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: No menu graphics in new GZdoom
Are you sure you're not running Zandronum in software mode? To play in hardware mode you need to enter 'vid_renderer 1' in the console or to select the OpenGL renderer in the menu.
Your card somewhat supports GL 3.3 so i think it's a driver problem and you need to install the latest amd legacy driver for your card.

Re: No menu graphics in new GZdoom
Yes i'm sure. It always stays in OpenGL mode. And yes, maybe it is a drivers problems, but my video card is no longer supported, so i don't think that i can find drivers for my video card.drfrag wrote:Are you sure you're not running Zandronum in software mode?

Re: No menu graphics in new GZdoom
Then try '-glversion 2' as Rachael suggested but i think either your graphics driver is not the latest or it's bad. I had a Radeon HD 4650 until recently BTW.

I already tried to find GZDoom with glversion 2, but i can't find it. Could you help?drfrag wrote:Then try '-glversion 2' as Rachael suggested but i think either your graphics driver is not the latest or it's bad. I had a Radeon HD 4650 until recently BTW.

Создай ярлык гздума легаси версии, нажми правой кнопкой мыши по нему и в графе Объект, через пробел от последнего символа, добавь -glversion 2 в самый конец строки.
Если создашь ярлык обычной версии гздума и проделаешь то же самое он выдаст ошибку "Unsupported OpenGL version." .

Не знал я что тут русские обитают. И все же, спасибо за наводку. Сейчас попробую так сделать. Посмотрим что с этого получится.Apeirogon wrote:Создай ярлык гздума легаси версии, нажми правой кнопкой мыши по нему и в графе Объект, через пробел от последнего символа, добавь -glversion 2 в самый конец строки.

Re: No menu graphics in new GZdoom
The vintage build supports GL 2 but your card has 3.3. That's a command line parameter to force GL 2.
You could upgrade the graphics driver instead.

Сделал я все так как ты сказал, и результат уже получше но все ещё не тот которой хотелось бы.Apeirogon wrote:Создай ярлык гздума легаси версии, нажми правой кнопкой мыши по нему и в графе Объект, через пробел от последнего символа, добавь -glversion 2 в самый конец строки.

Re: No menu graphics in new GZdoom
But i tried Zandronum 3.0 and it works for me without this problem with graphics. And i think that Zandronum 3.0 uses OpenGL too, and it might be somewhere near 3.0 version of OpenGL. So... isn't it weird that Zandronum 3.0 works for me in OpenGL and GZDoom is not? Also, i have a problems with updating my video card drivers too. Cause, after updating it, i see the black screen instead of Windows loading screen or my desktop. And i googled it, and many people said that, the better option in the case with black screen, is to reset drivers back to previous version. So, i'm kinda stuck in this situation, bewteen playing games with newest version of OpenGL, and not playing them and just skip them and move on.drfrag wrote:The vintage build supports GL 2 but your card has 3.3.

Also, i can't play those mods/games on Zandronum 3.0, cause they were made only for GZDoom. So that is not an option too.

Re: No menu graphics in new GZdoom
Yeah that's typical of those cards, GL 2 is even more broken than GL 3. That's what happened with my card.
Then try LZDoom or upgrade your driver.
Edit: Zandro requires GL 1.4 with some features from later versions.

Re: No menu graphics in new GZdoom
I'm almost sure it's a broken driver. In those cases you should use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to remove the old driver completely and then install the latest amd legacy driver.
Re: No menu graphics in new GZdoom
But i can't do that, cause when i uninstall old driver and install new, then i see the black screen insetad of my desktop or windows loading screen. So, i don't want to risk it.drfrag wrote:I'm almost sure it's a broken driver.

Re: No menu graphics in new GZdoom
But it's a different scenario, you'd be installing a driver from scratch not updating it.
However now i remember the latest driver was a beta (not sure), install the previous one then.

Re: No menu graphics in new GZdoom
I will try, and if it not works, then i'll quit.drfrag wrote:But it's a different scenario, you'd be installing a driver from scratch not updating it.
