Report a translation problem
I have had the same bug with both the public build and the test build (The one that required the code from the forums. The reason I tried the test build was to see if it fixed the bug.)
Basically what has been happening for me is that when I start the game both normally or in compatibillity mode, I just get a black screen, and the steam tab thing comes up in the corner. If I leave it long enough the menu music plays. The way I have had to play since I transfered game to steam (I was one of the google checkout cool kids who got the game waaaay early on), is that I open the game over and over again till it crashes. Once it crashes, if I click re open the game runs fine and I haven't had any issues in game as of yet. This can take around 20 times of opening and closing until it works for me. Also, whenever I click reopen, the game works 100% of the time from there, i.e. I don't get the same error as running it normally. The game also never runs normally, so I MUST wait for it to crash so I can play it.
I hope this helps out, and this problem will be resolved in a future build. If you need any more info such as specs, crash report or anything, just let me know.
Cheers,
Mirkea
I press play and nothing happens.
The same happens for me. I played it yesterday, and also played for like 30 minutes today. But then i closed it, and now it won't even launch.
I tried disabling the steam overlay both for all games and exclusively for Project Zomboid. In both instances the game window would not show up, but I do know that the game is launching because my profile icon thingy goes green, but then becomes blue again. So I am assuming the game is crashing? The normal crash report doesn't come up either, which is weird so I can't use the 'reopen trick' I have been using to date.
Is there anything else I can try, or any other information I can give you?
Thanks for your time,
Mirkea
I also have OSX 10.6.8
For everyone else, can you try the steps I posted in my last post here: http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/4289-game-wont-launch-mac/?p=58059
I'm not sure if that's going to solve it, but it's my best guess at this point.
