GZDoom keeps crashing on me and I don't know why.

Post by Guest »

My game keeps crashing almost instantly when I try to load GZDoom. It doesn't matter whether I use custom wads or not. I'm using the latest version as well. Is there a fix for this?

I'm not sure what I should share here to help, so I'll just copy some things from the report I saved:

GZDoom version g4.5.0 (3037c08840f209f9f6b6d7e6c2c69632472a5d54)
Command line: C:/Users/Anon/Downloads/Doom (General)/gzdoom.exe -iwad C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Doom 2/base/DOOM2.WAD
Wad 0: gzdoom.pk3
Wad 1: game_support.pk3
Wad 2: DOOM2.WAD
Wad 3: game_widescreen_gfx.pk3

Not in a level.

You need to post a complete crash report, i.e. a .zip file.

Alright here's the crash report, LZDoom works just fine and GZDoom worked when I first started using this computer so I'd like to make sense of all this.

According to the stack trace in the report you provided, your Intel graphics driver is calling a null pointer.

Try updating your graphics driver.

Also I am stickying this because it's starting to seem like this is a fairly common issue.
