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.

Unable to launch ray tracing Doom.

Post by AwfullyGenericName »

I've recently installed the ray tracing Doom mod, and it is unable to launch forme . A very fatal screen error pops up and redirects me to here, and I'm not sure how else I would resolve it.

Computer Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
RAM: 2x16GB G.Skill Flare X5 6000mhz Cl32
Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite Ax V1
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1Tb
Running on Windows 10

For some reason I can't post the CrashReport.zip file to here because it's 149KB and the maximum filesize per attachment is 52KiB. If there's a way to get around this and let me attach the crash report to this page, let me know. The summary on the error screen says:

Code C0000005 (Access Violation - tried to read address 0000000000000008)
Address: 00007ffd01e25cc1

You need to ask the mod team that created it. GZDoom doesn't have ray tracing features currently.

though, is it likely that GzDoom could get support for it? I did try the GzDoom RTX Mod - and it works really well..
I imagine if GzDoom would get support for it internally, pbr materials are already in, so are model support - and if we could define sky light per sky or sector, as well as dynamic lights being made to support it, and maybe even brightmaps - then it would be a breeze for modders to set up their maps to work in it. I mean to remember that you were looking at it some time ago dpJudas, but that back then it seemed like hard to do, though maybe the new RTX Remix project has some tricks showing how it could be implemented also into GzDoom?

If GZDoom RTX Mod works really well then what do you need GZDoom for? If its to implement missing features then I think its better to ask the GZDoom RTX developers to do that.

If you want a more updated version of GZDoom with RTX support, try VKDoom. It doesn't work like GZDoom-RTX but it's better in so many different ways.
