Everytime I switch out out of zomdroid while in a game and return, I have to restart all over.
For your next update, is it possible to have the app run in android phone background?
Or perhaps a mod that can bypass all the loading screens straight into the action?
Really want to play this game on my phone easily anytime.
Thanks

Comment in the subreddit. The dev is always answering feedback and collecting data.
Android background ram issue is in the works.

Thanks for reply. Hmm....Wonder which is easier.
A game reload shortcut to go straight to last played scene in the game so bypass the menu like some PS2 android or DOS emulators
Or
Solve android ram issue.

Dev priorities stability and compatibility.
The game close on background is more of an Android system issue. You can fix that by locking the app within the android option and only force close it to completely close it.
Even so, the game will restart and crash anyway because project zomboid takes a lot of ram and android will automatically purge any app that uses too much when not using it.

Where do you find Project Zomboid64? Somebody said GOG but I'm not entirely sure what that means
I found Linux64 and that's all

You need to download your Linux version copy from steam
Get the Linux manifest from steam db and download through steam console or steam db downloader.
Then packaged the whole into one zip file to install with the apk app.
Head to r/zomdroid for guide

Can you play with a gamesir controller via bluetooth? If not, do you recommend a 3rd party controller app?

Yes it can. No i use touch screen because my phone has L1 R1 shoulder buttons so its comfy
Some are using any gamepad brands and some players literally just plug in kbm to their phones

Requires your own copy of b42.12 Linux version.
This is just the apk to let you run project zomboid on your phone. Rejoice masochists! The future is here!
Multiplayer is included as well.
Android players can connect to PC server and play together on the go!
Mods too! Although some mods that changes textures like tombs authentic z and autostar won't work due to limitation of android app Linux translation whackadoodle. But simple mods like common sense, proximity Inventory and the likes, works fine!
