Okay, I'll try that again, but this time I'll check to see if any files or folders are left behind. By the way, I think it'll take about an hour for Steam to uninstall the game and download it again. Thanks so much for your reply! 

I appreciate the level of detail you have provided though, I will pass it on to them

Can you try doing a full reinstall? First, uninstall the game, then go to "Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid" and make sure there are no leftover files or folders there. After that, go to “%UserProfile%\Zomboid” and delete everything there except the “Saves” folder. Then just install the game again and see if that helps.

Apologies, replied to the wrong post initially. This is something we are aware of and it's with the devs to investigate, until then we have found that disabling overlays and increasing RAM allocation can help slow down the crashes even if it's not entirely stopping them.

Build: 42.19.0 Unstable OS: Windows 10 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mods: No active mods / vanilla Issue: The game takes a very long time to reach the main menu. During startup, console.txt shows: attempted index: getLoadedBindingSets of non-table: null Lua(Vanilla).populateFromLoadedSets(gamepadBinding.lua:125) Lua(Vanilla).gamepadBinding(gamepadBinding.lua:176) When opening Options and pressing ACCEPT, logs.zip shows repeated errors: attempted index: saveAll of non-table: null Lua(Vanilla).saveAll(gamepadBinding.lua:70) Lua(Vanilla).apply(MainOptions.lua:3787) This seems related to the new controller remapping/gamepad customization added in 42.19.0. logs.zip
