About firewall blocked

[FallenAngel]

Seems like there's a firewall block a program call Zulu Platform x64 Architecture, should i allow it?

[Beard]

Do allow it

[CMDR Sweeper]

Don't allow it!
It is a very hostile program that will bring zombies, infection and survival onto your computer screen! :D
And it will show you how you die as well...

[FallenAngel]

What does this program do anyway?

[big fella]

From what i know it's a component or variant of Java, which the games runs off of.

Also sometimes if you quit the game through steam's STOP button this zulu thing will keep running and steam thinks Zomboid is still running.

To convince steam that you actually aren't still playing Zomboid you need to restart steam OR go to task manager and END TASK on zulu thing.

I have never seen this behavior if I exit Zomboid through the game ui. If you quit through the game's ui buttons Zulu will stop normally and steam will be happy. For some reason, steam's STOP button forgets to kill zulu (zomboid's exe will end but zulu won't) and the steam STOP button becomes broken and you will still be "playing Project Zomboid" in the eyes of steam client.

Hmm, I deactivated it by reflex, can someone tell me where I can find it?

if your operating system gave you a popup "allow or deny this app" and you chose deny, you just created a rule in your firewall settings to block it.

go to your firewall settings rules and look for the rule that applies to zulu and delete it or edit it to allow.

if you delete it, the next time it pops up with a rule create option, choose allow.
