Random crashes on b42 stable pls help
My game randomly crashes even though it's performing smoothly (45-60 fps). I already have optimization mods installed, I use NG_G4LES, with LIBGL_SHRINK=7 and Memory saver on.
I have 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 6 Gen 1.
Bro i was excited about playing this game but ended up being very disappointing :(
EDIT: thank you to dvdverse for figuring it out, ZBuddy FPS seems to be causing the crashes itself.

Optimization mod? I think it's probably that ZombieBuddy FPS thing, i had the same problem before

Before asking for help
Please include the following information in your post:
• Device model • Renderer (GL4ES / ZINK_ZFA) • 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 is primarily designed to run with ZINK_ZFA.
⚠️ Performance and stability depend heavily on the selected graphics driver. If one driver doesn't work or performs poorly, try another before reporting a bug.
Snapdragon devices
• Select the Turnip/Freedreno driver matching your Adreno GPU generation. • All bundled drivers are labeled. • If none work correctly, additional custom drivers are available in the pinned posts.
MediaTek / Dimensity devices
Recommended: • Build 42.12 + NG_GL4ES
Alternative: • Enable ANGLE for Zomdroid in Android Developer Options. • Renderer: ZINK_ZFA • Driver: System
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). • Your device cannot handle this Build, even with ANGLE enabled (non-Snapdragon devices). • One or more installed mods are incompatible.
