Ok all games were working, I got offered an update from zandrodum, I clicked yes, it updated, then after that update every game Iclick on(that has players in it) does not work.

What happened how do I fix it?

Can you take a screenshot of what you see when you try to join a server?

I guess but its different every time with every game/mod, basically a load of red lined script fails and the game failing to start then I get the menu screen for doom/the mod and have to quit , EVERY TIME for all mods/games. Before the update it worked perfectly

Take at least one screen and we'll see what can be done from there.

This sounds like you are using the wrong version. But like Marcaek said, please take a screenshot or atleast copy the red lines so we can make sure.

the last words of the text says please make sure u r using the exact same wads


also it all says freedoom at the top of the box after the update but i was using normal doom before why does it now say free doom?

Make sure that your doom2.wad file is located along side your other WAD files. If it is already there then delete freedm.wad, freedoom1.wad and freedoom2.wad and then try joining any game.

Try running the game in a window, you can do that by changing from fullscreen in your options, or pressing alt+enter while ingame. Then take a shot.

Apparently doomseeker have installed freedoom for you (or you have installed it accidentally) while it was updating and now it is using it instead of doom2.wad. That is why you are getting the "make sure you are using the exact same WADs" message even if the the server you are trying to join doesn't use any additional WADs. It won't tell you that you are using freedoom2.wad and you have to use doom2.wad

First you have to know where your wad/pk3 files are being downloaded. launch doomseeker and from the options menu choose configure. then click on File Paths and you will see something like this:

[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]

The paths you will see are different from the ones in the picture above. Open the paths shown for you in your computer and go to the one which has .wad/.pk3 files in it. That is where the mods and freedoom has been downloaded. Place a copy of doom2.wad in there then try joining any game.

If it still says freedom while loading then remove freedm.wad and freedoom1.wad and freedoom2.wad from the wads folder and try again.
