Try also going to your Zomboid folder and delete the "mods" folder found there.
If that does not help, then unfortunately it looks like a rare bug that affects hosted servers at this moment, I do not have any other workaround for it. The only other way to host servers would be installing the dedicated server on your PC. -

Yes, it seems to point to nvoglv being the cause of the crash, which is the Nvidia OpenGL driver. I can only recommend reinstalling your drivers fully to see if that helps fix the issue, you can see about similar problems in the links below with other OpenGL apps;

The logs seem to point to it being a graphics driver issue, but just to confirm that, can you check the Windows Reliability monitor for any ProjectZomboid application crashes there? If you do find any, can you share a screenshot of the Technical Details section so we can check the errors that show up there?

The game itself cannot cause system crashes, since a system crash is always either hardware related or a problem with the Windows. You should see a blue screen with information about the crash when it happens.
Can you check the Windows Reliability monitor for any ProjectZomboid application or any hardware crashes there? If you do find any, can you share a screenshot of the Technical Details section so we can check the errors that show up there?

Your PC does not fulfill the minimum requirements for the game as written on the Steam page.
I can only recommend switching to the older "Legacy" game versions by going to your Steam Library > Right click Project Zomboid > Properties > Betas > Select the Legacy 40 or older versions. -
Can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?
-
The issue seems to be caused by the mods you have enabled, but they do not show sufficient logs to point to the specific mods.
Are you able to create a new settings configuration with the same mods and start the server there? If not, I can only recommend removing the other mods to see which one causes the issue. -
Mac computers with the latest M1-M3 chips are not supported as written on the Steam page, issues will be expected on them, such as various resolution problems.
However, you could try fixing them by either setting the game to Windowed or Borderless modes.
Additionally, you may need to go to your Mac Display settings and make sure the Display Scaling is disabled there, since that can cause the issues with scaling the game. -
Could you try sharing the game logs again in that case? Just to confirm that the drivers have been updated successfully.
Additionally, can you check the Windows Reliability monitor for any ProjectZomboid application crashes there? If you do find any, can you share a screenshot of the Technical Details section so we can check the errors that show up there?

There is a problem with your game install, as if there were files there that should not be there, such as an opengl file, which should not be in the game folder.
I would either recommend removing thsoe files if you put them there, or if you did not, do a full game reinstall
First, uninstall the game, then go to "Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid" and make sure there are no leftover files or folders there.
Then just install the game again and see if that helps. -
The issue seems to be due to you having an outdated driver.
Can you try downloading and installing the latest drivers for your graphics card?

I tried disconecting the Joystick from the computer, i opened the game and it worked. but when i clicked to start it crashed.
That is progress, can you in that case share the console.txt file found in the C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid folder? Or you can screenshot the alternate launch window again, the window should stay open even if the game crashes and show the error messages at the end.
Additionally, new err_pid files might be created after this crash when you click to start, which would be different from the ones you already shared, since the issue is different now. Therefore, can you share these new files as well? -
This message should not be related to your issue, the pauses are only a few milliseconds long, you can read that in the rest of the message.
Instead, the crashes sound more severe, can you share the hs_err_pid files found in the main folder where the server is installed and started from? -
Try going to the C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid folder and edit the options.ini file with a text editor.
In that file, edit the fullscreen=true line to fullscreen=false
Then try launching the game again.
This is to test if the issue happens in Windowed mode as well. -
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? -
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.

Are you able to join other servers? Does the server have any mods enabled? If it does, can you try logging in with a different username as a test?
