[SOLVED!] MAJOR Help With Latest 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 what do you know, it worked!!!. PROBLEM SOLVED! :D

@wildweasel: I'm very, very, VERY sorry about my outburst yesterday. I can get pretty livid quickly when something like this happens to me and next time I'll try harder to be more calm. So for that, I apologize. 8-)

Now let's forget our troubles and celebrate with a nice cold glass of caffeine-free root beer!. :cheers: :thumb:

Peace!

Yes, exactly what I needed. Going by this data, you seem to be running some very old driver software for your video card. I think this is the one you need, if I'm not reading these specs incorrectly, that is. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and try downloading the Radeon Software Crimson Edition Beta. If it gives you an option to perform a clean install, do it.

Okay okay, calm down, please. Your video card is fine, and ZScript would not do this to you. Could you please install and run Speccy and post the specs that it shows?

Then what graphics card/driver should I be using then?. If it's not the graphics card, then my other guess would probably be that stupid zscript addition!!!. It's gotta be one or the other. :bang: :evil:

You got them from the AMD support site, right? Your chipset shouldn't have problems like that, as it does support (or claim to support, anyway) OpenGL 4.4 on the latest available drivers...

I've done that and it still doesn't work!!! :bang:

I'm currently using an AMD Radeon HD 6320 Graphics card/driver/whatever and all the sprites are still invisible!!!...what the frickin' heck is going on here?!?!?! :evil:

Just get the latest drivers for your graphics card.

Umm, just a question...what kind of graphics driver does GZDoom (now with zscript implemented) require?.

If you know the manufacturer of your computer's video hardware, it is best to go to the manufacturer's website. This can be easily checked by opening the Device Manager (you can search for it in the Start Menu's search box), then opening the "Display adapters" branch. If it's NVIDIA or ATI/AMD, go to the respective company's website to find your drivers. If it's Intel, you should probably get the driver from whoever manufactured your PC.

If you have an old ATI card with OpenGL 3.x, yes you need a driver update. Some were quite broken.

I have encountered an incredibly huge issue with the newest devbuilds of GZDoom. The problem is every sprite within the normal unedited Doom 2 wad all appear invisible ingame and I have no clue whatsoever how to fix it!. I'm 100% positive there is nothing wrong with the wad file, but when I try to play the game in hardware mode the sprites are, like I said, totally invisible. Everything else is perfectly fine and the sprites do however appear visible in software mode, but I prefer playing the game in OpenGL mode.

Do I need to update my OpenGL hardware or something?. If yes, then how do I do that?. A step-by-step tutorial would really help me a lot with this serious problem. Also, out of curiosity, does anyone else have this "invisible sprite bug" too?.

(Note: the sprites are invisible in both x32 and x64 versions on my computer).
