Faded's Error Detected

UI

Version 0.3.4 · Updated Oct 28, 2026 · 575.3 KB · 13 downloads · FadedsErrorDetected

A diagnostics command center for Project Zomboid. Faded's Error Detected (FED) captures errors safely, attributes them only from real evidence, and presents searchable reports behind a scalable Faded detective alert.

Escape-menu diagnostics

A dedicated DIAGNOSTICS entry in the in-game Escape menu.

Ring-safe capture

Tracks both the engine's total error counter and its 40-entry list, merges split stack traces, deduplicates repeats and reports evidence lost during bursts.

Evidence-only attribution

Names a mod only from verified engine MOD tags, explicit mod paths or vanilla markers. Otherwise it says Unattributed.

Reports

Per-error, per-mod, update and full-session clipboard reports, a DETAILS tab, and a persistent Zomboid/FED_Diagnostics.log.

Update visibility

Compares installed mod versions with the Faded Local Mod Installer catalog. It never downloads, installs, removes or changes another mod.

Detective alert

Faded's hooded skull-mask character in a deerstalker, scaling 48 to 96 px at 4K. It can be set to errors-only, always visible or hidden.

What's new in 0.3.4

  • Build 42.22 (0.3.4) — the Java plugin was rebuilt and verified against Project Zomboid 42.22.0.
  • 42.21 support — loads on Project Zomboid 42.21 and 42.20. The optional passive FJL performance profiler 1.0.3 stays server-only.

Requirements

Project Zomboid Build 42.20.4+ (also 42.21). The interface is client-local and changes no gameplay, inventory, world or save state. Note: a named mod isn't automatic proof of root cause, because dependencies, load order and callers can also be involved.
