So there was an update through galaxy a few fours ago, and since then it seems to have forgotten its a GOG version of the game and wont open.
Is anyone else getting this?
Thank you.

I'm having the same issue. You can go into settings and disable auto-updates, and then rollback to the last patch to play while we wait for a fix. Hope that helps.

I had the same issue. I opened the file 'ProjectZomboid64.site.json' using notepad and edited this line, from '"-Dzomboid.steam=1", to '"-Dzomboid.steam=0", saved it and fired up the game. That fixed it.

Thanks Manse. Works.

Have a great weekend,

Worked for me too. This post should be marked as the solution.

Hi,

We've uploaded a new build with the workaround included in this topic so the Windows version should now work correctly out of the box.

My fault, as I relied on Steam to provide a fresh, virgin copy -- forgetting that it wouldn't purge extraneous files. A json file for debugging issues with the GC (.site.json) was left in.

Sorry, everyone. Will keep an eye out for it in the future.
