7 أيام للموت – كيفية إصلاح قضايا unityplayer.dll

Fix crashing that happens when joining server or after playing for some time due to errors with UnityPlayer.dll in 7 أيام للموت.

The Issue

I had an issue where my client would crash after an hour or so of playing or sometimes a few seconds after joining a server.

I checked the Windows Event Viewer and error logs and found the issue was related to UnityPlayer.dll.

كيفية إصلاح

Uninstall Old Visual C++ Redistributables

The solution for me was to uninstall all old Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages and reinstall a fresh copy of the latest supported versions.

I uninstalled every single one of these:

These redist packages grow over time if you play a lot of indie titles, especially Unity games.

You may have fewer or more redist packages installed than I did. In any case, remove them all.

Reinstall a Fresh Copy of Latest Redist Downloads

You can find the latest supported VC++ redist downloads from Microsoft here:

• Latest Supported Redist Downloads

Make sure you pick the right type for your system (likely x64 if you have a modern CPU).

I only needed to install the first one (Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, و 2022) and then 7DTD ran like a dream. Better performance, and no more crashes even after several hours of play!

خاتمة

I play a lot of indie games, many of them built with Unity, and having several dependencies installed must have caused a conflict somewhere. If you are having similar issues and have tried everything else, give this a shot!

I hope it works for you so you can get back to killin’ zombz.
