#Crashes when doing different things (just walking sometimes) and sometimes game won't start at all

This is a new problem for me and I was wondering if there is a fix for this. I've also added my logs.zip as well.

Sometimes it will crash to desktop from just walking, this most recent one was barricading a window. And sometimes it won't even load up. It will go to the black screen on startup then crash, or crash after "Loading Lua." Was wondering if I just need to reinstall and do the delete all saves option.

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

That was the only one after looking in the other folder too.

Can you 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.

It should also be noted that I am on Build 42 Unstable. I am so sorry for not mentioning that at first. But I will try a full resinstall

One more thing, can you go to the Windows Reliability Monitor (search Reliability Monitor" in the start menu) and check for any Project Zomboid crashes in there? if there are any can you send a screenshot of the technical details?

Huh. It does show PZ "stopped working" but there's not technical details under the Action dropdown.

Report back after reinstall:
Game runs smoother. Feels way better. Will report back if anything happens.

#

Stability has returned, I'm actually finding all the new stuff added to the game. So it seems something didn't update properly. Thanks Ash!
