nova sphinx Mar 31, 2026, 6:55 PM

#

Cant say I do, does it also happen in Windowed mode? How about Borderless mode?

mellow mantle Mar 31, 2026, 7:19 PM

#

In every mode

nova sphinx Mar 31, 2026, 7:26 PM

#

Does the in-game look different as well?

mellow mantle Mar 31, 2026, 7:26 PM

#

Yeah

#

Im not on pc but can confirm

#

Tomorrow sending photo, is 21:26

nova sphinx Mar 31, 2026, 7:27 PM

#

I might suggest simply restarting the PC as well to check for any weird issues there

mellow mantle Mar 31, 2026, 7:27 PM

#

I think is pz

#

My pc looks same as yesterday, when the update got in, game changed to grayer

nova sphinx Mar 31, 2026, 10:53 PM

#

This after the restart?

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 8:50 AM

#

Didnt restart, pc is as always, game isnt

mellow mantle Didnt restart, pc is as always, game isnt

I suggest restarting the PC then, I cannot move to other troubleshooting steps if you do not follow my previous ones

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 9:37 AM

#

Unstable

#

Restarting

For seeing the diferences:
Check north field on both photos

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

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 9:51 AM

#

Wheres that

#

Im in zomboid local archives

#

Userdata?

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 9:54 AM

#

%UserProfile%\Zomboid

#

Use your Windows search bar for that

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 9:55 AM

#

In UserProfile i put account name?
For example: %PollitoPio%/Zomboid

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 10:35 AM

#

You have to close it, then send it

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 10:35 AM

#

Yeah

#

Where is the button to send (Im trying my best)

#

Found it

#

Here you are

#

📎 logs.zip

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 11:06 AM

#

Cannot see anything wrong in the logs except some of the mods enabled

#

Try deleting the "mods" folder in the Zomboid folder, then check if it still happens

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 11:34 AM

#

Ok

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 1:18 PM

#

If i uninstall mod per mod, counts as the same?

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 1:22 PM

#

Preferably do as said

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 1:44 PM

#

In where i can delete as you said?

#

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 1:47 PM

#

I am not sure what that screenshot is even showing, that doesnt look like the Zomboid folder

#

So you are likely in the wrong place

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 1:47 PM

#

Screenshot is showing zip

#

Logs.zip

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 1:47 PM

#

Why

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 1:48 PM

#

Im so lost

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 1:48 PM

#

#

Here is what I said just a few messages above

#

Delete the mods folder in the Zomboid folder

#

So I am not sure why you opened the logs.zip file for that

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 1:49 PM

#

Ah

#

Mods folder is empty, i have 25 mods

#

Deleted and still the same

Right Click your Desktop > Show More > Nvidia Control Panel

Nvidia isnt opening

#

Is there any "easier" way?

#

I manually deleted the mods i used

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 2:02 PM

#

mellow mantle Nvidia isnt opening

What do you mean by that? What error do you get?

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 2:02 PM

#

nova sphinx What do you mean by that? What error do you get?

It basically doesnt do anything

#

I click, nothing happens

#

Is with Nvidia itself

quaint sonnet Apr 1, 2026, 2:05 PM

#

mellow mantle It basically doesnt do anything

The Nividia app itself might need an update...

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 2:06 PM

#

Or do i need to use it as admin

#

mellow mantle It basically doesnt do anything

What happens when you search for "Nvidia App" instead and run that

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 2:07 PM

#

Uh, nothing happens

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 2:07 PM

#

Okay, that might be a problem

#

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

NVIDIA

Download The Latest Official GeForce Drivers

Download the latest official GeForce drivers to enhance your PC gaming experience and run apps faster.

#

I would suggest you reinstall your drivers in that case

#

And make sure to select the "Clean Install" option during the reinstall

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 2:08 PM

#

Run as administrator? I dont have it as admin

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 2:08 PM

#

It shouldnt matter

#

Basically you shouldnt run any apps as admin generally

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

And this all is for deleting the mods?

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

This has nothing to do with mods no

mellow mantle Apr 1, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

Soo what is this thing for

nova sphinx Apr 1, 2026, 2:09 PM

#
