Is there a way to check how or why my game crashed? Happened a few times now where if i zoom out a little or in my screen ingame glitches out a bit and completely force closes leaving me with a black screen. Can someone help? Maybe its my own computer thats causing this i dont know

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

Also can you share all “hs_err_pid” files found in your main game folder “Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid”?

Try to set the video settings to minimum.
Run the game and check.
Then increase the quality to an acceptable level.
Run the game and check.
The game may crash due to overly complex graphics.
The game may crash due to simplified zombie routes.
The game may crash due to bugs in modifications.

You can use the mod to track modification errors (errorMagnifier)

one of them with the error shows project zomboid

#

i tried loading another game it insta crashed me didint even load and gave me a black scree

#

i feel like i need to uninstall my drivers or something

#

its bothering me for a while now

Can you try increasing RAM allocation for the game? Go to the install directory and find ProjectZomboid64.json, change the line "-Xmx3072m" to "-Xmx6g" and see if it helps

#

Ill try ill say if it changed anything

is there a new hs_err_pid file?

magic frigate
#

Gimme a sec

#

Yes

analog pasture
#

can you share it

magic frigate
#

ram problem isnt it? but it didint use to crash like this before

analog pasture
#

have you only just started trying to use the bandits mod?

magic frigate
#

recently yeah. it started to lag for some reason since yesterday so i turned it off but the week one image still stays on my main screen

#

I was thinking off maybe unsubscribing maybe that will “fix” something but i highly doubt it

#

I turned the game on again stayed idle didint touch a single button got force closed

analog pasture
#

You don't have a lot of RAM available and any mod is going to increase RAM usage, the bandits mod is quite large and probably has an even larger impact than most. If you play vanilla does the game work?

#

I would revert the change to the .json file before trying vanilla too

magic frigate
#

Ill try to rechange the number on the json file turn off a couple of mods and retry again. I dont have bandits mod on to keep in mind its been off the entire time

analog pasture
#

I would try totally vanilla then build up a few mods at a time. If vanilla is crashing that gives us a good idea if it's a mod issue, a game issue or a hardware issue

magic frigate
#

Okay ill turn off everything then

magic frigate
#

Without mods it also force closed

#

I think its my drivers

analog pasture
#

You can try a driver reinstall and see if it helps

#

You can also try a clean install of the game to see if that helps at all

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.

#

Ill try to update them first if it doesnt work reinstall if it doesnt again then the game

magic frigate
#

@analog pasture for now i havent been getting any crashes after reinstalling my drivers but ill keep this post up for a little just incase something happens. Sorry for the ping tho dont wanna disturb you

#

And also thank you for your time

No problem, I'll leave the chat open so if it starts happening again just let me know
