Again GZDoom - Sound Present, But No Screen

Post by lzvk25 »

The last version that worked correctly for me was :

gzdoom-g2.1.pre-752-g7701d54.7z Mar 16 2015 03:07:00

Since then, all the subsecuent versions have failed, when I start the program, there is only an attempt to display something but dissapears very quickly and only the game music and sounds can be heard.

As in a previous post that I read in this forum, I created a log using the following command :

C:\Zdoom2100\gzdoom.exe +logfile C:\WADS\L5\zdl-log2.txt
Spoiler:
And also here is a screenshot of the characteristics of my graphics card :

So, could you please take look at this recurrent issue ?
Thanks

Finally found the problem.

Maybe somebody should have told us that you are using a new file "gzdoom-xxxxx.ini" to keep the configuration instead of the old "zdoom-xxxxx.ini" (where xxxxx is the name of your PC).
:x

So, I copied the the old zdoom-xxxxx.ini to gzdoom-xxxxx.ini, started the game and GZDoom made the corresponding changes and everything worked fine.

So, please tell us when you make a drastic change like this one. This could have saved us a lot of headaches.
