passwortfalsch Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Game does not start after recent update. Following message pops up: Fatal Error Steam must be running to play this game (SteamAPI_Init() failed). Edit: Found a workaround on the GOG forums: Open the file 'ProjectZomboid64.site.json' using notepad and edit this line, from '"-Dzomboid.steam=1", to '"-Dzomboid.steam=0", saved it and fired up the game. Edited June 15, 2018 by passwortfalsch Added workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladylake85 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) I've posted on this also, before I saw your post. My game is starting now but crashing on load. Edited June 15, 2018 by ladylake85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Weird, double-checked before uploading. Looking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 My fault, as I relied on Steam to provide a fresh, virgin copy -- forgetting that it wouldn't purge extraneous files. A json file for debugging issues with the GC (.site.json) was left in. Sorry, everyone. Will keep an eye out for it in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faalagorn Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 If it's resolved, shouldn't the bug be closed ;)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
