Summary0000457: Visual HOM and bad sprite position everywhere
DescriptionOk, I better show a video because everything looks so wrong....
https://youtu.be/9e4apWeqm-I

Bud doing a resume:
-weapons doesn't show.
-Every menu/sbar/console sprite flickers.
-alot of homs.
-sprites rotating.
-sprites at wrong positions.
-sometimes the distance btw the sprite and you are always the same on screen.
-changing the resolution doesn't fix nothing.
-happens in windowed/fullscreen mode

builds tested:
GZDoom 1.9.0 OK
GZDoom 2.0.05 OK
<---- problem started here

--------------------------------------
adding -glversion 2 and 2.1 makes things more visible, BUT, every 2D display elemens is white, sometimes some walls are going to be black or not, and it`ll randomly crash without any kind of fatal error popup.
-glversion 3 and 3.3 Works fine even with Qzdoom latest build.

Are your drivers up to date? If it starts with 2.1.0 it may be a problem with some more modern features not working.

 It's the latest driver avaliable for xp :(.
But I could try some older drivers...
EDIT: the best old driver resulted this in glversion 2: http://imgur.com/njPmblH
and glversion 3 and 4 works without map homs, but weapon and object sprites are invisible

Sorry, but here you are out of luck. This cannot be fixed in the current code anymore because it is too far gone from a version that still used immediate mode.

If you had a more modern OS with that card a driver update would do the job but here you are stuck with a really broken version.

I could upgrade it to 7, BUT, that's not my main computer (it's a "rescue" computer).
And this guy is running a hmm, 2006 celeron, so with xp it's kinda overkill (this guy gets even killed by facebook when browsing it D:)
Maybe amd just gave up from testing opengl 4.x over xp and fixed the problem under vista/7

The most recent drivers for the Radeon HD5000 series do not have the problems you listed.
Yes, AMD apparently dropped XP support before deprecating the hardware.

Seeing this, I think I have to make this official for GZDoom as well: XP support comes as-is, with no guarantees that everything may work.
