that means you just, type somethg into the command line? i mean is there more context to this?

ionic meteor
#

I have the game open, and I'm setting everything i can with Raytracing in it to 0, if i imput some commands such as that one it spits it out and says it can only be set on the command line

mild loom
#

right, and i suppose your entering ths in the already enabled command line?

ionic meteor
#

maybe?
i have no idea how this works

mild loom
#

you're pressing " ~ " right?

ionic meteor
#

yeah

mild loom
#

and then copy and pasting it?

ionic meteor
#

sort of, I'm typing it out in a cfg file to try to use, then copy pasting it back in to spell check, when it says something that isn't not knowing what it is i know i got the cmd right

hmmm

lemme see where ive seen this before

Jokes aside, are you suggesting I am missing something? I just gave my rig an overhaul with the a 5090 and 64GB of RAM. I don't know what sort of performance I should see with Path Tracing. It also was super bogged down for Cyberpunk when I tried it, so I just assumed PT was OP for most graphics cards.

Pulverizer is the best weapon in the game for UN

#

I have slandered it enough, I was wrong. Pulverizer is the best weapon in the game up to chapter 13

It seems garbage though what makes it good

cinder estuary

It has the best clears up to chapter 8, and up to chapter 12 it has the safest setups

Does it really have the highest dps?

It also solo clears barracks which is really hard

Hi! I’d like to know if anyone knows why the Atlan Factory level was cut. I’m talking about the scene where the Pulverizer is shown and used in the first trailer and in the Dev Direct.

# honest vortex He didn't get past the Cosmic Realm? I thought he beat it

He did. But in the chat with mayo he said he stopped playing half way through and went back to 2016 and said he preferred that. Then he want back to finish Dark Ages.

And I think his frustration of not finding the fun zone was contrasted with the fun of the glory kills. And he got really caught up in that. Because glory kills are just so much fun.

Doom made them right, but the idea itself isn't good always

They get stale pretty fast and I only use them when I truly need the health, otherwise I'm killing normally

The chainsaw gets really fucking boring , but It also forces your to properly manage resources

Yep. It's pretty much the same as it was with 2016 although I honestly prefer it in 2016 as you didn't rely on it as much (Not to mention you actually had to manage fuel)

The worst part of doom tda is the slowdown on every single parry and melee

The slowmo shouldn't have been this intrusive. I think only slowing down on extremely heavy hits would be good, but getting a slowdown on every single parriable attack, even for a fucking imp is so fucking annoying

I lost count how many times the slowmo got me killed or screwed my momentum and caused me to take heavy damage because not only the slowmo breaks the momentum, you can't do much during it

I would have less beef with the slowmo if I could do more during it

but its just a vfx that does nothing but bother the eyes and break the pacing

honest vortex
#

I actually really like Dark Ages glory kills, they're very very crunchy and brutal with nice gore like 2016.

The Demonic Essence encounter executions are really cool.

I think Dark Ages has MUCH crunchier and more satisfying glory kills than Eternal's plastic weak thin ones.

But they're waaaay less varied

TDA has the best sound design out of the entire franchise.

Guns have never sounded better

honest vortex

Doom 64 definitely has the best out of the classic era

That game is immensely satisfying

I did one on the Arachnotron and I remember it being really sweet

I have found myself using the glory kills in DTDA.

I love them soooo much more now they don't get "in the way". I lucked out for this game because their design decisions coincidentally targeted everything I disliked about GK.

They don't stop anything around you but also gives you Invincibility frames, so it's really good to reposition when you are on critical health

#

But they aren't always good

honest vortex
#

I like how in 2016 glory kills were very risky, you could get trapped and killed right after a glory kill.

In Eternal, you could spam glory kills and be safe

Also 2016 glory kills gave waaaaaay less health, which already makes it less spammable lol

Very interesting take… This game felt the most inspired out of the trilogy to me.

honest vortex

#

There’s a lot more thought put into the combat system than the previous 2 games. Eternal’s “fun zone” was partly innovated by the players, to be fair here.

honest vortex
#

I wouldn't say Eternal's soulless, but there is something missing.

Can't put it to words

#

Does anyone think this game was birthed because of Evil Dead 3

delicate grotto

#

That’s true. I agree

honest vortex
#

I think it's due to COVID making things weird

dawn vault
#

Most of modern Dooms story feels like it was only made because a bunch of people collectively decided "this would sound cool and go hard" instead of actual wanting to write real lore and I mean that as a compliment. I love the recent trilogy for that. Like yes of course the slayer hung out with medieval knights to fight angels

delicate grotto
#

100% lol

#

Although with what’s been set up, the lore is starting to (attempt to) flesh itself out more. Which I appreciate.

#

I’m hoping Doom continues to be supported by Microsoft so id can continue to tell their stories with this goated franchise. I’d love more games revolving around the Slayer Testaments. TDA was a blast. Hoping it gets some more content updates soon though.

delicate grotto
#

That being said, there’s only so far you can go with Doom’s combat until it starts to drift from being DOOM altogether.

I’d love to see a modern Quake game one day.

honest vortex
#

It's funny I like Dark Ages way more than any Quake game, and even if I concur that their next game should be Quake.

north spire
#

I love the modern Doom trilogy, but I'd also love for that same level of quality to be applied to a modern Quake or Wolfenstei-Youngblood :(

honest vortex
#

Also Hugo Martin would make a kickass Quake game.

I guarantee it

north spire
#

I think it would be cool if a new Quake game played just like the older Quake games where you can B hop and Rocket Jump

#

also a proper deathmatch mode would be nice to see since Quake's deathmatch is very well regarded

frail bloom
honest vortex
frail bloom
honest vortex
#

Tbh Dark Ages level design, structure, and aesthetics/tone is a lot closer to Quake, which is also closer to Classic DOOM.

frail bloom
#

Gameplay should be wildly different in each ID game to make it interesting

honest vortex
frail bloom
honest vortex
frail bloom
#

Eternal takes a lot from quake in gameplay, and tda from classic doom

#

But how is quake by itself supposed to stand on its own?

#

Rocket jumping?????

#

Is that it??

honest vortex
#

Do you just want them to just keep making Doom and that's it?

frail bloom
#

Kinda, it makes them the most money, and allows them to make more games. Eternal takes a lot of gameplay from quake, it just seems impossible. Unless they can prove that they can differentiate the gameplay enough, I just don't know

#

Plus, Hugo wants to make more doom games, so that is a subtle implication

honest vortex
#

I mean I guess if you combine TDA's tone, aesthetics, level design, exploration, puzzles, and structure with Eternal's combat arenas and bunny hopping

You basically get Quake I guess.

frail bloom
#

That would also not be intuitive and new at all

#

An eternal junkie could murder it

honest vortex
#

But anyway Quake has very different types of enemies from DOOM.

Even the modern DOOM trilogy's enemies have been quite similar to each other functionally.

Quake has much more trollsy and spongey enemies but much lower in numbers.

frail bloom
#

It needs more than that

honest vortex
frail bloom
#

All the modern doom games are VASTLY different from one another, but what would quake have? In terms of gameplay, it would be eternal 2

#

That's not intuitive

honest vortex
frail bloom
#

Still too vague

#

I would love a quake game but ID needs to make money

honest vortex
#

I'm sure iD Software could figure something out

They're iD after all.

Also Hugo is a wild man.

hard thistle
#

Does anyone have the eyes pupil glitch where the characters eye just go white completely?

frail bloom
honest vortex
#

I'm sure Quake would allow them to go to full on Eldritch horror Gothic focused stuff.

But then again Dark Ages might be the beginning of DOOM just incorporating heavy lovecraftian Eldritch horror stuff all the time now

#

There's a LOT you can do with that stuff, so DOOM might continue to capitalize

frail bloom
#

I am not talking abt aesthetic, I am talking pure gameplay, ID is known for inventive gameplay

#

That is different and new from past titles

#

Enough to stand on it's own

honest vortex
#

Well I meant the super abstract levels and puzzles too

frail bloom
#

Right, how would that intergrate and differentiate the game in a presumably 20 level campaign without feeing like eternal but with new stuff

#

See what I mean

#

It needs more time in the oven

#

Like A lOT more time

north spire
#

i like the fact that the dark ages does something different! Even if parts of it arent as well refined as others, its nice to have something more than just Eternal again even though that game is awesome

frail bloom
#

Ye but how would quake be different from eternal

#

That is like, impossible

#

You can't go faster, or can you?

#

But faster in what way?

#

Would it be different enough?

north spire
frail bloom
#

So the next ID game, would be a quake game, that plays like Dusk

#

Bro

north spire
#

or classic quake idk

frail bloom
#

But that's ETERNAL

#

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE

north spire
#

it still focusses on movement, but in a different way

frail bloom
#

How would it be an evolution of quake already

#

Instead of being quake with a new coat of paint

#

It needs to evolve

#

How would the combat use rocket jumping

#

That like, a jumpad can't do, they don't hurt me either

#

I'm open to a new quake game but it's not as recognizable as doom either

#

Would it also use raytracing?

#

So many questions

brave leaf

OK so TDA has a decently long campaign actually

Can't imagine going through all of it without dying

Is anyone else experiencing an issue where you'll parry an attack, it'll be deflected and affect the enemy, but you'll still take full damage from the attack? This happens at least 5% of the time I parry an attack and it's really frustrating

#

I saw some people a while back speculating that it had to do with game logic breaking at increased game speed but im on normal game speed, just lower parry window

#

and it's happened to me on regular parry window as well

# mental grotto Is anyone else experiencing an issue where you'll parry an attack, it'll be defl...

It's happening to me at an annoyingly frequent rate. It also occurs at normal speed. And I think it increases damage taken as well.

Now to be fair during this time I had cranked up damage received to 500% but even at 500% hell knights usually take 3 hits to kill me from full armor & health. Did a parry, got a falter and everything. And my armor and health went from full to 5 health points (the one shot cap).

It's also weird parrying a stone imp's charge and watching stones go flying while also seeing the stone imp still in front of you.

#

50%. I was testing weapon combos in a 500/50 settings.

mental grotto

Either way it’s insanely frustrating

delicate grotto
#

Kind crazy you get punished for having perfect timing lol
Hopefully it’ll be patched. Seems like an easy enough fix.

mental grotto
#

I’m honestly shocked it hasn’t been patched along with a lot of the jank of this game. It’s a damn shame really

gaunt gull
#

On a side topic. Imps are ironically the hardest enemies in the game. Normal imps throw energy that stop your attack. Stone imps will stop your shield toss. And invisible imps spam energy nets. Assaulting an imp horde feels like assaulting a castle. A castle whose walls are made of energy nets.

delicate grotto
#

Yeah the energy projectiles are annoying. Hate how your shield bounces off of them. When there’s a horde, it blocks your shield constantly. Feels so good to finally shield bash into a horde of them.

Chainshot for quick armor break.

Falters whenever an armor piece breaks. You can try and get in a melee hit if you’re quick enough, though not recommended on higher speed settings.

Hard falters if you get 3 consecutive parries on its attacks, or if you break all armor pieces quick enough.

Follow up with a melee combo while it’s hard faltered.

You can seriously kill them with three Chainshot parries, a shield toss and a melee combo.

I barely use the rocket launcher, mainly cause I play alot of un and it's risky with the splash damage

i think they lied to him about his 2016 suit.

we dont know how long he was asleep before 2016. maybe he was sleepy the whole game

Are the Pulverizor and Cycler mastery challenges bugged? They both seem very inconsistent when trying to rack up the bonus damage counts

#

You know what I love about the Kreed Maykr boss fight?

#

The fact that it doesn’t tell you to use the plasma rifles against the energy shield and you have to figure it out yourself

That’s much more organic than how it’s explained in the doom hunter boss

I did not know that, dang

Doom Eternal moment of showing you the weakspot before each encounter

i'm hyped to continue tda though

graceful lion
#

the slayer's testaments saying that he gets stronger with every enemy he kills is not to be taken literally, and is to justify the slayer healing from killing demons

glass flame
#

I have to replay the entire game because it deleted all my progress when i un-installed it

#

Which means all my achievements

#

My UN skins

#

Everything

graceful lion
#

because the praetor suit he wears can absorb argent energy and turn it into healing, extra hp, more ammo, or more armor

#

depending on the power surge of the argent energy, if its a weak one, i.e from killing a demon, it just becomes healing

#

when its incredibly powerful, like the argent orbs, it then lets him upgrade either his hp, ammo, or armor respectively

#

but if he were to actually literally get stronger with every kill, it wouldve been actually shown or referenced more than just two random codexes the game has

#

and also, he can still bleed from demons, even in doom 2016, because elena richardson's logs in doom eternal say that there have been blood samples (just found randomly or all over the place, not from one specific spot) from doomguy during the mars attacks

#

and no, he cannot be hurt in the coffin, iirc he had an argent shield and was basically invulnerable in it as long as the coffin was closed

graceful lion
#

cool, so anyways, doom 2016 guy would be faster and more experienced than doom tda guy, he can also move around more as D2016 has more verticality

graceful lion
#

his armor is also likely better as i said before, it can just extract argent energy, which is basically doom's miracle matter, heals the sick, keeps the healthy longliving, and stops species (maykrs) from having horrific transformations happen to them

mint bridge
#

Doom 2016 doom guy is stronger than tda since he is much more angrier in 2016 i rest my case

graceful lion
#

not saying its entirely one sided, but it would be pretty one sided

graceful lion
#

2016 guy would be able to use his rage much more effectively, as we can see with glory kills and all

Hey Guys, is anyone running Doom Dark ages on 6GB RTX GPU ? I have feedback to give on this, and Nvidia has addressed the issue in their latest patch. Where can I talk about this topic and provide feedback? i am surpirsed cause no one has addressed the issue yet

paper wind
#

I am not sure if they fixed it on your gpu, what i can confirm is that RTGI works natively on 6GB cards now . People were spoofing the game so they render the dark areas within the game but that lead to huge performance loss

paper wind
#

I am using RTX 3060 GB and now thanks to Nividia patch, the dark areas in the game are no more. but no one has addressed this

i was getting 90+ fps before the patch, and seemingly after it aswell

It worked like a charm for me and now the game not only runs well on decent settings but fully works with Rtx for me

paper wind

No the issue wasn't about FPS y

graceful lion
#

oh right dark areas not loading

silver bobcat
#

Here's the guide, it should fix your issues

paper wind
#

you see at launch when I bought the game on xbox applicaton, the game was running fine but then i noticed I can't see a thing in certain areas of the game. I thought this was my brightness settings, but it looked to be more than that.. cz the dark areas weren't even rendering.

paper wind
#

I want to address feedback and make everyone know about this

#

cz a lot of people were having trouble with it.

graceful lion
#

ohh i see

paper wind
#

also I want to criticize Bethesda for their poor handling of the situation

#

as it was Nvidia who fixed the issue for us

graceful lion
#

well, bethesda aernt the developers

#

but if nvidia was the one who fixed the issue, they likely knew it better than everyone else

#

though id software have made the game run amazingly well, even on less than recommended hardware

paper wind
#

regardless they're the publishers and they make the decisions

graceful lion
#

fair enough

#

glad the issue was fixed, that means more people to enjoy peak 🔥

paper wind
#

"though id software have made the game run amazingly well, even on less than recommended hardware" yes but not if you're playing with a device like mine. People were using spoofing MODS to force Ray tracing on the game so they can play it without having dark areas

the lead engine developer said it wouldve taken multiple years more if light baking was added, becuase baking lights isnt a one and done, it takes time to bake the lights, and to make them both look good and perform well

#

hell, if anything it might have performed the same or worse than rt

#

its about time a technology first demonstrated in 1968 made its way into games

paper wind
#

I mean you could have told us ! they know about this issue. many people have talked about this here : https://steamcommunity.com/app/3017860/discussions/0/560246171171319914/

Hi! As you may know, the developers of DOOM: The Dark Ages have said the game requires 8GB of dedicated VRAM to run properly. But if you have a 6GB RTX GPU, don’t worry—you can still play the game just fine. However, there’s a catch: RTGI (Ray-Traced Global Illumination) might be disabled due to the lower VRAM. This can make the game look ...

graceful lion

game ran the same for me after the update

merry sapphire

them using raytracing literally let them make the game run better and look better at the same time lol

paper wind
#

how is it logical that my game now runs at 60fps with high settings after the nvidia patch without dark areas issue, but now Bethesda claims my pc to be under the minimum requirements. and btw my pc was made in 2021 , its 4 years old.

#

if its an easy fix then why didnt you find one already?, or are you just saying its easy while knowing nothing about how lighting stuff works

paper wind
graceful lion
#

the game already only renders certain sectors of the game, and with raytracing, that makes an incredibly fast load time for the levels, and even better performance, which is hwy alot of areas are sort of blocked off or in high areas you cannot see well

I think Id software or Bethesda have showed us that they don't care about players with mid-tier laptops

they have a history of ignoring performance issues

please if anyone has this issue like me with RTX 6GB VRAM and using Opticaler to render the dark areas in the game. tell them Nvidia has fixed the issue. i wanted to make a post on this group but clearly this has been taken into a banter context or someway to make fun of me which is immature. I get your disagreement

graceful lion
merry sapphire
#

@paper wind my point exactly 👆

paper wind
#

The disagree with the minimum requirements since the games runs well on my laptop, which i am grateful for. They could have simply patched the dark areas in the game using something other than RT. BUt let's say they can't do it, i udnerstand that. But at least address the nvidia patch that solved the issue

merry sapphire

#

You have to sign up for Bethesda emails

neon gust
#

I can't tell if it's supposed to be missing

paper wind
#

My point : at least tell the player based that we acknowledge the issue on social media, and could have found a workaround, if its not possible for Idsoftware to fix the issue without making a fallback solution without Raytracing. then at least announce that Nvidia have worked on the issue, tell the player base that this issue can't be fixed. I don't understand how they can call my PC specs below requirements when my laptop runs the game at 60-45 fps . that's my point. I see why u disagree but that's my view on it.

your point : they can't remove Raytracing as it makes the game better and its your fault that you dared bought the game on a laptop below the requirements. okay

So the devs’ hard requirement of 8GB was either overly conservative or based on optimization issues they didn’t address.
let's agree to disagree then thanks
