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.

GZDoom 4.6.1 takes too long to launch
I've been previously using 4.5.0 of GZDoom and it launches immediately, however the new 4.6.1 version takes a long time to launch.

Re: GZDoom 4.6.1 takes too long to launch
That is the oldest build that is publicly visible as of this post.
Does 4.6.0 have the slowdown issue?

Re: GZDoom 4.6.1 takes too long to launch
Just an outside chance - do you have any anti-virus software that maybe doesn't recognise the newer versions (not that 4.6.0 is that new)?
I have seen similar delays with other software when the anti-virus doesn't recognise a program from its white list and needs to "call home" a virus check on it.

Re: GZDoom 4.6.1 takes too long to launch
I think you were on to something, because I noticed just now after running it as admin it launched as fast as it should be. It seems the problem is "magically" gone now as well, after having launched it as admin. I assume that made it "trustable" to the system. I'll keep this in mind for the future.

Never run executables with admin privileges unless you absolutely have to. It's dangerous to do so.IvanDobrovski wrote:I think you were on to something, because I noticed just now after running it as admin it launched as fast as it should be.
