Monitor issues

[Toaster]

I have used Zdoom and Skulltag in the past, and I was interested in getting up to date on recent things.

However, I can't get the game to display at all with my monitor.

Whenever i launch a wad with gzdoom (including stock doom 2), my monitor fails to display anything and this text appears:

"Analog Out of Range

133.1 kHz / 239 kHz."

Here is my hardware info:

LG L196W monitor running at 1440x900 desktop resolution

GeForce 9800 GT graphics card

Do I need to configure some settings before I can launch Gzdoom, or is something wrong here?

also, if I could have found the answer to this question with the search tool, i apologize.

I could be wrong, but you may need to manually specify a greater resolution, for example superVGA standard or maybe the current desktop resolution. The settings can be modified within the *.ini file within the .\gzdoom dir.

It sounds like your monitor is sending bogus Plug&Play information which GZDoom uses to detect the best refresh rate. You will have to set it manually in the .ini file then.


Look for this line

vid_refreshrate=0


and change the value to something that works for you, best try 60, 70, 72, 75 and 100.
