GZDoom Vulkan API keeps crashing with Project Brutality 3.0

Post by DoomerNL »

Hey guys ,

As most people know by now gzdoom has a new api called vulkan but if i play doom 2 with no mods at all its pretty stable never crashes,
but when i boot up project brutality 3.0 (test build ) or brutal doom after a bit of playing it crashes EVERYTIME why is that is mods not supported yet with vulkan?

Seem you're running out of video ram and Vulkan doesn't handle that gracefully. Are you using any HQ resize mode?

Crashing with GzDoom is a common issue for Project Brutality 3.0
Use LzDoom instead.

GZDoom should not crash anymore with PB, i believe those crashes are a thing of the past. But if it still crashes you should make a bug report. Which GZDoom version?
The old code was missing a lot of null pointer checks and i added those, that's why i retired 3.83 but GZDoom now uses a different setup and those pointers cannot be null now. I can't remember the details right now actually but as i've said it shouldn't crash.
