Whenever I open the the game it's just a black screen

[ValEzra]

So I bought this game yesterday. And whenever I open the game it's just a black screen. So I was wondering if any of you can help.Because I open the game and it's just a black screen.

Try going to the C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid folder and edit the options.ini file.

In that file, edit the fullscreen=true line to fullscreen=false

Then try launching the game again.

I did it. But now it's just a white screen. Could it be because of my system requirements or what. 

[Beard]

Yes that is possible, what are your PC requirements?
And can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?

 I have a Intel(R) Pentium(R) Silver J5005 CPU @ 1.50GHz a 4gb ram and a 64 bit operating system.

The graphics card should theoretically run the game, but the RAM amount is definitely below our minimum requirement amount.
I can only suggest a driver update, you will need to download and install the latest drivers for your specific graphics card from your manufacturer's website (Intel)

You can also try going to “Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid” and run the game using the “ProjectZomboid32.bat” file.

 

Now if that does not fix your issue either, I can only recommend switching to the older "Legacy" game versions by going to your Steam Library > Right click Project Zomboid > Properties > Betas > Select the Legacy 40 or older versions.
