You can manually edit settings in the options.ini file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid

serene bison
#

his game is in 1920x1017 and we need 1920x1080 to works

#

Thats 63 pixels height that it wont change

#

And if we try to change using the options.ini it just gets a black screen and the game wont open anymore

#

Oh no

#

Windowed mode opens the game in 1920x1017 but we cant change in the settings

#

Bordeless is the same opens the game in 1920x1017 but we cant change in the settings

#

And fullscreen doesnt open the game

crude glade
#

You can do that in the file to change to any resolution

serene bison
#

@crude glade he can't play full-screen and windowed/borderless only works with wrong resolution of 1920x1017

60hz

#

Zoom/Size 100%

crude glade
#

Can you share the logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?

serene bison
#

Ywp

#

Just a sec

#

@crude glade sorry for the delay

crude glade
#

Can you make sure to download and install the latest drivers?

serene bison
crude glade
# serene bison its updated

The driver versions seems unusual, can you try enabling the OpenGL Triple Buffering option in the game settings?

#

Then retry

serene bison
#

Need to change in options.ini

#

Or in game?

crude glade
#

Sorry I misspoke, I meant in your AMD Control panel, not the game settings

serene bison
#

just changed to enabled

crude glade
#

Yes

serene bison
#

Didnt open

crude glade
#

Can you screenshot your other AMD settings? Is anything else turned on?

serene bison
crude glade
#

This should be disabled

serene bison
#

Okay

crude glade
#

Then retest

serene bison
#

Still didnt open

crude glade
#

Can you try using the Alternate launch option?

serene bison
#

Nop

crude glade
# serene bison

It specifies that the game fails to create the display window, do you have multiple displays perhaps?

serene bison
#

Nop only have 1

crude glade
#

Try going to “C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid” and delete everything there except the “Saves” folder.

#

This will reset the display settings

serene bison
#

Deleted

#

And now not even the alternative launcher opens

#

Only open with normal launch and without opengl off

crude glade
#

Can you share the logs from the alternate launch?

serene bison
crude glade
#

It contains text and errors, you can copy that text

serene bison

Can you share a screenshot of your main game install folder?

serene bison
crude glade
#

Yes

All seems fine here, you mentioned that you are only able to launch the game in Windowed / Borderless modes?

#

Is there any issue with the Borderless mode setting?

serene bison
#

Yep

#

But I cant change its settings

#

So it becomes a bordeless but without fullscreen so it shows the desktop on the top e bottom

crude glade
#

That should not happen, since borderless mode should scale on top of the taskbar

#

Does it happen with the Triple Buffering option on or off?

serene bison
#

Off

#

But my game gives a blackscreen with triple buffering on

crude glade
#

That really should not happen, what Windows version are you on?

#

I would suggest checking if you have any pending Windows updates

#

Since the Triple Buffering may require your windows to be up to date

serene bison
#

Windows 10

crude glade
#

I see that might be a problem, since the improvements are mainly for Windows 11

#

Not sure I can suggest much in that case.

#

You can disable the taskbar when playing the game for example
