screen wipe type melt = crash

[animal_ears]

hello everyone,
as subject says im experiencing a crash everytime i turn on screen wipe type as melt effect
im pretty sure its that becuase i activate it, quit the game, restart and crash.



also another bug i couldnt trace or get any sort of error code, it happens at random just freezes the game completely
the game and my pc too. i have no idea what it is but it is very frustrating since i have to reboot the pc the hard way
and its a pain if im downloading or doing anything else in background. (no its not a problem due to stuff running in background
because it happens even if i have nothing else open or running). the windows key or ctrl-alt-del wont work either.

thanks sorry for eventual bad english

I'm not experiencing this problem. What are your hardware specs etc?

I notice that your crash report lists a number of files being loaded:

Code: Select all

-file brightmaps.pk3 lights.pk3 MM.WAD MMMUS.WAD

and that the crash is happening when you try to play map18. What happens if you don't load these WADs/PK3s (though I am not aware of a problem with any of them) and if you try to play another level (eg just starting a game and trying to go to map01)?

thanks for the reply,

about the files being loaded brightmaps and lights are the files in the gzdoom zip
about my specs i'll attach the report file generated with Speccy

anyway the other 2 files are Memento Mori and the relative music, however both bugs i reported happen
the exact same with all the official wads (i verified the checksums and they match the latest versons)
from Ultimate Doom to Plutonia.

i seriously dont know what else to do, i cant keep rebooting the pc with the reset button and this is the only
software giving me this kind of problems since i build this pc (and i played a lot of games already on this build)

Yes, I recognised the file names. I just wanted to make sure that the problem still happened with nothing loaded other than the IWAD.

Just to be clear, does the game work if you use screen wipes other than melt?

Did you have the problem with other versions of GZDoom? If you have managed to get it working before, are you able to identify which version of GZDoom was the first one to give you the problem?

[animal_ears]

nope..only melt effect

anyway that bug isnt that bad, it just crashes the game

the other one is a lot worse..what could cause the entire pc to freeze completely?
with both windows key and ctrl-alt-del not responding too?

i dont recall anything like this happening to me before..

have you got any clues on what could cause something this bad?
i tried different settng for video, gl options, audio, same thing at random total freeze of the system.

btw this doesnt happen with the current release of skulltag i use to play online if this can help

about the rest i restarted playing again a since last week
i remember gzdoom working perfectly fine last november

Nobody else has reported the same issue, OP didn't reply to a PM asking if the problem was still happening after a bugfix in the melt code... I'm going to close this.
