PZ wont start up

[andrewo1991]

Just got Project Zomboid and when I click on it all it does is bounce the Icon at the bottom for a second then just goes away. I tried the steam and stand alone download to no success. I have been reading problems and i have the "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: zombie.gameStates.MainScreenState" problem. It says to modify the projectzomboid.bat file. I cant find it. Where to I find that file to edit it?

[andrewo1991]

I cannot find the .bat file to save my life. I'm on a mac if that makes a difference.

[andrewo1991]

This is what happens when i double click the red and black icon

Heya Andrew.

The easiest way for me to figure out what's going on is to get Terminal output. I'm... hoping... it's a little different from your Console output, because the error that's showing there is not one I recognize.

Browse local files from Steam as per above, and you'll see ProjectZomboid.app (though the .app may not show). Right click on it and select "Show Package Contents." From there, open the Contents folder and the MacOS folder, and double click the JavaAppLauncher there. That will launch PZ directly from the Terminal and hopefully/maybe give me a more useful error. You can just copy-paste that here. Cheers!

Edit: Also, are you... doing something odd with your game or your computer? Your filepath seems very weird. Not sure what "temp mac build" is.

Also try to disable checkbox "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game" in Steam preferences -> In-Game.

[andrewo1991]

Temp mac build was the folders name when i downloaded it. Here is the information asked for. Also i have already disabled the steam overlay.

i just realized the console screenshots was from trying to run it with the stand alone version I downloaded earlier. Neither work, i just tried deleting all of it and reinstalliing it and still exact same problem

[andrewo1991]

Ok, i feel stupid. Java wasn't up to date. I checked for updates and told it to install, but for some reson I had to ONLY install the java update for it to work. Game is up now!
