Z-Island [v0.21] [GTS]

If you experience problems running the game please DOWNLOAD the file attached to this post and extract it’s content into the same folder the Z-Island.exe file is located. Then double click on the “Force DirectX12.bat” file, if that doesn’t work try the “Force DirectX11.bat” file. If game still crashes please DM us.

On another note, we’ve been working on the VRAM memory issue bug, and we believe we have a solution for many players. The issue stems from the fact that the UE4 version of ZIsland writes a configuration in a system folder. This configuration is also used by the UE5 version of ZIsland and attempts to incorporate it, which creates a series of errors and issues for the new game engine. So, the solution is to delete that folder.

If you played a previous version of ZIsland v0.19 on your machine, please delete the following folder before running the new versions of the game:

<YourDrive>:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Local\ZIsland\Saved\Config

If you want to keep your saves, **do not** delete the “SaveGames” folder. If you accidentally lose your saves, please download the file we’ve shared in this post and use our save files.

Finally, if anyone experiences issues after this fix, you can also try running the files to force DirectX. From now on, we’ll include these files in the releases. Simply run the file: **Force DirectX11.bat** and launch the game. You can also try **Force DirectX12.bat** if you want to enhance the graphics further.
