My game keeping crashing in 42.13.1

[thin rover]

That's it, I know it's because of memory but I don't know how to solve it. I haven't even managed to open a game save file, it just crashes everything

[floral burrow]

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

[thin rover]

im actually so fucking annoyed, ive been trying to fix this for the past 8 hours or so. still havent been able to play. now the problem isnt memory i think but some mod or an issue with corrupted mod config files

[thin rover]

here you go

[floral burrow]

Are you able to reproduce the issue without mods first?

Since this channel is for Vanilla technical issues, issues caused by mods go to #mod_support

[thin rover]

C'mon

[thin rover]

yes my game also crashes without any mods apparently

[floral burrow]

Can you share the logs from that modless attempt in that case?

[thin rover]

Yes give me 5 min

[thin rover]

its here

[thin rover]

no mods active. only downloaded, also, my game either opens and immidately crashes or it doesnt even open and dies on start up

i have also verified game files 3 times, uninstalled and reinstalled the game in all the different build 42 available versions, all showing the same results

[floral burrow]

Throws out this error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3519087048\mods\NowYouCanLootIt\42\icon.png

So again it seems to try loading mods?

Can you unsubscribe from that mod, then retry

[thin rover]

ok give me 1 min to do it

ok im opening the game

ok so the game opened significantly faster lemme see if it stays open

[thin rover]

it crashed when i tried to open a new singleplayer save.

[floral burrow]

Hm, the other issue is that your RAM seems very misconfigured

Did you change any of the default settings?

What is your total RAM?

[thin rover]

yes i did change them quite a bit

i have 16gb ram

[thin rover]

i changed the projectzomboid64.bat and the projectzomboid64.json

[floral burrow]

And do you have any custom Java mods installed?

[thin rover]

should it be like this in launch options?

[floral burrow]

Preferably do not use any custom RAM changes

I would suggest rolling them back

[thin rover]

but why?

[floral burrow]

And what about the Java mods? I can see in your logs you are loading something

[floral burrow]

Because you may be crashing due to assigning too much RAM

[floral burrow]

Use the default

[floral burrow]

Also remove that

[thin rover]

how?

i tried runing the installer again to see if an option appeared to uninstall but nothing appears

[thin rover]

.

[floral burrow]

Its best you reinstall the whole game at that point

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.

[thin rover]

ok ill try

ok im in the process of deleting everything

[thin rover]

@floral burrow I've now reinstalled the game, the crashing seems to be gone, however I still get the mods isn't a valid workshop item id error

Yeah no the crashing is back apparently

[floral burrow]

Back after what? Did you enable mods?

Is it the same error? Can you share the logs again?

[thin rover]

Ok so the game opened and didn't crash in vanilla
