ZDoom 2.0.98 Bugfixing bugfix release

[Graf Zahl]

That might be it. I think it's the stencil buffer I am requesting. Your driver first tells me that everything is ok but when I try to get the rendering context it fails. It should fail much earlier when I try to set the pixel format.

Well, gzdoom's gl mode doesn't work in fullscreen for me so try GL windowed

I'm surprised you can figure that out from one error line. It would be nice however if GZDoom doesn't try to set it to OpenGL mode on startup, (since it screws up the window positions on my second monitor, but that's irrelevant) so it doesn't conflict with video cards that are so freakin outdated.

You obviously misread my last post. I don't think that I really need to repeat myself about what the problem is.

99% sure it's a vexing bug. This video card (S3 Savage ProDDR) does not support OpenGL 1.2 at all. It either forces programs to switch to software mode, or it renders everything as white.

No. I read it

If you set the renderer to software in the menu it won't try to init OpenGL first.

But it seems that you didn't understand it.

That's precisely what card I have too, and I too get a big white screen with 0.1fps.

Damn OpenGL...again...

(yay for software mode, that is, providing 3D floors work in it...)

3d floors work just fine but you will not be able to see them.

Isn't it time to buy something better? Even a modern low end graphics card is enough to play Doom in OpenGL at a decent frame rate.

What if you are stuck with a really nice laptop with a crappy video card?

(This ThinkPad rocks in every way but it has a SuperSavageIX that doesn't handle D3D.)

Find the nearest trashcan!

Awesome.

Oooh, 85% recycled Graf Zahl!
