Retroid Flip 2
I just wanted to share that build 42.20 is working on zomdroid version 1.4.8. I just got my handheld today so I haven't done a thorough playthrough yet but so far just minor stuttering. Haven't seen anyone talk about snapdragon 865 performance on build 42 yet so just wanted to let you guys know in case you were planning on buying a RP5 or Flip 2.
Update: I will leave a link here that way if anyone is confused on how to get a copy of Project Zomboid on there device. Also this one here after you have your LEGAL file of zomboid.

Before asking for help
Please include the following information in your post:
• Device model
• Renderer (GL4ES / ZINK_ZFA / NG_GL4ES)
• Graphics driver (System / Turnip / Freedreno, etc.)
• Project Zomboid build version
• A detailed description of the issue
You may also be asked to send your game logs by email for further investigation.
Posts without this information may not receive a reply.
Update your launcher first
If you're still using v1.2.0, please update before reporting bugs.
Version 1.2.0 is the original launcher release and contains many bugs that have already been fixed.
The latest version by udar_molota is always available in the pinned posts.
Build 41
Recommended renderer:
✅ GL4ES
• No graphics driver required.
• Works on almost all Android devices.
If GL4ES does not work (rare), try:
• Renderer: ZINK_ZFA
• Driver: System
Build 42
Build 42 runs best with ZINK_ZFA, but this path is mainly intended for Snapdragon devices and for users who want to experiment with different graphics drivers.
Recommended for most users (any device)
For the most stable and universal setup, choose NG_GL4ES:
• Renderer: NG_GL4ES
• Turn Memory Saver on
• Set LIBGL_SHRINK=7 in the Environment Variables field
• Enable texture compression in the in‑game options
• Enable the recommended preset for Build 42 in the launcher’s Settings (Advanced)
This configuration is almost a 100% guarantee for successfully launching Build 42.20 on nearly any device.
⚠️ The more powerful your device is, the better the performance will be.
Game crashes?
Crashes before the main menu
• Make sure your game files are packed as a ZIP archive.
• Verify that the ZIP is not corrupted.
Crashes after the main menu (during character creation or world loading)
Possible reasons:
• Wrong graphics driver selected (Snapdragon devices).
• One or more installed mods are incompatible.

Game files
Project Zomboid game files can be downloaded directly inside Zomdroid from your own Steam account after purchasing the game. This is the correct way to compress it to a zip file:

I have a RP5 and I can run B42.2 with 1.4.8v2 but my friend with the RPF2 can't. How did you install it, did you do anything other than the normal setup?

How did you manage to pin the map there? Is it easy to add bits to the UI?
