[analog breach]

Does anyone know why, when I try to host a server on B42 and create my character, the moment I click "play" I'm immediately sent back to the start menu?

Do you have any mods enabled perhaps? Or even installed?

[analog breach]

Nope

Can you share your logs.zip file found in %UserProfile%\Zomboid?

I cannot find any specific issues in the log, can you forward this as a bug report so it gets investigated furhter?

theres anything i can do?

[cloud tangle]

Forward it as a bug report, otherwise not at the moment

Unless you want to try hosting a dedicated server on your PC? That would work

[analog breach]

[analog breach]
