I bought Project Zomboid a fair while ago through Desura, and also activated it on Steam.
I've had it work in the past for Desura, never for steam.
Now that I have recently updated both and tried playing, what happens is that I launch the game, it gets to the menu and its fine so far- I try online multiplayer and properly input all the correct information for a particular server. Doesn't connect/work, so I go for singleplayer.
I create a singleplayer world, and go through the world creation and character selection/perk system. I finish that and end up in the world for a brief second, and I see my character with the opening message/tip and then the game automatically minimizes and exits without explanation.
I have tried windows 32 mode and compatability for 32, and I have tried both on steam, on desura, and even managed to port it outside of both of them with an independent shortcut. I have tried running all versions as administrator.
Neither works. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong/potential fixes?
Edit: I also tried looking at other fixes on site, such as disabling steam overlay and other methods- still get the crash after I create my character.
And for my computer info, its an ASUS laptop, Win 7 Premium with an HDD of 500 GB, CPU is Intel Pentium B970,2.3 GHz.
Harddrive wise/how much space I got on here- I had at least a qaurter if not more of my first harddrive empty and open for space with an entire secondary one completely free of anything.
