Hello all. I am having screen tearing issues in GZDoom. Was playing around with window mode when trying to set up OBS and quit GZDoom in window mode, re-opened it and disaster! I cannot access the in-game options menu or console due to the screen tearing, so any solution will have to come some other way (system console?). I tried re-installing GZDoom and re-starting my system and no difference. Problem persists across Doom I, Doom II, TNT, Plutonia and Free Doom wads. Relevant system info and a link to a screenshot is listed below.
Mac OS X 10.13.6
Intel HD Graphics 6000

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.

Re: Screen tearing (from window mode?)
As I said previously re-installing GZDoom from the dmg file doesn't solve the problem. When I remove all the contents of the directory:
~/Library/Application Support/gzdoom/
(all the game wad files) I get the following error message:
iMac16,1 running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (XXXXXXXX) 64-bit Intel
M_LoadDefaults: Load system defaults.
Execution could not continue.
Cannot find a game IWAD (doom.wad, doom2.wad, heretic.wad, etc.).
Did you install GZDoom properly? You can do either of the following:
1. Place one or more of these wads in ~/Library/Application Support/gzdoom/
2. Edit your ~/Library/Preferences/gzdoom.ini and add the directories
of your iwads to the list beneath [IWADSearch.Directories]
# 1 makes sense. # 2 led me to look for gzdoom.ini in
~/Library/Preferences/
but no such .ini file seems to exist. I suspect this is the preference file which is the cause of the problem. Deleting it and causing GZDoom to make a new one should be the solution, no? But this can't be tried without first locating the .ini!
PS: For future reference if anyone else has this problem:
~Users/XXXXX/Library/ is a hidden folder. To reveal hidden files and folders press cmd-shft-period ("."). Find gzdoom.ini and trash it. Relaunching GZDoom should fix it, albeit you'll have to set up all your preferences again from default.
