Project Zomboid 42.x Linux version on FreeBSD. Wine version already worked out of the box but this one needs a little love to get running. 👍

The one I tested before was 41.x Linux (forgot to update it) for version 42.x I implemented 2 syscalls in Linuxulator but in the end it was just a small change in a json file. 🤣

But it made the Linuxulator shut up in the logs a bit so it's still a win.

GOG version.
Use Ubuntu 22 files in a chroot.
Install via sh setup_projectzomboid.sh

In game/projectzomboid/ProjectZomboid64.json change "-XX:+UseZGC", to "-XX:+UseG1GC",

Run the game in a Linux chroot. (su -m ; chroot {linux} ; su -m {your user}; start the game via `sh start.sh`)

Enjoy!

👍
