Black scren after 'this is how you died"

[Fimbulvetr]

Hey there. I've just got the game and I can't go beyond the "this is how you died" message. I have the main menu, options and music alright, but I always need to exit the game. I posted the  console.txt

My drivers are uptodate , java as well.

Any hints?

You can click Escape bottom on your keyboard and then exit from the pause menu

Are you on a Mac? This was occurring for Mac users on the Vehicles branch but they seem to have fixed this issue today- mine loads in fine.

If you are a Mac user on the Vehicles branch give it another go, otherwise disregard this message

I don't really want to exit though. I want to start a new (first) game

What I mean to exit is to exit the game you were playing. Because for me when I die it stay with two options that just close the entire game. But if you click escape the pause menu appears and you can exit that 'game'. 
If that does't work then it's a glitch maybe?

I think you misunderstand me.

My problem appears after I start the game when I firs tget to the main menu. and when I start a new game, It loads up for a while and then it says error and the game shuts down

[Veromaye]

AHH! Sorry! I totally misread it! 

Hmm, well that never happened to me and I have no idea how to fix it ): . Maybe the game crashes because high options of video? If it's not that then I can't help. Maybe wait for some staff to help you. 
Most of the time deleting the Zomboid folder helps. So you can try it if you don't have any save you want to lose 

[Fimbulvetr]

Which folder do you mean? The one in my documents or the installation one?

looking at the console.txt you provided it looks like it tried to spawn you off the map? (or at least at a undefined square)

 

java.lang.RuntimeException: can't create player at x,y,z=158,157,0 because the square is null
 

Any extra maps or mods installed?

*EDIT* Nevermind, taking a second look I can see you dont

You may want to switch to the IWBUMS build, as this error

java.lang.RuntimeException: can't create player at x,y,z=158,157,0 because the square is null
    at zombie.iso.IsoWorld.init(IsoWorld.java:1944)
    at zombie.gameStates.GameLoadingState$1.runInner(GameLoadingState.java:246)
    at zombie.gameStates.GameLoadingState$1.run(GameLoadingState.java:221)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

has been fixed there.

 

Otherwise, try playing a different game mode, instead of the tutorial. They should work so long as they include the Muldraugh, KY map.

I'm a bit of a noob, so would you translate that in simple step-by-step instructions for me to do?

I can choose different scenarios but I really would like to play the tutorial though. Any thoughts on that?
