Oblige Levels Crash Newer Versions of GZDooM

[Boingo_the_Clown]

I have been using Oblige levels as placekeepers in The People's DooM.

Newer versions of GZDoom (4.2.0 is the latest I have) crash with the following error when I access these levels:

Code: C0000005 (Access Violation - tried to read address FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)
Address: 000000013F6E2708
Flags: 00000000

Any idea what this is and what I can do to fix it?

(Forgive me if this has been brought up before. It has been a while since I was last on the forum.)

Please post a runnable sample.

The odd thing is that the pwad chokes only when started from the first episode.

I opened your pwad in Slade 3.1.6 and deleted all GL_x entries, which seem to have been the culprits. Runs ok after that. Addionally, I opened Archive - Maintenance and deleted all unused patches and flats.

And just to be thorough, I then opened the pwad in GZDBBF Map Analysis and deleted all unused textures and player starts 5 - 8 from each map of the first episode. I guess this also should be done for the other three episodes.

Hiding shooters in columns is rather sneeky.

That's great.
I will do the same.
I thought perhaps there were extra entries or something like that. GZDooMBuilder kept saying there were no errors, so I was really stumped.

I really appreciate the help.

Thanks for warning me about the extra player starts. I really want to remove those.

{{EDIT:I removed the GL_x files, and it seems to have solved the problem. I was unaware they existed. Thanks again.}}
