Zdoom 2.5.0 Crashing-

[hornbrod]

When I try to run the new pwad called Dungeo13.wad by Anthony Vattimo. In the pwad description the author states it needs "ZDoom 2.5.0 at least r(2911). I promptly downloaded the latest version of 2.5.0 from this site, and the pwad still has a fatal error. Here's a pic of the error message:



The top line says Fatal Error ZDOOM 2.5.0 r(2508). The wad author says it needs at least r(2911) to run. Do I have the latest Zdoom version? IB confused. This has happened with a couple of other newer pwads too.

Thanks for your help as always, and I hope I posted my question in the correct forum. -Don

You need a version beyond the official 2.5.0 build, which is almost 2 years old. http://svn.drdteam.org has more recent builds and is updated regularly.

Thanks very much, I was not aware there were more current versions of Zdoom out there. But these are all beta versions, not official, and just scanning through I see there might be a problem with saving games. Don't want that! Well, I suppose I'll try the latest temporarily just to see what happens.

You can very easily make a new folder for the SVN version.

Kind of a poor phrasing but I can't exactly blame either of you, that's what the title bar says.

I wouldn't panic about savegames, if you're starting up new mods you're probably done with your old games by now.
