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.

Looks like you're running GZDoom under a OneDrive synced folder, and seems, from other reports, sometime give problems.
Try to run the game outside Onedrive, like a C:\Games\Doom folder.

GZDoom was never designed to work with onedrive and onedrive does very wonky things to the filesystem that GZDoom doesn't expect, so it produces errors. This is a known issue and there currently is no will to fix it because the easy solution is just to move it out of the onedrive folder.
