You can manually edit settings in the options.ini file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid
But what is the error?
But his trying to use a higher resolution
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
It only happens on windowed mode, right?
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
Not sure I follow, you mentioned that you cannot change to a specific resolution, right?
You can do that in the file to change to any resolution
@crude glade he can't play full-screen and windowed/borderless only works with wrong resolution of 1920x1017
Any resolution that isn't 1920x1017 makes the game not open
What resolution does his monitor have?
Can you share the logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?
The AMD driver seems to be outdated
Can you make sure to download and install the latest drivers?
its updated
The driver versions seems unusual, can you try enabling the OpenGL Triple Buffering option in the game settings?
Then retry
Cant find
Need to change in options.ini
Or in game?
Sorry I misspoke, I meant in your AMD Control panel, not the game settings
just changed to enabled
Now i open the game?
Yes
Can you screenshot your other AMD settings? Is anything else turned on?
Okay
Then retest
Still didnt open
Can you try using the Alternate launch option?
It specifies that the game fails to create the display window, do you have multiple displays perhaps?
Nop only have 1
Try going to “C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid” and delete everything there except the “Saves” folder.
This will reset the display settings
Deleted
And now not even the alternative launcher opens
Only open with normal launch and without opengl off
I am not sure I follow, since it did not open using the alternate launch before
Can you share the logs from the alternate launch?
Its the same folder?
Can you share a screenshot of your main game install folder?
the one with the game exe?
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?
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
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?
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
Windows 10
