So, I'm using the newest version of GZDoom 1.2.1 (r548), using a laptop with Windows Vista, and I use ZDLSharp 3.0.5.3 to launch it. Whenever I start a new game, after I pick a difficulty, the game crashes. It does this even without mods, with Doom 1 and 2. I know it was working perfectly 15 minutes ago, all I did since then is change video settings.

Apparently, the problem is some ind of access violation. If anyone needs more information, I'll put it in.

Can you retry with the 1.3.0 beta?

If it still crashes please post the crash log you can save (the one from the 1.3.0 version.)

OK, here's the crash report with the newest version.

This is still a 1.2.1 crash report. Please retry with the latest available beta. From the crash report I can't see what goes wrong but before I invest time in tracking this down I'd like to be certain that the problem still exists.

Whoops, sorry. OK, this should be the new crash report.

I can't really track this down to something specific. I added a few checks in the last bit of code I could identify. Please retry when I upload the next beta later today.

Sorry, still won't work.

'Does this also happen when you start the game directly without the launcher?

Yes.

I can't make any sense out of this crash. It happens when it tries to delete the last level's data - which right after start should not be there. This can't be a general problem because otherwise everybody would see it but from the WADs you are loading I can't see anything in there that might cause it.

This might be related, I had a crash when I tested titlepics in a wad. But it happened even without external wads. It's a crash when I:

1. run GZDoom (without commandline parameters)
2. start a new game from the main menu
3. type "endgame" into console
4. start a new game from the main menu

And crash follows at that point. The crash didn't occure yet with version r419 (2009/08/09) but version "r461/462" (2009/09/17) did crash. And so does the beta 1.3.05.

Maybe my 2 cents worth can be of help.
It's the first time I used endgame at the console, because of simc's post.

What I did was, I started r424, then typed 'ENDGAME' once map01 had loaded, and GZDoom quits to this screen



then I typed 'QUIT' and GZDoom closed and I'm back at the desktop.

Then I did the same with r447 and GZDoom throws this crash report.
I can confirm, that this happens with every version after r447 right up to 06b.

[edit]
Of the downloaded r_versions which I have, r428 is the last one that quits cleanly. Then r439 is the next one that I have and it throws a crashreport

Fixed that one. The original is still a mystery.
