Please add custom launch options

Feature RequestsFeature RequestPC App - Mods & Trainers

My game (7dtd) use a different settings location. It stored in the original launcher and the steam launcher options as well, but the Wand don’t use either of them.

Please add an oportunity to add a launch option when I select a custom game .exe

or use the steam or launcher settings of the launch option variable.

Without it I cannot lunch the game from the wand (I lose all my save games/mods/settings)

Recently the game cannot launched outside of the Wand. Please solve it!

    Thank you for sharing this in such detail, we completely understand how frustrating it must be to lose your save games, mods and settings just by launching through Wand. The suggestion of adding custom launch options or pulling from existing Steam/launcher settings is a practical and well-considered one. Your feedback has been noted and will be passed along to the relevant team. We appreciate you taking the time to share it so clearly!

      Hi

      My solution - outside of Wand - is to create a symlink folder to my 7DtD data folder. If you use the “-UserDataFolder=X:\YourDataFolderPath” to store mods, save games, worlds, etc as me add a symlink to the original 7DtD data folder.

      Open a command prompt (Windows + R, run cmd) and type:

      mklink /d “C:\Users\<YourWinUser>\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie” “X:\YourDataFolderPath”

      Of course change the path to your own. I suggest to empty the AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie folder before the procedure (or rename it for safety)

      Other than that, I still like to see a Wand solution to add a launch option to the game file.
