You and your friends have to download Radmin VPN Install Radmin VPN and launch the application. You will be greeted with Create Network or Join Network
For the Hosts you have to click at create network -For the Network name, you can name it anything you want -For the password, can be anything you want.
For your friend, you have to click at join network -Use the Private Network and not Gaming Network -Network name will be the same as what host enter -The password will be the same as what host enter
Next: If you want to change your name: YouGamePath/Project.Zomboid.v46.60\settings locate the file "account_name.txt" or "account_name" Open it, and change the name. Don't forget to hit save. Enter the game For me personally, I enter the game using ProjectZomboid64.bat
For the host:
Click the host and you will be greeted this You can set server memory to any you want -Click the manage setting, you can create new settings if you don't have one, or you can edit the one that were already existing.
You will be greeted with this menu -Leave the port as it is (NOTE: THERE WILL BE A NUMBER ORIGINALLY, I removed in the picture so it doesn't appear.) -Make sure the public have checkmark -You can set password if you want After that set up anything you liked for the server If the host is ready click save and press start
For your friends
Click join in the menu -For the IP Go to Radmin VPN and then right click on the host name, copy IPv4 Address. Paste it into the IP, and not Local IP -Leave the port as it is (NOTE: THERE WILL BE A NUMBER ORIGINALLY, I removed in the picture so it doesn't appear) -For the server password If the host set password, you have to enter. Else leave it blank. -Account Name, Account Password (Needed) For the account name and password, you can set it to any you like If you finishes, click add
When joining, if it says "Host must allow you to join" Tell the host to go into menu, player invite and allow them If it says "Already authenticating" Tell the host to go into menu, player invite, click on their username and click invite. The person who join have to accept the invite, if it doesn't work. Tell the host to spam the hell of the invite button. If it says "Joining the server..." or something like that, then it's working.
----Playing With Mods---- If you want to play with mod first you have to change "-Dzomboid.steam=1", to"-Dzomboid.steam=0" in ProjectZomboid64.json In order to change you have to open the .json by notepad
Enter the game using .bat file Don't forget to enable all the mod in "Mods" option at menu Host have to add the mod in Host>Manage Setting>Edit>Mods Then enter the game, same as Playing Without Mods Host and Your friend have to install the same mod.
can you show us the menu and player invite, seems i have trouble my friend already showed up "the host must allow you to join" but i cant find his name on invite players
it just an ipv4 address, it doesn't actually revealing your ip. or if you mean the server ip, i just make sure to remove it in case of safety. since i didn't really have much knowledge in networking stuff.
Nvm, we actually made it work. Thank you so much, for the tutorial but we have encountered another problem. Whenever my friends exit the server and tried to join back, they're stuck on the "Already authenticated" screen. We tried to follow your instructions about the invite method but their names doesn't pop up. How do you fix this?
Tell your friend to rejoin the game, it happens to my friend as well.
note: in order to save your progress your friend have to join through the server in server list. If join through invite then it will tell you to create new character.
Alright, so we tried doing what you commented and none of it works. My friend can't connect to me in the game. While he did connect to the radmin VPN. His connection keep failing whenever he joins in, even if the server has no password.
Is there any fix or things that we might forget about?
Also, does do we need to run the serve.bat file or change the steam dbi to 0? Because the steam dbi change actually work for public online lobbies, but creating one doesn't seem to work.
guys, whenever I try to start the game nothing happens, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what but I haven't been able to play for a while, can anyone help me?
Seems to have broken again, the game installs perfectly but the game just crashes if you try to launch it. Renaming the bin folder in JRE or JRE64 doesn't work either. We may need another fix.
Can anyone know how to fix the recently broken version? its seem like the game only load at "loading Scripts" then shut off. Using Batch file not work, too
I tried ProjectZomboid64.exe and ProjectZomboid64.bat as someone suggested below but it shut down when loading at "Loading Scripts", also with 32 It used to work at 41.72 fluently but not this version. I tried to remove things that come from the old version, too. But still Someone below also suggest -nosteam parameter but the instruction is quite unclear, so i have not tried it yet
Just create a shortcut for the application and right click the icon then go to properties. Under the SHORTCUT tab there is a target section add "-nosteam" (without quote) at the end of the PATH. Then you use that to open the game.
If the game doesn't work and you've already tried ProjectZomboid64.bat and the -nosteam argument, get the OnlineFix crack from the previous 41.71-0xdeadc0de release, the online should probably work as well.
I've uploaded the files if you want to download them, but otherwise just look for the OnlineFix version and get the necessary files from that version.
I just bought the 4 pack project zomboid today on steam because of the sale. Took me a long time before buying the game and i'm glad buying a legit copy to support the developers. There are plenty of errors and problems with the pirated version and i endured all of it for a long time, now, it's time to go legit. I hope you guys will buy the game soon and support the developers of this amazing game.
The problem is that the installer can't find the .BIN file, even when it's right there. I think it has something to do with the bin being named wrong for some reason.
Not my usual but you all realise is an 11 dollar game on steam right now that's been regularly updated for the last 8 to 10 years. Why not just buy the damn thing instead of killing yourselves figuring out magic fixes to multi-player versions?
I would just buy the game too, but I just really can't. Since my parents wouldn't allow me to withdraw money from the bank to just buy a game. Even though I could borrow the money from my parent, I wouldn't though since they also don't have that much money. I would use something such as piggy bank but the money can be only for the school. Seriously, support these guy if you could in any way. They made such an amazing game and put tons of effort into it. But if you really couldn't, you could pirate the game. You may felt guilty but it just really shows how great the game is. I'm going to buy the game if I could, thanks for reminding me though.
I've been playing the cracked version for less than a year now bc I never had the money to buy the actual game- after reading this comment I was kind of reminded "Hey! I actually have enough atm!" and im pretty happy bout buyin it! Not only does it feel good to support an awesome game, but I don't have a huge file sittin' round on my laptop that crashes often anyways lol
also, even more convenient since its on sale for $10 rn lol so thank you for the reminder to check out the real game
Exactly. Well glad to hear they got 20$ from us combined :P well worth it! I just need to convince my friends to start playing to get some real MP going! haha
Can't comment for everyone but when it comes to indi games i try them first then buy if they are actually good. Been burned too many times buying games that die a month later. These guys deserve to be supported
I think you might have missed the point of my post..... for a dollar a year i now own the game after pirating it for the last 8 years. Don't regret it for a second. :p
i also had same problem before,after i checked my game directly files and compare to my old version ProjectZomboid64.json file,i found that in "vmArgs": [ "-Dzomboid.steam=1", is difference.so just change the 1 to 0 like this: "-Dzomboid.steam=0", then save.you need notepad++ to edit it....hope this can help you.
Go to the game files and look for the text file "ProjectZomboid64.JSON" (or 32.JSON) Open it and press control+F, then search for "steam". You should find a line of text written "-Dzomboid.steam=1" Replace 1 with 0. After that go to "C:\Users%username%\Zomboid\mods" and put your mods there I recommend using this site: https://steamworkshopdownloader.io
is it possible to enable debug mode? i'm having a hard time figuring it out, because you need to open the game from the .bat file, so i can't make a shortcut for the game and add -debug to the end of it. and opening "ProjectZomboidOpenGLDebug64.bat" doesn't start the game in debug mode.
The 64bit version isn't launching even tho I have a 64bit os, the 32bit works however. Servers ain't workin for some reason, does anyone have a solution to these issues?
I can start the game but I can't play, When it finishes loading I click to play and I can hear that the game started but my screen keep the same as when it was loading, anyone help
I think the reason you "all" are having problems is because this version doesn't have the steam value changed. You need to either create a shortcut with the parameter "-nosteam" or instead open ProjectZomboid64.json in a text editor and set steam=1 to steam=0
HOWEVER, this is version 41.71 UNSTABLE which is not the same version as 41.71 STABLE, and hence WILL NOT WORK MULTIPLAYER (on most servers) because they are using 41.71 STABLE.

Was this 41.68 STABLE that was uploaded? because it's slightly suspiciously-fast (2 days I think?) for the stable version to be here considering that there's usually more than a 2 day lag on releases. I think 41.68 unstable might be a slightly different version.
for anyone that wants to play multiplayer download this https://bowfile.com/G11 and copy it to the game folder it should work for any version of the game
Multiplayer works without that if you run the game with -nosteam. So people do not need to use that. But for those who want to play on a Steam server, then yes, they'd probably want that (note that I am not endorsing that file as safe, not that I'm claiming it's dangerous either).
There's both 32-bit and 64-bit .exe, it might've been removed by your AV. Re-download the files if it's been deleted and can't be restored, pause it and run it from the batch file. 🙂
You can play either LAN or online. If you're going to play with friends, make sure their on the same version. Try "Hamachi" by LogMeIn if you wanna play with friends online. Follow the steps on making a network through the app, let them connect on your virtual network. Host game through multiplayer option in PZ, and they will connect through your Hamachi's IPv4. Don't forget to add mods, which you can dl through steam. If you're having problem with downloading mods through steam, check out "Workshop DL" on google and click on the github link. Use workshop DL copy and paste steamworkshop links to that app and then download
For the mods part, I think you could just search the mod's name in the browser and find it in "modsfire.com" (make sure you have an antivirus, uBlock or any adblocker when downloading). I haven't tried using Workshop DL since I'm not in the mood of using steamCMD at the moment. :P
Multiplayer works fine, at least with the current version we played at which is v41.78.16 Although we experience some desync when we played multiplayer through Hamachi, which happens when we go driving and some when we're on foot roaming around.
I,m having problem launching game i installed Project.Zomboid.v41.78.13 fine but when i try to launch game nothing apperas when i open task manager there are still running in background but not working help me plz.
Can some1 help? I ran the BAT file and it was stuck on "LOG : General , 1671884456890> SteamUtils started without Steam" I gave it a whole hour and nothing happened. And when I attempt to run the EXE file, it only have a background process but theres nothing that pops up.
The game installed fully, but when I try to join a server, it always says "connection failed". When I try to host and a friend tries to join, it says the same thing. Is there way to fix this problem or does multiplayer not work with this version?
Enable upnp (universal plug and play) on your router if you're the host, add a server name and password, start the server. when you're in the game you should see the server ip in a console, tell your friends to type that ip in the server ip when they add it and they should be able to join.
Ok so while playing on any map i start to get these visual errors like the grass becoming black or the walls becoming reflective when looking at one. Is there a way to fix this? I am running the game without a GPU tho so it might be because of that even tho on older versions that was't the case
is the hotfix a patch? or it has also the full game? i'm having a difficult time installing it because the hotfix installer can't locate the other file.
how do i install it? i have the v41.70 from igg-games and i copied the hotfix to my v41.70 folder and yet it still can't detect the "part 1" that the hotfix is looking for.
Yes this is because someone (or people) asked for the game to be updated when the current version was "41.71 unstable", but by the time it was updated, the game released "41.71 stable" which is a different version and isn't compatible with clients running "41.71 unstable". Unless requesters and/or IGG wants to update the game twice in quick succession, requesters/IGG should wait until stable releases before updating.
Usually there is a "server" file in the same folder that the game is, run that one and then run your game and connect to your own ip, im downloading it so, ill confirm later
just add the game as non steam. you will see a + icon on bottom of your steam store/your game. then you click on options and add -nosteam in run options
i haven't test it in 41.65 yet but im sure it work in any version. to summarize this up:
installing radmin vpn install radmin vpn host go to create network, enter the network name and password anything u want joinner go to join network, private network, enter the host's network name and password
hosting game (host) host click the host button on the menu, click manage setting (create new setting if you dont have one) checkmark the public, password is optional. click save then start.
joinning game (joinner) joinner click the join button on the menu, for the IP go to radmin vpn, right click on host then copy ip address, paste it into the ip bar. make sure local ip is empty, leave port as it is, if server has password, enter it. account username and password can be anything (if u want to save progress, remember it.) click add now join the server
allowing player host will now go to menu (pressing ESC), go to player invite then allow the joinner for the joinner, if it shows already authenticate, host will click on the joinner's name then invite instead. for the joinner pov it will show up the invite message. accept the invite and you are in.
try holding the left shift while the game is booting.
if that doesn't work, head to the game folder then right click on either projectzomboid32.exe or projectzomboid64.exe then create shortcut. after that right click on the shortcut then go to properties. on the target add -debug at the end. should be something like "(brah brah brah)\Project.Zomboid.v46.60\ProjectZomboid64.exe" -debug (don't forget to add space before -debug) then launch by the shortcut and you're now have the debug mode
anybody can correct me since i might be wrong, cause i never use the debug mode.
All you have to do is to rename the .BIN to setup_project_zomboid_41.71_hotfix_(64bit)_(56056)-1
yeah just delete the last 001 or some shit to this and it will find it.
you're awesome dude thanks
In order to join a multiplayer:
----Playing Without Mods----
You and your friends have to download Radmin VPN
Install Radmin VPN and launch the application.
You will be greeted with Create Network or Join Network
For the Hosts you have to click at create network
-For the Network name, you can name it anything you want
-For the password, can be anything you want.
For your friend, you have to click at join network
-Use the Private Network and not Gaming Network
-Network name will be the same as what host enter
-The password will be the same as what host enter
Next:
If you want to change your name:
YouGamePath/Project.Zomboid.v46.60\settings
locate the file "account_name.txt" or "account_name"
Open it, and change the name. Don't forget to hit save.
Enter the game
For me personally, I enter the game using ProjectZomboid64.bat
For the host:
Click the host and you will be greeted this
You can set server memory to any you want
-Click the manage setting, you can create new settings if you don't have one, or you can edit the one that were already existing.
You will be greeted with this menu
-Leave the port as it is (NOTE: THERE WILL BE A NUMBER ORIGINALLY, I removed in the picture so it doesn't appear.)
-Make sure the public have checkmark
-You can set password if you want
After that set up anything you liked for the server
If the host is ready click save and press start
For your friends
Click join in the menu
-For the IP
Go to Radmin VPN and then right click on the host name, copy IPv4 Address.
Paste it into the IP, and not Local IP
-Leave the port as it is (NOTE: THERE WILL BE A NUMBER ORIGINALLY, I removed in the picture so it doesn't appear)
-For the server password
If the host set password, you have to enter. Else leave it blank.
-Account Name, Account Password (Needed)
For the account name and password, you can set it to any you like
If you finishes, click add
When joining, if it says "Host must allow you to join"
Tell the host to go into menu, player invite and allow them
If it says "Already authenticating"
Tell the host to go into menu, player invite, click on their username and click invite.
The person who join have to accept the invite, if it doesn't work.
Tell the host to spam the hell of the invite button.
If it says "Joining the server..." or something like that, then it's working.
----Playing With Mods----
If you want to play with mod first you have to change "-Dzomboid.steam=1", to"-Dzomboid.steam=0"
in ProjectZomboid64.json
In order to change you have to open the .json by notepad
Enter the game using .bat file
Don't forget to enable all the mod in "Mods" option at menu
Host have to add the mod in Host>Manage Setting>Edit>Mods
Then enter the game, same as Playing Without Mods
Host and Your friend have to install the same mod.
After that, enjoy the game :)
also don't forget to check out the real game to support the creators ^^
or if you mean the server ip, i just make sure to remove it in case of safety. since i didn't really have much knowledge in networking stuff.
note: in order to save your progress your friend have to join through the server in server list. If join through invite then it will tell you to create new character.
Is there any fix or things that we might forget about?
Using Batch file not work, too
It used to work at 41.72 fluently but not this version.
I tried to remove things that come from the old version, too. But still
Someone below also suggest -nosteam parameter but the instruction is quite unclear, so i have not tried it yet
It's annoying starting with the .bat, but it'll have to do until a working patch is provided.
-nosteam argument, get the OnlineFix crack from the previous 41.71-0xdeadc0de release, the online should probably work as well.
I've uploaded the files if you want to download them, but otherwise just look for the OnlineFix version and get the necessary files from that version.
Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a474yJg_Xbtb7sVOgn8rQNBDjlSdXAim/view?usp=sharing
These are the files inside that download:
I think it has something to do with the bin being named wrong for some reason.
You need to change "-Dzomboid.steam=1", to"-Dzomboid.steam=0" in ProjectZomboid64.json.
It also worked for me
Enjoy
https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2021/12/project-zomboid-build-41-released/
Why its here v46.65? ^^
[EDIT]
Aaaah, the download file is Project.Zomboid.v41.65.rar
Even though I could borrow the money from my parent, I wouldn't though since they also don't have that much money.
I would use something such as piggy bank but the money can be only for the school.
Seriously, support these guy if you could in any way. They made such an amazing game and put tons of effort into it.

We need 41.65!
After v41.60 there has been builds .61 .63 .64 aaaand .65
Those versions have improved the multiplayer experience signficantly, and thus, are most wanted.
HOWEVER, this is version 41.71 UNSTABLE which is not the same version as 41.71 STABLE, and hence WILL NOT WORK MULTIPLAYER (on most servers) because they are using 41.71 STABLE.
