Game freeze, need help (Build 41)

The problem occurs on build 41. Previously, the game worked fine, and in general, everything was fine. After the release of 41.50, a complete freeze of the game takes place. To be more precise, at the stage of character creation, the beginning of the game - everything is fine. I play for 8-10 minutes, while no bugs or changes in FPS are observed, but after which the picture completely freezes, but the game continues, judging by the sounds. Most of the time, a zombie comes up and bites me. I tried to set the minimum settings, it does not help, the game freezes even faster than the maximum (lol).

This is the main culprit of the problems.
Build 41 doesnt run well / at all on older integrated graphics cards such as this one. A dedicated card is recommended for it due to the 3D model improvements.

I can only suggest a few things to try and make it work without crashing and freezing on an old graphics card:

1. Make sure your drivers are up to date from the official website
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81500/Intel-HD-Graphics-3000

2. Run the game in 32 bit mode by going to your game folder
Steam Library > Rightclick ProjectZomboid > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files
And running the "ProjectZomboid32.bat"

3. Lower any settings in the options, lower the puddle quality, turn texture compression on

If none of these help, try this guide as well:

Can you share the console log after the game freezes?
Go to C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid
Open the console.txt
Copy everything from there to https://pastebin.com/
Share the link to the pastebin here.

Pastebin says "You have exceeded the maximum paste size of 512 kilobytes per paste. PRO users don't have this limit"

Can I send it to your email or try some other text exchanger?

Yeah any text sharing or file sharing website will do.
