I'm getting a freeze on the most recent version of gzdoom (version 1.1.04 up to the most recent nash build). The program bombs before reaching the title screen (though i can hear the music playing). I never get the crash screen so i have no crash log to post (the screen fullsizes with the startup box drawn oddly off screen). I've tried running it with the -nosound option, but it doesn't help. I'm running a GeForce 8600M 512mb with 2 gigs of ram and a core 2 duo at 2.5 ghz on windows vista ultimate.

Heres the startup log

It never successfully writes anything to my configuration .ini file. any suggestions on what to try next?

There's nothing in here that could help me find the cause. It's working for me.

I know. I'm running vista under bootcamp on a mac. Any way to start the program windowed or in software mode? I can't find any reliable sources on the command line parameters for it.

You have to edit the ini. In [GlobalSettings], you have two parameters. If I'm correct, for windowed software, they have to be this way:

ack. Alright i'll try it, but since gzdoom never makes and .ini file before it freezes, i'll have to try using the one zdoom generates. Hopefully this doesn't create more problems.

edit. Well so far it runs in software mode and I've made it crash by turning gl_glsl_renderer on, but unless anyone knows of any super secret way to turn off some gl features or has a debug tool i could use I'm stuck.

GZDoom actually uses zdoom-user.ini -- you'll never see a gzdoom-user.ini file.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and just call it an incompatibility with my graphics card. For some reason, it dislikes running anything that uses opengl involving doom. It manages to use d3d mode in vavoom and likes that but until i stumble across anything else, you can just as well close this topic.

Its now fixed. Somehow i missed an important windows vista update that corrected an error that occured with opengl running in windows through boot camp.
