Freeze playing DOOM II MAP16 [1.9.9-stable]

gaydoomer22

i have played all of the dooms on the earlier 8.something versions of doomsday with no difficulties. i recently got the latest edition bc im trying to get some classic doom in with all the new goodies (ie jdoom resources hi rez textures etc.) before D3BFG comes out next Tuesday. i played ultimate doom with no worries. i played up to level 15 in doom 2 no problems. however i updated my ATI Radeon card drivers today (which should have no bloody effect on this) and when i tried to start map 16 on doom 2 it would play normally for about 5 minutes into the map (i like to take my sweet time) and then totally freeze and become unresponsive. i went back and played thru the first 4 levels of doom 1 and played through the first 2 levels of doom 2 with no problems. but i went to play map 16 and bam it did it again. now the last time it did it i just terminated the doomsday.exe process and warped to map 17 the next time i started doom 2 instead and got through that map with no problems at all. so im wondering if the latest version of Doomsday 9.whatever has issues that i dont know about? or is it just bc that map has super-spawning-apocolypse-of-doom and it makes this edition run slow with all the addons going?

i dont understand it. just played maps 17 and 18 again and nothing. its like the newest doomsday doesnt like map 16 of doom 2. *shrugs*

What sorts of actions were you doing or had just done in Map16 when it crashed? Were the actions you performed right before each crash the same and/or similar?

What are your computer specs (OS, 32bit, 64bit etc)?

Latest stable build or unstable?

actions: just simply playing the game really. i did seem to think it might possibly be me picking up a megasphere for a second there but when i didnt pick it up it still did the same thing to me

specs just vista home premium 32.

and all i know is i downloaded the latest build like last month late last month or so

it froze no matter what i did tbh. it didnt matter if i just stood there for a few minutes it still froze

build 1.9.9 i believe. bc i had downloaded a beta for a 1.9 awhile back and im sorry but it was total crap so i just went back to the 1.8 i had running. but i think the one i got recently is 1.9.9

Ensure you are running the current stable release of Doomsday 1.9.9. There were a couple of builds released a month or so ago which do have a known issue with MAP16 of DOOM II.

BTW: Please use the edit button in future if you want to add more details rather than submitting a new post. It makes the forum look a mess when there is a stream of posts all by the same author.

so the problem is only with map 16? any idea why? there arent any problems with running final doom or the master levels (other than some texture issues ive already discovered with a couple ML maps)? bc all i did with those two was making sure they ran. hell i even have Doom 2 No Rest For The Living running and that runs very well. but just that one map...lol.

and sorry about not using the edit option im just a noob.

I have just played through MAP16 of DOOM II myself using the latest stable 1.9.9 version of Doomsday and encountered no issues.

Please try disabling all your add-ons to see if that makes any difference.

Try disabling the music and seeing if it still crashes.

I don't mean lowering the volume; I mean going to settings, then sound, in Snowberry and checking the disable music option.

Off topic, but I noticed an influx of new members recently, which can be a good thing since it means this project is gaining more popularity and more activity.
