I think I had this same issue, Do you use multiple monitors?

If you've actually searched the forum, you should've find plenty of the same topic. And most of them have the same troubleshooting: check if your GPU driver supports OpenGL or not.

Did you recently update your graphic driver? The last AMD drivers are having issues with the game, I suggest rolling them back.

Hello, I'm having similar errors while trying to run the game on a Snapdragon X Elite laptop. Is it not compatible or are there any steps I can take to get it running?

I will try that and update. They were updated recently and AMD drivers are usually great at messing things up.

NVidia as well, they managed to both get their updates effed up quite oftenXD
So it is not just AMD, in the past they were notoriously known for it, but NVIDIA caught up, at some years even surpassed them:)

Not entirely sure what fixed it but all at once I found that some windows NET framework or something along those lines had an update that I had to do manually. It's working on the latest AMD drivers. I had also tried to unplug my other monitor before, but I realized that my valve index is plugged in and acting as another display. I unplugged that and my other monitor and it worked fine. Now I can launch it with however many monitors plugged in without any issue,

Thanks for the suggestions.

Did rolling back help I'm having the same issues with zomboid as well as minecraft.
I've had similar problems with other games, and I believe I have a solution. You either have to get the game to launch in windowed mode or lower the rendering resolution to below 1920x1080.

When I've done that to zomboid and other games that crash with similar errors they begin to work perfectly fine

OpenGL is very out of date with its last update being back in 2013. AMD doesn't fully support OPENGL anymore, probably soon NIVIDA as well.
