Can you run the ProjectZomboid64.bat file again? A console window should show up with a lot of text, can you share a screenshot of that? It should contain error messages to help find out what the issue is.
-
This makes the problem more clear, it seems to be a permission issue on your PC preventing the game to write in the User/Zomboid folder.
You can fix this by moving the Zomboid location elsewhere.
Try going to your Steam Library > Right click Project Zomboid > Properties > Set Launch Options > Type -cachedir=C:\Zomboid > Start the game -
It is likely not going to come in the near future. Though, does your app not allow using any of the default Controller buttons? In this case you should be able to use one of the R1 or L1 buttons to select the window and then use the X button to close it.
-
Thanks, this is fairly unusual, I would recommend you go to the Zomboid folder and delete everything there, including the Saves folder, though you can instead move that folder somewhere else if you have any old saves you want to keep around.
After that, try verifying your game files.
Steam Library > Right-click Project Zomboid > Properties > Local Files > Verify Local Files
Then just try starting the game again, It should fix the Savefile error. -
I understand, but I will need to get the error log from that instance when the game crashes as you have described. Can you share the logs again in that case?
-
Try going to the server's Save folder and delete the "map_sand.bin" file, as that file should not be there.
-
Unfortunately, this logs file is empty, I recommend first starting a game and loading into a new save, then reproducing the issue after that, and then finally shutting down the game. This should create the new logs file which would contain the logs from that game, you have to send the logs after that.
-
Yes you can share it too.
-
I assume this is your post as well?
-
Can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?
-
Unfortunately, it looks like you enabled mods right away when loading the game, then crashed due to them.
Are you able to replicate this issue on a new save without any mods? -
Seems like the file is corrupted for some reason. Try going to the Zomboid folder again and delete everything there except the "Saves" folder. Then try starting a new game again.
If it still shows an error, share the file again, as it should no longer be corrupted after this. -
Can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?
-
Not really, you have any mods enabled perhaps?
-
Any mods enabled perhaps? Does it happen without them?
-
console.txt file in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid

This is a known issue. I recommend manually changing the settings instead of using the existing presets.
-
They might matter, since it seems to be some sort of Steam issue.. do you have the ports opened in your firewall as well? Or even the antivirus if it has any network blocking of some sort. It might be blocking the Steam connections as well.
-
Make a copy of the server, then remove all the mods from the copy and test if it still happens.
-
Interesting, could you check if any of the required Steam ports are perhaps blocked on either of your PCs or your router? You might try manually enabling them as well:

Yeah that is unfortunately the only idea I have, that something must be blocking the connection on their side. Some service providers might think that if you connect too often to a server as a DDOS, and would block the IP from connecting again, so it might be an issue there. Since it would not make sense that she can connect to every other server if it was an issue on your side.
-
Very weird... try using the StartServer_nosteam.bat file, then go to your Steam Library > Right click Project Zomboid > Properties > Set Launch Options > Type -nosteam > Start the game > Connect to this new Nosteam server.
This should take out Steam out of the picture, meaning if there are any issues with it, you should be able to connect to it now. This would help us get closer to the issue. -
It may be an issue with the mods as well, since some do not seem to work well with MacOS for some reason. Try joining the large server with a new username and create a new character, this will check if it is some sort of character issue as well.
-
Could you try setting the game to "Windowed" mode in your game Options and then try loading in the server again?
Additionally, when did this start happening? Did you do any updates on the Mac that might have caused the issue?
When i click in start in the steam library, the game doesnt start

Thanks, this is very unusual as it just seems to fail to load the game without any errors.
To further investigate, can you share the latest “hs_err_pid” file found in your main game folder “Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid”?
Additionally, do you perhaps have any controllers or joysticks connected to your PC?
