grammarsalad Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I'm getting random crashes when playing version 41.50. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it, but it often happens when I get injured in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandorea Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 First of all - are you using any mods? If so, could you disable them and try a pure vanilla game to see if it helps, please? You could also share the "console.txt" file found in "C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid" to a site like pastebin.com and then post a link to that here so we can take a look. Also, tell us your system specifications (ram and graphics card esp) to see if they meet minimum requirements for B41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My specs (from memory but I checked them yesterday to make sure my drivers were up to date) are: Windows 10 dell, 16 mb ram, Intel hg4600. 64-bit GoG version. Edit: would the log still be available if I’ve uninstalled it and installed the older version? I don’t know how to check or where to find it Edited May 4, 2021 by grammarsalad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how to check or where to find it The specs barely meet the minimum requirements to run B41, unfortunately. Still, there are a couple of things that you could try! 1) download the latest driver for the graphics card + try launching and running the game in 32 bit mode: Go to "Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid" and run the game with "ProjectZomboid32". 2) lower any settings in Options - try things like "enable Texture Compression", lower resolution, turn down puddle quality and the like. Hope this helps! grammarsalad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps! @Pandorea I’ve tried all that. no go... does this mean that I won’t be able to play the game when version 41 finally comes out, or is this beta specific?

Beard Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 You can try this experimental fix: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2441122190 Other than that, there will be a Java update in the future that might fix this issue for older computers, though it might not so no promises. In which case I don't know if there will be any fix since the graphics card wont be able to handle PZ at that point. The previous builds will always be available and stable though, so you can always play those. grammarsalad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the main problem is the graphics card, basically any dedicated card should work. Glad you got it to work though. grammarsalad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
