blackscreen after fullscreen -> hard reset

[bomse1]

hello folks,

i was searching all over the net to find answers without success. so iam writing this thread.

iam running the newest brutal doom v21 + hell on mars starter pack with the latest gzdoom and zdl launcher. everything works perfectly fine until switching to fullscreen ingame. screen goes black, no error messages, no response at all, no tabbing out possible anymore. i have to hard-reset my computer. starting up the game again results in the same crash over and over again, no matter how i try to start it up (switching wads and pk3s, erasing and reinstalling, trying out zdoom, etc.) so there's no way for me to get to the ingame options anymore.

from what i read online i presume that it has something to do with hardware acceleration or monitor refreshing rates maybe..?

please advise!

greetings
bomse

This is clearly an issue with your driver and/or kernel, which is outside the scope of what GZDoom can control.

What you can try is turning off fullscreen mode, and then using borderless mode, instead.

Simply start gzdoom with "gzdoom +set fullscreen false +set win_borderless true" and try that.

hello Rachael,

thanks for your input. are these command line arguments? iam not sure were to put them.

greetings

[Rachael]

Yes they are. When you have the GZDoom folder open you can simply type the command into your address bar.

[bomse1]

ok i did that but with the same outcome.

[Rachael]

It's likely a problem with your driver then. We'll need full system specs in order to help, here.

maybe this will help?

This helps with everything but your video hardware - do you know what GPU you have, and what its driver version is? DXDIAG can help you get this information.

it's running the 388.71 nvidia driver. i think its the newest.

[bomse1]

in addidtion: i have the "hell on earth" starter pack seperately and standalone in one folder and it works absolutely fine, even in fullscreen mode.

[_mental_]

The starter pack of "the best mod" uses pretty old build of GZDoom (g2.1.pre-1231) and moreover the configuration file is bundled with it.
You can try to use gzdoom.ini from it with the latest release to see if the problem is caused by particular combination of settings.
This may not help though. Fixing such issues is purely a guess game without a direct access to affected PC.

[bomse1]

thank you _mental_. iam grateful for any advise. you are right, its pretty difficult from the distance.

i tried to copy the .ini but it didnt work. still crashing. that is so frustrating

[bomse1]

i need to add something: its not the system thats crashing. music is still playing and the monitor options are still accessable.

it feels like the monitor isnt "triggered" correctly anymore. somehow. i suppose its a graphics card problem. dunno.

[Graf Zahl]

Try so edit the .ini manually and set vid_fps to 60. GZDoom will always try the best refresh rate it can find for a given resolution and there have been rare occurences where this failed.

[bomse1]

heureka, i managed to make it work again! switching to fullscreen still crashes but i found a way to reset.
i tried severel things at once, so iam not so sure what it was: either changing the resolution from 1920x1080 to another one for once or (and thats more likely it in my eyes)
the 'register' and 'identify' buttons in the monitor-resolution-screen
plus
erasing the .ini in the gzdoom folder.

but fullscreen problem still existing.

thanks graf zahl for your tip!
