Your logs are showing mod errors, can you disable your mods and try starting a new vanilla save to see if that works?

#

i already tried checking the integrity and reinstalling

Did you follow the steps below when reinstalling?

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 reinstall as normal.

Can you try verifying your files through steam?

Steam Library > Right-click Project Zomboid > Properties > Installed Files > Verify Local Files

Has the game ever worked properly for you on the "unstable" branch?

worthy shuttle Apr 24, 2026, 4:37 PM

#

Yes, but this bug is also in b41

#

but in b41 sometimes i can spawn

#

i will try on the outdated unstable

lapis maple Apr 24, 2026, 4:41 PM

#

I ask because your PC specifications fall outside of our minimum required, which would explain the instability you're experiencing. Has it ever been stable or have you always experienced crashes?

worthy shuttle Apr 24, 2026, 4:41 PM

#

in b41 the game runs well, in unstable it runs with some lags, but it never reached this point

lapis maple Apr 24, 2026, 4:44 PM

#

After doing the full reinstall did you reduce the graphics settings? Are settings like "Wind Sprite Effects" turned off?

worthy shuttle Apr 24, 2026, 4:59 PM

#

I tried it now

#

But dont worked too, i will try a last time but in b41

lapis maple Apr 24, 2026, 5:02 PM

#

If you swap back to b41 make sure you also do a fresh install so there is no trace of b42 files.

#

in b41 it worked perfecly

lapis maple Apr 25, 2026, 10:29 AM

#

If you are ok with playing b41 until b42 is stable then that's the best advice I can give you at this point

#

i formatted my pc(i think thats the word) and the error keeps occuring now in b41, thats my logs

Can you launch it using "Alternate Mode" and take a screenshot of the console that appears?
