Game Randomly Freezes when playing WildWeasel's Diaz Mod

Post by Eisenfaust »

I am at the moment, unable to isolate the cause of the freezing with the Diaz mod, although I cannot really fathom how this could be taking place. Basically, what happens when I load the mod is that the game plays fine for some random amount of time until the game basically does something which is the equivalent of hitting the pause button on a movie, although the sounds and music are still playing. There seems to be no correlation in the events triggering the freezes, aside from the fact that they always happen when wwhc-diaz from WildWeasel is in the load list. I have tried numerous fixes to the problem like shuffling load list elements around, fiddling with system settings which I suspected could have triggered the issues, and have so far had no success in eliminating the freeze events. If it may help shed some light on the matter at all, here are my system specs:

GzDoom Version 1.2.01 (up-to-date)
ZDL version 3.1
HP Pavillion DV6000 Laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium
GeForce Go 7150M graphics card
Conexant Audio
3 GB RAM
185 GB Disk Space

I haven't seen any reports of this issue already posted, but if there was another post somewhere that addressed this issue, pelase redirect me to it. If not, then let's see if we can find our culprit who is causing this issue to be present.

Strange that this would only happen with my wad - I can only think of a few reasons why it would completely freeze, and they all have to do with underpowered systems, which your computer obviously is not...

UPDATE: As of this moment, it seems as though the problem went away just by upgrading to the lastest GzDoom SVN verison on the SVN repository server. Very weird, isn't it? Regardless, I'll keep this thread posted in case I run across the issue again...

Not very weird at all. Many issues and bugs have been fixed even since the latest GZDoom release.
