I need some help since I couldn't fix it on my own, I just updated and when I launch it, it loads a bit, loads lua and crashes

mighty frost
#

Any mods enabled? Does it crash without them?

prime onyx
#

i disabled everything, it crashes without em

#

also it specificly crashes when it gets to "Initializing public server"

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

RakNet64.dll: An Application Control policy has blocked this file at NativeLibraries.load

Looks like your system is blocking the app

#

Do you perhaps have Controlled folder access enabled in Windows Security?

prime onyx
#

no but maybe smart app is the reason?

#

I also tried adding the game file to exclusions

#

same problem

mighty frost
#

Exclusions do not exclude from the smart app as far as I am aware

#

You can also try doing a full reinstlal, in case the update did not go correctly

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.

it was smart app control..

#

thanks for the help spiffo

#

smart app control isn't that important right?

mighty frost
#

Not particularly, it is mainly useful in corporate environments where you have only a few work apps and want more security

#

It doesnt work well with a lot of games though, even Windows recommends disabling it if it causes issues

prime onyx
#

got it thanks again ❤️
