FULLSCREEN BLACKSCREEN
After returning to the game from a 2 month hiatus the game refuses to display in full screen.
Anytime I try to launch the game in full screen I get a black screen but I can still hear the menu music, sane thing if I start in windowed and switch to full screen. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does the same issue happen when launching in Borderless mode?

No the game launches in borderless. Last night after updating my drivers I was able to get the game to launch in fullscreen. When I got on today and tried to launch the game in fullscreen no window appears, but launches just fine in borderless. When trying to use fullscreen on launch it gives me an error with opengl.

I just tried again and now it does not open in bordless. it will only open in windowed.

Do you perhaps have multiple monitors connected to the PC?

And can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?
You can use any file-sharing website of your choice or a temporary one like filetransfer.io for example.

I found the issue. It was the most recent AMD Driver update that added support for Bo6. After Rolling back everything works as normal.
