No menu graphics in new GZdoom

Forum rules
Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Well, i tried it out and... i got bkack screen again, after installing new driver. And i nearly managed to install back the old driver. And no, new GZDoom still not working properly, even after reinstalling drivers. So yeah, i think i have to quit trying to make it work, and left mods for Doom behind. Sad, but what else i can do? Cause, like, non of those mods works with Zandronum or, at least, old version of OpenGL, the one that Zandronum uses. And there is a many amazing mods, like Brutal Wolfenstein, Project Brutality, Castlevania Simon's Destiny and DOOM 4 Doom, and all of them i have to throw in trash, by deleting them from my computer. That's unfair, but... i have to deal with it. Anyway, thanks for help. You did your best to help me. Good bye :cry:
Do you know you can simply enable software mode right?

Here's a config file pre-set to windowed 640x480 software mode: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4o990xyy ... m.ini/file

Delete all .ini files in your GZDoom directory and put this one in.

But i can't do that, cause when i uninstall old driver and install new, then i see the black screen insetad of my desktop or windows loading screen. So, i don't want to risk it.

Then try LZDoom or upgrade your driver.
I already replied to you about my drivers updating problems. Check my previous reply that you skiped please.

Edit: Zandro requires GL 1.4 with some features from later versions.

You could upgrade the graphics driver instead.
But i tried Zandronum 3.0 and it works for me without this problem with graphics. And i think that Zandronum 3.0 uses OpenGL too, and it might be somewhere near 3.0 version of OpenGL. So... isn't it weird that Zandronum 3.0 works for me in OpenGL and GZDoom is not? Also, i have a problems with updating my video card drivers too. Cause, after updating it, i see the black screen instead of Windows loading screen or my desktop. And i googled it, and many people said that, the better option in the case with black screen, is to reset drivers back to previous version. So, i'm kinda stuck in this situation, bewteen playing games with newest version of OpenGL, and not playing them and just skip them and move on.

Also, i can't play those mods/games on Zandronum 3.0, cause they were made only for GZDoom. So that is not an option too.

Сделал я все так как ты сказал, и результат уже получше но все ещё не тот которой хотелось бы.

Не знал я что тут русские обитают. И все же, спасибо за наводку. Сейчас попробую так сделать. Посмотрим что с этого получится.

I already tried to find GZDoom with glversion 2, but i can't find it. Could you help?
