[SOLVED] GZDoom errors out under "libvpx.so.9"

Post by block_place1232 »

Every time I launch GZDoom (the one from the AUR) I get this error: "gzdoom: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". This only started happening after I updated my system. Does anyone have a fix for this?
