HD Graphics 3000 is DX 10.1 and a low version of OpenGL. You want to use the GLES renderer.

Either use the latest GZ, or upgrade the OS.maclover wrote: ↑Wed Jun 21, 2023 12:54 am but now its just a black screen and 4.07 works perfectly on opengl

You still need the GLES renderer because a HD3000 is just too old for this. And having said that, i wonder if an OS upgrade would even support this old hardware. I am going to guess it won't.

Re: gzdoom 4.08 and higher, barely running on my macbook
The rules for upgrading the OS on a Mac is quite different from Linux or Windows. Mac OS actively checks your hardware and will block an upgrade (or even prevent it from booting) if the hardware happens to be "unsupported" for that version - and it only has a little bit to do with whether the hardware will even run it or not.
