IWAD issue

Post by SpaceMarine » Sat Jun 21, 2014 11:01 am

My friend wants to join a Doom 2 server, but when he starts it up, Zandronum is loading Hexen instead of Doom 2.

......Wat. Never heard of this issue. Hows it that even possible, your server browser should point your Zand the IWAD to use. Have you tested on other Doom 2 servers?

Basically, you cannot use mods with the Shareware/Demo version of that IWAD.
Also, you cannot connect to a server that uses the full version of that IWAD with a Shareware/Demo version.
❗ Don't message me for technical or moderation support.
❔ Use the relevant support channels instead.

Hold shift while starting the game to select Iwad. I don't think your friend even bothered putting the Iwad in the correct folder or pointing doomseeker to its location.
