Problems with GZDOOM.

[Anth64]

Hello everyone,

 

I am having issues with gzdoom. Firstly, when launching gzdoom and checking both my terminal and in game console it says I am running an unknown version of gzdoom. I am running void linux and have tested this both from compiling from source, and from the package repository provided by void linux. I am running gzdoom version 4.6.1.

Secondly, I am having issues hosting net games. I join net games with no issues, but cannot host them. When I host, it just hangs with this output.

Done waiting.

Did I somehow break gzdoom when installing a different package, or updating it? Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Just a quick update, I tested gzdoom on my laptop which is also running void linux, and it works with no issues.

Try to look in on the ZDoom forum Networking

for example

 

It is very important to remember that all players must run the exact same version of GZDoom.

It's probably saying "Unknown Version" because it's a bleeding-edge build and version numbers tend to not really matter for those. I mean, August 10th was only yesterday, but the last standard release of GZDoom (4.6.1) was July 25th.

 

That said, technically, it'd be gzdoom-x64-g4.7.0pre-101-g39513cf7a.

 

I'm also not sure why it's not displaying anything as it should still display that, I think... but point is that for general use, you'd probably want to stick to the standard builds.

Well I think I fixed the issue. Void packages uses the most recent stable release of gzdoom, but for some reason I guess my installation somehow got corrupted. I removed all files relating to gzdoom, after I used my package manager to uninstall it. Then I re-installed it and now it is using the most recent stable release.

I have no idea what went wrong with my installation of gzdoom, but it is now working.
