Hi
I am a long time user of GZDoom and never had an issue with it before.
I upgraded my PC to Windows 11 from Windows 10 but as its old I used Rufus to install Windows cause my machine is missing the TPM chip.
Anyway when I try the latest GZDoom or a few versions back GZDoom window always pops up as usual but when I choose 'Play Game' the GZDoom window disappears and nothing happens. I check task manager and GZDoom is running but no selectable window. It wont start.
I have the correct WAD files and everything- as I said I have been using GZDoom for years without issue but the only thing that has changed is upgrading to Windows 11.
I even tried starting with a fresh install of GZDoom and chucking the wads in there to try but it still doesnt load the game!
