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.
slender steppe
i did all of those i also saw leftover files in project zomboid file i deleted them and unsubcribe to all my workshops mod too but it sitll happens however i host i go back to main menu few times before actually creating the server
the 41 build didnt have this issue for me
formal thunder
Are you able to join any random public servers?
slender steppe
yes
slender steppe
formal thunder
Hm, can you try going to the Zomboid/Saves folder and delete the "Multiplayer" folder there?
Then try hosting again
slender steppe
ok
slender steppe
still the same issues
no mods at all too
when i go back in 41 this issue dont exist
slender steppe
as i said before it keep sending back to main menu but eventually the host works with alot of try it just annoying wasting alot of time to host a game
formal thunder
as i said before it keep sending back to main menu but eventually the host works...
That sounds like a connection issue honestly, do you have any sort of antivirus, security software, are you on a wifi or cable connection?
formal thunder
and everything i have is firewall
What do you mean by that? Do you not have any antivirus?
slender steppe
nope i have no anti virus at the moment i used to have one just to clean up stuff not anymore
but if i had it why could it only screw build 42 not 41?
if i go back in the build this problem just disappear
formal thunder
Because there are functional differences between the build
Since you have a firewall, can you make sure the "Zulu" application is allowed there?
slender steppe
yeah its allowed
it is really a odd bug i have
i can host its just annoying that i get send back to main menu 3 or more times before next attempt it finally create the server
formal thunder
Hm, I am not sure if I can help too much with it, the error is unusual since it just specifies that you failed to connect
Though it doesnt specify why
slender steppe
idk what happened i didnt do anything but it magically fixed itself
