Back in my day we had REAL source ports that were just .exe files and had to walk through 8 foot deep snow dragging a computer the size of a small bus to the communal power point located deep in the mountains to use them.

 

Luxury!!

 

Back in my day I had to write the source code out for the executable every time I wanted to play the game! My old coal fired computer was very forgetful! It was tough, I often ended up with Imps shooting me with BFGs and Spiderdemons not attacking and giving me these weird slightly flirty looks that will haunt my nightmares till the day I die, but I was a better man for it!!

 

Communal power point indeed!

 

Where was I? Oh right.

 

Yeah OP, you kind of come off as a bit of a knob in your post. If there is an actual point in there somewhere I could not find it.

GZDoom works fine on my 10 year old laptop.

 

Wait, you're supposed to upgrade your hardware THAT often?! No, screw you! I'm stickin' to this until prices get saner. I don't know if I should blame the ridiculous unrealistic Brazilian hardware import taxes / Brazilian economy in general, or just blame it on America as usual. Ehh, I'll go with the latter, it's more fun :^)

Mods are probably gonna lock this thread now, cause of the political jokes.

If you look at a previous post, you can see it.

[wallabra]

No, he was being sarcastic. And what I said wasn't really a political joke, it's like a parody of the trope of blaming things in America, I don't intend to bring politics into this.

 

(And yes, I am from Brazil, before you ask!)

My computer is crap, time to complain that my crap machine can't run a modern engine like GZDoom. my machine is a toaster so gzdooom dev sucsk.

 

GZDoom isn't the same as the original doom.exe/Doom2.exe, it is a modern engine that is still being developed to this day so saying "I dont need modern equipment" is silly and downright Ignorant.

So...i will never know what GPU was the problem? :(

[xX_Lol6_Xx]

If you want a GZDoom that runs in your machine, go to dsdarchive.com, go to the ports section, and choose an outdated GZDoom, that way you have A GZDOOM that will run in your potato. If you want a vanilla style gameplay, use DOOM2.EXE or Chocolate. Simple

 

"But hey, I want the mod support of GZDOOM, but I want a vanilla look and gameplay" Use software renderer and change the compatibility to Doom (Strict)

Again, simple.

Must be an older Onboard GPU or CPU/GPU Combination that shares the RAM.

Lets investigate these complaints.

 

If GZDoom does not run or not run well on your rig then you are using an OpenGL 3.x card or lower - The first of which was released in 2006. Since 2011-2012, even Intel IGP's support OpenGL 4.x, so if you can't run GZ well or at all, then you are practically using a decade old hardware at this point.

 

GZDoom employs a hardware accelerated renderer (your video card) to filter the pixels and to provide additional visual effects. It is just but another option to play Doom and you don't have to play Doom this way (Primarily your rig can't run GZDoom the way it is mean't to be played)

Hate is an incredibly strong word that loses all value when its used for mindless complaining such as this. You want to know why Shrine lags? Because your hardware isn't up to task. But instead of complaining, maybe you can convince @Graf Zahl. He is that developer.

The argumentation here makes your complaint go bunk:

• ZDoom is discontinued. @drfrag maintains a hoist of ZDoom based forks with different GL renderers for different hardware (ZDoom CL, ZDoom LE, ZDoom32). Feel free to try those out.
• QZDoom is a research test bed for cutting edge features that may or may not end up in GZDoom. Rule of thumb: If you can't run GZ, chances are you can't run QZ either.
• LZDoom is a fork that literally supports everything GZ supports but enables this feature set for lower end hardware, such as your own rig. Have you tried LZDoom? Because it runs very well on my rig which is even older than yours.

Resource hacker can mean Hex editing, or it can mean DeHacked. Chocolate Doom supports DeHacked patches, so you can just use Whacked4 or DeHacked in DOS to do the trick.

• If you want to mix Crispy Doom features with PrBoom, make one yourself or check out other ports like Doom Retro or Woof.
• GTA: SA is a vastly different game than Doom so the comparison goes out of the window. At this point in your comment, you aren't arguing rationally.
• Once more you mention ''Resource hacker'' - What do you mean with this?

You want multiplayer, you want to be compatible with vanilla, and you want a hoist of other options and you present this on a freshly served plate of tantrum and emotional behavior. Instead of complaining and jangling like people's hard work isn't good enough for you, try addressing your criticisms with more validity and less upheaval.

 

I do not wish to be patronizing here, but you seem to have very little appreciation for the hard work of others.

Eh my gpu is 13 years old (january 28 2008) (it very use opengl 3.2 sh*t i don't know why it uses that rather than 3.8 or something like that)

 

That defualt option it has texture filtering? 

So that means if i turned off these this means i can run gzdoom like i have a 1993 pc?

 

I used to use zdoom btw but when its like what? 2 years after i saw gzdoom source ports

I hate gzdoom when i tried but when i tried i liked it btw now back to 2021 when i first opened this gzdoom it has good feature than zdoom.

 

So this means why friggin laptop that goes hot after playing a game run QZDOOM?

LZDOOM uses the outdated gzdoom right?

So using outdated gzdoom can run it?

 

Oh can i run the exported exe without dosbox?

 

I heard doom retro but i never tried it 

Well im not even talkin about the game its about the widescreen support at the game

Ehh forget about it

Wait, people are using source ports these days???? I thought that you're supposed to execute and play doom using your brainwaves and stuff.

[DRM-MAN]

Sourceports are so 21st century, now days we directly inject doom into our brains.

Yeah man you gotta channel your thoughts into the DOOM.exe so it can run, or you can astral project into Doom.

I worked all winter break to get a gaming pc for Doom Eternal cuz my Dell XPS 13 can't handle it. It got a Skytech Archangel that has 16GB RAM, an AMD Ryzen 7 3700 X CPU, NVIDIA RTX 2060 6GB, and a 1TB hard drive for...$1200? Maybe you should stop whining, trolling whatever and save up for one too.

 

Edit: If you're wondering, I can't build PCs.

16gb ram no thanks about that i mean my motherboard can't even handle 16gb of ram,

No need for ryzen i mean i have my good old athlon, woah jeez no need to burn my eye on that thing btw i recommend myself 1gb of vram, well that would be very nice but i got a 160gb of hdd already (2 disk if you ask)

Because your card does not support better than OpenGL 3.2.

 

GZDoom requires OpenGL 3.3. This is also stated on the website so any complaint there is bunk.

Strange way of Google Translate your mind does. Texture filtering is something default on OpenGL most of times and no, turning that off won't make you run GZDoom for reasons stated above.

This makes little sense. Are you using a translator? Hola.

LZDoom uses an lighter renderer, so yes, LZDoom will run on your computer.

No idea what you mean by exported - ZDoom and friends is a Windows application.
