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.

Raze not finding files on Linux

Post by vk4po »

I put my game files in ~/.config/raze like the popup error message says, but whenever I try to start raze it still only gives me the error message of 'unable to find any game data.'

Raze requires everything to be sectioned off into subfolders and only one level deep.

i.e.

~/.config/raze/duke/duke3d.grp
~/.config/raze/sw/sw.grp

... etc
