Unstable Build 42 Black Screen any fix ?

[User123]

My specs : AMD Radeon R5
Build 41 worked on my low spec pc but now I wanted to play newest one and it is stuck on black screen, anyone knows some fix ?.
Tried with windowed mode , deleted zomboid folder from User folder inside my pc but still nothing, or we need to just wait for update that adds support for older graphic cards ?.
AMD A9 Radeon R5 3.10 GHz
8 gb ram DDR3
Windows 10

Only thing that I can think of is going into the local files and changing the projectzomboid64.exe compatibility to windows 7 or 8.

AMD R9 380
Windows 10 i5 3.2ghz

I know this is not the best specs but it worked for build 41 even with total conversion mods like Project Russia etc., also Gta V works on medium in 30 fps

GPU: Power Colour AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Red Devil 12 Gb DDR6 (Overheats if I set 1 or both screens to 1440p and play Unreal 4+/Unity 2023.1.20f1 games, and un-capped FPS on any game)
Ps. (Multi-screen on 1 GPU is not supported by the manufacturer even though it works)

As for Zomboid No problems after capping FPS to 60 and manually calibrating the fans.
As for the other/older cards check your drivers, you might have to update that awful AMD Adrenalin software that keeps trying to fry our cards.

Edit:
Failing that, you might have to start saving for an upgrade; bearing in mind that upgrading the GPU will most likely require an upgrade of the Motherboard, CPU, RAM and (if your PSU is under 600W) a new PSU. (The rest is optional).

This is currently a known problem with some older dedicated and newer integrated AMD cards, we are aware of the issue and are working on a fix.

If you have an issue with the 6600 (and all AMD RX and XT variations) open Adrenalin (make sure it's updated) and do the following:

Go to the "Performance" Tab (under Tuning): Click on Custom, Enable Fan Tuning, Disable Zero RPM (This blasted option kills all performance cards in under 6 months); Hit Apply Changes.
Enable Advanced Control, Click the Down Arrow for Fine Tuning and set them like this:

Fan Speed: 35, 50, 65, 80, 100
Temperature: 30, 40, 50, 55, 60

Then hit Apply Changes.

It might get noisy when the temperature goes up, but it will save your card (s) in the long run and will prevent you from having a fire in your PC.

Next Go to the "Gaming" Tab (under Graphics): Enable Radeon Chill, set Min FPS to 30 and Max to 60

(If it doesn't open; the software is as crp for you as it is for me and it has crashed again):
Open Task manager and "End Task" on AMD Crash, All AMD External, AMD Noise and All AMD User. Once done you can open the garbage AMD software.

Edit:
There are issues associated with integrated cards:
It completely depends on what/which motherboard and CPU you have a lot of CPU's don't have an option for integrated GPU's. The other problem is that it Steals memory from your RAM creating Data Bottlenecks, bringing it all down to the design of the motherboard.
