Re: GZDoom 2.0.05 and 1.8.10 released
Is this 2.0.05 a stable version? Sorry to ask. I'm really confused about what release is the latest and if it is beta or not.

Any build posted in this section of the forums is considered by the author to be stable, until proven otherwise (which is always followed by a follow-up release such as this).
Given that this has been the latest officially released version of GZDoom for 7 months now, then yes, 2.0.05 is pretty stable.

Re: GZDoom 2.0.05 and 1.8.10 released
I tried running 2.0.05, and, as expected, it wouldn't run because I don't have OpenGL 3.0 or higher. I have looked into how to download and install it, but it is confusing as heck for a relative novice.
I tried running 1.8.10, and got an unexpected "glew32.dll missing from your computer" error. Again, I looked into getting glew32.dll, but it is another freaking maze of copying & pasting relevant files into different system folders. Fixed.
This is no reflection on the efforts to update the engine, but I am going back to v1.8.5

That is very strange since glew32.dll is included in the gzdoom-bin-1-8-10.zip download.Rex Claussen wrote: I tried running 1.8.10, and got an unexpected "glew32.dll missing from your computer" error.

You cannot 'download and install' it. Either your graphics driver supports it or not. What kind of graphics hardware do you have anyway?

These are the specs of my computer in question:Graf Zahl wrote:You cannot 'download and install' it. Either your graphics driver supports it or not. What kind of graphics hardware do you have anyway?
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
DirectX: 11.0
Chipset: Intel 4 Express (Internal)
Dedicated video memory: 64 MB
My other computer has these specs (although I haven't tried to run the newer GZDooM versions on it):
Processor: Intel Core 2 4400 @ 2 GHz
RAM: 2 GB
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit
DirectX: 11.0
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 240
Dedicated video memory: 1024 MB GDDR5
My apologies. I checked, and you are, indeed, correct. I copied glew32.dll to my GZDooM folder and v1.8.10 runs fine.Kappes Buur wrote:That is very strange since glew32.dll is included in the gzdoom-bin-1-8-10.zip download.

Re: GZDoom 2.0.05 and 1.8.10 released
Should it be a bug report, or is it not worth it because it only concerns the old 1.8 branch?
Voxels combined with vertex buffers cause crash on some hardware limited to OpenGL 3.3.

I figure if there's a 1.8.11 release one day it might be worth it to address the issue.

No idea, but if they 'seem' to require GL 4.0 there's a bug in there that should be fixed, not just slapping another check around it. But since I do not have any hardware to test it with, I can't really investigate.

Re: GZDoom 2.0.05 and 1.8.10 released
Any chance for the release of GZDoom 2.1 or is it delayed until Randi posts an official topic for ZDoom 2.8.0? I ask as I noticed 2.2pre in the GitHub pages

I wanted to wait for Randi's news post. The builds are ready for deployment. If tomorrow morning noting has happened i'll post them anyway.

I only have one computer with a dedicated graphics card, so I'll need to run v2.1 only on that machine. Sadly, I'll need to continue to use v1.8.10 on my other 2 computers, as they only have integrated graphics chips.

You can replace 1.8.10 by 1.9!

V1.9 and V2.1 are exactly feature compatible - but V1.9 is a continuation with V1.8.10's graphics engine (and bugs that affect one or the other, may not be in both).
In fact, I think V1.9 and V2.1 might even be netplay compatible - I think the only thing that's different between them is the renderer. (Just tested - they are)
