GZDoom crash (Opengl 3.3 needed)

MrMasch

On a 4b with original psu. Running a premade image of retropie 4.8.7. wich was directly installed with raspberry imager.

Just updated, i wanted to try GZDoom to play custom wads.
Since my last post, source still fails, so i had to instal it trough binary.

Doom crashes on start unless i put lzdoom as the emulator.

Log says "Unsupported OpenGL version.
At least OpenGL 3.3 is required to run GZDoom." (i'm putting the full log in the replies).

I tried updating the driver in raspiconfig but the only Gl is the emulated one. Idk if i am missing something as most other forums just straight up say that 3.3 is not supported.

Any ideas ?

Both lzdoom or dsda-doom can play custom wads, use one of them on the Pi4.

mitu

Yes, unfortunately it does and it's not supported in the other Doom source ports.

This Mod, along with others, is playable in LZDoom with a few tweaks//removals to a few files.
You can attempt to run it with LZDoom then view the Log to see what errors, then tweak files as needed, rinse repeat.

/dev/shm/runcommand.log

If you're not an avid user of SLADE, PK3's are basically ZIP files, you can then use a text editor as needed (recommend 7z, notepad++).
Keep in mind that tweaking//removing certain features of the Mod(s) can really take away from the experience in some cases, or may not work at all.

Also, if you are using a certain Doom Themed Image, there may or may not already be file in ports/doom/mods called myh0use.pk3 (with a zero instead of O) that is playable in LZDoom.

But don't get your hopes up, it's barley playable on RPi5, and even less on RPi4 (if at all).
Even if playable on RPi, it really slows down once you get in the thick of it.

@mitu apologies if this strays from RetroPie focused areas, feel free to remove if so inclined.

@RapidEdwin08 yeah don't worry i'm not expecting a miracle out of the rpi4, even overcloacked lol

seems like it's still worth a shot so i'm going to try tweaking on lzdoom, tho is there really no solution to make gz work ? I think i saw some ppl on rasp4 with it fully working. Is there something i could try to make it work or ami just out of luck ?

Try adding +vid_preferbackend 3 to the command line of gzdoom, this should force the GLES renderer instead of OpenGL. It may work with myhouse.wad, but I'm not so optimistic.

Yes that will make it work. Now will it work for that wad. I don't know.

My hang up when I had a script in my collection. Was it was a unsupported version for certain wads.
