No keyboard input when using a .bat file or ZDL

I'd be surprised of your appdata/roaming folder doesn't exist because it's a folder created by the system and a lot of programs use it. It is usually hidden though.

My guess is that there is something screwey about your e:\doom folder that prevents GZDoom writing an ini to it. Are you running GZDoom from inside a compressed folder (zip file or similar)? Is the drive write protected somehow?

The printscreen key takes a screenshot in GZDoom (and in windows it copies the screen to the clipboard which you can then paste into a paint program of some sort).

i meant as in the whole of the roaming folder exists but not he gzdoom one and i think my e drive is actually write protected should i move it to the D drive?

It woudn't hurt to try.

Yeah iv'e just started it right now and it'll take 35 minuets which for me is surprising for a 71 gb folder but still ill catch you later when its done also thanks for spending your time to help i really appreciate it

I have no idea why your GZDoom folder is so big. At a minimum (i.e. GZDoom plus one IWAD - such as doom2.wad) the folder should only be around 35MB.

My Doom folder, with several source ports, several IWADs, some hi-res texture packs and several editing tools is only 14GB (although I have a storage folder for PWADs elsewhere that is much bigger).

ah that'll be because i always go to these forums everyday and download some pwad's since the bigger the folder the better the fun? but i can see why yours is only 14gb since i always have a tab open for game play mods or total conversion's

just realised about what you said about that storage folder all i got to say is wow i mean you in my opinion are one of the best pwad creator's but i didn't expect you to have a folder even bigger than 71 gb

[Yellow2206]

oh btw the doom folder move is 85% complete so im happy if this does or doesn't work either way

[Enjay]

I mean't much bigger than 14GB. I think my storage folder is around 40GB (but nearly everything in there is zipped up, so it should be relatively small).

ohhhhhh right whoops i was just about to say "oh damn one of the most talented pwad creator's has a bigger better doom folder" but i thought of it wrong i guess

the transfer's done i just tried loading the .bat still doesnt work should i just delete every gzdoom file and redownload it?

[Enjay]

If I were you, before deleting everything, I'd set up a new folder that only has GZDoom in it and 1 IWAD. If that works, you can build things up from there.

ok i just tried that launched the .bat and gzdoom just freezes and crashes before it even opens now

i would but i guess this'll just get fixed soon so thanks for helping sadly it didn't work but still but you tried the best you could so i guess ill see you another time

[Enjay]

You should give it a go. It wouldn't be any hassle. right-click - new folder. Drop a new copy of the GZDoom zip file contents in there, drop a copy of doom2.wad in there then try to run it from a bat file.

We can't fix anything if we're unable to reproduce the issue. That's why I moved this from Bug to Tech Issues.
