Windows - Engine doesn't run

newlix · 2012 Mar 3

hi, I've just installed DoomsdayEngine and the 5 original doom wads (doom1, doom2, doom3, tnt, plutonia)
However, when I run the engine, either manually or via the front end, DE make the Window 'BLUNG' noise and nothing else happens. the output file gives me no clues as to what might be wrong:

Executable: Doomsday Engine 1.9.7 &#91;#425&#93; (Stable 32-bit) Feb 29 2012 12:11:04.
Command line (22 strings):
  0: ..\Bin\Doomsday.exe
  1: -basedir
  2: C:\Program Files\Doomsday
  3: -userdir
  4: C:\Program Files\Doomsday\snowberry\runtime

  7: -nohighpat
  8: -nohightex

  jHeretic
  jHexen
  dpdehread
  dpwadmapconverter
Shutting down the console...

if i run the DE.exe manually I get this:

Executable: Doomsday Engine 1.9.7 &#91;#425&#93; (Stable 32-bit) Feb 29 2012 12:11:04.

  jHeretic

  dpdehread
  dpwadmapconverter
Shutting down the console...

so I have one question: WTF?

thanks in advance for any help.

Please tell us a little about your system, I can see you are running some variant of Windows but I can't tell which.
