Gzdoom 2.3.2 (in OpenGL mode) completely black upon loading

Recommended Posts

There are quite a few ways. One way being if your gzdoom.exe was in c:\doom\, you'd enter the command prompt, type "cd c:\doom", then type "gzdoom.exe -glversion 2". Alternately, either create a gzdoom shortcut, right click it, click properties, and then add "-glversion 2"; or create a batch file next to gzdoom.exe by going to folder options, uncheck "hide file extensions", create a .txt file next to your gzdoon.exe, change the .txt to .bat, then edit the file so it says "gzdoom.exe -glversion 2"

You didn't mention your OS, your gfx card, which drivers you have... basically "why the black screen in Opengl guys?" isn't very helpful

Sorry about that.

It's a Windows 7 machine with 8GB RAM 2.90 GHZ clockspeed. I can't figure out how to ask the computer to display what my video card is, even after Googling.

Try the following:

gzdoom.exe +logfile lotsofstuff.txt

When the screen goes black, press Alt-F4.

You should get info about your video card in the "lotsofstuff.txt" file it generates.
