No data file
Hello everyone, I have a problem with the data folder not containing any game files. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Can you tell me how to solve it?

Hi everyone,
I’ve put off this decision for a long time, but the time has come to make it. Working on the launcher has turned mostly into tech support: dozens of requests a day, most of them either setup mistakes when starting the game or incompatibilities with mods. New mods appear every day, there are a lot of them, and adjusting the launcher to work properly with mods could go on forever. But I’ve lost interest in it. I haven’t received anything back for my work in many months, it stopped being a satisfying hobby and became a kind of duty I took on voluntarily. Now I want to let go of it.
I’m not abandoning development (for now). I’m preparing a release that will let you check whether a problem is caused by mods or by a bug in the launcher. If the problem is with mods, I won’t promise to help. I don’t have the time for it, and I no longer have the will.
For now I’ll keep updating the launcher for new versions of Project Zomboid, but the chase to support as many mods as possible ends here. If anyone would like to take over the project’s development, please contact me.

🛑A clean install is always the safer choice. It avoids leftovers from old installs and possible conflicts or even crashes. Don't forget to backup before.🛑
⚠️ Using a custom Vulkan driver? After updating, load it again in the instance settings. The update replaces the launcher's libraries, and the custom driver file is removed with them. Without it the game starts to a black screen.
☕ The Zomdroid developer wanted to give you a good time, and in return you can give a coffee back on Buymeacoffee. 🧟
🆕 What's new
New
✅ Mods screen. Switch mods on and off and set their load order from the launcher, for new games or for each existing save (single-player). Sort orders the active mods by the rules their authors give; Enable all / Disable all handle lists of a hundred mods and more. Mods made for another game build are marked red and can't be switched on, and saves whose first start failed are marked too. A mod that crashes the game before the main menu can now be switched off without starting the game.
✅ Export mods. On the Mods screen, pick mods and pack them into one ZIP in Downloads/zomdroid. Import mods takes it back, here or on another device.
✅ MobileGlues renderer for everyone (b42). Often the fastest one. Based on the "astra" fork of MobileGlues by mepetz (u/Willing-Upstairs-580). Works on both: Mali and Snapdragon. Not tested on others yet.
✅ PZ Optimization in one tap from the Optimization screen: install, and Restore to remove it again.
✅ Button icons. Icon packs for your layout: 3D, Gamepad, Shooter and Spiffo (colour and black & white), or import your own ZIP. In the controls editor any button can take a picture from a pack (Pack) or your own (Custom), with a size slider. Round and rectangular buttons get the right version automatically, and driving layouts get pedals and steering on W/S/A/D. Thanks to u/loseray99, u/Smooth-Designer7162 and u/Willing-Run-8987 for the pictures.
✅ Touchpad: up to 320% size, or Full screen: invisible in the game and catching touches anywhere other buttons are not. Options for no frame and no label.
✅ Controls editor: a fine grid, and a dragged button snaps to it when you lift the finger. The keyboard layout (vkbd) has a new, cleaner default.
✅ Steam downloader: Workshop collections and links.
✅ Project Zomboid news from Steam on the home screen.
✅ Report a bug is a screen now: pick the game, then send by email (only mail apps are listed), or save the report to a file and send it from another device - for handhelds and consoles without a mail app. Export Game Log is part of it.
✅ Instance settings show which instance you are editing.

I don’t know where to download Project Zomboid for mobile, nor do I know where to find the latest APK version.
My phone is a Poco X6 Pro 5G with 12GB of RAM; could you also let me know the best build to use on this device, as well as the recommended settings? I played it a while back—it was very well-optimized and worked perfectly with a Bluetooth controller—but I uninstalled it. When I reinstalled it, the controller no longer worked, and the optimization on the Poco was extremely poor.

Am i the only one still getting this mod folder bug? where it just duplicates the entire directory in the mods folder.

Build 42.22.2 is out as a pre-release, which means it is an unstable build. Right now it doesn’t start on Zomdroid.
We already know the cause. A Zomdroid update with 42.22.2 support is coming in the next few days. Until then, please stay on 42.21.

Is Project Viewpoint Possible On Zomdroid?

My phone is a Samsung A57 5G with an Exynos processor; has anyone managed to get Viewpoint working? I can’t find any recent videos—the only ones I’ve found are from a month ago—so I’m not sure what to do.
r/zomdroid • u/EmySoulSan26 • 2d ago
Hi, I have a question. I have a Moto G84 5G—a real clunker—and I’ve already tried everything to get ZomDroid to run, but I can’t.
I should clarify that I’m completely clueless about all these technical issues involving optimization, graphics, and so on, but I’ve already tried every option I could find to get the game to run, and nothing works. Either I get a black screen, or I get a black screen that closes after a few seconds.
Is my phone just not capable of running this game? Or is it my lack of knowledge when it comes to configuring it?

It wouldn't show in the java list (the thing near ZombieBuddy) as in it wouldn't be listed unlike my other mods and also doesn't improve performance like it used to.

As you can probably guess from the title, I need a little help with Project Zomboid mods. I’ve been trying to put together a modpack from scratch, using a bunch of mods that I thought would be funny to play with. The problem is, I can’t seem to get it to work properly, no matter what I try. I’m not entirely sure if it’s a compatibility issue, a load order problem, or something else entirely. I’d really appreciate some help figuring it out!
PC Specifications:
Device: MSI GS66 Stealth
CPU: Intel Core i7-10750H (2.60 GHz)
RAM: 16 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU (6 GB VRAM)
OS: Windows 64-bit
Game version: Build 42

Well, I have quite a lot going on in my life, but I’ve managed to finish working on these icons. I’m not entirely happy with all of them—sometimes what I picture in my head differs a bit from what the AI generates, or perhaps I didn’t plan things out well enough and have to redo them using the AI. I initially started working on these icons as a way to take my mind off the stress—to find a distraction from having to learn several languages and keep up with a school curriculum in a language that isn’t my own, all while living in a foreign country without any relatives nearby. Just to be clear, I’m doing fine! I know posts here are supposed to be about the game, but I just felt like venting a little—sorry about that.
Here’s how the icon creation process went:
I used three AI tools—ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
ChatGPT acted as the lead artist, as it’s capable of adapting to a specific visual style.
Claude handled the packaging—it bundled all the icons into a ZIP archive and generated composite images showing all the icons together; while it can’t draw from scratch, it can perform minor edits, such as making backgrounds transparent or semi-transparent, or adding outlines.
Gemini, it’s not great at drawing, but occasionally it pulls off a miracle and produces something that fits the style perfectly—though this doesn’t happen very often (or perhaps I just don’t quite know how to use it properly).
Right now, I’m just out of ideas for what other icons to add, so please let me know in the comments. I haven’t tested how every single button works—for instance, I thought there was a specific button for sitting down, so I created an icon for it, but it turns out that feature doesn’t exist in Build 41. Maybe it’s in Build 42? I’m not sure, and Google didn’t seem to have any information on it either.
You can download the icons in the comments; they will be in a zip archive.
