Issues running the game after reinstalling windows


Hats1278

Question

Hi Folks,

 

So I just did a clean reinstall of windows 10, and I reinstalled just firefox and steam to my PC. After I reinstalled Project Zomboid (completely vanilla, no mods), I was unable to run it -- when I hit play in steam, it would initiate for a moment, and nothing would happen.

 

I tried verifying the game files; restarting my PC; disabling windows firewall; reinstalling the graphics driver. But nothing seemed to work. Eventually I navigated to the game's install directory, and I was able to run the game through ProjectZomboid32, but I am still unable to run ProjectZomboid64, and I am still unable to launch the game through steam.

 

Do you guys have any idea what the issue may be? I have attached my dxdiag.

Hi! I actually figured out the issue -- I had to reinstall the Microsoft c++ redistributables from 2012, 2013, & 2019 found in this folder:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\vcredist

 

Just passing it on in case others encounter this issue.
