The game window will not show up when I try to start Project Zomboid ,but steam says its running.

The title is the problem I feel like ive done everything im looking for some help. I don't have any mods and im trying to play on build 41. I only just bought the game and I don't play on PC that much ,but this game made me dust the PC off.

Check out this comment for an explanation as to what might cause that issue and how to fix it.

Well I ran the bat file even though I don't have any antivirus installed besides the normal windows antivirus and now I have a black screen with commands but still no actual game menu ,but its still progress. Was there something in that comment that was going to help that I may have overlooked.

Make sure you have no mods enabled if you cannot see the game menu.
If you still cannot see it after getting rid of the mods, then try going to "C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid" and attach the "console.txt" from there to your reply so we can check the game logs.

That it

 

[Beard]

Your graphics card is way below the minimum requirements needed to run build 41, since you have an integrated HD 2000 card, you would need at minimum a HD 4000 to even run the game unfortunately.
Meaning it is unlikely you will be able to run 41 on this computer, though the previous version should run fine since there are no new models and animations in those builds.

Okay thanks then im going to go back to a previous build you jave been really helpful thanks
