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.

OS: Windows 11
CPU: intel i3 12100
GPU: Radeon RX 6600, latest drivers v 22.6.1

my .ini:

Does it launch if you use the OpenGL backend?

0,1 or 2 in vid_preferbackend made no difference.
