Did you recently switch from the stable branch to the unstable branch?

I was playing on the unstable until the update when the error begun so I went back to outdated unstable (and apparently there was a guy with the same problem as me and he fixed it so its kinda good now thanks brother)

Eventually Outdated Unstable will update to this latest version, when it does you might run in to the issue again.

When you do you can 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.
