Game doesn’t allow me to play Multiplayer

[uneven ravine]

What error are you receiving ?

[loud halo]

got any mods?

if no, verify game files

oop

[short wadi]

Non that’s the weird thing?

Okay let me try this

Best way of verifying files?

[uneven ravine]

You normally do it via Steam.

To solve the issue we need to know what error you are getting.

[short wadi]

That’s the weird part, I’m not getting an error, loads then “black screen” back into desktop with nothing

[loud halo]

might still give a crash log

not sure where to find those logs tho

[short wadi]

Okay I’ll Google

[uneven ravine]

If you have any mods enabled, try creating a new modless save and see if the issue persists.
If you have an AMD graphics card then make sure to download the latest drivers.

If none of the listed: share the Console txt file found in User\User\Zomboid here.

Don’t have an AMD card

Also no mods yet, first day planned on playing vanilla with a friend

If none of the listed: share the Console txt file found in User\User\Zomboid here.

[short wadi]

Couldn’t find it…

[loud halo]

C:/Users/youruser/Zomboid/Logs

[short wadi]

No luck again?

“Turns console on, sells pc”

[uneven ravine]

Do you copy paste the path? Don't do it, just search it manually.

[short wadi]

Been typing manually

[loud halo]

dont type it

[uneven ravine]

Don't type

[loud halo]

navigate the path

go to your C:/

then find your users or whatever language your pc uses

then you'll find your user's name as a folder

in that folder will be documents and downloads and stuff, but also a "Zomboid" folder

And in that folder is a "Logs" folder

[short wadi]

Yep found it

[uneven ravine]

Share the Console txt file

[loud halo]

(aka DebugLog.txt i believe)

[uneven ravine]

If we need logs we will ask for it.

[short wadi]

Yep, white page with a load of logs

Speaking another language rn sorry lads

[uneven ravine]

Drag the file in here

[loud halo]

drag that log into the discord

[uneven ravine]

Best not to confuse our users with other files we didn't ask for 😉

[short wadi]

dunno if that is correct

[uneven ravine]

Do you have any antivirus programs installed on your computer ?

[short wadi]

Just windows defender

Don't do no naughty stuff

[uneven ravine]

Could you find a random vanilla server, join it and screenshot the issue if you fail to connect again

and then share the console txt file again

[short wadi]

sure

Erm says Windows 10, I am using 11 not sure if that is an issue

[uneven ravine]

and screenshot of the error? Need to see the actual message when it fails to connect

[short wadi]

I am not getting one dude

Just closes the game no pop ups or nothing

[uneven ravine]

as soon as you click Join your game crashes to the desktop?

[short wadi]

Yeah

With no reason

[loud halo]

@uneven ravine

is this normal?

500 mb of memory free seems a tad bit low

or am i just stupid

(idk im just tryna help lol)

[uneven ravine]

Could you share the hs_err_pid file as well found in Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid

[short wadi]

It isnt there, could that be because that is on my HHD?

Think I'm just going to refund lads, Thanks for the help but I'm out of my element

[loud halo]

Alright, I hope that someday the issue gets fixed and you'd be willing to give the game another try

[short wadi]

For sure dude

[loud halo]

🫡god speed

[short wadi]

Have a good Christmas

[loud halo]

You too man i hope you enjoy it

NOOOOOOOO
