Do you have any mods enabled? Does it happen without them?

uncut glacier Feb 17, 2026, 7:24 AM

#

I first had mods enabled, then I tried it without any

#

I still get the same error

lime swan Feb 17, 2026, 12:26 PM

#

If it happens without mods, can you share your logs.zip file found in %UserProfile%\Zomboid?

I've moved to outdatedunstable, but i'll see if i can recreate it and move back to 42.14

We can only accept bug reports from the actual latest version unfortunately.

uncut glacier Feb 17, 2026, 6:55 PM

#

lime swan Feb 17, 2026, 7:08 PM

#

Last logs still show several mods

uncut glacier Feb 18, 2026, 7:30 PM

#

It's still in there?

#

Hm

#

Let me try a fresh install

uncut glacier Feb 19, 2026, 12:10 AM

#

Oh wait I think I know what it is

#

I had a java mod installed that tried to fix the 110 limit in trunks

uncut glacier Feb 19, 2026, 6:51 AM

#

Ok that did not fix the issue it seems

I might suggest doing a clean reinstall in case of any mod or even game update leftovers.

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.

A fresh install seemed to fix it
