[bronze abyss]

im going to do something to you

[astral peak]

Any PC users experience IdTechLauncher.exe crashes when exiting the game to windows? I only see this as events in event viewer under applications. Not getting any perf issues in game

[gaunt plank]

Anyone here having issues with character models not showing their irises? Cause that's me.

[open monolith]

if it doesn't work there then it's a compatibility issue

[lyric bane]

Brother, I have the same problem with the same GPU. Tried everything, no result. Do you have any updates?

[brave sundial]

yea it seems to be pretty common, there's a couple other examples here of people experiencing similar things

seems like it's usually associated with really shadowy areas and a few broken textures

I'm getting it myself

fingers crossed we get a patch tomorrow

[gaunt plank]

I knew I wasn't the only one. Hopefully they will patch it out sometime soon. I think it should be a simple fix.

[brave sundial]

Yea, if nothing else there should be some more info coming out about it tomorrow so maybe someone's worked out a fix by then

[clear hawk]

and here i thought it had something to do with the game's name being doom the dark ages which plunge the entire game world into darkness

[gaunt plank]

Oh so that's why the game is dark as hell. I'm having that issue too.

[regal ledge]

still no fix for game pass pc with the game being invisible?

[gaunt plank]

For PC game pass I wouldn't know I'm using the Steam version.

[rain pier]

What aspect ratio should i use for a 3340x1440 monitor on doom the dark ages ?

[ancient current]

The funny thing is that you could do it in Indy and it would have the exact same result

The game is much darker, but in Indy's case most of the areas are still pretty visible

In doom the moment you take out the RTGI you can barely see anything in any dimly lit area

[lilac badger]

I have rog laptop amd ryzen 7 6800hs 16g ram Nvidia rtx 3050 my vram is max out to 5465 all i have is 3409 everything is on low settings I'm only get 10 fps wtf vram use at 4479.79mb

I try fsr still same

[viscid star]

game not launching, can only hear sound

[candid cape]

Hey, could someone help me out? I have no idea how to identify if my pc is strong enough for TDA(at least for minimum settings idc I just want to play)

[true dawn]

you have much less than the minimum requirements for the game

might still run though? give it a try, but expect graphical issues and crashing

[gaunt plank]

Is there any way to enable the RGTI? Or do we have to wait for a patch?

[candid cape]

Ok so what I have is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @3.40GHz 3.40 GHz processor, 16gb of ram and it's a 64 operating system. Is it even worth trying?

Eternal/doom 2016 are running with no issues, so I'm not exactly sure

[gaunt plank]

What's your GPU?

[candid cape]

Nvidia GeForse GTX 1060 3Gb

[gaunt plank]

Short story is your GPU can't handle an advanced graphical game like Doom The Dark Ages. Long story is this game requires mandatory Ray Tracing at all times, which is something older GPUs like yours can't handle. At minimum, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 could do the trick with at least 8GB of VRAM. I recommend newer GPUs though.

[candid cape]

Eughhhhh damn(

Thanks

[gaunt plank]

No problem, and sorry to give you the badnews. I have a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 and CPU of Intel Core i7 and sometimes I have problems with this game.

[vocal stratus]

anyone know how to play at more then 60fps on pc for dark ages , for some reason my game is hard locked to 60 even when i dont have vsync enabled. got a 9800x3d, 64gb ram and 3070ti 8gb gpu and playing at 1440p

[regal ledge]

c'mon bethesda give us a fix update for invisible game already

[hard kiln]

i have the same issue

[ancient current]

IIRC there is some way to enable/disable it via optiscaler

[flat coral]

when i want to download doom (the dark ages) on the xbox app, once its on 100% it just tells me error and the download bar goes from green to yellow. i tried to uninstall it and install it again and that seemed to work but then i had to download an update which was 800mb, same problem, when it gets to 100% it tells me error so i thought "ok i just need to uninstall the update and install it again, shouldnt take too long since its only 800mb." so i do that but the problem is when i uninstalled the update it didnt give me the option to install it again and it showed that i can just play the game. i open the game and it says that some files are missing or corrupted and it says to "verify and repair" my files, i do that and its verifying and stuff but when it got to 100% it showed the error sign again with the yellow bar. what do i do????

[echo citrus]

I let Windows update my Dell firmware... What a terrible mistake

[torn elm]

It might be RTSS forcing 60 fps

[gray gazelle]

Geforce 5080 graphics with Samsung G93SD DQHD montior... for some reason i dont see ray tracing and colours seems off or my brains off

anyone else ntoice anything different?

FPS ok spot on, but graphics erm like as tep back in time

[torn elm]

What graphics settings are you on?

[gray gazelle]

ultra max

erm maybe got few settigns on, looks cloudy I turned blur off. sorry im overly used to games like CyberarkPunk now****

[vocal stratus]

anyway to turn it off

or maybe just my gpu only allowing 60fps due to how demanding it is

[hard kiln]

nothing to do for the invisible game issue using xbox app for now ?

[gray gazelle]

na the fire and the relections of ray tracing that turn really old games into acutally playable remakes, seems to be off for this game ies just the other good graphics not ray tracing

[gray gazelle]

ray tracing has a more realistic brain response, teh rest is a blurred 2d or 3d representaiton

if you wan nestagla going back to doom 2 days on old pc or mega, with EUGH and blue vials and the sound of "dedum" as you collect them.. grate... bute new one game has all the effects of 2025 but lost sound and realistic elements

harder to trick 2025 brains

well unless you dont know of the evolution so erm hgih %

[elder flame]

What the hell are you even talking about?

[gray gazelle]

this game has lost its edge in graphics and in sounds as of 2025 so far

it should not have been launched in this state, it looks obvious to those who can normally see it

a bassful sound or pitch and contracting lighting element make the picture, not muted bluredness with high FPS and rock music

[elder flame]

Contracting lighting?

Do you mean contrast?

[gray gazelle]

ray tracing, light that is more contracting than at the 2d level - its at the n level

might only be 3d in essence in games now but added the layer thats noticalbe by most

blure 2,3,4,5 or more colours next eachother ... great.. but erm thats not what we normally see

lets ply a game with 256 bit and colours might not blur ... yayy

if that was your subconious understanding

[elder flame]

My 'subconious' is having a stroke trying to make sense of what your spilling.

[gray gazelle]

that this graphics engine alreayd feels like a flop. Its not something I will play willingly knowly what is out there

[elder flame]

And why Is that?

[gray gazelle]

to keep it simple, and basic, from what I can see from a 5 minute impression of a 2025 AAA game title

[elder flame]

That wasn't an answer.

[gray gazelle]

Its more of an answer from a competitve audience :\

[elder flame]

Are you dissatisfied with the ray tracing implementation?

[gray gazelle]

From my 5 minutes im already worried low end spec users versus high end is too extreme to cope

high even will flop

you forgot to include bells n whistles for those who have a larger voice and sell future hardware

and thus future innovation

mayber 10 minutes into the game it'll feel better

[hard kiln]

solution for those who have invisible game :

open the powershell / CMD

Type:

cd "C:\XboxGames\DOOM- The Dark Ages\Content"

and then launch the game with this line :
.\DOOMTheDarkAges.exe +r_fullscreen 0

it worked for me
dont forget to go on settings after you launch the game and put your game in borderless instead of fullscreen

[sly marten]

I'm trying to run the game with a 6750xt and a Ryzen 5 3600x. The GPU should be good enough but even with higher graphical settings there are a lot of jagged edges, blurry visuals, and pixelation of smoke and fire. I'm wondering if its my CPU holding back the performance or bottlenecking at this point since it is under minimum. I played with task manager running on the side and showed the GPU was holding in the 90% usage while the CPU ranged from 60-90% usage.

[torn elm]

The Ray tracing and the game have looked flawless to me. And btw, it’s more Ray tracing than doom eternal becuase doom eternal only had reflections. There’s been no bugs for me so far. But trust me, there IS Ray tracing

[finite pine]

Is there a way to revert the settings to default outside the game? Since I enabled FSR and its Frame Generation the game freezes up as soon as the intros run through

[torn elm]

Just change it in amd Adrenaline

[elder flame]

Has anyone else tried the game on a 6gb vram card? I'm using a 3050 and im 7 levels in, games running shockingly well so far.

[thin token]

If anyone runs into the steam deck issue with Bug Splat immediately on launch, changing the steam deck updating mode to Preview will fix it.

[grizzled cedar]

Please someone help why isn't dark ages working

Nvm it fucking works

[livid viper]

I am trying to use the Nvidia app to optimize graphics setting, but there is no button and no slider when I bring up graphics

[queen notch]

Hello everyone I have a problem on the second chapter.The mission is to saw 5 enemies with a saw , I saw and nothing happens

[lucid pecan]

Anyone else getting white flickering glitches in certain areas? Looks a little like texture popping. Core I7-13620H, 64Gb RAM, RTX 4050 6Gb VRAM

[burnt timber]

me every time. using a dualsense wired I have to load into the game or disable-enable controller from the options menu before it works.

[elder flame]

Happens to me more with present from compute enabled. There's a mod for Indiana Jones that fixes the ray tracing issues on 6gb cards, works with dark ages as well.

[hidden elk]

i typically rely on the nvidia "optimized" settings for my games but it looks like that's not an available option for doom dark ages. has it just not been released by nvidia yet or am i missing something? i'm questioning it because doom dark ages shows up twice in the game list, and there's not many settings the nvidia app is detecting

[haughty owl]

Anyone else having a weird freeze where every time they enter a cutscene the game just seizes up?

[gaunt plank]

I found a Steam post that gives you an optiscaler file https://steamcommunity.com/app/3017860/discussions/0/560246171171319914/

I turns out I don't have enough VRAM on my 6GB RTX 3060 laptop, this fixes the issue.

I installed it and what do you know? I can see dark areas and everyone's eyes.

[candid cape]

is doom the dark ages currently working on linux? / is it going to at some point?

[ancient current]

this is false advertising it should be Doom and the dimly lit ages now /s

the non existent texture streaming in idtech7 to this is a complete 180 though

once RTGI is forced on it's completely flawless without any compromises on 6GB gpus at least at 1080p which is a rarity these days

[ancient current]

It should on both Nvidia (proprietary driver), and AMD (RADV)

on Intel YMMV since ANV can be a bit weird

Nvidia performance should be +- a few percent of windows since the driver is functionally identical in most aspects

[candid cape]

ive (regretfully) got nvidia but cool, glad it works both ways

[ancient current]

also no nvidia vkd3d overhead to worry about since that isn't needed

obviously the gpu requirements are the same as windows you still need hw RT

and 8GB or more of vram (6GB works with the optiscaler fix)

[lucid pecan]

Thanks for the post. Tried this fix, and it hasn't made any difference. Might need to wait for Bethesda to patch the game. Or it might not ever run well on my laptop.

[hasty wadi]

I sure hope they add the film grain option in a future patch. I'd really like to disable it on the PS5 version. I would think it was not excluded from the console version intentionally.

[tawdry pasture]

How do I log out of a Bethesda account on PlayStation on Doom the Dark Ages?

[fleet berry]

its my only problem with the game other than that i just finished my casual playthrough now imma go back for all the collectibles and then do a ultra nightmare run

[kindred swallow]

did you get this figured out? i am having the same issue on my computer

[fleet berry]

is account linking screwed for anyone else

[candid cape]

does it not work with nvidia-open-dkms

nvm 💀 I just opened it a second time and it worked

[ancient current]

I mean proprietary as in the userland driver

the nvidia gsp driver is fine and is the default regardless for every nvidia gpu that can even launch the game to begin with

[half sedge]

Does anyone know how to get past the start screen? Game just doesn't register my A button

[hazy zenith]

yea i believe doom has path tracing

see the shadows of a corpse?

thats path tracing i think

[dreamy wraith]

runs great on switch

[hazy zenith]

thats cool

[dreamy wraith]

tyty

gotta hand it to steam input tho

i didn't even have to bind controls

[acoustic bloom]

Is amaizing with my Rtx 4050 6Vram (with DLSS ON)

[hazy zenith]

TAA vs DLSS

pretty good without frame gen

[acoustic bloom]

with TAA i got 80 Fps, but look little better...

But with DLSS i can hit 120 Fps

[hazy zenith]

looking for a 5090 is like digging for gold

[hazy zenith]

why i got more fps with TAA?

like 40fps more

[acoustic bloom]

IDK, i take a picture

[hazy zenith]

dlss uses more gpu resource

dlss look way better tho

@acoustic bloomr u using frame gen?

[acoustic bloom]

With TAA

[acoustic bloom]

Yes i think, hold me a second

Yes, x2

Ok, I deactivated it... and I still have more than 90

[hazy zenith]

im not

[acoustic bloom]

Ooooh ok

what is your GPU?

[hazy zenith]

this is my rig

[acoustic bloom]

Nice Rog dude... i have this:

[hazy zenith]

nice

[acoustic bloom]

Brutal that Ryzen 7, amaizing

[hazy zenith]

yea

cyas later

[acoustic bloom]

[hasty knoll]

audio only on gamespass?

anyone know how to fix this

[haughty owl]

I seem to have fixed it by turning of Present from Compute

I am very happi

[bitter rose]

what mod is this?

[haughty owl]

Crashed 30 minutes later

[muted robin]

how do i fix this, ive updated to the correct nvidia driver and everything

[bitter rose]

nvm i found it

[formal scroll]

someone discovered how to fix the Berserker Trophy Bug?

[hasty sierra]

People have found success actually downgrading the drivers. Also, double check your GPU actually meets requirements.

[trim igloo]

4080 with a Ryzen 9 7900X - game is freezing every 10 minutes, I have to close it through task manager. On latest drivers please someone lmk a fix

[tawdry shard]

my friend's game looks blurry and grainy

he turned off motion blur and turned up sharpening but it still isn't great apparently

like low poly kind of he says

[haughty owl]

Crashes much less frequently tho

[wicked grove]

@hasty sierra Running a Titan X Pascal with the same thing this card supports RT

[muted robin]

I tried this and it didn’t work 🥀

[little cloak]

Hey legion go guys!!! I've figured out how to get the game to work!!!!

[muted robin]

What do you do

[little cloak]

@muted robin side load the new asus drivers for the rog ally onto the legion Go the hardware is exactly the same. Fsr works perfectly and no crashing.

[wicked grove]

lol i'll just submit a billion bugsplat reports

[muted robin]

Okay, I’ll give it a try

[little cloak]

Let me know. I'm playing it right now

@muted robin also remember to hit extract and not install when opening the driver

[muted robin]

Got it

[little cloak]

Sick!!! Let's goooo!!!

[austere narwhal]

why does this happen whenever i try to load up 2016?

it worked fine last night

[haughty owl]

Have you tried turning off Present from Compute?

Worked for me and I have a 4060 8GB and R5 5600X

[daring otter]

Yes it does. Just finished first chapter. No issues whatsoever.

[austere narwhal]

mind if i ask which distro? i'm planning to switch to linux and i've been looking at mint

[daring otter]

Arch

[steep tangle]

Bro, thanks for sharing this. I tried it and im finally able to play just fine, it really fixed the issue about the washed out shadows

[sudden sun]

alright, so probably not a surprise but I'm not able to run Doom the dark ages for some reason. it launches only with sound and no game display. I tried the Help on the site but didnt work. I tried disconecting all my monitors but one and reboot, didnt work. Any ideas?

[muted robin]

i get a bug splash anytime i try to run it

Worst optimized game ever dude

[agile minnow]

Can I just not run this game? I have a 2070 Max q and updated my drivers too

[muted robin]

I’m gonna be honest it’s probably a Bethesda thing, the game came out not even a day ago so I’d give it a wait

[slow portal]

Hey guys. Unable to turn on DLSS frame generation. Wondering if anyone had any ideas / best place to post.

[stiff glade]

What GPU do you have? Dlss frame gen is only available for 40 series and up iirc

[slow portal]

thankyou. I have a 3070 so this answers my question. Much appreciated

[stiff glade]

Yeah, sucks man 😦
Wonder what John Carmack thinks of forced RT

[sinful gale]

Why does my doom the dark ages keep freezing in the middle of the game

4090 btw

Is it the game?

[stiff glade]

I've read that this game has fsr3.1, so you should technically be able to use dlss with amd's frame gen if you need it; just have to sit tight for now I guess

[tired veldt]

hi ive been trying to trouble shoot this problem for the past 3 hours when i open the game i can hear the sound but it will open in the background and ive tried all the fixes on the doom website but nothing works it opened for me the first time and all i changed was from windowed mode to full screen and it pooped out after that if anyone can help me i would really appriceiate it

can anyone help me

[sinful gale]

Then i just have to restart my entire game

[stiff glade]

Try turning off "present from compute" or something along those lines in settings, I remember doom eternal had something similar back in the day

Don't know if that'll help but worth a shot

[sinful gale]

Ok ill try

Im just reinstalling cus of this poorly optimized game

[true dawn]

Its not poorly optimized. blame nvidias terrible drivers

[stiff glade]

If that doesn't work try lowering texture pool size a bit, but you have a 4090 should be fine idk how much that'll help. Hey fuck it with this mess you never know try it out regardless

[true dawn]

i have absolutely 0 freezing/stutters.

[sinful gale]

Crazy shi legit been happening to me since day 1

[true dawn]

Well, youd think that it being an nvidia sponsored game would mean they actually make half decent drivers, but apperently not

[sinful gale]

Whats your gpu?

[true dawn]

7900 xtx

if you dont know amd thats basically a little bit weaker than a 4090

[sinful gale]

Ngl the new update for the nvidia drivers suck😭✌️

[true dawn]

brother they all suck lol. idk what theyre doing

[sinful gale]

Its more of a downgrade rather a upgrade

[true dawn]

Use FSR framegen instead

[tidal goblet]

Had 1 crash throughout my Nightmare run, what a game

Had to up that DLSS sharpness to like 70%, way too soft at the default value

[true dawn]

anyone know of a way to disable variable rate shading? i think its causing some weird grainyness for me

[burnt timber]

You can do it through a console command I think

The digitalfoundry pc video showed it

[arctic palm]

where and how do i use it

[pure rampart]

since when did AMD GPUs start supporting raytracing?

[true dawn]

6000 series. so 2020

you didnt think it was strange that ps5 has raytracing with amd gpu lol?

[pure rampart]

I didn't even know ps5 uses AMD chips or that AMD manufactures for consoles

[stiff glade]

Fun fact: initially MSFT and AMD were working on DirectX RayTracing (DXR) leaving Nvidia out of picture, Nvidia had no other choice but to build their own version and release it with better marketing - so they heavily branded it in a way RTX is Ray Tracing

And their marketing clearly worked since you asked this question

Don't blame ya, these corpos are blood thirsty

To a certain extent RT is possible on all architectures, there's some snapdragon SoC that boasts Ray Tracing 😭

A marketing gimmick with diminishing returns if you ask me, only purpose it serves is not having to bake in manually; and making it forced is stoopid.

[muted robin]

What if I go into ini files and turn off ray tracing

[manic summit]

welp, my RTX 2050 ass cannot play this game T-T 30 fps max on all low settings, yet I go to eternal to 170-210...

[elder flame]

http://steamcommunity.com/app/2677660/discussions/0/537714229566804947/?ctp=16

[torn elm]

Did you have DLSS enabled? Actually why am I asking that, try the VRAM fix for the game:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/3017860/discussions/0/560246171171319914/

[torn elm]

RT cores are better in general tho. They have fixed function units (BVH and Triangle intersection), they have their own separate micro pipeline that lets every RT core run concurrently with the CUDA cores shading. And just general recursion handling.

You can say it’s not worth the tradeoff but honestly baked lighting looks really ass now with modern implementation of RT. Tho I did hear something about it being necessary for hitbox detection aswell

[manic summit]

thank you

[torn elm]

All good

[wary adder]

Fuck Raytracing in General tbh

[muted robin]

https://tenor.com/view/box-of-true-box-of-bees-dogman-dogman-movie-bees-gif-5723728231728491119

[torn elm]

Yeah fuck ray tracing, I prefer my games looking like shit

[fresh sleet]

Does anyone have a solution for the game freezing when I'm streaming? I've tried other streaming software, but the same thing happens with all of them.

[torn elm]

How much of your vram is being used?

[fresh sleet]

Standard 6-7 GB. I set it to maximum and it uses 8-9 GB.

[torn elm]

i assume you're on 1080p, which gpu are you using

[fresh sleet]

1440P. RTX 5070TI

[torn elm]

so you have a 16 gb card, okay, well its not uncommon for TDA to be buggy with streaming

[fresh sleet]

How do I stop the game from freezing while streaming?
Even limiting fps to 75 in windowed/fullscreen mode doesn't help.

[torn elm]

maybe try recording your whole window isntead of just the game

[fresh sleet]

I have that.
I meant that I tried the graphics settings on windowed/full screen/frameless.

[torn elm]

yeah it might just be an encoding bug, hmmmm, tho why did you limit your fps to 75

[fresh sleet]

Because I thought it would help.Bethesda's FAQ is a complete joke. Close OBS before launching the title and the crashes will stop.
I understand that I should start the game first and then OBS. But as soon as I stream, the game crashes 😒

[burnt timber]

remember when pc gamers were mad about consoles holding gaming back

[torn elm]

yeah just give it a bit, sorry that happened

[burnt timber]

now we're mad about games not running well on 8 year old gpus

[torn elm]

i remmeber when pc gamers actually liked pc games

[torn elm]

"ray tracing is shit, nvidia is shit, doom is shit, ID software is shit, i had 12 years to make money for a new system but it cant run as well on TDA as it did on Eternal. Why is everyone against me"

[fresh sleet]

But that's stupid if you want to stream and are really into the game 😂😂
I mean, I still have a Series X here. But on my PC, it looks better. And runs even smoother than on the Series X. 😆

[torn elm]

ofc, a pc always clears console

[wary adder]

did 2016 or Eternal look like shit?

They absolutely didn't. And they ran smooth as butter on every Calculator.

Raytracing has become nothing but an excuse for big publishers to both save time and money for not having to bother with making believable Illumination anymore as well as feeding the demand for stronger graphics cards

[torn elm]

yeah bro so shit

ive already debated a lot of people with the same points as you ive just kinda given up, aint my job to teach every single person that complains

[wary adder]

yeah you probably got your hours in from microsoft already

[torn elm]

im so sorry for having a gpu thats not over 6 years old

[wary adder]

[muted robin]

How do i stop the bugsplat

[wary adder]

you dont have to be, if the game runs fine with you, good for you

[torn elm]

runs amazingly

[wary adder]

but you might have noticed a little thing in society called, well, "living crisis."

so pardon me that i don't wanna upgrade every time Nvidia decides to hog a certain game franchise to boost their sales

[torn elm]

its been 6 years homeslice where have you been

[wary adder]

bro i have a 5800X and a 5700XT my setup ain't ancient

and Doom Eternal ran smoothly even on my old ass Vega

on 1440p

[torn elm]

the cpu is pretty modern but your gpu did come out 6 years ago....so

[wary adder]

and all those little phrases you're throwing around are making you look like a soulless techbro shill tbqf

the difference in graphical fidelity that we're seeing right now is absolutely not worth the money you're expecting consumers to sink into their rig, especially with the state of the economy right now

[torn elm]

phrases? whats that supposed to mean, also the amd vega series released in 2017...three years before the game came out, your current gpu is over double that gap...

[wary adder]

the game doesn't even look that much better than eternal

[muted robin]

No I’m not buying a new gpu after buying a 70 dollar game

[torn elm]

im not sure youve played the game but the difference is a LOT, and im an eternal glazer

[burnt timber]

gpu prices are obscene for sure. buy a console, they're pretty great this time around.

should have good deals on the used market

[torn elm]

pretty much, or a radeon 6600, i mean its only 200 bucks and can ray trace

[wary adder]

from what i've heard it might even look worse than eternal when you try and force raytracing ofc lmao

[torn elm]

well i thought so too, then i played the game, and honestly, in my opinion, it clears eternal on graphics

like its legit not even close

you can hate on the gameplay and whatnot, thats your personal preference, its a video game. who cares right? but to say the graphics arent much better...thats just untrue

[wary adder]

and know what? i dont care. specs are telling me that I need a 7800XT to even get near 60 frames at 1440p. I'd rather have the game look like fucking Ultrakill and give me consistent 144 frames on PC. It's a high octane shooter for crying out loud.

[errant cairn]

Has anyone with an AMD GPU found a fix for constant freezes? I'm getting somewhere between 0-2 freezes per chapter.

[wary adder]

if gameplay and framerate are an improvement to eternal then i'd probably even love the game if it looked like Doom 2016 again

[sinful kayak]

this achievement seems to be broken for me i guess i gotta re do the game then

[wary adder]

see? exactly my point. Fuck nvidia and fuck raytracing

[torn elm]

just so you know, you can get alot more than 60 fps on 1080p with low end hardware....just like you could on low end hardware when eternal came out....your comparing this to a 5 year old game

[torn elm]

micro stutters or just freezes

[burnt timber]

i'm on amd and no crashes after locking in a stable undervolt. this game loves a fat undervolt

[torn elm]

i saw this bug for other people too

[torn elm]

shhh dont tell her that, shes gonna get angry your game works

[wary adder]

eternal runs on 144 frames at 1440p with all settings on ultra nightmare lmao

Vulcan API baby

[torn elm]

on your gpu that came out the year before eternal released, tahts like you buying a 7800xt in 2024 and playing the game in 2025

[sinful kayak]

got a quick fix for it or is it just hard reset

[errant cairn]

Freeze with persistent audio as if nothing happened. The game needs to be force closed.

Other than this 1 issue, I have 0 issues with the game. It plays buttery smooth on max settings at 4k resolution. Over 120 FPS

[fresh kernel]

To be fair dark ages runs like a rusted wheel compared to eternal, I can run eternal max settings 144fps and dark ages looks like playdoh and runs at low 60fps

[wary adder]

my point exactly

[fresh kernel]

Ray tracing is the worst, lazy, garbage gimmick in gaming industry I cannot believe some games force you to use it

[wary adder]

Eternal would be my favourite game of all time if the whole mick gordon situation didn't sour the experience

[burnt timber]

ray tracing has been the desired end goal of real time rendering for 40 years. this is literal nonsense yap here.

[wary adder]

that dude who was responsible never got fired anyways so why should I forgive them?

[torn elm]

its being patched i heard

[sinful kayak]

almost like technology evolves

[fresh kernel]

I get that we are all hyped for the new game and super happy, but I hate this trend where people cant have any criticism of a game in its first launch month, like no game is perfect and dark ages is insanely flawed in terms of optimization

[ancient current]

Gamers got entitled during the 8th gen consoles since the target hardware was significantly weaker than usual

[sinful kayak]

ic ic thank you

[torn elm]

woah woah calm down, we dont say the "zero" word around it it hurts tda haters

[torn elm]

WHAT? NOOOO

[wary adder]

i don't dislike raytracing for looking fine, i dislike it for crippling FPS and making games hella unstable in its current state for the sake of looking fire in trailers

[torn elm]

minimum spec for eternal ran 60fps, minimum spec for tda runs 60 fps

[torn elm]

it looks fire even in game

[fresh kernel]

I literally had to learn how to de-encrypt gamepass games, create copies of the game and fool the xbox app into running the copy of the game to get a mod that fixes the broken ray tracing that caused the game to be too dark

[ancient current]

TDA's RTGI is fairly cheap

[wary adder]

"game looks dope, preorder it now for the privilege of being our unpaid beta testers"

[torn elm]

is your gpu under 8gb vram?

[burnt timber]

game is rock solid though?

[torn elm]

do you not remember how fucking broken eternal was on launch? nostalgia baiting

i pray to god if i dont upgrade my gpu till the next doom game im not gonna whine this much, toxic fan

[errant cairn]

No offense, but anyone who says the game runs like garbage has to have never played actually pooirly optimized games. While the game is dumb for forcing ray tracing, it's very well optimized all things considered. It's like 8gb vram for max settings.

Granted my system is 7900XTX and a i7-10700k, so my specs are quite high comparatively, I think it runs well even at 4k res.

[wary adder]

I had no problems at all i don't know what you're talking about

Eternal i actually preordered because i had TRUST in id software after doom 2016

[fresh kernel]

Yes, I know that causes the issue. Sad to see ray tracing ruin the game for so many people.

[wary adder]

and i was rewarded for it

[fresh kernel]

Forcing ray tracing in a game is like forcing every game to be VR, the tech isnt ready yet so it shouldnt be forced

[torn elm]

so your gonna play the game on an underspec card and complain it aint running well?

[torn elm]

its been flawless for a lot of people

[torn elm]

i and a lot of others pre ordered the game, and it ran more flawless than any other game, if you wnan play consumer bias we can, its a never ending argument

[fresh kernel]

The game doesnt look better than eternal visually, so yes

[burnt timber]

it does.

[fresh kernel]

TDA at medium settings looks worse than eternal at max

Yet it runs at 30% the frame rate

[fresh sleet]

I've opened a ticket now, I'm curious ^^

[wary adder]

Y E S because the economy is bleeding consumers who don't have rich parents dry bruh

[haughty owl]

I had this exact same issue and then I turned off Present from Compute and it stopped crashing nearly as frequently

[torn elm]

this here kids, is what you call bait

[wary adder]

and not every person is able to buy a new card at scalper prizes after another nvidia paper launch for the sake to not experience bugs on day 1 gamey lmao

[fresh kernel]

I think that you and I need to learn that when a game is new, you arent allowed to have any real valid criticism of that game. I have been around a lot of communities and its always like this. People who dont blindly love every single pixel of a game with major flaws is considered a "hater"

[wary adder]

yeah i'm 90% sure mecatisfat is a paid shill lmao

[fresh kernel]

There is no universe where TDA looks better on medium settings than what eternal looks like on max settings

[haughty owl]

TBEF I was running Eternal on an RX580 4GB back when it dropped and while I only played on Low I was still able to get at least 60 frames out of the game

The fact my 4060 is struggling on Low at a lower resolution than my monitor is kind of concerning

[torn elm]

i have a gpu newer than 6 years old
i have a working set of eyes
the game works flawlessly for me and others
TDA has more forgiving minimum requirements for the time than eternal did

[torn elm]

do you have DLSS enabled?

[wary adder]

and then theres the fact that the game prompty you into installing objectively bad drivers that make the game crash 10 times more often

[haughty owl]

Yes on Performance

[torn elm]

and how many fps are you getting?

[fresh kernel]

I just think its depressing to shut down factual statements like "forced ray tracing ruins the game for a lot of people who previously could run eternal at max settings" just because you are hyped for a new game..

Like I spent HOURS personally editing the files of TDA to fix their own game, and its kinda icky to see people downplay the issues to defend the game

[haughty owl]

mid-60's-high 50's

[torn elm]

so you either have a 3060 6gb, 3050 or a 4050

[errant cairn]

Already did that.

[wary adder]

its been on every major microsoft related release tbh. You don't wanna know the beef I had trying to get Forza Horizon 4 to just W O R K

[torn elm]

not that bad, try running framegen with a balanced preset

[burnt timber]

can you put in a word for me at id software for the paid shill job?

[torn elm]

i got you

[fresh kernel]

Is this true? Should I try installing older drivers just to see if it runs better?

[fresh kernel]

3060 6gb

[haughty owl]

Yeah no it's not bad at all I'm just saying that it is crappy that the game is taking anything lower than a 40 series card out back with the Super Shotgun in tow

[wary adder]

yeah apparently the recommended drivers break it even harder

[haughty owl]

Especially considering I was able to get Eternal running on a card from like 2016

[fresh kernel]

No way people do that with xbox releases right???? I have had so many issues trying to make every single xbox release function normally, including forza horizon 4 like you

[torn elm]

are you running a laptop by any chance? cause allstin had a 3070 and got 140 fps 1080p dlss balaned

[haughty owl]

Nope desktop

[fresh kernel]

Thanks a lot for the tip ill try that later today

[wary adder]

ALSO i'm not buying a graphics card that fucking combusts itself because the stupid 12 pin connector runs the major power through only 1 of them pins

LMFAO

[burnt timber]

yeah buy amd

[haughty owl]

Yeah no the 12-pin connector was genuinely the stupidest thing Nvidia cooked up

[torn elm]

make sure to breathe so you dont pass out

[burnt timber]

it's chill here on team red

[haughty owl]

All that AI and none of it could tell them that was a bad idea

[sinful kayak]

just plug it in right.... imma leave i cant

[fresh kernel]

I'm not gonna upgrade my PC for a game like doom tda, this series has ALWAYS been known as a game that can run amazingly on anything and TDA removing that is just trash

[runic spoke]

Damn reading all these issues, i must be real lucky. never had an issue with any game, well evil dead would refuse to launch but that was because it didnt like the oculus app for some bizarre reason but otherwise not one issue. nVidia really need to get their shit together, their drivers seem to be the whole issue with everything lately

[torn elm]

legit, i repair gpus and was baffled by the design

[wary adder]

i'm not expecting anything productive from you anymore so don't mind me, i'll just...

[torn elm]

kick and scream more?

is that the grand master plan

[wary adder]

ah, peace.

[fresh kernel]

If I was you Xem i would genuinely start fucking tweaking if someone replied to me the way this guy has been doing to you lmao

[haughty owl]

I was just sitting here with popcorn backing both sides lmao

Is this what the Swiss feel like

[wary adder]

Buying AMD has always been a budget decision for me but i've never ever had any regrets with it

[fresh kernel]

Imagine buying a new game and said game has insane amounts of technical issues for a large portion of players, including you, and you ask for help/vent and a guy comes yelling at you telling you how ur wrong and its your fault a product you didnt make is nonfunctional

[haughty owl]

I upgraded from AMD to Nvidia (580 4GB to 4060 8GB) but tbvh I may go back for my next GPU

[torn elm]

her gpu is 6 years old, this is a AAA game, use basic math

[wary adder]

i'm old enough to know when to draw the line and just push the ignore button. like, its a random person on the internet, what have i won even if i have managed to convince them?

[haughty owl]

Especially if AMD can produce a budget card on the scale of a 5070Ti-5080

[fresh kernel]

Im on an old ass laptop and im playing all other AAA games that release well with it, including eternal which I can run at better visuals and performance than the dark ages

[wary adder]

Frankly, seeing that i'm not the only one who finds this all a bit fishy is giving me enough satisfaction

[torn elm]

the 9070xt is REALLY good at msrp

[torn elm]

which AAA games?

[wary adder]

i mean don't be fooled, AMD pulls lot of corpo shit as well, especially with all the FSR stuff but i'd rather get cheated out of a small fuckton of money by them than out of half of my organs by nvidia

[torn elm]

same

[fresh kernel]

I mean like any genuinely

[fresh kernel]

If someone defends mandatory ray tracing, then they arent worth talking to.

[torn elm]

like?

[haughty owl]

Fleeced for an amount that coudl've gone to my car payment on a 5% increase in performance without DLSS 😭

[runic spoke]

Funny thing about FSR is it actually runs nVidia cards better on things like cyberpunk lol, nVidia have seriously dropped the ball on drivers and new cards

[wary adder]

i do admit that my ill will towards dark ages comes a lot of Mick Gordons Treatment during the Eternal Development cycle

[burnt timber]

anyway tech is definitely going into a stagnation period. clownshoes cards like 4090 and 5090 are not for most people, die shirnks are few and far between, next gen consoles are unlikely to go for more power. cards from 7800xt to 5080 will stay relevant for longer than ever i guess

[fresh kernel]

Final fantasy 7 remakes, split fiction, expedition 33, elden ring, I dunno a lot of games hard to think of now.

And most being games that should be more demanding than TDA

[wary adder]

and the absolute lack of taking responsibility for that.

[torn elm]

cyberpunk?

[haughty owl]

Yeah they did Mick really dirty and then outright painted him as the villain

[wary adder]

Lmao, Cyberblyat 1984 was such a trip on release.

[torn elm]

fr

[fresh kernel]

My ill will towards the dark ages comes from thousands not being able to play a game they paid for

[wary adder]

like, people started streaming it and having a blast WITH the bugs lmao

[fresh kernel]

Yep

[wary adder]

Cyberpunk on release was "lmfao car go yeet"

[torn elm]

dont read minimum requirements
buy game
shock

[fresh kernel]

But to be fair cyberpunk isnt exactly a well polished optimized game

[torn elm]

it is now, not on launch tho

[fresh kernel]

Id software isnt gonna hire u lil bro

[runic spoke]

nowadays it is but back when it launched it was a shitshow

[fresh kernel]

Nah, played cyberpunk a year ago and its a mess

[wary adder]

i'm considering playing it sometimes but then again, i have a massive backlog

[fresh kernel]

Yeah its fixed a lot but i couldnt go 30 minutes without some sort of glitch

[wary adder]

also i'm on a huge Metroid Mood right now.

[torn elm]

nah, its js sad seeing people always complaining but not wanting a response

[wary adder]

Metroid Dread and Prime Remastered ate GOAT

[runic spoke]

I was on the cyberpunk discord the night of launch and it loaded it on countdown, the glitches and bugs were horrific

[fresh kernel]

I dont think the thousands and thousands of people who have issues with the dark ages wanna hear someone tell them ITS YOUR FAULT NOT THEIRS when they have a valid complaint

Like forced ray tracing that has no place in games

[torn elm]

if you wanna vent js vent, dont expect logic in response tho

[fresh kernel]

Im sad i couldnt get into dread at all but i liked prime remastered a lot

[torn elm]

peace

[burnt timber]

idk what you expect buying a game to play on a pc that's below minimum spec

[fresh kernel]

"logic in response" is wild after you have done nothing but defend something objectively flawed...

[fresh kernel]

The game isnt exactly that much more impressive than eternal, it should run on a pc that can run eternal at max 144fps

And a system that breaks the game if you dont have enough vram? Come on.

[runic spoke]

Its the stupid drivers that are flawed not the game tho, if anything nVidia need to be held accountable for it

[fresh kernel]

Had to fix that myself and now the game works fine, yeah its not even close to eternal performance but at least it works

[burnt timber]

The game isnt exactly that much more impressive than eternal

objectively false

[wary adder]

not from you anyways 🤡

[fresh kernel]

I dont think nvidia added forced raytracing and an artificial vram block to the game files

[wary adder]

Give Dread another try, it's gonna pay off

even though some of the EMMI segments really are ass LMAO

[fresh kernel]

No, not false at all. Look at eternal at max graphics and then TDA at medium.

[wary adder]

looking at the fucking wavebeam emmi lmao

[burnt timber]

i don't feel like entertaining nonsense

[fresh kernel]

For some reason i seem to have hit my head as a kid or something cause i just cant get into 2D metroidvanias and it makes me feel dumb

[runic spoke]

i mean you can turn raytracing off, you know that right? And you can turn the Vram up in the settings, anything else is a driver flaw

[fresh kernel]

You cant turn off the mandatory ray tracing

[wary adder]

the first run of metroid games has a lot of "where the fuck do i go" going on lmao

[fresh kernel]

I think i struggle to remember where i was in 2D and i cant explain why

[wary adder]

Dread made me throw my controller a lot of times because some enemies are really gonna smash you if you panic, but the whole game is trying to make you panic. But the Story, the movement and the cutscenes are just

Samus is the closest thing Nintendo has to Doomguy, Change my Mind

[fresh kernel]

why are you replying with like actual statements and understanding? you should be yelling at me about how its my fault for playing it on the wrong type of controller or monitor

i think i will give it a try again i wanna like games like that

[wary adder]

because people have different life situations, frustration tolerances and time to play games on their hand. shocking, i know

[stiff glade]

You two have restored my hope for this damned channel 😭 stay blessed 🙏

[fresh kernel]

unrionically this but with you two, i have seen situations like this with other games before and i feel like usually its 1 vs 100

[wary adder]

its very hard to press against the "just buy new hardware bro" crowd

[fresh kernel]

its super refreshing to see people give like ACTUAL feedback and criticism and not just blind love

[wary adder]

like i'm sure Dark Ages slaps

I'm sure it does. but that doesn't matter if I feel like i'm being ripped off as a customer.

[fresh kernel]

I remember the starfield launch when i got softlocked in a room and i tried to get help and i got shat on

[fresh kernel]

yeah, like i bet its super amazing and i would love to play it at high frame rates but forced ray tracing just basically ruined any chance at decent performance i had

[wary adder]

its a doom game, it needs frames much more than it needs to look great in screenshots

and if you gotta turn on fsr and dlss the graphical fidelity is gonna suffer anyways

[fresh kernel]

doom the dark ages for switch when

[wary adder]

i've heard surprisingly good things about eternal on switch

[fresh kernel]

lowkey kinda crazy that the switch 2 would probably be a banger place to play doom tda if you dont have a pc (IF the mouse control thing works well)

[wary adder]

i kinda doubt it. you might be able to but it looks hella unergonomic

also i could go on a whole seperate rant about nintendos price politics here

[fresh kernel]

i was kinda baiting a based rant

[fresh kernel]

yeah probably, i think there are some third party molds that make them more mouse shaped but i dunno

[wary adder]

or some adapters to put em into

i mean with how prime remastered feels with the new twin stick controls i don't need mouse tbh

[fresh kernel]

tbh true

but 90€ games are ok because other companies would have increased their game prices at some point too!

[fresh socket]

Sooo, does anyone know how to fix this problem im facing currently?:

I want to play Doom over Xbox game pass
The Game starts and i hear sound, but no game, its also present in the task manager but thats it

[livid briar]

If u at pc with nvidia graphics card try the following:

• open nvidia system control
• reset 3d-settings

I have the game over steam but this worked for me

[fresh socket]

it worked ty pookie

[livid briar]

Omnissiah heard our prayer 🙏

[fresh pond]

open the powershell / CMD
Type:
cd "C:\XboxGames\DOOM- The Dark Ages\Content"
and then launch the game with this line :
.\DOOMTheDarkAges.exe +r_fullscreen 0

[muted robin]

IM TURNING OFF RAYTRACING

👹

[serene tide]

Is anyone else struggling to run The Dark Ages? my laptop (which isnt a potato btw) cant run it past 30 fps on low settings

[fresh kernel]

do shadows look insanely dark? did npcs in the first cutscene have white eyes?

[tidal goblet]

Why you gotta hate on my 5090 for ? Lmao

[viscid star]

hELP

I CANT LAUNCH GAME

[iron rapids]

Hey so I turned on Frame Gen but the FPS showed no differences. Does anyone know the resolve? My GPU is RTX 4050

[iron rapids]

Mine as well. The shadow looks insanely dark which sometimes got me kill since I couldn't see any enemies 💀

[viscid star]

how to modify config file?

[runic spoke]

On a 4050 your not going to see much difference with frame gen due to its limited cores, TDA uses DLSS4 but your 4050 is only capable of DLSS3 + Frame Gen

[runic spoke]

Or if not that then its a driver issue as with other nVidia card problems

[mossy wharf]

DOOM The Dark Ages

I can't load into the game, the game stops at the loading screen after the intro and then music randomly plays where the main menu normally is but i cant see the main menu

I have an Intel i7-14700K and an RTX4080Super, 32GB DDR5, with IGPU Intel, i put the command line in steam, restored settings in nvidia control panel, latest bios installation and clean installation of nvidia drivers(used DDU) the game wont load

[somber heath]

So I found out that FSR or any scaling other than TAA is for some reason broken on my resolution of 3840x1600 but any other res it’s fine lol

[torn elm]

Have you tuned your cpu? I have the same exact config as you and my experience has been flawless. Maybe try updating your bios or a cmos reset

Also don’t download nvidia drivers from the app, download them invidually

[torn elm]

wtf lmao

[somber heath]

did a few OS reinstalls a few driver swaps

just to find out doom doesnt like 3840x1600 but any other res is fine

[mossy wharf]

CPU isnt tuned, bios is to the latest version

[mossy wharf]

what is a cmos reset?

[torn elm]

On your motherboards IO, is there a button that says CMOs on it?

[mossy wharf]

wait

[vapid warren]

every 10 minutes looking at this ... i am just done

tried 25.5.1, 25.4.1, 25.3.2 all of the drivers same result

[somber heath]

send us a dxdiag

[mossy wharf]

Clear CMOS Button

[torn elm]

Yeah

[vapid warren]

what exactly do you need from the Dxdiag? i just opened it up

[mossy wharf]

that one?

[wary adder]

I am just witnessing this chatroom right now and it is glorious

[somber heath]

click save all information and send it here. the info is just hardware

[real turtle]

Did you find a solution? I have the same problem and had the same issue in Atomfall. Super annoying.

[mossy wharf]

do i turn off my pc and press it

[somber heath]

In your amd adrenaline software can you verify that smartaccess memory is enabled? (its in the "smart technology" tab)

[vapid warren]

yep it is

[torn elm]

Yeah you should

[somber heath]

this only happens in dark ages right?

[vapid warren]

yes, unfourtenatly

[mossy wharf]

wait lemme do that right now

[vapid warren]

at least to my knowledge, i had some driver timeouts in Path of exile 2 but i fixed them completely by just deleting DirectX shader cache via windows cleanup utility

[somber heath]

have you got FSR 4 enabled in adrenaline?

[vapid warren]

not globally + dark ages is not supporting FSR 4

[somber heath]

any game that supports FSR 3.1 supports FSR 4 🤓

but okay its not fsr 4 causing the issue hahaha

[vapid warren]

Afaik supported games have the toggle option for FSR 4 in adrenaline

[torn elm]

Okay

[somber heath]

you're right actually

[somber heath]

im running out of ideas its even weirder that you're facing these issues on a cpu thats used in almost every benchmark from youtubers and well tons of benchmarks get used on that card too

and from what i've been hearing from people who own the 9070xt its a very stable card

[vapid warren]

yep same.. it just doesnt make any sense... + the game worked i have played throuhout the entire early access period 10 hours of playtime not a snigle crash at all, i booted up the game today it suddenly happened and ever since then its just an infinite loop the driver crashes within 15 minutes at longest when i boot up the game.. it doesnt matter what stage it crashes in cutscenses as well...

it just doesnt make any sense...

[somber heath]

poop launch cheers id crying now 👍

[vapid warren]

I have tried to manually boot up earlier maps i have played in past days that didnt crash and now its crashing on that maps too lol

just to make sure its not something map related

[somber heath]

i remember specific amd cards used to driver timeout if you fired the bfg

in eternal sorry hahaha

[vapid warren]

interesting, I have played eternal on my old 6700xt then on 7800xt and even on my current 9070xt and none of them had a single issue in eternal

[somber heath]

it was the 5000 series

[vapid warren]

lmao, well 5000 series was the first lets say usable AMD card

i was on nvidias all the time till RDNA 2 came in

[somber heath]

RDNA 2 had a goofy driver launch for a few months i ended up selling my 6800xt and a week later they patched all the issues LOL

[vapid warren]

but yeah regarding dark ages i have seen many people with same issue on 50xx NV cards majority of them got it fixed by using older driver.... but same stuff, game freezes, audio keeps going and driver crashes

[vapid warren]

luckily for me I got RDNA 2 like 6 months post launch due to shortage during covid so i skipped that launch period

but RDNA 3 launch was a mess friend got 7900xtx and the GPU was unusable

[cunning adder]

Hi does anyone knows how can I fix the game opening in second plan via Xbox live?

[somber heath]

odd i got my 9700xt close to launch and it was fine

7900xt*******

[vapid warren]

it was mostly XTX.. cause he got 7900xt first then sold it and got XTX and the XT card was working really well (except the hotspots cause AMD reference model)

[somber heath]

do you remember the reference 6000 cards fans when they were spinning lol

[vapid warren]

airjets xD

[somber heath]

ohno

something a lot worse

[vapid warren]

oh you meant 6000 i dont remember that one actually never experienced reference of that gen

[somber heath]

watch?v=JauLUMhXv9c check that video out on youtube

[vapid warren]

i cant man i died lmao

[somber heath]

but yeah man so shit you cant even play the game. i thought my problem was bad

[vapid warren]

yep its unplayable.. it started after the most recent game update so maybe this is the culprit

cause prior to yesterday´s game update it worked like charm

[somber heath]

how good is your download speed

[mossy wharf]

still doesnt work

[somber heath]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3023295121 you might be able to rollback trying this

[torn elm]

wtf, it might just need a game reinstall or windows reinstall then

But do check your cpu temps, your cpu could be overheating on startup

[mossy wharf]

reinstalled the game 10 times

[mossy wharf]

lemme do that rq

[torn elm]

then check your thermals and wattage during startup of the game

[mossy wharf]

also Bethesda aint fucking answering

[torn elm]

use hwinfo

[mossy wharf]

i wanna kym

how do i see the temps

[torn elm]

use hwinfo

[mossy wharf]

38 degrees C

[torn elm]

On launch of the game,

? And what about wattage

[mossy wharf]

yeah

[mossy wharf]

didnt check

also i had CPU Tuned On on the motherboard bios, diabled it and got the same problem

[torn elm]

what motherboard do you have?

[mossy wharf]

MSI MPG Z790 EDGE TI MAX WIFI

[torn elm]

good motherboard, okay, in your cpu settings in your motherboard, try setting a voltage cap of 1.25 and set you p cores to "sync all cores" and your e cores to "sync all cores" set the p core ratio to 52 and the e core ratio to 39

[mossy wharf]

how do i do that?

nothing seems to be fucking working

[serene tide]

sorry for the REALLY late reply, yes they did, i thought it was on purpose

[normal wharf]

Anyone getting VRAM memory leaks?
I'm noticing a weird issue with my game. When I die (ie: reload a checkpoint) more of my VRAM is used until eventually I have none left and my FPS is halved. For reference I am using a 4070ti Super on basically max settings with the latest drivers. Is there a fix to this or do I have to wait for a patch?

[serene tide]

i have a similar issue with vram

died a couple of times, and now i have 20fps max(even if i restart the game)

Maybe its just me but the game is very poorly optimized

[normal wharf]

Damn that sucks, the problem fixes itself when I restart the game but I've never had an issue like this before. Good to hear I'm not alone

The game literally punishes you for dying 💀

[serene tide]

yep, but not only that, my laptop (yes laptop) cant even run it properly even though i have the minimum requirements, i might have to get a pc or smth

[tidal goblet]

For folks running into any issues. Please ffs disable your integrated graphics. Remove any kind of overclock on your CPU, GPU and most importantly disable any XMP or EXPO profile on your memory.

Even with the latest patch, there are a lot of instability issues for a wide range of users.

[fresh kernel]

its not, its a bug, something to do with ray tracing not working with 6gb vram, i can send u the fix i found if you want

[icy jacinth]

Hi, I am not sure if here is the place to share bugs, but I just ran into a visual glitch.
I run a Ryzen 7 5800X with a RTX 3090.
I have the latest windows 11 updates and latest Nvidia drivers.

Nothing major, but just wanted to share for the team working on the game as I am unable to fin a dedicated place to report bugs (I might be blind lol).

It's the texture for a jump pad that is off

[frigid owl]

game not loading right, can't see it but can hear it

[mint sparrow]

Has anyone else had an issue with disappearing saves?

[obtuse flume]

It's true?

They say that buying the cd is the same as downloading the game

[burnt timber]

yeah there's nothing on the disc

[muted robin]

is this the launch of the century?

[somber heath]

this launch has made me want to start smoking again

[obtuse flume]

Well, works for collection, in a few years will be expensive

[ancient current]

nah you can do way more than that with 1.25v

depends on what vcore is at after droop though which can vary depending on the board

[torn elm]

We already ran tests in DMs, his cpu is perfectly fine

[torn elm]

Also we’re not tryna overclock, we’re tryna undervolt and keep the temps and v core low

My own 14700k gets a max of 65 degrees C with V cores of 1.16 and a 33000 cinebench score

I have the p set to 5.2 and e set to 4.0

[ancient current]

back when I ran a 14900KF I ran the stock curve with 0.01 ACLL, with CEP disabled, and HT off. 5.7/4.4 at 1.15v post vdroop

[torn elm]

oh wow that’s very very nice

[ancient current]

50-55c under full load at ~240w (direct die)

disabling HT is basically the only meaningful way to drop the voltage requirements without having to lower clockspeeds substantially

[torn elm]

Direct die? wtf lmao, you get the one from EK?

[ancient current]

but at the cost of losing multicore perf

[ancient current]

it was the icemancooler block

I would be running my 285K direct die as well (I only moved platforms for the extra pcie), but I decided to not bother because of the capacitors on 3 sides making delidding nearly impossible without a heater

[torn elm]

How come?

[ancient current]

less threads

[torn elm]

Oh yeah my bad, it’s 2 am

[torn elm]

Mmmm, Intel user, me like

[normal wharf]

This game is very impressive in many ways, like when the VRAM isn't leaking I get very consistent FPS even in levels with a doomillion enemies on max settings

[torn elm]

Also I heard the indium layer is a bitch to melt off for Ultra series’s CPUs . Derbauer mentioned it

[ancient current]

it really is

I just didn't bother also because my bin wasn't all that special

[torn elm]

What mobo u on? Asrock pro series? Taichi? STRIX e?

[ancient current]

Z890 OC Formula

got it for the 6xM.2 and 1dpc

[torn elm]

Man it’s been so long since I’ve seen an Intel user with a formula board, genuine tear to my eye

[ancient current]

the good news is that Asrock seems to be commited to bringing the OCF back since there is an AMD version coming as well

[torn elm]

I had a buddy a long time ago that had a 14900ks with a z790 formula OC. I miss him. The mf water blocked his mobo and his ram too

[ancient current]

was getting boring only having Asus making OC boards after EVGA dipped and MSI took a hiatus

[torn elm]

Yesss, I can’t wait, they have the thickest nm traces too, somewhere in the 200 range on the top end boards

[torn elm]

Id software magic baby

[golden atlas]

what command line on Steam?

[ancient current]

idtech7 had literally no asset streaming and now idtech8 is basically the best you can get

[torn elm]

The optimization is SO good and people don’t even realize I think the game competes with modern ray traced titles. Have you played TDA on an HDR OLED yet?

[ancient current]

The fact that VRAM basically doesn't matter (unless your SSD is extremely bad) beyond 6GB or so at 1080p with no texture quality deficit is impressive

[mossy wharf]

The one in the FAQ and the one you find everywhere else online

[torn elm]

It does kinda matter at 6GB tho, there is some RTGI scaling loss I noticed

[ancient current]

I'm curious if anyone tried to see if it gets away with an raid hdd array since even bottom tier sata drives seem to be just fine

[ancient current]

also it has to be forced on

[mossy wharf]

If anybody cares i just finished setting up my pc again after the reset as a new build(not a backup) and the game still doesnt work

[torn elm]

I wanna put 4 990 pros in my next mobo and run all of em in raid 0 just to load in a texture half a ms faster

[torn elm]

Yeahh

[mossy wharf]

I think i am gonna refund this bitch

[torn elm]

Did you get a pre order or just normal?

[brisk glacier]

yeah tda also crashes for me after like 10min

my pc isnt the best BUT it aint no push over

i have no reason for it to crash

[ancient current]

I've only had one crash in 5 hours but it seems to be related to the present from compute option which some people have had issues with

[mossy wharf]

Pre order

[torn elm]

Keep it then for a while atleast

[mossy wharf]

Not even the "early-acces" worked

[brisk glacier]

what are your settings like

[torn elm]

It’s never crashed for me surprisingly

[mossy wharf]

Idk man

[brisk glacier]

cause im only running mine at like 1080p

does it hate AMD cpus?

i just got the game and i have already had like a half dozen crashes

for note my specs are:
R7 9700X
RTX 4060TI 16GB
32GB of DDR5 at 6400MHz
and a 4TB M.2

why does it have a heart attack at random intervals

[ancient current]

mostly just the high preset

[obtuse flume]

Same here... Not even one problem in all the run

[brisk glacier]

Tf

Why am i having so many crashes

[muted robin]

I think if you have nvidia you are toasted until they fix it

[true dawn]

Are you on the most recent drivers?

[true dawn]

I don't understand how Nvidia screwed up their drivers this bad.. it's an Nvidia sponsored game

[muted robin]

My friend also told me intel gets fucked up by it, which I have

[torn elm]

Did I just get insanely lucky

[true dawn]

I haven't heard any issues from Intel users, then again there's not a lot of them, and the game doesn't run great on Intel anyways

[torn elm]

I get over 150 fps, the game runs great lmao

[muted robin]

He was probably wrong

[muted robin]

Do you have nvidia or amd

[true dawn]

Who was wrong?

[muted robin]

My friend

[true dawn]

Ohhh

I mean have you tried the game?

[true dawn]

Getting like 100-120 without frame gen

[torn elm]

Yep, no frame gen

[torn elm]

Nvidia + Intel

[true dawn]

What are your settings?

[muted robin]

Ts ain’t fair cro 🥀

[torn elm]

Ultra nightmare 1440p dlss balanced

[true dawn]

Oh okay that makes sense then

[torn elm]

Sorry I mean quality

Not balanced

[true dawn]

I'm on FSR q in 1440 ultra wide. Assuming if I changed to your settings it would be about the same

[foggy pecan]

Does anybody got a blackscreen to on eternal??

[torn elm]

No

[torn elm]

How much are you getting

[muted robin]

I keep getting bugsplat the game won’t even open

[true dawn]

Like I said 120 with some small dips to 100 at the lowest

[foggy pecan]

How do I fix that?

[torn elm]

Pretty good

I assume 9070xt?

[true dawn]

7900 xtx

Basically the same in this game

[torn elm]

Makes sense, the vram makes sense

I think my card gets slightly more fps because it’s rt cores are more independent to the CU’s than on AMD GPUs

So it doesn’t take away from preloaded rendering

[brisk glacier]

Yes

[brisk glacier]

Ahh so nvidea is my issue

[true dawn]

What are your specs

[brisk glacier]

^

[muted robin]

The game did just come out so they will most likely fix it in a bug patch

[true dawn]

Oh sorry I forgot you posted them alr. Yeah you shouldn't be crashing with those specs, all I can recommend is turning off preset from compute and reducing your settings

[brisk glacier]

you know i wish i could turn off TAA

[somber fox]

im having an odd issue with launching game, i am running nvidia, so i am launching from Battle.net, it boots, i hear sounds but no program seems to be running that i can tab to. I can close a program from task manager, not sure what to do, I re installed multiple times, and my drivers aswell?

[true dawn]

just use DLSS quality. It looks and runs better than TAA

i cant stand TAA, it looks awful in most games

[brisk glacier]

i dont wish to use ANY

[true dawn]

that just seems silly

why not use anti aliasing

[brisk glacier]

cause i dont really care about visuals

[true dawn]

then why not use dlss???

Dlss increases frames at the cost of a slight visual drop

also anti aliasing doesnt cost a lot of performance, even on higher settings

[brisk glacier]

well im not having frame issues

the game just had a sudden heart attack and i need to use task manager to close it

[brisk glacier]

and i just did this with the same sudden freeze non responsive issue

[brisk glacier]

cause i just dont wish to use it?

should i need to use any of that just to enjoy a game

[true dawn]

well no, but if you dont care that much about visuals why play at 60 when you could play at 100 lol

[brisk glacier]

cause i could on average get like 90

[tidal goblet]

Yum. Too spicy though goddamn

[brisk glacier]

maybe more if i could turn it OFF

yes DLSS may raise my frames

but it also raises my latency

[thin token]

Are the graphics just really bad? I can’t get them to look good on my steam deck. Is it better on the Xbox?

[high ferry]

I need help for som reason doom the dark ages says I need to update my fully updated driver

[true dawn]

no it doesnt

[brisk glacier]

did it to me as well

[true dawn]

dlss lowers latency bc it increases frames

[high ferry]

How you fix it my frames are shit cause of it

[tidal goblet]

What are you on? Nvidia? If so , get on 576.40

[high ferry]

No I'm using amd

[brisk glacier]

we are

well i am

[high ferry]

I'm using amd

[true dawn]

DDU and reinstall.

[tidal goblet]

Get on the latest, turn on FSR and frame Gen if you can. You'll get hella frames. Clean install the driver.

[high ferry]

The game?

[true dawn]

no the driver

[tidal goblet]

What are your specs?

[true dawn]

@tidal goblet

[brisk glacier]

R7 9700x and RTX 4060 TI 16GB

i shouldnt HAVE to need frame gen

i get plenty of frames without

[tidal goblet]

Great build, turn on DLSS and 2x MFG. Yes I get it, you shouldn't have to turn on MFG, but you will HARDLY notice anything. Welcome to modern day gaming, bad optimization so they rely on AI frame Gen for good performance

[brisk glacier]

ok

how does this fix my orignal issue

[true dawn]

(hes having crashes, not fps problems)

[high ferry]

Uninstall and tell install I resume and what if it doesn't work cause I tried regularly unistallinf and reinstal and it didn't work

[tidal goblet]

If you're crashing, it could be a number of things. Id say get on the latest BIOS and remove any XMP or EXPO profile as the game is not playing well with certain overclocked kits of memory.

[brisk glacier]

i am on my lastest BIOs and well im not gonna disable my EXPO just only for this game

[tidal goblet]

Well then you're just gonna have to wait for a patch. I get it, you shouldn't have to , but there's nothing else we can do bruh

[brisk glacier]

ik

its fucking sad

[tidal goblet]

I've been in here for the last few days just helping people to even get the game to launch 😂

[high ferry]

Soo it didn't work

[tidal goblet]

What are your specs bruh

[high ferry]

My specs are fine

[tidal goblet]

We need more than just " it didn't work". I don't work for these guys, I just wanna help you out.

Let me know your specs so I can rule stuff out like certain hardware issues. Because there's an entire list of issues AMD and Nvidia side we can go through

[true dawn]

Use DDU and do a clean install of the newest driver

[tidal goblet]

This. Please don't just clean install the driver via AMD software

[high ferry]

Either I'm using it wrong or it doesn't work cause I did it till being stupid

[true dawn]

please describe how you are doing it.

[high ferry]

Wait

Nvm

I was doing something else ddu is a app thing what's the app actually called?

I don't want to download the wrong thing

And what version

What I download it from

How do I download and use

Cause apparently it's not just download

I hit download it oppens a zip

This shit make no god dam senses

[muted robin]

Yes I love not getting my moneys worth

[high ferry]

Now my PC broken trying to download this shit thanks

I saved it this ddu shit doesn't make sense

[true dawn]

i doubt it. what you downloaded is called a zip file, its basically a compressed version of the application to save file space and make the download quicker

right click on the file, and there should be an "extract here" option

[high ferry]

Than what cause nothing happens sorry I'm just save my PC from downloading a virus sorry for any hostility been trying to get this to work for 2 hours you tell me this ddu thin I almost got a virus

Just please what do I do after opening a fire

[rancid kettle]

Greetings everyone, and happy demon slaying 😄 @near compass Hey, you asked elsewhere for some help and then just left without even bothering waiting for an answer.

[rancid kettle]

Hey man, are you having an issue with your graphic card?

(DDU is an app used to remove all files related to graphic drivers)

[high ferry]

Thats what I'm being told to do cause doom is saying I need to update my driver to the version it already is

[true dawn]

Yeah it seems like his drivers are screwy. So I'm trying to get him to fresh install

[rancid kettle]

Hum. Side question (you'll think that it's stupid but...) What's your CPU?

[high ferry]

And now on on it and have no clue what I'm doing looking at thi

Ryzen 7 7700x 8-core

[true dawn]

That doesn't make any sense, you said you have an AMD GPU? Why is it removing only Nvidia software?

[high ferry]

It shows all amd is under

[true dawn]

Before you run the removal, make sure to download the most recent driver of AMD's website

[rancid kettle]

Oh, so it does have an integrated chip. So you can proceed with this then without any issue => https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/faqs/GPU-601.html

[high ferry]

It is or I would have just updated

[high ferry]

Yeah ik couldn't get it to work so I just disabled it

[rancid kettle]

You don't disable it usually as it has no impact at all on performances. Side note it's automatically used (when not disabled) when your monitor is pluged to your motherboard

Then to get proper drivers => https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html (don't use the scam websites/tools such as clouddrivers, ccleaner and so on)

[high ferry]

I just want to play doom man

It say I need my driver to be up to date and the only one enabled is so I just want my game to work

[rancid kettle]

Oh well, I tried to help you out. If you don't wanna bother following my tips, your call 🙂 Still wish you a nice one and take care.

[high ferry]

Enabling the driver isn't gonna do anything cause the integrated and my primary graphics card uses the same driver

[rancid kettle]

I told you about this, as by uninstalling drivers from your "big fat GPU", switching to your iGPU wouldn't be bad Till you download and install proper drivers.

[true dawn]

this is a common theme, it seems. ive been trying to get him to run ddu for like 40 mins lol

[true dawn]

definitely better than trying to use your gpu without drivers, which ive done. trust me it SUCKs

[rancid kettle]

I can understand the feeling of frustration, you grab a new game, you wanna play and it ain't running for whatever reason.

[true dawn]

i mean i get it, but theres no reason to not follow any troubleshooting steps, or follow the advice of people you asked to help you

[rancid kettle]

To be fair, some people do give some "tips", but end up saying enough BS to screw up things even more.

So i also can understand the feeling of being suspicious. Heck, even some "friends" we know can give tips such as : "Yeah better buy an i9-14900KS instead of AMD cpu to play games"

You know it's BS, others know it's BS, but not everyone.

[peak birch]

The only issue i had during my playthrough was textures not fully loading in (appearing blurry), even though i have an RTX 3090, so 24GB of VRAM. This happened on DLSS Quality, TAA and DLAA Upscaling and medium, Ultra and Ultra-nightmare graphics presets. I had the memory allocation maxed out too. Has anyone else had this?

And if anyone has figured out how to fix, i'd love to try it since it kinda broke immersion quite a few times.

[rancid kettle]

You might be willing to try playing the game without DLSS and set your graphic settings to High for the time being

[true dawn]

if anyone tells you to buy a 13th/14th gen intel for gaming, dont talk to that mf ever again. bro is trying to scam you 😭

[peak birch]

It happened with TAA upscaling too

[rancid kettle]

Don't use any upscaling tool/option

[peak birch]

So they are bugged?

[rancid kettle]

Dunno, just saying some things which could lead to a temporary fix

[brisk glacier]

ok i might have to disable my expo for what ever reason as now FH5 is crashing

[peak birch]

Thing is i don't think you can select upscaling "off" and its either TAA or DLSS for me on an Nvidia card

And literally changing graphics presets doesn't change fps at all :D

[rancid kettle]

At which speed is your RAM set?

[brisk glacier]

should be 6400MHz

[rancid kettle]

If i'm not mistaken, EXPO is for AMD CPUs, the sweet spot for AMD CPU is 6000MHz

[brisk glacier]

given that is the rated speed on the ram its self

[rancid kettle]

(6400 MHz for 9XXX CPUs with appropriate MOBO))

[brisk glacier]

of which i do have a 9000 series CPU

[true dawn]

you can enable DLAA instead

[peak birch]

I literally tried DLAA, DLSS Quality and TAA

[rancid kettle]

WIth RTX 3XXX?

Not up to date regarding all that stuff TBH 😅

[true dawn]

why not

[peak birch]

And like i mentioned earlier, i have an RTX 3090 so plenty of VRAM

[brisk glacier]

3000 series if im not mistaken cant use DLSS

[peak birch]

False

[true dawn]

oh youre asking if it has it? yes 3000 series can 100% use dlss and dlaa

[peak birch]

Every RTX card supports DLSS and DLAA, only 40 and 50 series support framegeneration and 20 and 30-series don't

[brisk glacier]

ahh

[rancid kettle]

"Stupid" but just in case.... Are you using the latest drivers build? And if that's the case, did dyou try with older version of it? (and if not up to date, proceed with the update)

[brisk glacier]

well let me reduce my ram speed rq to see if FH5 stops crashing

[rancid kettle]

Try it out at 6000MHz

[peak birch]

I always run the latest driver. I did not crash a single time and performance was very consistent.

[rancid kettle]

I recall seeing somewhere that FH5 is screwed up regarding memory if i'm not mistaken

(for high frequency)

[peak birch]

FH5 has had crashes on the RTX 50-series if this is about Forza Horizon 5

[rancid kettle]

I may be wrong though

[peak birch]

And also if you're crashing in videogames and you're on an AMD system, make sure to update your bios and update your AMD Chipset driver, find bios on the motherboard manufacturer website and chipset driver from AMD.com.

[rancid kettle]

F... 2:23 am, better go sleep 🤣 . Cya ladies & gents and have fun.

[brisk glacier]

my bios is up to date

the only thing i can think of is that maybe my ram is unstable at higher speeds

[drowsy crane]

Ok I need some help pleaseee

I launched dark ages on my pc, didn’t like the way it ran, switched to Xbox and now I have an fps counter stuck on my screen on series s

[peak birch]

@brisk glacier or the memory controller of your CPU

[drowsy crane]

How do I fix it?

[brisk glacier]

its gonna be a real kick in the balls if that on my CPU is going out

[peak birch]

@drowsy crane log to the game on your PC and turn off the performance metrics :)

[brisk glacier]

ok lowered to 5400MHz

[peak birch]

So what kind of crash were you experiencing?

[brisk glacier]

just a sudden freeze of the game

[peak birch]

There's a FAQ about AMD systems crashing on the official doom website. So game freezes and then what? Black screen?

[brisk glacier]

and it becoming unresponsive and forcing me to use task manager to close it

[peak birch]

Okay, did you check eventviewer?

[brisk glacier]

what am i looking for in event viewer

[peak birch]

red critical stuff

[drowsy crane]

Ive done that 4 times😭

[peak birch]

During the time the game crashed, see if anything related to any nv dll

[brisk glacier]

any exact red error

[peak birch]

Anything related to bugcheck or NV something

[brisk glacier]

nvldd?

[peak birch]

Yes

If there's a red critical nvldd error that means it is your graphics card crashing

[brisk glacier]

so corrupted drivers

[peak birch]

Not necessarely, could be just unstable gpu. Is it an OC model? Have you done any overclocking or undervolting?

[brisk glacier]

it is MSIs OC model and i have done neither

[peak birch]

And which specific GPU is it?

But yeah, run a DDU and make sure there's no dust in your PC or in the GPU and if that doesn't help, then use MSI Afterburner to underclock the gpu and make a more aggressive fan profile.

[brisk glacier]

its not overheating if thats what you think it is

[peak birch]

That is not what i think it is

[brisk glacier]

but it is the RTX 4060TI 16GB MSI ventus 2x

[peak birch]

Yeah well run a DDU

[brisk glacier]

and it crashing like this is a very recent and as of today development

[peak birch]

First heavy raytracing game you've played?

[brisk glacier]

no not by far

i use the damn thing to play vr games

never gets above 65

only started happening after the new Nvidia drivers were installed

[true dawn]

oh then just revert to the working ones

[brisk glacier]

i did

issues still persisted

[true dawn]

and still happening? damn

try ddu and install fresh drivers

[brisk glacier]

Thats what im doing rn

[peak birch]

DDU

[brisk glacier]

Yes

[acoustic bloom]

Hey i got 200 FPS in the new doom... (i have a RTX 4050 with 6GB vram)

Is that normal?

[brisk glacier]

With DLSS probably yes

[acoustic bloom]

All with the DLSS

... why my laptop are on fire

Okay, now I really want to know something. Is it just me or are the dark areas too dark? Almost pitch black... Does anyone know how to change that?

[brisk glacier]

ok im on known stable drivers

[vernal pine]

yeah, i got 120 FPS with RTX 4070 8gb vram, with DLSS quality with x2 frame generation, high quality, with my laptop, thats great

[acoustic bloom]

Incredible!... Does your laptop also sound like a jet turbine?

[vernal pine]

Not that much

[acoustic bloom]

And you now what is the problem with the dark parts?

I can't even see the corner... it's just black...

[vernal pine]

wow

[acoustic bloom]

Yep

[vernal pine]

what level is that

[acoustic bloom]

The second episode

[vernal pine]

Hebeth?

[acoustic bloom]

Yup

[vernal pine]

this is the next level I have to do, I’ll see if I have that too

[acoustic bloom]

I changed my settings to high... bro... that corner is still black.

[vernal pine]

Maybe you changed the brightness?

[acoustic bloom]

Ok i try

I put in 1.50

[vernal pine]

still black?

I couldn't help you with that, maybe it's the HDR or something, someone more competent could help you

[acoustic bloom]

Yup

I not have HDR

[vernal pine]

oh

well good luck for that 🙏

[acoustic bloom]

The dark age? nuh uh... the black corner:

[vernal pine]

When I have done the level I will see if I also have this problem, is it only in this place or everywhere else?

[acoustic bloom]

Only the big shadows

And blocks

[vernal pine]

okay, i will look into it

[acoustic bloom]

In this image you can see the difference, normal and then BLACK

it's just... weird...

[vernal pine]

It seems to be a shadow problem

[acoustic bloom]

The funny part... It's just the shadows that are near the walls... the other shadows are fine

[vernal pine]

Are you playing in full screen?

And are your graphics drivers up to date?

[acoustic bloom]

Yup

Full screen and the last update of nvidia drivers

[vernal pine]

Try lowering shadow quality, disabling contact shadows or ray traced shadows if enabled. Also, clearing the NVIDIA shader cache might help

[true dawn]

can you check your vram usage in game? pretty sure the minimum spec requirement is 8 gb

[acoustic bloom]

maybe it's the VRAM since I have 6GB of VRAM

I just wanted to know if anyone else had the same problems, to know if it's because of my drivers... or my configuration or if it's because of the game.

[true dawn]

yeah this is a known issue

i think its only happening on lower vram cards?

[vernal pine]

I have 8gb on my 4070 laptop, I haven't seen this kind of problem, but I haven't done the second level yet, I'll keep you informed

i need to sleep rn 🙏

[acoustic bloom]

go rest, thank you

Does anyone on this server have a 4050 or a 6GB graphics card?

[worthy drift]

I have that problem too, also with the eyes of the NPCs

[acoustic bloom]

X2

What graphics card do you use?

[worthy drift]

4050 laptop 6gb

[acoustic bloom]

Me too

So yes... is the problem to have 6gb vram

[true dawn]

you could maybe try turning down the settings all they way? and turn off reflections and directional occlusion

[acoustic bloom]

Nope

[hasty sierra]

Game outright prevents you from starting it if you don’t have 8 GB

[true dawn]

thats not true lol. @acoustic bloom has 6 and is playing right now

[acoustic bloom]

You can see... I'm not lying

What I did was to have shared RAM... you can share 2 GB of your RAM and it makes you have... you "have" 8 GB of RAM

I complete the mission and show it

[hasty sierra]

Okay, I see how you're playing now. Forgot you could do that.

[worthy drift]

virtual ram?... does that work?

[acoustic bloom]

Yup

I don't know if the correct term virtual RAM is correct since you take 2 GB of RAM from your main RAM but hey... IT WORKS

with everything at minimum I reach 200 FPS

Maybe if I upgrade my laptop to 32GB RAM there will be a change.

[nimble walrus]

i have an AMD RX 5700 XT, am i cooked? i dont want to buy a new graphics card bro

[acoustic bloom]

Depends... Vram?

[hybrid sand]

Hi Folks, I'm having a lot of trouble with downloading the Dark Ages on Game Pass on my PC, has anyone else been running into this issue? I've been doing google searches, resetting my network settings, rebooting, running troubleshooters, nothing is happening, it will briefly download for about 2-3 mins if I'm lucky, then hit 0BPS. I don't know who else to turn to, I can provide system specs if needed but I swear this is some kind of software issue I can't fix.

[nimble walrus]

one sec, ill check

[nimble walrus]

8176 MB, so like 8 gigs (which is the minimum reccomended by id)

[acoustic bloom]

I have 6gb vram and i can run the game fine

[nimble walrus]

it also mentioned a GPU with hardware raytracing

[acoustic bloom]

So, you cook

[nimble walrus]

i dont know if teh 5700 has that or not

the problem is that it still gives me the error, i literally just updated my drivers too

[worthy drift]

no more dark areas?

[acoustic bloom]

The same thing happened to me at the beginning of Game Pass, I simply restarted it and left it installing all day... (no joke, 12 hours)

[hybrid sand]

Did yours hit errors with the orange bar too?

[acoustic bloom]

only near walls and corners... during gameplay it's 10

[acoustic bloom]

Yup

[hybrid sand]

Okay at least it's not me.

[nimble walrus]

the 5700 does not have hardware raytracing

[true dawn]

nope

[acoustic bloom]
