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.

Problem while starting Gzdoom

Post by Guest »

I'm having this problem while trying to run Gzdoom, (with or without mods)
Without any mods it goes to the title screen normaly but when I try to start a map, it shows whis message

Compile Shader 'shaders/glsl/shadowmap.fp':
0:23(29): error: syntax error, unexpected NEW_IDENTIFIER, expecting BASIC_TYPE_TOK or STRUCT or VOID_TOK or TYPE_IDENTIFIER

This same thing happens when I try to run Doom4Doom. It doesn't even start and jumps straight to this error.
This start happening after I updated my GZDOOM to 4.1.0. I use Linux btw
So, what could be the problem?

Are you sure that it worked before? This fatal error is caused by shadowmaps shader which requires OpenGL 4.3 IIRC.

The only solution I can propose is to disable shadowmaps in Options -> Display Options -> Dynamic Light Options menu.
Alternatively, you can add +gl_light_shadowmap 0 to command line.
