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

Unusual issue, did you do a full reinstall or just a standard one?

ionic flume
#

just standard

austere crescent
#

In that case, to rule out any leftover file issues, 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.

hey, i think is the new update patch, there's only three versions, the public, the unstable and the outdatedunstable, i was about to play with my friend and our server didn't start, they're going to fix this in a couple hours.

yea i think so too but its weird before the update i could only play the legacy version and build 42 didnt work

#

like only the legacy 41 worked not the common public version

#

Could you share a screenshot of the alternate Launch output in that case?

#

ok it started with saying something about fonts but i started to look up how to take screenshot and it started working

#

some kind of delay

#

here is the screen before it worked tho

ionic flume
#

crashed again not fixed

#

worked for like 10 seconds

#

dont know if these will tell any useful info

#

crash window

Try going to your Steam Library > Right click Project Zomboid > Properties > Set Launch Options > Type -cachedir=C:\Zomboid > Start the game using the normal launcher

ionic flume
#

didnt work either

Can you simply restart your PC with this type of crash?
