Can't even accept terms to start

[marc2912]

I'm on a 2021 Macbook Pro and I can't even get past accepting terms. Can't click on anything, can't get past it. Tried regular and compatibility mode. So far it's a virtual paperweight. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd post a pic but can't seem to. basically all i get it a black background with a popup that says Terms of Service and Privacy notice. There's 4 buttons (2 to see terms and pp) and then an accept and quit. I can move the mouse around but can't click on anything.

Try going to the Home\Zomboid folder and edit the options.ini file.
In that file, edit the fullscreen=true line to fullscreen=false
Then try launching the game again.

Do you know where that would be on a mac. Going through the package contents for the app but not sure where the options map.

You can also change the lockCursorToWindow option to true to play in full screen mode

Where do I go to "Home/Zomboid", I am having trouble with this problem too

I found the options.ini file here:

~/Zomboid/options.ini

Or:

/Users/<username>/Zomboid/options.ini

Late to this comment, but the problem still persists. I’m on a MacBook as well. Any word on a legitimate fix for this?

I found the issue

It turns out something is De-Syncing on Mac for Zomboid. Not sure what or how, I don’t know this stuff very well. But it looks like the screen is set to where when it loads, it loads you zoomed into the bottom left of the screen. I’m trying the full screen fix right now. Enabling the locked cursor setting helps sync the mouse, however your unable to reach the screen options such as full screen due to the zooming-in. Hopefully a Dev sees this and we get a fix

Can confirm, the Fullscreen=False fixes this. I found nothing else that worked. Like I said, pretty sure something’s up with how it does fullscreen on Mac. Not sure if that’ll be any help for y’all, but hopefully a dev sees this and can patch

Go to your finder and type in zomboid in the search bar and then double click the zomboid folder. You’ll find the option file in there to change the full screen to false

Is that the only issue that lacks compatibility with M1 MacBooks, just asking from your experience assuming you have a MacBook. Because I wanna get this game for my girlfriend, but I don’t wanna get it if the game is plagued with issues with it not being supported with PZ.
