Hi, i have tried launching the game in steam. I pressed "play", for few second then it goes back to "play" again. It forced closed the game for no reason.

Can someone help me to solve my problem? I really wanted to play the game.

Can you try using the "Alternate launch" option when launching the game through Steam? If the game fails to start again, can you share your console.txt file, found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?

You generally get a faster answer here than on the forums.

#

Plus you will still just talk to me and only me

#

Regardless, the same answer would apply as I said on the forums

#

"Can you share the latest “hs_err_pid” file found in your main game folder “Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid”?"

Hi Beard, thank you for the tips.

#

Please check this one.

Can see the error here:

C [atioglxx.dll+0x1e71a0]

What does it means?

#

Seems like it is an AMD driver issue based on these posts

#

Meaning I recommend fully reinstalling your AMD driver

#

And make sure you install the latest version for your graphics card

crimson compass
#

Ok sure, should i reinstall the game as well?

ocean igloo
#

Should not be necessary

crimson compass
#

Ok thank you very much

#

i will try

#

i will report you back

crimson compass
#

Hey, I tried doing what you said

#

Still the same...

ocean igloo
#

Installed it from here?

crimson compass
#

Wait a sec...

#

Hello, yes I have reinstalled everything.

#

And what i see is my driver is always up to date to its latest version

#

do i need to reinstall both?

#

i only reinstall the radeon 530..

ocean igloo
#

How are you checking if the driver is up to date?

#

And yes preferably you would reinstall both

crimson compass
#

My AMD control panel told me that the version is up to date sir..

#

I tried unninstall the 530 series, and left the vega 3 alone. The game can be played.

ocean igloo
#

Unusual, it would seem like some sort of incompatibility with the drivers

#

Probably because the Vega 3 is a newer graphics card than the 530 one
