Hellooo. :3

Nope, I don't get any errors

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit

Processor: Intel® Core i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz
Graphics Card: Intel® HD Graphics
Total RAM: 3.8 GB

If you need more - tell.

 

Well, when I try to open game with 64bit - black command windows is open, but after some seconds it end. So I must open game in 32 bits, but it's another problem - the game crash. ;x

Hey Stradlin,

can you try downloading the following file, and extracting the batch files to your default PZ folder:

 

 

PZ-BatFiles.zip (720 Bytes)
 

For the folder to extract to, in your case, using Desura, it' probably here:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Desura\Common\Project Zomboid\

 

Then, try going to that folder, and try starting the game using either the PZ32 or PZ64 batch files. When the game crashes, the command window should stay open, and hopefully give some more detail on the crash...

I updated my drivers.

PZ64bit didn't works, it's black cmd box started for 2 seconds, then ends. ;x

So, it's crash report from PZ32bit;

It's necessary to update your display driver directly through Intel, using a generic driver, if necessary:http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022355.htm (assuming this is a laptop, follow the work-around).

My guess is that it is a video driver error. Someone had a driver crash in quake with the same 0x00005 access violation. There it was possibly related to hardware gamma being used. I presume zomboid uses a feature (shader?) nonexistent for your graphics card which your driver doesn't handle gracefully. I don't know if zomboid can offer a workaround. Perhaps a dev can offer more insight.

 

There was a shader issue fixed in .14, if you haven't tried this already, download the latest version and see if you can start the game. Alternatively you could try the zomboid safe mode batch file... I don't know what it does, but typically safe mode is meant to be less driver intensive leaving out the exciting features.

It is.

 

Did you follow the guide posted above? The source of the driver matters in the extreme . . .

Go into Device Manager, click on Display Adapters and select your graphics card. Go to the drivers tab and take a screenshot or copy and paste its details, such as driver provider, driver date, driver version, and digital signer.

YES, I UPDATED MY DRIVERS.

Wersja sterownika - driver version

Podpis cyfrowy - digital signature or somethin like that

Aktualizuj sterownik - update driver

Przywróć sterownik - bring back driver

Well, my problem is integrated graphics cart. ;x

I think, in RC3 the problem won't excist and I will play Zomboid only with smile on my face.

Others with integrated Core 3s have been able to get this version of the game running.

I don't think version 3 will suddenly make you have the right driver for your system.

It's a screenshot what I can see while I'm playin' Zomboid.

Anyone know what I must to do?
