Okay, i'm using windows 98 and i can't get GZdoom to work. can somebody help me here?

Yeah. Be a little more precise. How on earth should anyone guess how it isn't working for you?

Maybe it's my hardware settings graf.

Please be more precise because we don't understand what's happening that gzdoom doesn't work for you

Heres the startup log:

I imagine the most important piece of information right now is what kind of graphics card are you running it on? That would be a message you get if you card can't support openGL.

No. If a card doesn't support GL GZDoom will start up with the software renderer.

Okay, now it finally works by setting it to nogl=true.

Ugh. This means you have completely disabled anything GZDoom specific and are left with plain old ZDoom.

Judging from his processor (500MHz), I wouldn't be surprised if he's using an old graphics card that can't do OpenGL.

I'd say it's about 600MHz. The CPU speed returns roughly 598MHz.

Doesn't that... kind of ruin the point of having the ability to use the software renderer?

When that was added ZDoom was still on version 2.0.98. Then it was useful but today it really is not.

You should just remove the software renderer because ZDoom is already keeping itself up to date... there has to be some differences between Randy's port and your port.

Too much work on removing software renderer nonsense
