GAME CRASHING, NEED HELP PLZ
I finish wrapping up with character creation and I wait a while until I get black screen error message pointing me to the console notepad, and I'm not sure what to understand. There's so many errors, and I can't pinpoint which to fix and which to not mess with.

Has anyone else have trouble with this issue? I've tried uninstalling my game, and it didn't do anything. I would like to go back to playing PZ, so anyone out there, plz give me a shout.

Crashing for me all the time, this wasn't the case in earlier 42.0 versions...
its been awhile since the last update, so we can hope it's been identified and they are working on it... maybe.

at least the crashes are more gentle now... with fewer ground item / vehicle / corpse deletion. So that's good.

On game start crash with in-game message is usually spawn point issue. Which can also be a profession issue since spawn points can be profession specific.

On game start crash without in-game message is usually recipe issue. which is result of missing item called by recipe... B41 didn't care about that, but B42 is bit of a recipe nazi.

^ if its the later, you can find the missing item by :
- opening console log
- from the bottom, search 'stack trace'
- and the second instance going upwards will contain the specific item the game could not find... unless of course there are more errors un-related to recipe hard crash.
