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.

Execution could not continue. Corrupt zlib stream

I have over, like, 11 GBs of mods and all of them seem to be just fine when I open up the PK3s and I'm getting this error. They used to work fine, but they just... don't now. If anybody has any fixes, please let me know, I need these mods to work.

Try unloading each of them one by one until the error goes away. Then once you discover the offending archive, run it through a zipfix software to recalculate the CRC's, or if it's one you downloaded, download it again.

Chances are one of the files is indeed corrupt on your system and the data might be irrecoverable - and it goes without saying that you should do a health check on your storage devices to ensure they are functioning properly.
