Every time I go to the options and change the resolution to anything besides the default 640x480 the game immediately crashes, I can only play the game in 640x480
OS: PopOS 22.04

This is possibly something to do with SDL and not an uhexen2 issue.
What SDL version is in use?
In case you are using SDL-1.2.15 (any version less than 1.2.16), does it still happen if you use sdl12-compat (https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat which is a wrapper oround SDL2)?
And, just in case: Which uhexen2 version are you using? If you are using the 1.5.9 release version, does the issue still happen if you build from latest source in git?
Had the same problem and fixed it. Here's how:
1) Leave the game at 640x480 but make sure that the option to run it Full Screen in the video options (in the game) to OFF. Exit the game.
2) Run the game again. Change the game to your native resolution (or higher resolution than 640X480) click on Apply Changes. It should change to your chosen resolution in Windowed Mode. Exit the game.
3) Run the game again. Change the Full Screen option (in the game) to YES.
This worked for me. I changed from 640X480 to 1920X1080.
