) and routinely change mods. It's the easiest game to mod that I know of. Just don't use a mod manager and that's most of the job done right there.

My guess is that the core of the problem is the Craft From Containers mod. It hasn't been updated for over 2 years and isn't compatible with A22/1.0.

There's an unofficial updated version of it, not by the original author (though the updater goes out of their way to explicitly credit the original modder - it's not simply a ripoff). Whether or not you use it is up to your own sense of what's ethical and what isn't regarding the use of mods.
