is a fix for build 42 coming about AMD gpu's?
i know i can update my driver but i really need new space although i'm waiting to get more money for the hard disk, somehow my AMD Gpu didn't work on the new build 42 update, it's an AMD Ryzen 5 4600G

I also have AMD, in my case is Ryzen 7 and RX 6650 XT and it crashes after the game loads my last save of build 42 and I use no mods.

i got suggested by one of the officer's here that you need to update your driver with ADM Adrenalin but since i'm waiting for my new hard disk i coulden't get it, maybe you can

AMD Ryzen 7 5800 with an AMD 7700 XT.
No issues.

They also fixed the issue with the OLDER AMD cards. As in players who had rx 4XX/5XX series (before the XT series) cards encountered the issue mainly.
Those that have 4 digit numbered cards should have not encountered this issue.

Do you have an AMD GPU??? Because Ryzen 5 4600G has an iGPU. Not a dedicated GPU.
And it is weaker than an RX560. So whereas it should run the game, it is pretty possible it won't.

If you would post the console.log we(i mean forum users) could also have a look at it, to figure out why it is not working.
The others could also mention what kind of a card they have issue with, or could also talk to support.

Then load your console.log/console.txt up on pastebin and provide the link so we can have a look. Or do the same in support, then Beard can have a look and maybe he can help you with your issue. He is the official support, the forum users though know a few issues already so they also might be able to assist.

Honestly at this point when you update pc specs get an nvidia. Amd is nothing but trouble
dont know which of thoses fixed it but i had same isue with game closing after starting it (some Java issue according the log files)

-mainboard bios update (have an intel 13900kf ,had some wrong factorysettings) + i think its the main fix
-projektzomboid64.bat starting as admin
-vsync on (if u cant get it set ingame , go to the zomboid folder where the saves are and edit the options.ini)
-strangly sometimes it still crashes ,but around the 4th time starting it again it get a grip of it self

Honestly sadly both GPU-s have issues, especially driver wise. (Intel is not really a player yet.)
In the past(like 8-10 years ago) it was generally more common for AMD drivers to have issues, but lately NVIDIA managed to catch up in this regard, and they can botch their drivers just as badly. There was even a year (3-4 years ago i think) where there were so many issues with NVIDIA drivers, that they actually gave the "driver issues" crown over to them from AMD:D

I believe I read something familiar from Barotrauma forum year ago that it took 9 years for the Red team to release new update support on newer OpenGL in their driver. Which is sound very ridiculous. Pick your poison.

I have had since 2014 AMD cards. RX 470 then RX 560 (on which i could run BG3 EA!!!) then a 6750 XT and now a 7700.
I did not have any issues with barotrauma. At all.
I have two computers, one is an intel with an RX 560 ->barotrauma ran. (This had prior the RX 470).
The other one is an Ryzen 5800 with a 7700. (Previously had a 5700 G with 6750)
Also no issues with barotrauma ever.
And i bought barotrauma quite a few years ago.

Yeah it should run just fine on normal setting but some old like OEM build laptop with older OS, etc. probably gonna have a trouble with it for sure. It start to break after the game update switch to use the new version. People not happy about it (some can't run) and Dev pulling their hair as usual. At least we know one thing that their support on drivers is still a long long way to go. In term of playable out of the box. of course.

I have an AMD RX 580 with two monitors. I unplugged one monitor from my computer and the game started working again.
