I took the liberty of moving your post to the GZDoom bugs forum which seems a better place for it. However, please familiarise yourself with the bug posting guidelines in the following thread because it will help you make reports that are easier to resolve:

Also, I see from your crash report that you are not using one of the newer SVN builds of GZDoom. You might want to try one of them and see if it helps you:

And even if I found the crash I doubt it would help you. From the startup log it looks like your graphics card does not support OpenGL:

R_OPENGL: OpenGL driver not accelerated! Retrying in compatibility mode
R_OPENGL: OpenGL driver not accelerated! Falling back to software renderer.
R_OPENGL: Reverting to software mode...

What's your hardware specifications?

btw i am getting the same error on skulltag v98d idk why this is happening because it didn't used to happen in the past.

[ead999]

ill attach the file and ill find out the hardware specifications (if i can figure out what that is)

[ead999]

here is the crach report for the fatal in skulltag opengl too. wow i guess its just something with opengl on my computer i wonder why all these errors are poping up on my comp.

[ead999]

o yea and thx enjay

ill attach the file and ill find out the hardware specifications (if i can figure out what that is)

Also, the Skulltag crash report is basically useless here since we didn't compile Skulltag.

i got the same error when i downloaded and installed the 7z file into my gzdoom. i replaced everything that was necessary but i just can't seem to get this opengl to work. im tired of these regular old software render version. its like im just playing zdoom on skulltag and gzdoom.

[ead999]

ok Gez i am downloading the file and ill see if it helps

[ead999]

please tell me all the info you need to help me fix this problem and ill post it right away

[ead999]

i think this is what you need. OpenGL 1.1 (GDI Generic with 2 ext.) driver: 8.56.1.16 (4-25-2009) - GL:atioglxx.dll GL Version: 1.1.0 speed: 2392 MHz OS: Windows 7 32-bit build 7601 [Service Pack 1] GL4.x - Tessellation CL GPU - 4D Quaternion Julia set.

I'm sure thats pretty much all you need to no if not just tell me specifically what you need.

What graphics card do you have? And what driver do you use?
All this doesn't make any sense. You should be able to use hardware accelerated OpenGL, I believe, but your driver does not support it.

[Gez]

driver: 8.56.1.16 (4-25-2009)

See that date? Your driver is very old. Update to the latest Catalyst suite. There haven't been any report of problems since Catalyst 10.12; and they're now at 12.3.

(I'm guessing you need Catalyst because your driver is atioglxx.dll.)

If you still get crashes after you update your drivers, start GPU Caps Viewer again, and click on the "Tools" tab and then on "Full XML export". It'll display a little messagebox. Click on "XML export" again. You'll get to save a file called gpu_caps_viewer_export.xml. Save it, zip it, and attach it to a post here (see the "Upload attachment" stuff below a full editor reply box).

Even 2009 should mean that GL is supported.

Knowing ATI they stopped driver updates for non-GL-compatible cards years before that.

BTW, I still use a driver from 2009, too. Never saw the need to update since then.
