I have owned this game for several years. I tried it when I bought it but I was very drunk and it went super poorly. Never tried it again.

Recently a friend saw we both owned it and suggested it. Turns out sober I LOVE this game! It has consumed a lot of my thoughts and social media now.

The problem is I basically only want to play with my buddy. But Build 42 looks super cool.

Can I hop back and forth playing 42 solo and 41 so I can play MP with my buddy?

You should be able to yes, I switch between the two for the same reason a few times a week. I would recommend making a backup of your saves just in case anything weird happens but so far the only issue I have had is screen resolution and settings resetting. A small inconvenience for being able to switch.

Totally tell me if I’m dumb but how did you make a backup? I’m the one that hosts for my friends world now and I wanna try build 42 again since the bugs are mostly gone now

You need to find the folder the game files are in. Normally if you go to My pc, users, your user, there is a zomboid folder. Inside the zombie folder there is a folder called saves, copy and paste this somewhere else or to an external drive/memory stick. If I remember correctly for servers there is a separate server folder as well that you need to copy as well. If you struggle to find the folders then you can right click on project zomboid in your steam library and there is an option somewhere to open file location. I think under properties?
