I don't think you can load zip files, you have to extract the wad/pk3 first

I think GZDoom accepts zip if its internal content is the same the expected content of the pk3. Regardless, the application should never crash or freeze, so thanks for the report, i will take a look.

@Falcata Ok, so the problem is that the file is 470MB big and for some reason when you click on a zip file in the Select File dialog, it starts inspecting the file and it takes about 90 seconds to finish. Unfortunatelly, this hang is not in my code, so there is nothing i can do about it. However, if you just rename the file from .zip to .pk3, it will prevent it from inspecting the file and the mod will still work.

I make the rename to pk3 and the problem is solved, as you say is a file inspection problem.
