H1Z1: King of the Kills known issues and how to solve them

Game won’t start

H1Z1 has many reports about it’s non-starting issue, leading us to believe that something is wrong with its optimization. One player from Steam discussion forum described his problem: Our initial thought was that some files are corrupted or incomplete, but an integrity check and reinstallation should resolve t. So, what to do in this case? These are some alternative steps you can take to resolve this issue:

Make sure you meet the minimum system requirements. OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (64 bit only) Processor: Intel i5 Quad-Core Memory: 6 GB RAM Graphics: nVidia GeForce GTX 280 series or higher DirectX: Version 10 Network: Broadband Internet connection Storage: 20 GB available space Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Sound Card Create a firewall exception or temporarily disable your firewall. Run the game as an Administrator. Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows 7. To do so, right-click the game application, navigate to LaunchPad.exe and open Properties. Under Compatibility tab, set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and try again. Use sfc/scannow in the Command Prompt to fix possible corruption in System files. Update GPU drivers.

Low FPS and lags

If you’ve managed to overcome initial problems and start the game, there’s a chance you’ll experience performance issues. Some players report many FPS issues and lag even though they’re running the game on powerful machines, like this participant on the Steam discussion forum: There are a few things you can do to improve your overall experience and reduce lag while maintaining playable FPS levels:

Again, make sure to meet the system requirements. Even the slightest drawback in the configuration can render the game barely playable or unplayable at all. Update your GPU drivers. Here’s where to find appropriate drivers: AMD/ATI NVIDIA Intel If you own a dual-GPU laptop, make sure to run the game with the dedicated GPU instead of the integrated one. You can set that up in the Catalyst/NVIDIA Control Panel. Lower the overall quality of graphics. While in the game, tap Escape, open Settings and reduce the graphics quality under the Graphics tab. Lower the game’s resolution. Navigate to Settings > Graphics and lower the resolution to improve FPS and reduce lag. Decrease Render distance. With this feature lowered, you should be able to moderately increase FPS. Open Settings and, under the Graphics tab, reduce Render distance to Low.

Connection Issues

Connection issues are the thing of its own. Every online game is highly dependent on a stable connection. However, when the game isn’t exactly the best-optimized title ever, your bandwidth may be the last thing to worry about. Nonetheless, we prepared some steps you can take to reduce connection issues. At least the part you can affect. SPONSORED

Use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi. Restart your router. Disable your firewall while playing. Check your ports. These are the ports you should check: HTTP (TCP-80) HTTPS (TCP-443) UDP-20040 through UDP-20199 UDP-5062. Check your PING. Make sure that servers are up.

Keybindings won’t save

Some users report issues with keybindings. Namely, after every fresh start, the game restores the default keybindings instead of custom. This is what one of the members of a Steam discussion forum had to say: This problem is easily solvable with the few easy steps. This is how to prevent the game from resetting your preset key bindings: This should resolve this issue and enable you to use custom keys in the game.

‘G’ Errors

The notorious errors with the ‘G’ sign are most common after an update. Namely, before the update, your game may have functioned as intended, but after the latest patch every now and then you get yourself a G15 or G29 error and everything freezes. It seems that there are a lot of probable solutions but we can’t guarantee that they’ll work. Here’s the list of all known errors and possible workarounds: What are yours experiences with the game? Are you satisfied with how H1Z1 looks now? We look forward to hearing from you in the comments below!

G2 Error

Update your video card drivers. If the issue persists, check here for the system requirements to run the game.

G3 Error

Video card may be insufficient. If updating the video card drivers doesn’t work a new video card may be necessary. Check here for the system requirements to run the game.

G4 & G5 Errors

The servers are unavailable right now, please try again in a little while.

G7 Error

This error can have multiple causes.

Check disk space. Clear some space until at least 20GB are available. Uninstall and reinstall the game. A reinstall will fix any corrupted files that can keep the game from running.

G8 Error

G9 Error

G10 Error

One or more of your game files may have become corrupted. Run the H1Z1 LaunchPad and log in, but do not press play. Click on the Advanced Tools icon (looks like a gear) in the lower left and then choose the option to open game directory. In the window/folder that comes up, locate and delete the following files:

H1Z1.exe UserOptions.ini SoundSettings.xml LoadingScreen.xml InputProfile_User.xml vivoxoal_x64.dll vivoxsdk_x64.dll

Once these files are deleted, close the H1Z1 window/folder and validate your game files using the Steam client.

G11 & G12 Errors

These errors codes are the result of a generic error caused by a graphics or an interface related crash. If this issue persists please make sure that your system meets H1Z1’s minimum requirements and that your current graphics drivers are up to date. In some cases this issue may require that your graphics driver be reinstalled to resolve the issue.

G13 Error

Update your video card drivers.

G14 Error

There is a temporary issue with the game servers. Please wait a few minutes and try again.

G15 Error

A firewall or virus protection program is preventing H1Z1 from running. Set any firewalls and antivirus programs to allow H1Z1 (specifically launchpad.exe and h1z1.exe). Find the steps to allow the game to bypass your protection programs here.

G29 Error

You do not have H1Z1 access on this Daybreak Account. Click here for more information. Usually caused by connectivity issues with Steam. Check for service updates or try back later.

G30 Error

The client failed to receive a session ID from the server. These errors are usually isolated incidents and should not be recurring. Simply close the client and open it again.

G31 Error

We’re sorry, we are not able to contact Steam at this time. Also, please make sure you launch H1Z1 via the Steam client.

If you are launching H1Z1 using the Steam client, then this is most likely a timeout between us and Steam to verify your features. Usually just trying again in a few moments resolves the issue. Also, you may want to check for maintenance (Steam as well as H1Z1 specific.)

G32 Error

We’re sorry, it looks like you are trying to play the game using a different Daybreak Account then what was originally used when you bought Early Access.

You are either logged into the wrong Daybreak Account, or the wrong Steam Account. If you are unsure of other Daybreak Accounts, click HERE for instructions on how to recover them.

G33 Error

One or more of your game files may have become corrupted. Please validate the game assets through the Steam client. Need help on how to validate assets? Click here

G37 Error

There is an issue connecting to the Login server. It may be down for maintenance, in which case please wait a minute or two and try logging in again.

G99 Error

There is an issue connecting to the login server. The login server may be down for maintenance. Please try again a little later. Be sure to check the forums for announcements on planned server shutdowns and estimated downtimes. If there has been no notification of a server shutdown, validate your game files from the LaunchPad and make sure that H1Z1.exe and launchpad.exe are set as exceptions in your firewall/antivirus program(s). The login server may still be shut down without notification, but running through these steps will ensure that the problem is not on your end.

G202 Error

Your game has reached an abnormal state. This is caused by one of the following:

One or more of your game files may have become corrupted. Please validate your steam files. You are having connectivity issues. A bad connection, large lag spikes, or prolonged packet loss can cause this issue. Please check your connection for issues. Do not disable or edit any part of the game client files nor run any third party programs that are designed to edit the game client.’
