Can you share your console.txt file found in C:\\Zomboid? Since that should be the new location for the logs as set by the cachedir command.

That is unusual, can you first try running the game again using the Standard launch? This is because the Alternate launch that shows the console as seen in your screenshot does not use the parameters you applied.
After that, check the C drive again for the Zomboid folder, since it is possible you did not use the standard launch before applying the cachedir parameter.

Sorry for the delay, I was very frustrated with not being able to play. I tried running it like this and there is no folder other than the one I created. Do you have any idea what it could be?

Try changing the path from C:/Zomboid to the D: drive instead, then launch using the standard launch as you show in your screenshot, then check the D drive for the Zomboid folder.

Try

 

-cachedir="C:\Zomboid"

 

 

From the first screenshots, you can see that the equals sign is missing and so the game is treating it as two  separate options, so it never gets applied. I'm not sure if you made the change to start options after those screenshots or before, since the = is present.

 

Otherwise everything should be in the following path, not Steam\Common

 

C:Users\mathe\zonboid\

I pasted what you sent here, but even so, the game didn't run. I did it like this, is that right?

but the only path I found on my computer about Zomboid was C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid. Do you have any ideas?

im getting this erro when running ProjectZomboid32.bat

After writing that command, you have to run the game through your Steam Library > Play. Do not select Alternate launch there or use the .bat files, since the new cachedir will not apply.
Your error basically shows that it cannot create the Zomboid folder in the User folder. The cachedir command changes it to the C drive instead.

Yes it should be. You can also test if you can run the game normally through the Play button now, so you do not need to keep launching it as an admin.
