[fixed] Won't even start!

YouTube · Post by **Nash** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 17:21

I can see the console startup, but when it starts loading the title screen or TITLEMAP, GZDoom will just quit without any error messages or logs.

I can hear a split second of the title music before it bombs out.

Here are some startup console logs.

With a fresh install (created a new directory, placed DOOM2.WAD and copied GZDoom into the new directory):

i have no problem with 1.0.17

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 20:57

Me neither.

Are you using some super-advanced GL function in the latest GZDoom? Something my hardware (GeForce4 MX 440) doesn't support?

Other GL games work just fine.

To make things worse, there's no error message. GZDoom simply closes without saying anything at the titlescreen.

Can you get it to start in software mode? (Just in case it's not opengl related at all.)

YouTube · Post by **Nash** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 22:04

Yeah, as mentioned in the news thread; editing the INI and setting gl_nogl=false will get 1.0.17 to start.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 22:27

Indeed it did. It called the shader deinit function which logically shouldn't run on such an old card.

Try

http://grafzahl.drdteam.org/gzdoom/GZDo ... 1-0-18.zip

I'll make it official when you confirm that it works.

1.0.18 fixes the problem. Thanks a lot, Graf.

Sorry for the crappy hardware. XD I've had some new computers setup in my recording studio recently, so that leaves me with two spare Pentium 4 systems which I plan to convert to gaming systems. My friend sold me an ATI Radeon 9550 real cheap so I can't wait to try that. I've been hearing bad stories about ATI cards but I hope this will be fine.

In other words: I'm getting rid of this rig (Athlon 2000XP, 512 MB RAM, GeForce4 MX 440) soon (yay!).

Likewise, 1018 is OK on a Radeon Mobile 7500
