Game crash on wad opening

Post by zeevee »

Upon trying to open any IWAD, the following crash is reported:

"Execution could not continue.
Init Shader 'Default':
Vertex shader:
ERROR: 0:2: 'attribute' : syntax error: syntax error

Fragment shader:
ERROR: 0:2: 'varying' : syntax error: syntax error

Linking:
ERROR: One or more attached shaders not successfully compiled"


This crash begun after editing settings, so that could be the diagnosis, however if so I'm unable to change settings to default, to my knowledge at least.

Go to "Options" and change to the Vulkan backend. This is a known issue on Mac and will probably never get fixed because the person who maintains the OpenGLES backend doesn't have a Mac.
