ctd before main screen

[Suomiboi]

Hey,

 

I think I'm having the same problem and error code as here on v.2.9.9.19, and found the environment variables list but there's no _JAVA_OPTIONS. This occured after installing the windows 8.1 update and the 2.9.9.19 version of zomboid. I installed both of them one after another so don't know which could be the cause. I reinstalled java and drivers after the windows update and also tried a clean install of PZ.

 

Sorry for reposting this, but I accidentally put this on an answered thread and I don't think it got noticed because of that.

 

Environment variables:

 

The user variables I have are:

AV_APPDATA

TEMP

TMP

 

and the system ones:

asl.log

ComSpec

FP_NO_HOST_CHECK

NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS

OS

Path

PATHTEXT

PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE

PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER

PROCESSOR_LEVEL

PROCESSOR_REVISION

PSModulePath

TEMP

TMP

USERNAME

windir

 

 

Here's the console just before ctd

After this has run, the game immediately crashes.

 

here's the error log:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: zombie.gameStates.MainScreenState

And specs:

RAM:4G
OS:Windows 8.1 PRO, 32bit
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 640

hmm "pixel format not accelerated"

have you tried reinstalling or downloading the latest graphics drivers?

 

"Pixel format not accelerated indicates that you need to ensure you have a proper display driver installed. Windows 7 (and Steam) often install a generic driver from Microsoft that just doesn't cut it for this game.

Go to the website of your specific video card manufacturer (Nvidia) and download the latest driver for your card directly from them. If you receive any prompts that you need to use a manufacturer-specific driver, well . . . we'll try to work through it by forcing a generic, up to date, driver.

Just be sure to turn  your computer off and back on again after installing the new driver, otherwise you'll get the same error."

Just to double check, are you trying compatibility mode or normal mode? Have you tried both?

[lemmy101]

If that doesn't work (and assuming you're on Steam) try disabling Steam overlay in the Steam properties?

[Suomiboi]

@Rath I've tried both compatibility and normal so it's not that.

I'm thinking it's the driver since I noticed that EU4 was giving a gpu memory error which has never happened before...

Anyways thanks for the tips guys! I didn't have time to do it all today but I'll hopefully get back on it tomorrow!

[Suomiboi]

Ok, I got it working by doing a clean install on the driver. I think I might have accidentally tried Zomboid before restarting the pc after installing the drivers.

 

Thanks for your help guys! (clyde)

"Failed to find valuemode 1280x1011 fullscreen=true"

seems like your resolution got messed up, try deleting the options.ini or changing to a valid resolution. or disable fullscreen..

options.ini is in your user folder in the zomboid folder

[Suomiboi]

Thanks for that. It did do something, but I'm still getting the ctd.

 

The error message changed slightly and the "Failed to find valuemode 1280x1011 fullscreen=true" disappeared.

Here's the new one:

I did reinstall the latest driver from nvidias site just after the windows 8.1 update, but I'll try it again if there was something amiss...
