What is new

• Every added enemy and boss has a 3D body.
• A new opening. After the opening movie, voices speak to you in the White Room, with subtitles.
• Jobs in three slots: melee, ranged and support. There are 17 jobs, each with its own armour look.
• You take and report every chapter at the Request Board.
• 13 chapter movies, remade with narration. No bosses are shown.
• The five traders have voices.
• A fox companion, Japanese-style vehicles, a slot machine and new yokai.
• Every weapon was checked one by one: the grip, the muzzle flash and the sights.
• Theme song "Hare no Chi Hare" (sung by Macksan) and ending theme "Hiokuri".
• The story is the same Part One. The texts are shorter and easier to read.

How it looks

All 497 added enemies have a 3D body of their own. No added enemy borrows a vanilla body any more. The windows are black lacquer and gold, and the weapon and armour icons were redrawn.

Voices and music

The opening White Room now plays line by line, voiced and subtitled. The five traders have voices too. The theme song "Hare no Chi Hare" (sung by Macksan, music by Suno) and the ending theme "Hiokuri" are included.

Jobs and Job Souls

There are 17 jobs, held in three slots: melee, ranged and support. Each job has its own training quests and its own armour, and the 16 Job Souls are a trump card that lasts three minutes.

How the story moves

You take every chapter at the Request Board and report back to it. The 13 chapter movies were remade with narration, and no boss is shown in them. The story itself is the same Part One.

Japanese daily life

45 dishes and drinks, Japanese-style vehicles (rickshaw, glider, kite, hot-air balloon, transport helicopter), a fox companion, a slot machine and stone lanterns. New yokai appear in the snow and on wasteland nights.

Gear and storage

A God-Steel Chest of 180 slots, a Kamiyo Chest of 270 and an Ammunition Crate of 300. You can write a name on a chest. An Armor stand swaps your whole set in one motion, and underground veins of copper, zinc, aluminium, titanium and God-Steel were added.

What you need

• 7 Days to Die V3.3.0 (b14) (Windows, Steam)
• EAC turned off
• A screen of 1920×1080 or larger
• About 8.7 GB of free space
• A new game on one of the nine bundled NG7D maps (your current saves cannot be used)

What is in the zip, and how big

7.2 GB (8.7 GB after unpacking)

• 9 folders to put in Mods
• 9 maps (Soft / Normal / Hard x 6K / 8K / 12K), already inside the Mods folders
• READMEs in Japanese and English, the credits, and a SHA-256 list
• No extra framework is needed. 0_TFP_Harmony ships with the game — do not delete it.

How to install

1. Delete every NEW GENESIS 7DAYS folder from your Mods folder (the standard edition and any older Remaster).
2. Put the 9 folders from the zip's Mods folder into %APPDATA%\7DaysToDie\Mods\.
3. Start the game with EAC off. In the launcher, open Settings and untick "Use EasyAntiCheat (EAC)".
4. Choose New Game, then one of the NG7D maps (Soft / Normal / Hard x 6K / 8K / 12K).
5. If the title screen shows "HD Remaster 1.0.3", it is installed.

For details, read README_HDRemaster_EN.md in the zip.

Turning EAC off

This edition ships DLLs. With EAC on, the game loads none of the mod and you start a plain vanilla world that looks no different.

• From the launcher (recommended): Steam → Play → Show game launcher → Settings → untick "Use EasyAntiCheat (EAC)" → Play
• Or accept the restart prompt the title screen offers
• Or start 7DaysToDie.exe directly — the one without _EAC

While EAC is off you cannot join EAC-protected servers.

How to check it loaded

• "HD Remaster 1.0.3" appears under the title on the title screen, and at the top left while you play.
• The Mods list shows 9 entries (the game's own 0_TFP_Harmony does not count).

Playing together

• The host (or dedicated server) and every player need the same files from the same zip.
• If one person differs, some parts will not work.
• Dedicated servers have passed a start-up test. Long-running servers have not been tested yet.
• If someone on a different version tries to join, the connection is refused with a message naming the version they need.
• Chapter bosses are shared by the party, and the proof goes to every nearby member.
• 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 cannot play together. Update the server and every player to 1.0.3; your saves keep working.

Notes and known issues

• Never install it in the same Mods folder as the standard edition. Running it alongside other mods is untested; a clean Mods folder is recommended.
• In a deep crouch some armour can clip into the body.
• Support skills and the crafting and life skills are not reworked yet.
• Some lines in Russian, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Korean are still in English.
• Some added enemies still move both arms together, and at a full sprint a chapter boss can lift a foot slightly off the ground.
• Mineral veins and torii respawns only appear on newly generated terrain.
• Chapter-movie narration follows the Ambience volume; the theme and ending songs follow the Music volume.

The full list is in README_HDRemaster_EN.md inside the zip.

Chapter mechanics, items and enemies: share them freely. Please keep the late-game truth and the ending out of titles and thumbnails, for the people who play after you.
