						Very Fatal Error
		
								
						
			
			
			
			GZDoom keeps giving me a "Very Fatal Error" report each time I try to load it. I downloaded it on this laptop while it had Windows 7 as the operating system, it stopped working after I installed Windows 8. I tried redownloading the latest release and it still didn't work. I've tried loading multiple different iwads and it encounters the same error every time. I am currently running Windows 8.1 for my operating system, which doesn't seem to have changed anything.

Re: Very Fatal Error
When getting the crash, you'll be allowed to save a crash report to disk, could you upload that crash report?
By the way, GZDoom should run fine on Windows 8 or 8.1, so it must be something else. In most cases, it's graphics card-related, like outdated drivers or not having the needed OpenGL support to run GZDoom.

						There seems to be something seriously wrong with your system. BTW, it crashes while trying to initialize OpenGL so I suspect a broken Windows installation.OS: Windows 95 4.0.950

Re: Very Fatal Error
There is something seriously wrong with it, I'm using my brother's laptop and he is really really stupid about what he downloads.
Any clue what I can do to fix it?

Re: Very Fatal Error
Nevermind, I tried reinstalling Windows 8.1 and trying opening GZDoom again, which didn't work, but just now I was browsing around seeing if I could find a fix anywhere else, and found a thread which seemed to have the same problem as me. It included a screenshot of the error message the person got, and i wanted to make sure it was the same error, so I tried loading up GZDoom expecting the message as usual so I could check that the error code was the same, and for whatever reason it's working now.
