Segmentation Violation from no apparent reason
Hi. I've just downloaded and installed the newest Doomsday 1.9.0-beta6.9. Everything is fine until I choose the starting episode in Doom. Right after I press enter on the episode selection menu, I get the Segmentation Violation error and the engine crashes to desktop. My OS is Win7 x64. The log states as follows:

Segmentation Violation

- I'm trying to launch vanilla Doom.
- The error occured on a new installation of Doomsday 1.9.0-beta6.9
- I uninstalled it and installed Doomsday 1.8.6. That didn't work either. The problem here was with apparently missing gIBSP utility: It runs the game but crashes when I press enter on the "Choose episode" menu with: ...
PS. I've tried launching Ultimate Doom via both 1.8.6 and 1.9.0-beta6.9 and... it worked. Is it possible that the problem lied within the game files of vanilla Doom?
Alternatively it could be that your copy needs to be patched to the latest official version of DOOM.
Official patches are here
If you cannot run doomsday caused by the missing nightmare skill, I can assume that you have Version 1.1 of the DOOM.WAD
To upgrade your DOOM.WAD to the newest version (1.9) download and apply this patch: http://www.doomwadstation.com/doom_revi ... _19drp.exe
After the installation of the needed update you can update your doom version to Ultimate doom. The needed patch can be found here:
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom/19_udpat.exe
Read that text file for some information:

Thank you for your help guys!
