Bugs [GZDoom] • GZDOOM crash on startup with NVIDIA drivers 566.* and later

Hello

On my admittedly old system (Core 2 Quad Q9550, GT1030, Windows 11 23H2) GZDOOM consistently crashes on startup when using NVIDIA drivers 566.03-572.16

This affects latest version of GZDOOM 4.14, but also affected previous version or two as well.

The launcher window opens fine, but after selecting a WAD and clicking Play Game the following crash window appears.

From the Event Viewer:

Faulting application name: gzdoom.exe, version: 4.14.0.0, time stamp: 0x6761cee8
Faulting module name: openal32.dll, version: 1.23.1.0, time stamp: 0x6435bcaf
Exception code: 0x40000015

Selecting different rendering APIs in the launcher doesn't make a difference, it still crashes all the same.

Everything works correctly with NVIDIA drivers 552.44 and earlier.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Thank you.
