I decided to start over. I unzipped gzdoom to a drive on my PC that does not sycn with onedrive and also put it into a folder with no spaces. It is working now. Thanks for the help

I moved all the files to a folder called gzdoom to remove any spaces and also moved it to another drive that does not sync with onedrive and still getting the same error.

Thank you - I discovered two commonalities in both of the crash reports: First one is that you both are launching the game from OneDrive. The second one is that you both have spaces in the pathname where GZDoom is being launched from.

I suspect the first one is more of a problem than the second one is, but those are both situations that I believe are possibly responsible for the issue. This will require further investigation - I am moving this one to bugs.

Thanks. I just tried these and still getting the same error.

I have an older version of gzdoom and zandronum and those both work fine with doom2.wad

doom2.wad will not work with 4.10 of gzdoom.

Looks to be the same issue as this: viewtopic.php?t=77626

so, reposting:

Please try repairing your system files:

Basic gist of it is, open an admin command prompt and type the following commands (one after another, wait for each to complete) - if it helps you can copy these commands and then you can paste commands into a command prompt window by simply right-clicking your mouse.

Code: Select all

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

sfc /scannow
If that does not work or if it fails, try using the Media Creation Tool to update to the latest version of Windows 10 (which also repairs the system implicitly as well)

My drivers are up to date and I have OpenGL API version 4.6 and Direct3D API version 12.0

I have 4.10 installed but it will not launch. I am using doom2.wad and also trying to use myhouse.pk3 and neither work.

"Could not find patch set"

by x-aperson-x » Tue May 23, 2023 8:04 pm

While I was trying to launch myhouse.pk3, as soon the game was about to boot up it crashes and first time it wanted me to download the newest version of GZDOOM. I did that but now It's saying It could not find patch set. i tried ZDL and that didn't work. I tried moving the wad files for DOOM 1 and 2 to see If that work and didn't work and I'm now lost. Can anyone help a person who hasn't touched GZDOOM In some time?
