Stuck On Loading Screen
Whenever I try to start a new game in SP I keep getting stuck on the black screen with Loading but the dots keep going. I let this go on for a hour and still nothing, anyway to fix this.

Try disabling the Steam Overlay.
Open the Steam client and navigate to the Steam > Settings/Preferences > In-game tab. Uncheck the box next to Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game.

If that doesnt help, try starting a new game again and wait a few minutes, you dont have to wait an hour but wait for a while so it is definitely stuck.
After that, close the game and go to C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid
Open the console.txt
Copy everything from there to https://pastebin.com/
Share the link to the pastebin here.

Try diabling all the mods and then enabling them one by one. IIRC AIZ is outdated.

Grab optional AMD driver 22.8.1.

22.7.1 (the driver you have) broke OpenGL support for many games.

Worked for me, thanks :steamhappy:

Not played in a while and wanted to check the recent updates.

I love AMD, but sometimes it feels like a one-sided abusive relationship!

I'm having the same issue and have done every possible suggested fix action I've been able to find. My text file pastebin is below.

Would need way more info about the log you just sent instead of "same issue"
Explain what kind of issue you get, when it happens and so on. The log basically just stops at loading the game, so it contains no useful info.

apologies. so in both the primary loader and the alternate loader my game will not progress beyond the loading into the world screen. the game boots fine, but when i try to load into a game it will freeze and the dots will stop cycling. the music will continue playing for roughly a minute then stop and if i click the cursor will turn into the blue spinning circle.

i've disable all overlays (microsoft, steam, and discord) i've validated the game files and ensured my gpu driver is up to date.

i've also tried putting the game to a higher priority in the task manager and stopped any other unnecessary background functions.

i've been able to successfully play the game a couple of times, but this has now been a consistent issue for the past week.
