So I'm trying to load some WADs and I've tried dragging the file onto prboom+, using the launcher, and command line.

No matter what I do default Doom 2 starts up, without fail.

The wads are meant to run in Prboom+.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Are the pwads for Doom rather than Doom2? Then you'll need to tell it to use doom.wad as the iwad.

Do the pwads start on map01? If they don't, you'll need to use idclevXX or -warp XX.

Are you dragging and dropping the zip file? You need to drag/drop the wad file itself.

If it's none of those things, tell us which pwads and give more details about exactly how you have tried to load them (e.g. the command line).

No worries.

Incidentally, as of version 2.5.1.0 (and newer) you can just use -warp (with no map number) in the command line, and it will automatically warp to the first level of the pwad.
