Thanks for the fix.

I didn't even think about the particles being responsible until you said it didn't crash for you. So I whittled down the possibilities in my ini and there it was. :)

That was a crucial omission, considering that it was the particle code that crashed...

Absolutely stock. Nothing else loaded.

However, I just tried deleting my ini and giving it another go - no crash. So, I went through my old ini and found the one setting needed to make this happen reliably.

Starting GZDoom with an ini that contains nothing more than

Code: Select all

[Doom.ConsoleVariables]
cl_bloodtype=1

[Doom.Bindings]
j=mdk
will cause a crash when I centre the view on an enemy and press j.

Blood types of "sprites and particles" and "particles" cause the crash. Sprites only does not.

Does this happen with a modded enemy, or just the stock Doom enemies?

No, does not happen.

I have a key bound to MDK. If I press that key to kill an enemy, the game crashes.

If I press my bound key while pointing at something that is not an enemy (e.g. a wall) a bullet puff appears and no crash.

If I place the crosshair over an enemy, bring down the console and type MDK, the enemy gets killed and no crash.


Steps to replicate:

Start a normal game of GZDoom.

Bring down the console and type

bind [type key of choice here] mdk

e.g. I use bind j mdk

close the console

place the crosshair over an enemy

press your bound key

crash!
