| Summary | 0000468: Guncaster hangs indefinitely on QZDoom | ||||
| Description | On QZDoom (stable or svn), when attempting to start a game with the mod Guncaster, the game hangs until manually terminated. GZDoom does NOT have this problem. I am unable to give a log, for it does not crash. Adding | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Start QZDoom with Guncaster and start a game with any difficulty. | ||||
| Additional Information | I left the frozen game open for a while and got this message, might just be me having a bad computer:  PillowBlaster (author of mod) confirmed that this bug occurs. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I am not sure if this can be fixed, but will try to address it none the less. The problem here is that the mod loads a rather extreme amount of texture definitions - to the point that QZDoom goes beyond the 2GB limit for memory usage that 32-bit systems (which apparently is being used here) allow. This is coupled by the fact that QZDoom loads several versions of each texture - paletted, truecolor, and mipmapped. The main problem here is the rather extreme amount of texture compositing being done. Each composite loads a separate final texture, and with several versions of these textures, a weaker system simply can't handle it and either crashes or (theoretically) the disk thrashes until everything is loaded. |

This is a mod error that cannot be fixed engine side. The creator has to fix this. |
