[4.12/4.12.1] Weird crash to desktop on start a new game, on True color SW with some settings.
Tested on 4.12 and 4.12.1, g4.13pre-15 and 17.
4.10 and 4.11 is fine.

Set following setting to reproduce:
API: OpenGL
Fullscreen: Yes
Render: True Color SW Renderer
Resize Textures: On (this one not sure)
High Quality Resize mode: xBRZ (or any mode, but xBRZ is 100% reproducible for me)
High Quality Resize multiplier: 2x
Start GZDooM, choose DooM2, TNT, Hexen, Strife IWAD on IWAD selector, after the game start and main menu appears, choose new game, select any skill level and the game freeze for about 5 seconds(different IWAD has different behaviors*), and then the desktop appears as GZDooM closed itself. No crash report window appears so no crash log.

OS: Win11 Home 23H2.

*: in Hexen only about 1-2 second. in Strife, just stuck forever and have to force shut down via task manager. I think user maps/WADs can trigger this problem too. Noticed sometimes after it crashed or forced shutdown, gzdoom.exe will stuck on "paused status" in task manager, cannot be force shutdown as Windows complains "Access Denied.". But it can resolved by reboot the system.
