every. fucking. time i'm trying to load the pk3 on default but it keeps loading in zandronum
Are you using the latest alpha version of Zandronum? (not the stable ones)
no like im just using the pk3 in general not the all in one
Do you get this screen when trying to launch the mod?
yes
Which exact version of Zandronum are you using?
how should i know
When you have Zandronum launched, it will be literally the name of the window that runs Doom.
the thing is, is that i have no actual instances of a doom wad so i can tell what version it is
Is your Zandronum correctly linked to a DOOM2 wad?
