#Problem connecting to a friend's server (not screen sharing)

Hello,

I have several minor issues and one major issue.
The minor issues are that I cannot use Shift+Tab to open the Steam menu and I experience FPS drops when I use Alt+Tab.

The major issue is that the game crashes while loading to join a friend's server (not split screen). I get to the point where the world is initialising, then it freezes completely. I wait 5-6 minutes before getting a message saying that the connection is impossible. I tried again and there was a change. I get to the world loading stage and the game encounters an unknown error that sends me to a text file, which I will send to you.

Are you able to join any random public servers?

# azure mist no i can't join anything

In that case, can you try doing a full reinstall?
First, uninstall the game, then go to "Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid" and make sure there are no leftover files or folders there.
After that, go to “%UserProfile%\Zomboid” and delete everything there except the “Saves” folder.
Then just install the game again and see if that helps.
