Help a poor mac user out? Multiplayer troubles

Dean Swangbrose · March 8, 2014

So far, I had issues with the single player of the window coming up and then crashing while in black load screen, BUT, I fixed that by updating my java.

Now, I can play single player without any hitches, but I'm experiencing something similar with the multiplayer build. It opens up into the main page - which shows project zomboid "Hello doomed survivor! welcome to project zomboid early access!" on this beige-colored screen.

"For those having issues when getting into Zomboid peril: * Got a black screen when only the UI is visible? Click BLACK SCREEN WORKAROUND button. (Compatibility Mode) * Zomboid crashes? Try turning off the Steam overlay. * We�re hard at work fixing these issues, but if you have any other problemifications � our handy Tech FAQ might help. * Still experiencing woe? Our Support forums are right here. You can also report bugs here. Like hardcore survival games? TRY NEO SCAVENGER"

So, from here, when I try to launch PZ or compatibility mode, I get similar results to my initial single player attempts - game appears to start up and then crashes while in black loading screen. Idk what it could be since the single player opens just fine.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Find your info.plist file (you can see instructions here on how to get there) and change

 <key>JVMMainClassName</key>        	<string>zombie/ZomboidLauncher</string>

to

 <key>JVMMainClassName</key>        	<string>zombie/gameStates/MainScreenState</string>

And let me know if that works?

I pulled up that video, and followed the instructions, so now I have the terminal open. Currently I am sitting on the same screen that I was able to open before (beige start up with options), and do not see the code you are referring to. I am now going to launch the game which will crash it, and see what the terminal says.

After running the game which indeed crashed again, I get a bunch of info, but none looks familiar to what you posted.

I'll share my results (I hope it's not too much trouble, thank you for trying to help me):
