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.

[Abandoned] Doom 2 Mod Freezing when Running ZDL on Linux

Post by Neigdoig »

This is my first post on here, so bear with me on this front:

I'm trying to run a pack of 8 mods recommended by a YouTuber (MutantMods) who focuses on infinite replayability through Doom RPG for Doom 2. The mods are as follows:
Doom Roguelike Arsenal, with subsequent monster pack and EXtended
Corruption Cards
DoomRPG, plus DoomRPG for the above mods
Ultimate Classic Minimap
Graveyard
Floppy Disk Full of MIDI
War Trophies

I'm launching using ZDL, and using the Mutant's configuration for Obsidian. My problem now comes when I'm launching with ZDL, I get some loading progress, and it just stops, freezing when the loading bar is almost full. This is done even on 4.12.2, and I tried it on 4.8.2; the freeze was still there. Yes, this is on Linux Mint 21.3 (Ubuntu 22.04-based). This I find to be kinda frustrating, because I really do want to use this pack.

Now, I understand if this gets moved by a mod because I tried to find the right place for this post, and I thought it'd be here.

Update: So after running with DoomRunner, I can confirm that GZDoom is not the problem, and that one of the mods is causing the pack to not load fully, so it's not a freeze of some sort. The load is stuck and it doesn't move for some reason. I'd like to figure out what that could be.

Update 2: So I gave up on that, since it's clear that a mod is not working properly for this pack above. I have decided to use Infinite Doom, which I think encompases what I was trying to do above.
