Comment:
'sup i had this issue, basically since a recent release, GZDoom Devs removed by default a line in a conf file that allows gzdoom to search for `pk3` files.
To solve this, head over to `~/.config/gzdoom/gzdoom.ini` and add `Path=$HOME/.config/gzdoom` to both `IWAD.directories` and `FileSearch.directories`.
It will solve this issue.

Edit: imma work on a patch to add this line automatically, in a near future.

I still get the problem even after adding those lines to the config file. In my case at least, gzdoom.pk3 is stored in /usr/share/gzdoom, so the problem is fixed if I add `Path=/usr/share/gzdoom` to those sections instead.

Yep i added a patch to fix this issue in the latest update of GZDoom.
The GZDoom devs don't seem to have configured the search of files in the correct directory by default.
