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.

zsh: segmentation fault

Post by Guest »

When attempting to launch GZDoom on macOS [10.15.5, 2019 MacBook Air base model] it crashes instantly without an error message. When opening the package and launching it directly as a Terminal app, this is what it spits out [my name has been censored for obvious reasons]

[begin terminal log - i have confirmed this is the console log via another machine that doesn't crash]

When launching from Finder, it should open the usual crash report dialogue. It can take some time when its window pops up.

Except it doesn't, no matter how long I wait.
I've launched it from the Launchpad [F4 on my computer], from /Applications/, and from the desktop and there isn't any error.

I have no other ideas except to install Xcode, and to start GZDoom under lldb in order to get a callstack.

EDIT: On the second thought, crash logs should be saved regardless of reporter window. Open Console app, and choose Crash Reports on the left.

There is no other option except to run GZDoom under debugger then.

Install Xcode, and open it at least once to finish installation.
After that, execute the following command in Terminal, adjusting path to the bundle if needed.

Code: Select all

lldb GZDoom.app/Contents/MacOS/gzdoom
When it loads, type r and Enter. When it crashes, type bt and Enter.
Please post output of the last command.
