davidde565 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 when i launch Project Zomboid a brief black screen appears with some code on it, before crashing. I'm sure the problem is on my end but I have so far not found a solution. I have tried: uninstalling and reinstalling, changing various codes in the options.ini file, turning steam overlay off whuile playing, and typing -novoip and -nosound into launch settings. I have copied and pasted the contents of my console.txt file onto pastebin which you can find via this link: https://pastebin.com/1tt7fjRR (I have successfully used Project Zomboid for a few hours before this problem started occurring) I would really appreciate any help on this issue- thanks in advance!

Beard Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Could you resend the console file? In this console file that you sent it looks like the game launches fine and you even join a server from the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidde565 Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 https://pastebin.com/1kF8NFXW i created a new one, here it is i can see quite few "MISSING" messages and "ERROR" messages just by skimming through it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Im sorry but comparing those two it looks like its the exact same console log. I cannot really find anything there that corresponds to the error you are describing that the game crashes before even launching. If you want you can attach the "logs.zip" file found in the Zomboid folder where the console log is. It contains the last 5 logs and I could probably find the correct one there.

davidde565 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 it says that my logs.zip file is invalid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think I have ever seen such an error. Could you share it another way then? Through Dropbox for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidde565 Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 I solved it? I deleted everything in the Project Zomboid folder in the c drive intending to remove all trace of the game and restart. I quickly decided to start the game from steam and it worked as normal, although I have not tried to play it yet. Will this cause problems down the line for me you think?

If it launches normally there should be a pretty low risk of anything going wrong. I would assume that some files became corrupted and deleting them would have fixed that.

aelytra Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 fyi: if logs.zip is corrupt the game crashes on startup. I've created this topic to track it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
