ati card and gzdoom

[neilcaine]

I only found out about gzdoom a couple of months ago and it improves Doom greatly but I've now run into a major problem as i've upgraded my nvidia 8800 to an ati 5850, - gzdoom will now not run at all and comes up with an error screen every time after running a few lines of script. I've tried adding an older atioglxx file to the gzdoom directory as some sites suggest, but it has no effect - quake runs ok and that is an opengl game so i wondered if anyone had another fix or if it can be fixed in a future version of gzdoom

"As some sites suggest" -- do you mean this? http://forum.drdteam.org/viewtopic.php?t=4820

I found a simple solution (until ATI fixes the problem which could take ages) - get atioglxx.dll file from older Catalyst driver suite and put it directly in GZDoom directory. Tested with atioglxx.dll taken from 9.10 driver version. GZDoom now works correctly again

(Looks like the current ATI OpenGL driver doesn't work with GZDoom since they updated it to support OpenGL 3.2)

yes that wa the solution i tried but after trying the atioglxx files from 9.1 and 9.5 and even going back to 4.11 drivers, - putting the file into my gzdoom directory, i don't think it's going to work for me

You have a better chance in downgrading your drivers. Sometimes using a single DLL will just screw thing even more.
