Extremely wacky problem in GZdoom.

[Lucius Octavion]

This problem is very strange. Kate seemed to have the problem as well. I just tried something, don't know if it would help, but when I disable textures, nothing happens, and when I change between high resolution and low resolution textures, the strange pattern just gets larger and smaller in resolution.

[Lucius Octavion]

This is getting weirder and weirder. I just tried running ultimate doom for a change and it appears that certain textures do work correctly, but the same problem persists. Also, animated textures are messed up but they are still moving, so that means that textures are being rendered wrong or something. Very weird and I can't explain it. I've tried doing another clean install and still not working. None of the playing around with openGL options seems to help either. I wonder if Kate solved this problem. If I can't get this fixed I will be very upset...

[NeoHippo]

I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but anyways ...

Run dxdiag and under Display test both, DirectDraw and Direct3D.

[Lucius Octavion]

All tests were successful. I can run other games fine but gzdoom has this frustrating problem. I just tried re installing the latest video drivers with no success. However I noticed something else that may be a clue. In ultimate doom, I realized that a few textures seem to work correctly but most don't.

[Lucius Octavion]

Man, doesn't anyone know what can be wrong here? I tried the new version too and still the same problem.

[Graf Zahl]

The only thing I can imagine is that something in your OpenGL settings forces the textures to 8 bit indexed - but since there is no palette it looks totally screwed. So I'd recommend to take a look at the compatibility settings in your driver.

[Lucius Octavion]

Don't know how to look at any compatibility driver settings... but other openGL apps work perfectly fine for me. Also this started happening by itself for some weird reason.

And here's something screwy. Look at these two shots. I took another one and here's the first one again.

By looking at the first shot, MAP01 from DooM 2, you can see that the textures are all messed up, but the sky texture is working. However,

... In the second shot, E1M1 from Ultimate Doom, you see that a few textures seem to be working, but the sky texture is not. Hopefully these pictures can help...

Man, this just sucks. I don't even know if anyone knows how to fix this. Don't know if you saw this or not. I want to make maps and stuff with gzdoom, and retexture stuff but gzdoom's just messed up now.

[Nuxius]

Go to

Options => Display options => OpenGL options => Enable high res textures

and set this to "no"

What happens?

[Lucius Octavion]

Nothing happens really. The only thing that happens if textures are not set to use high resolution, is that the trippyness becomes a lower resolution, basically.

[Graf Zahl]

Can you please post the startup log created with starting 'gzdoom +logfile log'? I see one common property among the textures that are being displayed correctly (their size is not a power of 2) and I'd like to see what the GL startup code prints for you.

E1M1 - Hangar

[ChupaReaper]

I had similar results when starting gzdoom on my laptop for the first time -i had to disable shaders for texture warps due to no shader support, but that wont be your problem.
When I change the Texture Format under the display\opengl options everything looks like what you I have until I go on the RBGA8 format. So if you try messing about with the differnt formats, that might help...

[Lucius Octavion]

I am already in that color mode to begin with and when I change it, it does not fix the problem. All it does is turn the texture all different crazy colors.

Graf, have you seen the log yet?

[Graf Zahl]

Looks all normal.
Have you tried different screen resolutions?
