Can I start in open gl?I set launch line with -gl but same thing happened?
I do have Win 8 (shock horror)but other users have Win 7 and game worked.
What can I do?Do I need to download D3DCOMPILER47.dll ?

Try going to C:\Users\[User Name]\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\DOOM 64 and open kexengine.cfg with notepad, or notepad++

Then look for the line that says seta r_rhirenderfamily and change it to look like this:
seta r_rhirenderfamily "opengl"

Then save, and try loading the game. It should set the game to run in opengl mode, and not DX11.

Update,I got game to work on win 8.
I was missing a D3DCOMPILER_47.dll file that I downloaded and placed in game folder and then game worked.


It works , Eureka.
