Back when I used the doomsday source port before I switched to Zdoom, I encountered many errors with Doomsday. The following video shows how outstanding these errors are to visuals and gameplay. It seems the errors are more severe depending on what pc the port is on.

P.S. I'm sure there are easy fixes to all the errors demonstrated in the vid, but I don't know them.

The vid:

If you guys want to see if Doomsday 1.9.0 has the same issues for you, have a go at it.

This is not Doomsday fail. This is severe video card/driver fail. Have you tried updating the driver?

Have you reported these problems properly to the Doomsday devs?

I've seen videos like this to do with Zdoom, Risen3D, Doomsday and I'm sure other ports too. Personally, I think it comes across as a bit crass, smug and gloating to, rather than reports bugs sensibly, stick a video up on Youtube proclaiming the "fail" of the port.

I've installed doomsday on 3 computers
a windows vista pc, a windows xp pc,
and a windows xp asus eee pc laptop.

It only works on the laptop...

The laptop's a keeper, lob the others into the first dumpster you see - they're clearly inadequate. :P

It's definetly not the video card. It is completly compatible with doom95, zdoom, garrysmod, Gzdoom, half life 1, and any other game I've loaded onto it. Plus on the vista the graphics look fine, there is a different kind of bug. For example I could be walking around the level and touch a wall incorectly and be thrown outside the map unable to get back into the playing area.

At the time I didn't know how to report it, and as of now I think they released a new version anyways.

If this were a common problem we would know about it. Fact is, that it clearly is not as you are the first person to report it. The last version release of Doomsday was made over four months ago and in that time not one user has reported a similar problem.

The "wall bouncing" is a separate issue that has been fixed for the forthcoming 1.9.0-Beta6.9 release.
