Project Zomboid

Key-binds not working (Beta 41) Zooming in and out (FIXED)
I can not zoom in or out with the key-binds that are set or the the mouse wheel (I cant even set key-binds with my mouse). I tried deleting the key-binds and seeing if that would help, it doesn't. Also, I have this weird light flickering bug while playing. Any help is grateful. Thanks

((((FIX for anybody that has this issue))))
Go to the PZ dir (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid) Go to the ProjectZomboid64.exe and right click. Select properties. Go to compatibility. Then select, "Run this program in compatibility mode for". Select Win 7. Also tick "Run this program as an administrator"... This fixed the zooming in and out. It also fixed the light flickering. Start the game in compatibility mode (I think this is a given anyway) IT NOW WORKS!!!!!

Are you using any mods? Is possible one of them is causing the issues.

No, no mods at all and a fresh install
I would also like to add, I have looked in the keybinds ini and the zoom binds are bound. they just don't work in-game. I've done two fresh installs to no avail.
Do you have zoom enabled in the options? And are you using the default keybinds? Currently you cannot bind anything to the mouse, but the zoom should be set to default to use the mouse wheel.

Yup, everything is default and zoom is enabled. I'm just going to try and re-install, make sure everything to do with PZ is gone and try again. Works fine on build 40, just not 41
I FIXED IT!!!!! So, I manually changed the compatibility to win 7 and ticked run as admin (In the dir for PZ, right clicked properties and then changed settings there)... NOW IT WORKS!!!
