B42; crashing upon spawning into the world

[torpid snow]

I disabled my B41 mods from the "mods" section in the main menu, and then switched to B42, after I realized that this could be the issue.

But even then, I still crash when I try to spawn into the world, for some reason, on build 42... Seems to eb a mass issue though

[amber talon]

I have the same issue,

[torpid snow]

Here's my debug.log file By the way, for mroe info on all of this

[amber talon]

right after the "This is how you died screen" the game eventually freezes and anytime I try to ALT TAB or click it just crashes/does the "This program is not responding" and that whole spiel

I'll get my debug.log in abit

[torpid snow]

"ERROR: Mannequin zone missing properties in media/maps/Muldraugh, KY/objects.lua at 13583,1299,0."

This is what is present in each of the logs, this exact error lol... Manequin... 💀

[amber talon]

I have also verified game files once already so I doubt that'll be a perfect fix if anyone is thinking of that already

[sudden spade]

Verify integrity of game files in steam, make sure your drivers are up to date, then start the game again

[amber talon]

no longer getting frozen, just closes the game by itself without warning - weird

[torpid snow]

@here I'll try an "alternate launch" option rn and tell u all if it'd work there then

[torpid snow]

Verified my game's files as well

[amber talon]

awesome

thanks tons

[torpid snow]

Crashed again. Nevermind.

This time I was "out of memory" error, never had this issue on B41 to eb honest both no vanilla dn heavily-modded game

and earlier, there was another error related to some manequin in Muldraugh, KY...

[amber talon]

ive never had an issue with zomboid in general that i can think of

except for maybe the unstable branch for b41 but thats about it

[fickle copper]

As a first step, I suggest you go to “C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid” and delete everything there except the “Saves” folder.

[torpid snow]

What's next then?

Just launch the game or?

[amber talon]

Just did this, tutorial seems to work (just decided to try it out for shits and giggles)

[torpid snow]

Ima try it now too then

Nvm, crashed even when I tried joining a tutorial world lol

[fickle copper]

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

[amber talon]

Tutorials seem to work but no luck with the 'main gamemode' (i guess you'd say)

[torpid snow]

This is the one when I tried to join an "apocalypse" preset world and crashed upon spawning, as I understand

[torpid snow]

Oh it says "out of memory", though I never even had memory issues with B41 at all

Then is there any way to increase the amount of memory the game may use, in some game's file????

[fickle copper]

It should really not run out of memory, you have enough on your system

Could you confirm that you have Texture Compression enabled in the game options?

[torpid snow]

A second, I'll check

[torpid snow]

Yep, it seems to be enabled there

I also turned off "high-resolution items", lowered water quality and some other options and it still crashed (tried on tutorial world)

[fickle copper]

Hm, I do not have a leat at the moment, could you try restoring your Intel settings to defaults? Just to check if something is forcing any settings there:

[torpid snow]

They're on defaults, though, still the same issue's present

[fickle copper]

Could you try restarting the PC and then try replicating the issue again and double checking the err pid files?

Since one shows a lightning error and one shows the out of memory issue

I want to see if one of them was a fluke to check for the main issue

[torpid snow]

Ok then, I'll do so rn and see what happens

Now something begins to download now, but it's stuck on 0%

(wonder if those are some bug fixes, or just mods, as if those are updated mods, it's fine to stop the download then)

[fickle copper]

You can generally hover over the " I " letter in the circle that will tell you

[torpid snow]

Oh ye, thanks, those were mods. I'll try running the game now then without this download

This is the newest error file I guess

Oh nevermind

a second

This is the latest error file, here

[fickle copper]

Hm, could you try using the "Alternate Launch" option when you launch the game through Steam?

You can see it when you click Play

[torpid snow]

I'll try it now, ok

Now it first crashes, as it seems. I created my character, waited while everything'd load, and clicked on "start" in the bottom side of the screen. Everything turned black just then, the game seemingly crashed for some reason, and a minute later, it simply restarts itself somehow

[fickle copper]

Hm, just to check something can you confirm that you have the pagefile enabled?
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-manage-virtual-memory-pagefile-windows-10,36929.html

It should be preferably set to "automatic" or "system managed"

[torpid snow]

OMG I ENABLED VSYNC AND IT SOMEHOW WORKED

Then, I loaded into the save that crashed for me previously, and everyhting seems to work just OK right now

I set my max FPS to 60 and enabled vsync option

[fickle copper]

Hmm, keep me up to date to see if it stays like that

[torpid snow]

Ok then, thanks for helping

@amber talon also try that too

I crashed again. It happened after opening the in-game map, and then ressing ESC button. I clicked on controls panel there to change the key button to stop time but the game suddenly crashed

Before it happened, everything was running smoothly

[fickle copper]

Could you try capping the framerate lower?

[torpid snow]

I'll try now then

Also, just tried to open map again after loading into the save save, and nothing crashed this time, strange

[torpid snow]

It crashed recently when I tried to look around, as there were like 80 zombies walking behind me

And when they were about to render, the game somehow crashed. Even though this horde did render a minute earleir without causing any crash

[fickle copper]

At this point, I would suggest making a bug report with the console + err pid:

Since it looks like older graphics cards might be hit hard with some of the optimizations
