Frequent crashing ("RT: 3" error) #37

Closed awksie closed 2 years ago

awksie commented 2 years ago

Attempting to start a new game in Episode 1 or Episode 2, or very early in E3M3 Inferno (or attempting to launch the game with Doom2.wad), the game crashes with a cryptic error message that simply says "RT: 3". Very repeatable.

Environment: prboom-plus-rt 1.0.2a Ryzen 7 5800X GeForce RTX 3080 Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (latest updates) GeForce driver 512.15 primary display resolution: 3840×2160, 120 Hz

Repro steps: 1) Load prboom-plus-rt by running "prboom-plus.exe" 2) Launch a new game, select Knee-Deep in the Dead or The Shores of Hell 3) Note the crash.

Further notes: Occurs independent of render resolution or whether DLSS is enabled or not.

After additional testing, it seems this error was caused by modified IWAD files.

While other source ports (including Zandronum, GZDoom, and standard PRBoom+) load my doom.wad and doom2.wad files just fine, they don't match any of the hashes on the DoomWiki for these files, and the file dates are much newer.

I don't know what I did (or was done) to these files, but it's probably something along the lines of having GL nodes built into the .wad or similar.

Anyway, replacing doom.wad with a fresh copy from the The Ultimate Doom retail CD-ROM (1996), prboom-plus-rt works just fine. Thanks!
