[nimble walrus]

then... how do i fix the error...?

[true dawn]

welcome to the game doesnt boot club lol

[true dawn]

you dont, sorry.

[nimble walrus]

is this just a give up and refund scenario then

[hybrid sand]

Oh hey, an error code 0x87e0000f

[true dawn]

yes. your gpu simply does not have the required hardware to run this game

[worthy drift]

I'll try to do that

[nimble walrus]

absolutely amazing job by id

[true dawn]

RT is the future of graphics brother. it sucks for people on older hardware but its true

[acoustic bloom]

Try it anyway if you already have the game, maybe it works and if you have low FPS but at least it reaches 15 or 20 on Steam there is an app for 5 dollars that is like a DLSS

[true dawn]

the game will not launch. 5000 series does not have ray tracing

[nimble walrus]

i just booted it 3 more times, still the same error

[acoustic bloom]

So, F bro srry

[nimble walrus]

yeah

[true dawn]

its not a matter of it being too weak, it literally does not physically have the features required to launch the game

[acoustic bloom]

Too bad

[true dawn]

yeah..

[nimble walrus]

i've been thinking about upgrading here sometime soon

so maybe in the future

[acoustic bloom]

See? 2 GB more

[icy ginkgo]

Same happened to me!
I have a 3090 and played maxed out on 4k running the game like it was nothing and all the sudden my fps won't go above 9

[modern aspen]

Hello, I have a RTX 3070, 32gb ram, i7-11700k, Doom TDA will only run for about a minute or two at 60fps and then drop back down to 5-15, I don't understand why
I've followed plenty of guides on youtube to increase fps and my settings are as low as possible to promote just performance and nothing is working, I can't play the game at all for more than a minute

[oblique oyster]

What’s your settings you’re using? Resolution? (Based on ur monitor)

Oh wait I’m blind

[modern aspen]

1920x1080 @oblique oyster

just trying to keep it at 60 fps, ive tried with vsync on and off

[oblique oyster]

Hmm that’s really strange

Is your Nvidia driver on the latest version?

[agile minnow]

is there still no fix for this?

[modern aspen]

yes it is

[oblique oyster]

Gotcha
Ik u mentioned all ur settings are low

What setting do you have the texture pool size set to?

[modern aspen]

2056

[maiden shuttle]

anyone playing on amd gpus? for dark ages

[modern aspen]

ive tried running it lower too

[magic grotto]

im playing

[maiden shuttle]

specs?

[magic grotto]

AMD Radeon RX 6550M - GPU
Ryzen 5 7535HS with Radeon Graphics

[maiden shuttle]

did u update your drivers?

[magic grotto]

yes,

[oblique oyster]

Got it

Ok that is so weird
I’m not entirely sure how to fix this
I don’t think it’s a hardware problem since your card can actually pull thru with 60fps. Idk whats causing that big drop tho :(
sorry, maybe someone else here has a better idea of how to help with that!

[maiden shuttle]

ill try that and see what happens

[true dawn]

is preset from compute on? and are you streaming the game or have any kind of overlay?

[modern aspen]

all overlays turned off*

preset from compute is on

[true dawn]

turn it off

[true dawn]

yeah why

[maiden shuttle]

figured it out i was jus crashing as soon as i got into the actuall gameplay

[modern aspen]

i turned it off

still not good fps its the same @true dawn

[true dawn]

yeah idk

maybe ddu and reinstall drivers?

[true dawn]

Is there any way to fix this grainy effect? what is causing that?

Its so annoying

[crimson tiger]

Hello everyone, there is a problem in the game with very dark zones, no changes in settings help, I reinstalled the drivers as well as the game, maybe someone found a solution to this problem?

[true dawn]

how much vram does your gpu have

[tidal goblet]

Film grain? DLSS\FSR artifacting perhaps.

[true dawn]

no film grain, it appears even when i have no upscaler, but it gets worse the lower my upscaler setting

[tidal goblet]

Interesting, I couldve sworn I saw a post about this somewhere but I cant find it, something to do with RT

[true dawn]

but it also doesnt seem to happen in every scene? its so weird

im assuming its just a bug or something, but it really is distracting

[pulsar idol]

if this is Dark Ages its the RTX. It's built in. Nothing to fix it (Raytracing lighting)

[frank spear]

Hi, im not really the greatest when it comes to tech stuff but is this bad by any chance?

And if it is will it majorly affect anything?

[fading cairn]

verify hdr settings, your monitor/tv supports and if you have it on, go in detailed hdr settings and check if you can fix it there

btw. i had many crashes in random locations, sometimes every fw minutes, sometimes 2 hours with no issues. updated bios on riptide with ryzen 7800x3d and problem seems to be solved. maybe it helps sm1

[true dawn]

i assume this was meant for the other person and not me

@crimson tiger

[true dawn]

yes, you have less than the required amount of vram. the game should still run, but theres a good chance you will run into some performance issue or have graphical bugs. Also it seems that people with less than 8 gb of vram are having an issue where parts of the game are exceptionally dark. as in you literally cannot see

[frank spear]

Ah I see. Luckily I havent ran into any of the following issues so far. The game looks great and it runs at 60 fps, but the Only issue I have is i cant adjust the resolution or video quality

[pulsar idol]

@hollow fern Here are my settings. We should probably move the conversation here anyway

[pulsar idol]

In 'Upscaler' there is no off option. Unless I'm going blind. Also you aren't going to believe this but I turned off film grain and it looks better now so maybe I was actually being gas lit

[true dawn]

TAA or any of the upscalers set to native

[hollow fern]

@pulsar idol it’s ironic but you don’t have any ai upscaling on at all lol. DLAA is not miscalling.

Try turning off film grain they usually leads to a blurrier image and such artifacts does look like film grain. Tbh unless it’s like ww2 game specially using film I turn it off. It usually sucks.

99% of games I turn it off in. The sharpening can impact it too. Your resolution is also very very low

Chromatic aboration depends. Basically it replicates the effect of camera lenses. Can be good or bad depending on type of game and how it’s done. That one just experiment with.

[true dawn]

you cant have no anti aliasing for some reason

[hollow fern]

TAA is not an upscaler

[true dawn]

yeah thats what i just said

[pulsar idol]

Yep you were right w the grain

[hollow fern]

Yeah film grain is not usually good. Why do you have your resolution set so low?

[pulsar idol]

When you set it to TAA there are no further options. Maybe that means it is set to native by default. IDK. I looked up online and it looks like you can tinker with console commands

[true dawn]

taa is not an upscaler, there is no options to change?

its a form of anti aliasing
-# a terrible one, but ehh

[pulsar idol]

I have a ROG Zephyrus g15. It's good but not great.

[true dawn]

TAA literally stands for Temporal Anti Aliasing. its anti aliasing, not an upscaler.

[pulsar idol]

I do have 16gb of ram though. Ryzen 9. rtx 3070

[pulsar idol]

So you're saying having TAA on is having an Upscaler off. I do know what TAA is but I figured since it was under 'Upscaler' in the graphics settings, it meant something more in this context.

[true dawn]

yes. you can also do this by setting any of the upscalers to the "native" or "native AA" setting. which i would reccomend you do as that will be a much better image than TAA.

TAA is trash, plain and simple

[pulsar idol]

You keep saying this but the word native does not show up anywhere in the Graphics Settings besides under XeSS for 'Native Anti Aliasing'

[pulsar idol]

My best friend had chronic pain and went thru the same thing. He played widowmaker on PC on overwatch so it really sucked. I'm sorry to hear that

[true dawn]

i dont have nvidia but theres no native setting? that makes no sense, fsr and xess both have it

[hollow fern]

Also it’s because of the way anti aliasing works that often it can’t be turned off.

I don’t agree but it makes sense. Old school AA like msaa, fxaa, smaa take the image and do stuff to it to try and make it less jaggy.

It’s a post processing technique. As in the game is processed and it’s applied in post.

More modern aa like TAA used temporal data hence the name temporal anti aliasing. Basically TAA does its composition while the game is rendering. So it’s part of the games rendering pipeline.

Enabling or disabling fxaa and other old as is very easy for a dev.

But removing TAA from the rendering pipeline takes a lot more work.

And TAA is the future it’s far better than fxss and it’s best for consoles. While it can make the image lverl a bit blurrier in motion there a lot less noticeable on a tv farther away and at higher resolutions. Also the higher the fps the more TAA can be blurry. Most console games are 60fps so it’s much less of an issue.

And consoles are where most sales are made and kinda the default for modern games. TAA also has very little fps cost similar to fxaa but it’s far far better then fxas

Hence why it’s often impossible to turn off tas

[hollow fern]

He doesn’t have any upscaling on rn he’s running the game on native resolution. DLAA is not an upscaler but using dlss to do anti aliasing.

[pulsar idol]

Here are all the options for all 3 upscalers

[pulsar idol]

Ok so maybe the graphics settings menu is just kind of confusingly worded

[true dawn]

yeah i know lol. thats what i just said above

[hollow fern]

It’s actually not. It’s far better than fxaa and for the use case it’s intended for it’s usually pretty good.

I assume you play on pc and not at 4k? And not on a tv far away but a monitor up close? If so than TAA isn’t designed for your use case.

[true dawn]

he was asking how to turn off upscaling, so im telling him to use DLAA bc its better than TAA. Im very well aware that its not upscaling, that is exactly why im telling him to use it

[hollow fern]

Yeah I can see why. It’s using dlss but you see dlss and assume it’s upscaling. Which is a rational assumption. It needs a better description this isn’t on you.

[true dawn]

ok but for my use case, and the use case of the vast majority of pc gamers its bad. thus why i said its trash. bc on 1440/1080 at high frames (how 90%+ of pc gamers play) it looks terrible. Im not on console lol

[pulsar idol]

Roblox looks like shit but its crisp and clear. Lots of indies are super clear too. I just want to get to the point we can have these graphics without any meddling from filters, post processing, real time picture updating and so on. I'm sure it will take a long time but since I'm shrimp'd over looking at my laptop in the dark its easier for me to scrutinize I suppose. I played KCD2 on my couch so maybe that's also a part of why I thought that game looked so crisp and perfect

[hollow fern]

Yeah I agree dlaa is better than TAA I fully agree. I can’t think of a use case when TAA is better.

Unfortunately you can’t use both.

But to say TAA is trash well it isn’t not even close. You know what’s trash, no AA or fxaa which is how console games were just 5 years ago. Nintendo still doesn’t use any AA in their games and my god it shows.

[pulsar idol]

I turned DLAA while messing with the settings, I was using 'performance' earlier and since being on DLAA it does look cleaner. It feels clearer now but tbh I think the film grain was actually the even bigger problem. I usually like it. It looked good for Indiana Jones. idk

[hollow fern]

But you’re calling it trash when it’s not.

And no for many pc gamers it’s great. Most pc gamers couldn’t use msaa or DLAA due to performance hit anyways. Msaa 4x can easily cut your cps by 30% that 30% you can spend increasing your resolution and therefore sharpness a lot.

Msaa has always been a high end feature out of reach for most normal gamers. A premium feature. Fun fact forza horizon on series x uses 4x. Msaa

[true dawn]

I just think it looks terrible.

[hollow fern]

I mean yeah dlss performance looks worse then native basically always. I’d be shocked if it didn’t look better. And DLAA is a great AA usually the best so I’d be surprised if it didn’t work well

[hollow fern]

It can. What resolution do you run at?

[true dawn]

1440 UW

[hollow fern]

2560 x1440 or something else? So last AAA game before this did you use any upscaling and if so what setting? What about anti aliasing?

[true dawn]

UW = ultrawide

[hollow fern]

I know. I think that’s 3840 x 1440 but I don’t remember the uw resolutions of the top of my head.

And you could’ve been using black bars. I’d rather rely on you telling me than guessing and maybe wrong.

Not even all games support uw or do it well.

[vague gorge]

is it considered a bug that sometimes i get 60 fps instead of the usual twenty? does anyone know how to increase the fps

[true dawn]

3440

and no i dont play with black bars, defeats the point of uw

[vague gorge]

im already on the lowest graphic settings

[hollow fern]

Lowest is at least fine hardly any difference between it and highest. The top 3 settings are all the same until path tracing comes out too lol.

[hollow fern]

Honestly no idea. Integtwted grephics can have serious issues.

You’re well below minimum spec and memory bandwidth.

Do you have v sync on or anything?

Memory allocation from okay for your for igpu?

What about your storage is it a gen 4 nvme?

[true dawn]

i usually use fidelity fx cas or msaa

or just run the game at a higher res

[hollow fern]

Good to know. So what did you run at? Might help me understand why you’re having such issues with TAA to call it trash.

That’s not normal. It’s understandable to it not be your favorite but to say it’s trash is strong feelings. I can’t explain it unless I have the info :!

[true dawn]

usually like 1.5 internal res or 4k

[true dawn]

i mean almost every game ive ever used it with there are visible trails behind objects

[vague gorge]

yes, vsync is on. memory is also fine, dont have any problems with it. One problem is that my GPU is only 30 percent active while ingame. i dont know about the SSD though

can it be connected with the adaptive vsync?

[true dawn]

im surprised youre so surprised by my feelings on the matter? in my experience the vast majority of pc gamers dont really like TAA

[hollow fern]

It might be bc of upscaling combined with TAA. By 1.5k I assume you mean 2560 x 1440 idk since there not an exact resolution.

Make sure you’re using your monitors native resolution for your output resolution if you upscale. Or if you do native make sure it’s the native resolution. Monitors are really bad at upscaling.

[true dawn]

no 1.5x 1440 x 3440

so halfway between 1440 and 4k

[hollow fern]

Well yeah. Maybe it’s because I’m a very logical and rational person for me to say something is trash it has to be really really bad almost universally.

I don’t discriminate just because I don’t like something or it’s not meant for me doesn’t mean it’s trash to me.

I look at things objectively and fact based not emotionally and opinion based so that kind of thinking can be surprising to me.

Don’t take it personally people are often emotional, irrational and illogical. It’s hard to understand that rationally.

[true dawn]

im not being emotional lol

you said yourself it doesnt look good on lower than 4k, and the vast majority of gamers are not on 4k. like less than 5% game on 4k

so imo something that is not very good for 95% of users is not good

even if you say its fine or good on 1440, the majority of users are on 1080p. 55% of steam users. and i think we both can agree that TAA is simply awful on 1080

im not emotional or irrational. I really couldnt care less what combination of letters is in my settings menu, I just dont think it looks very good, and is not what the vast majority of users should be using

I never said it doesnt have any use cases..

[strange shard]

anyone else has problems with high cpu waiting time on ryzen 7 5800x3d? pls help 😦
just cant get more than ~30 fps no matter what i do. cpu seems to be locked (and its chilling at ~12% load)
RTX 2060 Super also around 60%

1080p 144hz no vsync, gsync on nightmare settings.
the point is: my really old PC with an intel I5-4690k gets 70fps on UN (same GPU 2060 super)
Ive done a clean windows re-install. all drives updated and no clue what it could be (monitor shouldnt be the case either, ive started doom-eternal on UN settings : 290fps)
no res scale, TAA, gsync off, vsync off. also disabled all overlays like steam, discord, xbox game bar. playing around with the res-scale (turn on: 0.5x scale) i get around 5ms waiting time out of the cpu -> increasing to 37 ish fps.
but remember: a nearly 10 year old i5-4690k got 70 with around 18ms waiting time on cpu ...
maybe someone else has an idea what it could be^^

edit: pic was taken with UN settings -> no real change. even if set on lowest settings

[scarlet cradle]

No clue, but i ran your story through chatgpt, maybe something that will help you, enjoy the emojis lol:

It sounds like you're facing an unusual bottleneck, and it's especially odd given how capable the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is compared to your older i5-4690K. Let’s break it down and troubleshoot based on what you’ve tried and observed:

🚨 Summary of the Problem
Game: DOOM Eternal on Ultra Nightmare

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D (low usage ~12%, high CPU wait times)

GPU: RTX 2060 Super (~60% usage)

Resolution: 1080p, 144Hz, G-Sync ON, V-Sync OFF

FPS: Capped at ~30-37 FPS regardless of settings

Same GPU + older CPU (i5-4690K) gives better performance (~70 FPS)

Clean Windows install, drivers up to date, overlays off

🧠 What This Looks Like
This smells like a CPU bottleneck or system-level issue — but not because your CPU is "slow," rather because it's not being fully utilized. And that’s the red flag.

When CPU usage is low and you have high frame waiting time (frame latency), that suggests:

🧨 1. Power Plan / BIOS Settings / CPU Boost
Check for anything preventing the CPU from boosting properly:

Windows Power Plan: Make sure it's set to "High Performance" or "AMD Ryzen Balanced".

BIOS Settings:

Ensure PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) is enabled.

Disable Cool'n'Quiet, C-States, or any eco/power saving features.

Check your CPU temps (X3D doesn’t like to get too hot; it can throttle aggressively).

Use HWiNFO64 or Ryzen Master to check real-time CPU frequency — is it boosting to 4.5GHz+ under load?

🧼 2. Background CPU Limiter (Scheduler / Core Parking / Game Mode)
Turn Windows Game Mode ON.

Check core parking in Windows (use ParkControl by Bitsum to see if cores are being parked).

Make sure the game is running on the correct CCX/core complex — 5800X3D has a unified CCX but sometimes thread affinity can be mismanaged by Windows or game engines.

Ensure you're not running CPU virtualization (like Hyper-V or VBS) — they can mess with scheduling.

🧪 3. Windows Performance Counters / Scheduler Confusion
The 5800X3D is a complex chip with a large L3 cache, and Windows’ scheduler can sometimes get confused.

Try this:

Open CMD as admin and run:

bash
Kopiëren
Bewerken
bcdedit /set useplatformclock true
Then restart.

This tells Windows to use the HPET (High Precision Event Timer) instead of TSC — sometimes improves scheduler accuracy.

You can revert later:

bash
Kopiëren
Bewerken
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
🧩 4. Check for Hidden Frame Limiters
Sometimes a low FPS cap can be hiding where the actual issue is:

Open NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings → Make sure Max Frame Rate is OFF.

Disable G-Sync for testing.

Launch the game in windowed mode just to rule out weird full-screen optimizations.

Also test with GeForce Experience uninstalled (not just overlays off).

📺 5. Monitor Configuration / Refresh Rate Conflicts
Try this:

Set monitor to 60Hz just to test.

Launch game → observe if FPS still caps at 30-37.
Some drivers/firmwares can conflict with high-refresh + G-Sync and end up causing half-refresh bugs (common with VRR).

🧪 6. Compare with Logs
Use tools like:

CapFrameX to log your frame times and CPU/GPU usage.

MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner overlay to confirm the actual utilization of each core/thread.

🧠 Wildcards to Consider:
Chipset Drivers: Download latest AMD Chipset drivers from AMD.com (even if Windows says you're updated).

BIOS Update: Especially for X3D chips, latest AGESA firmware is critical.

Memory Settings: Are you using XMP / DOCP? RAM speeds below 3200MHz can bottleneck Ryzen.

Game Files: Try moving the game to a different drive or re-verifying integrity.

Mouse/Peripherals: Sounds dumb, but some USB devices can cause DPC latency that affects frame delivery. Test with minimal peripherals.

✅ Suggested Immediate Test Path
Set Windows to High Performance

Update chipset drivers + GPU drivers (from AMD/NVIDIA sites)

Check BIOS for PBO / disable eco features / update if needed

Set monitor to 60Hz and disable G-Sync

Run game in windowed mode

Check real CPU clocks with Ryzen Master or HWiNFO64

Let me know what results you get from these, especially CPU frequency and frame waiting time changes. If that doesn’t reveal anything, we’ll dig into things like IRQ conflicts, registry-level power settings, and kernel timers.

[simple trail]

maybe someone can help, i turn on the game, it runs on background and it doesnt show anywhere in tabs, so i cant open it but i do hear music. I updates drivers via nvidia and restarted PC , same issue

[boreal dagger]

Can you switch to it from task manager?

[strange shard]

check start-paramter tipp on the FAQ ( i think it was something like r_resolution 1280 and forcedwindow)

[strange shard]

thanks for the tipps, i also ask gpt and went through most of these points.
like XMP settings, etc.
PBO is not available for 5800x3d
im using a B450 Aorus Elite v2 with newest bios update.

the weirdest part about it, is that eternal has 0 problems with the cpu utilization. Also no other game is running that bad

[modern aspen]

Hello, I have a RTX 3070, 32gb ram, i7-11700k, Doom TDA will only run for about a minute or two at 60fps and then drop back down to 5-15, I don't understand why
I've followed plenty of guides on youtube to increase fps and my settings are as low as possible to promote just performance and nothing is working, I can't play the game at all for more than a minute

[fathom furnace]

Hey not sure if this is the right spot for it but I have run into an issue where the right trigger no longer works for shooting.

Its not a hardware issue as the button itself works normally for in game menus and other games.

The bug extends to all chapters and on making a new save file.

Anyone else run into this or have any ideas?

[viscid star]

Hallo! I just wanted to confirm if these graphics settings are ok? Vertical Sync off, Sharpening 1, film grain 0, DLSS sharpening 0, HDR off, Motion blur off, Texture pool size 4096(max), Graphics high. Chromatic aberration on...

[brisk citrus]

having issue with my 3070 low setings cant event hit 60 fps ?

anyone experience this kind of things

[tidal goblet]

Well, do you use DLSS? If so, you probably want to use DLSS sharpening as DLSS makes games generally look super smooth

Like as in, the textures look way too soft. Sharpening usually helps out, alot.

[viscid star]

no currently its turned off, dlss extra frames and it ends up not looking nice. I can turn on x2 dlss tho

[tidal goblet]

What card do you have?

[viscid star]

4080

you use dlss?

[tidal goblet]

Yeah absolutely. I have a 5090 and I use it. You have DLSS 4 too so visually it shouldn't be making your game look ugly, neither will 2x MFG.

[viscid star]

god damn thats a beautiful setup... you sue x4 dlss probably

im currently playing on high graphics, how about you? nightmare graphics?

[tidal goblet]

I use 2x MFG and I get 300 FPS

4x would probably be insane, but I have a 240hz panel, so no need for more than that 240. I play on Ultra Nightmare everything yeah

[viscid star]

game kicking my ass on nightmare lol

[tidal goblet]

Like graphic wise? I finished my run of Nightmare difficulty at 150% speed the other day. Gonna go for Pandemonium today

[viscid star]

no difficulty.. wym speed? you can run faster?

[tidal goblet]

Yeah you can speed the game up more lol

150% is damn fun

[viscid star]

i will try it

[solemn wyvern]

hello guys!

does anyone ever had a popup during the game which saying "unknown error please try again" and it just constantly pops up during the game

do you guys think that with a ryzen 5 5600gt 16gb and a rtx 2060 i can play doom the dark ages 60 fps medium?

[cobalt orchid]

hi guys this is my pc R7 5800x
Radeon 6700xt
16gb 3600 Mhz

my problem is with doom eternal and doom dark ages after i open the games it stucks on loading screen and i hear the music how to fix it

[jade wing]

fuck you id software

[subtle kelp]

Begging anyoner for a fix - game crashed in the middle of chapter 21 and now I cant launch that chapter or progress into it from the previous level. 28 hour in, at the finish line, and I cant because Id didnt playtest the game as needed. Dont understand why they think we want NVIDIA to bankroll the game with all the "features" when we cant even make the game playable. Just so dissapointed, dont want to restart the entire game or watch the ending on youtube.

[torn elm]

On a 4080 you should be getting 80-90 fps on 1440p with DlAA and max settings (ultra nightmare) and 140+ fps with dlss balanced

[torn elm]

Verify game files

[torn elm]

Did you not read the requirements before purchasing this game

[torn elm]

Yes, with DLSS balanced

[subtle kelp]

oh wow the Arbitor of Knowledge decends from the heavens to give us the sacred fix - like I havent reinstalled, verified, rolled back drivers etc.

[subtle kelp]

Like wI would come here if I hadnt smh

[torn elm]

It’s a big that new doom games are having nowadays, the only way to really fix it is just to wait it out for now. Js make sure your drivers and bios are updated and pray

[torn elm]

I’m just a dude on the discord I gave a recommendation that worked for me, i don’t get paid to remove the 12 foot titanium rod lodged in your ass. Be a dick to someone else

[subtle kelp]

are you readinjg what you are typing? The game was released and should run. End of story. Why is wanting it to work the first time without hassle so bad?

[torn elm]

I’m not apart of ID software what the fuck do you think I am? It’s something that happens and then works

[subtle kelp]

"Just wait for a fix" I waited many years

[subtle kelp]

replying like a paid mod lmao but ok

[torn elm]

I come here to discuss tech not to bitch and moan when everything isn’t hunky dory. If there’s an issue, you fix it, and if you can’t, you wait for ID to fix it. What the fuck do you want me to do?

[subtle kelp]

maybe not reply with suggestions if your attitude is people fixing it on their own? Like why even reply?

[torn elm]

Everyone has to fix it on their own? Have you never seen a tech channel in any discord ever? It’s something that works for people, or just feedback. Knowing something is better than knowing nothing

[subtle kelp]

crazy ur still typing

[torn elm]

Who shat in your coffee today?

[subtle kelp]

iD software! After crashing and corrupting my save at the end of the game

[torn elm]

and I’m sorry that happened to you but I had NOTHING to do with that. All I can do is try to help you based on what’s worked for others and myself

[true dawn]

You come in LITERALLY begging for help and then give major attitude to the first mf that tries to help you

[ebon quail]

😭

[true dawn]

Here's a troubleshooting step: get a better outlook on life, maybe then the game will start working

[ebon quail]

he is so fucking salty about this its amazing

[torn elm]

I hope his game crashes every time he launches it so he has to watch the ending on Reddit

[torn elm]

The cornball talks like he’s in Rick and Morty

[true dawn]

Game sensing his shitty attitude

Shit man I wouldn't wanna launch for that guy either

[torn elm]

Fr, communicating like a freshly divorced father

[torn elm]

Fr, he was probably drunk as fuck tho ngl

[ebon quail]

this is mostly due to the raytracing part, a 6gb gpu works

[waxen trout]

awh man i missed it

[true dawn]

At least when I get wasted I have the sense to stay off discord.
-# sometimes..

[torn elm]

• owns over 6 year old GPU

• doesn’t bother to check the requirements for a modern AAA game

• buys game

• game doesn’t launch

• fuck you id software

[ebon quail]

yeah lol

[torn elm]

It was a proper show

[ebon quail]

the rtx 2060 works fine, and the graphics still look good

[torn elm]

Good, otherwise you end up like him

[waxen trout]

i wanted to verbally assault someone too

[torn elm]

I didn’t even expect that to work in the first place, I’m surprised it works on sub 8 gb gpus

[ebon quail]

me too, and im glad they do

[true dawn]

Obviously Id didn't sacrifice enough virgins this launch. Can't match Eternals black magic optimization

[ebon quail]

otherwise i cant refund it lol, probably ognna buy black myth wukong next

[ebon quail]

tbh it still matched it, or like, atleast compared to the years of gpu age i guess

[torn elm]

So true, tho people tend to forget eternal didn’t lock gpus out like TDA does, but the gpus would run at like 24 fps if they were under minimum spec, so what’s the point

[ebon quail]

like id say the 2060 super is like the rx 580 of tda

[true dawn]

Not really. Eternal ran on integrated graphics, and of you had a top tier card at the time you could rip like 120 fps UN

[ebon quail]

i did not mean literally

[true dawn]

Fair enough

[ebon quail]

the 1050 ti is the minimum for eternal and released on 2016
the 2060 is the minimum for tda and released in 2019
only a 3 year gap lol

[true dawn]

The minimum spec for eternal is bs, I remember that from launch

You can run ts on way lower and be fine

[ebon quail]

i mean yeah that makes the years more equal then

[torn elm]

The farthest back gpus I could find that launched eternal were from about 2013…which balances out eternal and TDA in terms of min spec

6 years for both

[true dawn]

Difference is eternal runs better on said GPUs.

[ebon quail]

true

[torn elm]

A 2060 can run the game at 60 FPS with dlss. A 2013 GPU can’t really do that

[ebon quail]

2060 runs tda at 90 fps

[torn elm]

Yeah, and a 780 ti (best GPU of 2013) seems to be running eternal at 45-50 FPS at 720p

[hexed spindle]

why does my game run at 40 fps with a 3060

on low graphics

[torn elm]

If you’ve already enabled DLSS, then it’s just TDA bugging out. I’d say wait till they release the patch, sorry it’s buggy

[ebon quail]

the radeon r9 280x ran eternal at 66 fps

[torn elm]

I love both games tbh. But I think the fact that TDA can run on higher fps on older hardware than eternal with much prettier graphics makes it take th cake for me

[ebon quail]

yeah, even with super low graphics on a 2060 the game still looks good

i think its mainly becuase the minimum graphics standard has just increased in terms of gamedev

so if you played a game in like 2040 it would look like today's max settings on the lowest settings

[torn elm]

Yeah it gets about that much with a cpu from the time.

I looked at a lot of tests and they involve having a much more modern cpu with the older GPU. Which defeats the purpose of GPU testing it

[ebon quail]

well, that is to ensure the lack of bottleneck

[torn elm]

Oh I’d even say in 2030

[ebon quail]

since the pc can only use one of the graphics options, it cant use both gpus at once

it is to make sure that the cpu isnt the problem, and only the gpu is

and either way the cpu would be bottlenecked to the gpu, so its not really a big deal

[torn elm]

The thing is, at 1080p and below and on lower graphics settings the cpu is doing most of the heavy lifting, since it’s making more draw calls.

A better realistic option for gamers with those systems would be to have a cpu from the time over release near the GPU too

[cobalt orchid]

@torn elmty for the answer

[torn elm]

Your welcome! Hope the game works for you soon

[cobalt orchid]

yeah hope the same but is there update for etrnal too ?

because the problem on both

[torn elm]

Yeah, I had the same issue too, it fixed itself tho

[cobalt orchid]

q_Q okay will wait was so hyped for the games to sadly this happen

but oh well thanks so much@torn elm wish u best night or day ^_^

[torn elm]

It’s alright, thanks man. Do update me if it works aight?

[cobalt orchid]

will do brother

[chrome sphinx]

To anyone having low fps on Hardware thats recommended in Doom The Dark ages (rtx 5070 ti for me), My fps seems to have Jumped back up during the second chapter. This is still bad since it should be high from the very beginning but its still good to know. Hope this is useful to anyone else having the same issue as me 🙂

[true dawn]

Performance has been so incredibly inconsistent for me

One day I get 120, the next I get 60

[chrome sphinx]

Yeah,the fps does jump up and down which is not good. I hope that Id put out a patch soon for this because ive come to the conclusion that its NOT a driver issue (at least for me)

[candid cape]

Hey there, everbody. I got a question or problem concerning DOOM: The Dark Ages. Even after changing every setting (especially film grain) and upscaler i still get this insane level of noise from lightning. I guess i just need to deal with until the path-tracing update brings ray reconstruction? Or am i missing something or is it caused by faulty hardware.

Would be very happy to hear your opinion on that matter.

[rain pier]

What Will path tracing do ?

[waxen trout]

basically ray tracing on crack

[river vector]

Do we go here to talk about game breaking (Eternal) or is there another channel for that-

Nevermind

I fixed my issue

[viscid star]

yep getting 150 without dlss on high graphics

[torn elm]

There we go, 1080p?

[mortal dirge]

why is rtx a requirement?

[torn elm]

Helps speed up development and help accurate hit detection. Also aids in making the game look and feel more cinematic since it’s a lore heavy game

[mortal dirge]

allat to play at 40 fps

[tidal goblet]

300 fps LMAO

[mortal dirge]

without frame gen?

[tidal goblet]

Nope 200 without frame Gen

[mortal dirge]

without fake frames?

[mortal dirge]

how much your gpu cost?

[tidal goblet]

2k

[mortal dirge]

2000/200 = 10 dollar per frame noob

[torn elm]

Basic math really is a gift

[mortal dirge]

also you lying out yo fuckin ass with that 200 fps no frame gen

[tidal goblet]

Guess what? Don't care. I make six figs sitting at home, I can buy whatever I want and don't care about your performance. Been in here helping out a ton of guys getting their games to run

[mortal dirge]

who asked

[torn elm]

I get 130 on a 4080 super. He owns a 5090

[mortal dirge]

again who asked

[torn elm]

You did

[tidal goblet]

You're clearly mad over a screenshotted I posted. You said I was lying about 200 native lol

[mortal dirge]

did ask for your input tho

[torn elm]

Did anyone ask for yours?

[tidal goblet]

Doesn't matter, the dude ain't lying , I'm not lying. It's always some weirdo with a furry pfp LMAO

[torn elm]

Bro defo has a 3050 or GTX GPU ain’t no way he acting like this

[torn elm]

He’s projecting. And very blatantly

[tidal goblet]

"All that for 40 fps"

[scarlet elbow]

2k for a card just to get 200 fps is honeslty terrible if you really think about it

[torn elm]

In a modern AAA game with ray tracing? No it ain’t

[tidal goblet]

I'm chilling!

[scarlet elbow]

Bro throwing that out like its a come back, they wont let oyu hit daug dw

[mortal dirge]

why do we need ray tracing in a doom game though?

[tidal goblet]

Don't know , blame the devs and the current gaming space

[scarlet elbow]

we are are your defending them bruh

[torn elm]

It runs on 60 fps on 6 year old cards, why not

[torn elm]

Complaining doesnt make you right, just means your complaining

[scarlet elbow]

waaaaaa

[mortal dirge]

lets add ray tracing, so we as devs can sit on our asses and make 0 effort to use baked in lighting on a fuckin fps game where the only thing that matters is high fps and responsiveness

[torn elm]

Have you played TDA yet? The game isn’t like eternal, it actually feels good around 80-90 fps

[scarlet elbow]

copium

[mortal dirge]

yeah I have and it fucking crashes everytime I boot, so theres that

[torn elm]

Homie just cuz u broke ion gotta hear bout it 🥀

[scarlet elbow]

chronically online ahhh response

[torn elm]

I agree, it’s very hit or miss. Very buggy rn. Hopefully it gets patched. There’s users here that can run the game flawlessly on a 2060 super and others that can’t even run the game on a 5090 for some reason

[scarlet elbow]

at 40 fps

[torn elm]

Just throwing anything at the wall now huh?

[mortal dirge]

🥀 💔

bro like 14

[scarlet elbow]

bro you tried to call me poor over a video game waaat

[torn elm]

I’m not the one crashing out over someone else’s fps like you were

[scarlet elbow]

only crash out is you

[torn elm]

I ain’t complaining about RTX. You were

[scarlet elbow]

what does that have anything to do with me being poor

[torn elm]

You reek of poor

[mortal dirge]

and you reek of poor financial decisions

[scarlet elbow]

@modest ruin

[torn elm]

I live comfortably

[scarlet elbow]

dude we're random stranger on the internet, acting like claiming your rich makes you cool

[mortal dirge]

alone

[torn elm]

I’m also random stranger on the internet, you acting like a tough guy over an opinion

[scarlet elbow]

waaat tf are you tlaking about, whos acting tough, @ one comment i made bruh

[scarlet elbow]

brokey cant talk anymore

[tidal goblet]

I'm not defending some dev. It sucks that people can't run this game because of the decisions made. But don't get mad because spend their money the way they want. Blame the industry, blame Nvidia , don't blame the consumer

[scarlet elbow]

dude without the consumer you dont have the industry

you spending 2k on a card means they can sell cards at 2k

[mortal dirge]

yet you are the one who finds it reasonable to spend 2+ grand on a fuckin gpu to play unoptimised trash

[tidal goblet]

Bruh Nvidia doesnt give AF. Gaming GPUs are less than 10% of their space LOL

[scarlet elbow]

thats still 10% of their revenue stream

[tidal goblet]

Who said it was reasonable. I bought it but I didn't find it reasonable. I just buy high end gear because I have the means.

I know very well I'm not representative of the average gamer

[scarlet elbow]

tbf bro we dont have a problem with you its the "Your just poor" @torn elm mentality

[tidal goblet]

You come in here saying "all that for 40fps" and it just comes off as condescending and annoying. You don't know my use case, you don't know my specs and it's just some bullshit assumption. There are a ton of people playing with mid range gear and they are getting a good frame rate.

[scarlet elbow]

good on what metric, its a twitch shooter running below 100 fps

[scarlet elbow]

an also yeah... always fun to do a little bit for trolling when you have giga losers like mecat defending the game with his life an when he has nothing left to say he calls you poor

[tidal goblet]

People running 400-500$ GPUs with 60fps? I personally can't stand anything under 120.

I'm preaching to the choir when I say that the industry as a whole doesn't give a crap about optimizing so they use frame Gen as a crutch.

The tech has gotten to a point where it shows almost ZERO artifacting and is out here double, tripling , quadrupling frame count. It's here to stay, it's expensive and it is what it is

[torn elm]

I know what it’s like to be almost homeless. I’m not gonna actually judge anyone for being poor. But you were objectively being condescending a prick to someone that enjoys a game and has the facilities to enjoy it to their fullest. You can’t throw the first punch expect not to get anything back

[scarlet elbow]

Yike... moving on

[tidal goblet]

Imma be real, I had hella fun playing, thats all that matters to me

[torn elm]

Do you enjoy being annoying and insufferable?

[scarlet elbow]

brother cant let go of the convo, you poor shamed thats on you buddy

[torn elm]

You really wanna win that bad huh?

[scarlet elbow]

🫃

[tropic dune]

Not to interrupt but... Is there a place to report bugs?

[mortal dirge]

the entire game is a bug

[scarlet elbow]

Probably on their website

but there isnt a ticket system

[torn elm]

Not really other than just emailing them i guess. There’s so many goddamn bugs

[tropic dune]

Haven't encountered that many tbh, but last night a couple times I got a minor (but game breaking) bug where I couldn't block with my shield at all. First time it happened I had to reload last checkpoint and the next time it happened I was just trying different things and it resolved itself

Hoping it doesn't happen more frequently cause you know... can't really parry if you can't block

[torn elm]

Yeah ofc. I haven’t experienced any game breaking bugs yet on my own. My experience so far has been very minor. But in general it should be patched

[tropic dune]

For sure

[serene tide]

Is baked lighting even going to come out on doom the dark ages?

[true dawn]

You literally invited it by coming In here and shitting on other people's builds for no reason

[true dawn]

No.

[serene tide]

I'm cooked

[brisk glacier]

ok my issues are fixed

solution: go back to older drivers

[pliant sable]

ive encountered this too, i found the shield just needs resetting, the fastest way to fix it is just throwing it

[sly barn]

I'm wondering is there a way to playtest the path tracing in the game?

[deep magnet]

Hey I'm having issues with trying to optimize the Dark Ages. I've tried lowering all the graphics, restarted my laptop, everything. It meets the game's spec requirements but my VRAM is Spiked at over 50,000MiB/32,000MiB, causing my gameplay to only have 9 FPS. Does anybody know what else I could do? I've really been hyped over the game and I don't want this problem to prevent me from finally plying

[daring sparrow]

anyone got the game working on game pass ?

[deep magnet]

I do but yk

having my current problem with it

[daring sparrow]

all i can hear is the music

nothing opens but i can see it in task

[deep magnet]

What've you tried so far

[daring sparrow]

update all drivers and windows

restart and reinstall the game

play with settings on Nvidia still the same problem

Bethesda has a fix for it for Steam and Battle.net but no love for gamepasss

[deep magnet]

Do you have more than 1 monitor

could be a display issue

[daring sparrow]

ok down to 1 from 4

nope same problem

[deep magnet]

make sure your hdmi cords plugged all the way in

if you haven't already

[edgy glade]

does anyone know how to fix audio buffering

the music cuts out every nano second and its really choppy on xbox

[daring sparrow]

yep all cords good

[deep magnet]

damn then i'm not 100% sure what the issue would be

sorry I couldn't help much

[daring sparrow]

all good but thank you

[thorn roost]

Hey guys I’m having such a freaking blast playing the dark ages. Already game of the year for me. However, I’ve seen to be facing this annoying graphical problem where the character’s eyes are all milky white. Also the shadows are extremely dark so it’s so hard to play in certain sections.

Has anyone else faced or are currently facing these problems?

And hopefully have some suggestions to maybe fix it.

[clear hawk]

you need to spoof vram so the game force enable rt if you have a laptop gpu (ive only tested on a 3060 laptop)

[thorn roost]

I see.

[clear hawk]

just follow this guide https://steamcommunity.com/app/3017860/discussions/0/560246171171319914/

[thorn roost]

Thank you!!

I literally just updated my gpu and thought that was good enough but I was wrong lol.

[sudden pine]

I need some help, I’m on Xbox series X and it won’t allow the game to go past the “Press @ to start” screen What’s wrong?

[torn elm]

welp, looks like i caught the shit for it

[fresh kernel]

aint no way my brother is out here fighting the good fight 3+ days in a row, id is gonna hire you when you hit 7 days of blaming the consumer for a badly optimized product

[torn elm]

you see son? this is what they call bait

[fresh kernel]

Its not, I just think you should GENUINELY stop

People who want to like the game come here to get help with a game that has had a pretty disasterous launch, and someone coming in, yelling at those players how its their own fault is just not helping anyone

Its a mega corporation, not your or anyones friend, you shouldnt spend HOURS defending them from objectively true criticism

Labelling people who call you out arent automatically "baiting".. everyone here seems to disagree with you/dislike the things you say, you should actually listen

[ebon quail]

seems to be likely a cpu bottleneck

the intel i9 10850k is too weak for the 3070

[ebon quail]

the game is really well optimized tho, for a forced RT game its ran pretty well

even on indiana jones and the great circle, the 2060 barely reaches 60 fps

while on tda, its sometimes above 90

[torn elm]

Agreed

[tough olive]

On forbidden plains when I kill the leader for the armor upgrade it doesn’t give me it. Does anyone In here have any advice?

[ebon quail]

did it have a boss bar?

all leaders have boss bars

did all the enemies despawn?, did the leader have a shield before killing all demons?

[neon beacon]

Can someone help me about this?
Yesterday I can play doom the dark ages with 60-70 fps
But today my gpu stuck at 50% and only run 10-20 fps.

Is your charger plugged in?

[scarlet cradle]

I'm really enjoying the low end punchy sound of the shotguns, does anybody know in what frequency range they are? I want to boost them a little bit.

[sleek light]

i got my new game from nvidia
but dont know what to do next i redeemed it on bethesda website but cant find the game

[true dawn]

No it's not.

[ebon quail]

it is?

[true dawn]

I had an 11700 with a 3070 for years and it was great

They should be very similar

[ebon quail]

"was great" doesnt mean it ran the best it can

were both your cpu and gpu maxxed during gameplay?

[true dawn]

I was never bottlenecked

[true dawn]

Cpu basically never

[ebon quail]

oh really?, wonder why that is

[true dawn]

BC that cpu is more than enough for a 3070 lol

[true dawn]

These bottleneck calculators are complete trash

[ebon quail]

that is true, yeah

[ebon quail]

fair to come to that conclusion i suppose

[true dawn]

Also you have the settings wrong. You have or set to 1080p general tasks. Gaming is a GPU heavy task

[ebon quail]

alright, i was wrong, the 3070 works great with the 10850k

[true dawn]

Only time my cpu ever maxed out was running cod at minimal settings for maximum fps

[ebon quail]

but yes the website states it is theoretical and can be off

[true dawn]

Those sites are 100% useless BS. They just make things up. I'll believe it when I see real benchmarks showing a 10850 struggling with a 3070.

[ebon quail]

problem is how do we even tell that?, since gaming is a gpu heavy task

[true dawn]

Especially if they are running 1440p, which is likely. 3070 was more of a 1440p card

[true dawn]

By just playing games and looking at cpu usage

[ebon quail]

https://youtu.be/lQIsGpwGvYs?si=7P_6itGtFQVYn2WS&t=373

not a 11700 but its close

90% gpu usage and 11% cpu usage

[true dawn]

It the exact same

[ebon quail]

alright, so would be a good comparison then

[true dawn]

F just means there's no integrated graphics, otherwise the specs are exactly the same. I don't use integrated graphics for gaming

[ebon quail]

it always seems to be the same ratio

destiny 2, max settings, 96% gpu util and 11% cpu util

[true dawn]

Yeah I told you so lol. Fornite getting maxed out and the cpu is topping out at like 20% usage lmao. Usage would be higher at lower settings, but it's pretty clear it's more than enough

[ebon quail]

to prove gaming is a gpu intensive task, which i never disagreed with?

[true dawn]

It depends on the game and your settings, but yeah an 11700 is more than enough. Upgrading from a 11850 would be literally flushing money down the toilet

[true dawn]

What

[ebon quail]

what does it prove exactly-

the gpu is nearly at 100% in all of these scenarios, while the cpu isnt breaking 30, so what does that mean?

it means gaming is gpu intensive, and how is that useful?

*for making sure both the cpu and gpu are not bottlenecked i mean

[true dawn]

It proves that an 11850, which is very similar to this cpu, is enough for a 3070 in gaming

[ebon quail]

i never said it wasnt

i did say it was bottlenecked, based off a shitty website

[true dawn]

You did though lol. He was playing tda and you said it was a cpu bottleneck and that the 11850 was too weak for a 3070

[ebon quail]

cpu bottleneck, i did not say how severe

[true dawn]

There is no cpu bottleneck there though

We just watched a video showing it never goes above 30% usage with a 3070 on high settings.

[ebon quail]

i see

well, what do you think the issue is then?

definitely not bad optimization from id software, i got 80 fps on an rtx 2060

[true dawn]

Performance is incredibly inconsistent. People are giving drastically different reports of performance

[ebon quail]

seems to be newer gpus having worse performance ironically

[true dawn]

The game is just broken asf atm

[torn elm]

As someone that has worked an currently works in tech.

Bottleneck calculators are NOT accurate, they use arbitrary bs data that is there for attention.

Bottlenecking as a whole is a stupid term and only applies if you’re wildly out of league.

E.g 3080 and 5600 or 10700k and 4080

[true dawn]

Yeah it kinda runs like dookie on my system

[torn elm]

Bottleneck calculators have no basis and are generally there for making drama. It’s the same way with sites like userbenchmark

[true dawn]

Or my poor little 11700 and 7900 xtx

[torn elm]

No it isn’t

[ebon quail]

oh my god dude i got it

i literally had this convo 5 minutes ago, i understood that bottleneck calcs are shit

[torn elm]

I was reading though sorry mb lmao

[true dawn]

I was gonna say that too. User benchmark places my GPU under the 4070 ti lmfao

That mf HATES amd

[torn elm]

Userbenchmark is extremely stupid

[ebon quail]

nah never trust userbenchmark

only places like Versus or TechnicalCity sometimes

or compare with techpowerup ig

[torn elm]

techpowerup, tomshardware

[true dawn]

I remember him malding and trashing on the ryzen 7000 series. Imagine being a reciewer unironically recommendeding 13th gen Intel over ryzen am5

[true dawn]

I know, I just said that lol. The guy who runs it is living in 2015 when amd was crap

[torn elm]

eh it depends, intel 13th and 14th gen are very good for performance

[ebon quail]

its one guy?

thats impressive how much bullshit one guy can spew

[true dawn]

That does the reviews yeah

[true dawn]

No upgrade path, a LOT of stability issues, and still worse than ryzen in performance

At least AM5 has some life in it, we already knew that Intel's socket was dead in the water

[torn elm]

its worse than ryzen's x3D series. Every intel 14th gen cpu except for a 14600k out performs the non x3D chips

but yes, no upgrade path

[true dawn]

Yeah well those are their gaming chips lol. And even then I would still recommend ryzen over Intel bc then you actually have an upgrade path

[torn elm]

yeah, i agree, it has an upgrade path till 2027, i would reccomend AMD rn aswell for longevity

[mild scarab]

how do i get the banner frame

[torn elm]

however if intel comes out with a good 16th gen cpu im gonna reccomend that too, because its upgrade path would ALSO live till 2027, the core ultra boards

[torn elm]

nitro

[mild scarab]

damn

[true dawn]

My only point is at the time it was kind of a terrible recommendation as a reviewer. You would be making it knowing about the stability issues and knowing Intel is likely to just dump the socket (which they did lol)

[true dawn]

Here's hoping. This first ultra gen has not been great.

[true dawn]

Also should add the review I'm talking about is specifically the 7800x3d

[torn elm]

its common knowledge that intel changes motherboards every 3 generations or so

[torn elm]

correct, its been really bad

[true dawn]

I know

[knotty pebble]

Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

[true dawn]

Can you send a screenshot of your graphics settings menu?

[true dawn]

Yeah, exactly what I thought

You have less than the required amount of VRAM for this game. Reduce your graphics, especially the texture pool size

[knotty pebble]

thx

[torn elm]

do the 6 gb vram fix

[true dawn]

No guarantee that will fix it, but hopefully it will. The minimum requirement for this game is 8 GB, although some people have been able to run 6 GB with few issues with a fix

[torn elm]

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

this will work most likely

[true dawn]

Thanks, I don't have it saved

[torn elm]

all good

[knotty pebble]

Yes, it really works!

Yup, it’s literally just the game itself taking it up

[true dawn]

did you mean 5/3.5?

[true dawn]

50 gb makes no sense, thats more than pretty much any gpu on the planet

[true dawn]

the mod creator is doing themselves a massive disservice with that film grain

looks absolutely horrible. it looks like its on 2.00 or 3.00 lol

[torn elm]

Yeahhh

[true dawn]

thats 5 gb, not 50 lol

[deep magnet]

Oh whoops 🥲

[true dawn]

but you can still possibly run the game, try the config file mecat posted above

[deep magnet]

I did

[true dawn]

looks like this guy has an even worse gpu and got good results

[true dawn]

are you sure youre doing it right? its says its failing

[deep magnet]

Yeah I followed the steps exactly

[true dawn]

you put the config files in the same folder as the EXE for the game?

[deep magnet]

Yeah it said to put it in the base folder for the game

[true dawn]

how about you try closing the game, putting "+exec low.cfg" in your launch options and relaunching?

[deep magnet]

How would I do that since I got the game through gamepass

[true dawn]

this person said they tried this with doom 3, so it should work no issues seeing as its the same (heavily updated) engine

[deep magnet]

Uhhhhh I am very lost on where I'm supposed to add those edits

well i see the texts but not exactly sure what I'm changing it to

[terse snow]

hey maybe anyone can help me or stumbled over the same problem. my fps ingame is capped at 120, no matter which kind of frame gen i choose with DLSS or even MFG. i changed nothing in nvidia app or control centre and in other games i have no such problems. weird part, first day after installation it worked and i got to around 170fps with x4 frame gen, now as is said its capped. i am on rtx5090+ ryzen 7 9800x3d. maybe anyone has an idea or hint to fix

[burnt timber]

turn off vsync in game

[brisk glacier]

any idea why i cant connect my bethesda account to the game

like it says connecting but it just dont do it

[tough olive]

It had a health bar and the demons despawned after I killed it. I got through the animation and didn’t receive the upgrade and I restarted my pc and game

[torn elm]

If your using MSI afterburner to view fps then it might be your RTSS enabling async

[lean herald]

Did it also crash for someone else in chapter 21 dark ages just like for us?https://steamcommunity.com/app/3017860/discussions/0/560246339316833270/

[true dawn]

yeah i had a really nasty crash on ch21, and some performance issues as well

runs even worse than the starting level or seige 1

[ancient dirge]

is anyone else having trouble logging into their bethesda account on the game cause i'm logged in as oblongrangler59496 and i have never seen this account before and idk how to change it

i’ve tried contacting customer support but they just tell me to log into the account and disconnect it from the xbox account but i have no access to this random account i’m logged into

idk what to do at this point cause i can’t claim any reward or anything

[lean herald]

Is there any fix? Cuz it won't launch at all

[true dawn]

idk it crashed my whole pc and after i restarted it didnt crash again

[lean herald]

Lucky you 💔

It keeps crashing everytime I try to launch the saved file

[true dawn]

you on most recent drivers

[lean herald]

Yeah on amd

[true dawn]

was my next question. Im amd aswell

[lean herald]

I have a rx 7800 xt and 5600x cpu

[torn elm]

You should be capable

[deep magnet]

@true dawn

[true dawn]

sorry but i dont use gamepass

i have no idea

[glacial crypt]

Hey so I got the last health upgrade in TDA and it isn’t showing as collected

[olive geyser]

people complaining about ray tracing being a requirement is hilarious
gpus support rt for years now
why would devs spend ages baking in lighting just so people with 7 year old hardware can play the game

[torn elm]

Love the classic look btw. But it might just be a visual bug

[glacial crypt]

Oh no it isn’t it’s a UI option

[torn elm]

“I don’t like forced rt”

“Why”

“Because it lowers fps”

“The game still matches minimum spec gpus from the eternal age. Min spec then matches min spec now, just with better graphics”

“Lalalala I can’t hear you”

[torn elm]

Ikik, I’m just saying I like your choice. The health thing might be a visual
Bug

[olive geyser]

literally any setting lowers fps
disable everything then lmao

i dont understand those people

[glacial crypt]

Personally I’m not a fan of it, not because I can’t run it well on my 3070ti, I just want more frames when it comes to something fast pasted like doom

But that’s just me and I’m still having a great time with it

[torn elm]

That’s okay, that’s your opinion.

But just keep in mind that the game runs according to the time. A 1080 ran doom eternal similarly to how your GPU runs TDA

[formal blaze]

I don't know if this is the right channel but I desperately need help, I'm messing around with the console in 2016 and just unbinded the dossier and pause menu and I can't figure out how to get it back

[glacial crypt]

Pretty much

[torn elm]

Technology is gonna progress. I don’t want my games looking 5 years old

[olive geyser]

yeah

[torn elm]

Uhhhhhh

[glacial crypt]

I mean doom eternal still looks great

[olive geyser]

back in the day if you had old hardware you had to play on lower settings which looked MUCH worse than ultra
or the game just refused to launch lmao
now people expect their 7 year old hardware to run everything that comes out on ultra 60+ fps native res

[torn elm]

It does look great, even 2016 does. It’s just that TDA looks a lot better

[olive geyser]

god bless the people cooking the id tech engine

2016 and eternal even run on the switch

[torn elm]

Well. Eternal runs like shit on the switch but yeah

[olive geyser]

i mean
i had nearly 300h on the switch

yeah im a masochist
i know

played so much doom that one of the sticks just died

[tidal goblet]

This launch has been pretty strange. There are a lot of issues with the game sure, but the amount of people that have come in here expecting a million frames with hella old gear is crazy

[torn elm]

Jesus

[olive geyser]

had 90h in 2016 on the switch on top of that

[torn elm]

They have the “my new hardware ran great on a half a decade old game, why can’t it run the same on a AAA modern game”

[olive geyser]

this game literally has some of the best performance you can get in a AAA game with rt

[tidal goblet]

Yep, and I can't say anything about it or else I get the "every game is a unoptimized POS" speech

[olive geyser]

i had 0 stuttering
thats so refreshing
and the levels take 2 seconds to load
thats crazy

[hasty sierra]

Tbf, for the level loading thing, it doesn't need to load in the lighting

which that alone is a good chunk of data

[torn elm]

Don’t be afraid to speak your mind my guy, they can have their opinions and you can too

[olive geyser]

the game feels crazy smooth after oblivion remastered 💀

[olive geyser]

oh true
didnt think about that

[torn elm]

Optimization at its finest

[hasty sierra]

Yeah. Most other games with RT have it as an option, which means the levels still need to load in that baked lighting for people who don't have RT enabled

TDA having RT as the only option means that data just doesn't need to exist

[olive geyser]

0 stutter
no visible shader compilation
and good perfrormance

[olive geyser]

yeah ik
i just kinda forgot about that lmao

[torn elm]

I hope it becomes the meta. Especially with the amazing dlss 4 model and hopefully FSR 4 being implemented

[olive geyser]

fsr4 might take a while
it doesnt support vulkan iirc

which is a bummer

so i used xess instead

[torn elm]

The game doesn’t use Vulcan anymore, it’s on Dx12

[olive geyser]

uh

wrong
its on vulkan

[torn elm]

Right sorry I got it confused

[olive geyser]

dw

so yeah
fsr4 might take a while
tried optiscaler but it doesnt let me use fsr 4

so i just played with xess
still looks good

[glacial crypt]

Going from oblivion remastered to this feels insane

[torn elm]

Yeahhh

The oblivion remaster feels kinda…eh. It doesn’t look very good either

[olive geyser]

i opened oblivion like an hour ago
the performance is so ass bruh

[glacial crypt]

I liked it

[olive geyser]

very cpu limited for no reason
its crazy

[torn elm]

That’s kewl

[glacial crypt]

Shivering isles was legitimately beautiful

[olive geyser]

damn i need to get there

im just too busy doing random quests

[somber heath]

remaster is good i like it

[strange shard]

guys! i need your help! since 5 days im trying to play the game, i have massive issues with fps but i think i found the problem!:
RESOLUTION
I resintalled steam, windows and everything, but i think my graphic settings are fucked up somehow.
my display HAS NO 256x1440 so i think something does not reload properly.

Q: Does anyone know how i can force resolution or change the "selected Resolution" setting in a config?

[fading drum]

hi can someone help me with the perfomance of the game in ultra perf i m getting around 50 to 60 fps with big drops with a nvidia 3060 and ryzen 7800X3D

[sharp creek]

Anyone know how to fix the constant crashing on pc yet? I disabled the integrated graphics like bethesda said and it didn't do anything. I only just now managed to beat the first mission because the crashing

[fresh kernel]

should i downgrade to the previous nvidia drivers for better performance? some people say the newest drivers ruin the game

[vernal pine]

Hi, I replied to you in a private message

[acoustic bloom]

I'll look at it there, I'm studying now.

[novel remnant]

Yep, I'm hardstuck and tried everything suggested. there's a reddit thread on it happening on PS5 as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/1kpb76r/doom_the_dark_ages_on_ps5_crashing_on_finale/ . Also a steam thread here too https://steamcommunity.com/app/3017860/discussions/0/599652477751574534/#c560246171171308258 , theres a few

[lean herald]

Shit I hope my save can be saved some how

[novel remnant]

same, I 100 %'d everything before it on nightmare =\

[vernal pine]

Make sure that in Windows Settings > System > Display, the resolution is set to 1920x1080p — that's the native resolution of your monitor according to your screenshot, Also check if you can select 1920x1080 in the in-game settings

[strange shard]

both are set to 1920x1080 but idk, does anyone else have something like that in the console when opening the game?
my screen doesnt even support this res. (2560x1440)

[vale nova]

Anyone else having issues getting into the game? The main menu pops up and it says to “Press A to start” and it won’t let me through. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading but the issue persists

[low trellis]

Bugsplat xbox launch error how to fix

[ancient current]

FSR4 doesn't support vulkan

[acoustic bloom]

all in mínimum

4 vram... hell yeah

look like real shit but is playble

its feels like play the first doom... you can sense the pixels

[acoustic bloom]

I don't know what button to press but activate this, does anyone know how to deactivate it?

[crimson osprey]

this one

[acoustic bloom]

Thanks

[south acorn]

are specifically the superweapon flame particles and impaler particles blurry to anyone else? how do i fix this?

[worthy drift]

maybe I didn't put the files in the right folder because it's not working for me

I put them in the folder where doomtda is hosted but I don't see any change.

[olive geyser]

Yeah I'm aware

[fresh kernel]

Its not okay, them lying to consumers is unacceptable and so is the awful optimization the game has.

[true dawn]

Awful? no its not lol.

Its full RT and yet runs better than a lot of other fully raster AAA games. the game is quite well optimized

[sharp scarab]

before i used fsr 3 FG, my fps was 50 and by far this 50 fps is the smoothest 50 fps I've ever seen in my life, used fsr 3 FG for extra frames just, it's well optimized, runs even better with upscalers

[true dawn]

okay, now calling it the "smoothest 50 fps" is glazing lol. 50 fps is 50 fps

[sharp scarab]

i mean by 50 fps it still feels smooth, I'm not saying it's best sh!t out there, but just saying playable with 50 frames

[fresh kernel]

It really is though, lower end pc's that could easily run eternal at max struggle to run this game on low, and it does not look good enough to justify that

Mandatory ray tracing should be a crime.

[true dawn]

5 years and a whole console generation different

[maiden loom]

Downloaded Doom TDA game today through game pass and whenever I boot the game up it freezes at this exact moment everytime. I have a 5070ti and the latest drivers installed as well. Funnily enough I tried doom eternal as well and it has the same problem, but other games work fine. Can someone help me out?

[true dawn]

rt is the future dude, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

[sharp scarab]

use DDU and roll back to old drivers (find what's best for you)

[maiden loom]

Which driver version would you recommend/is the most stable?

[sharp scarab]

I would've recommended 566.36 which I'm using and running game fine, but 50xx can't use them old drivers, so i would recommend testing out one by one, not many of them tho

[fresh kernel]

And? TDA does not look better if running on medium vs eternal on max settings, yet it has awful framerates

[fresh kernel]

RT is a dumb gimmick. Its not ready, its not even CLOSE to ready. It rips out 60% of your framerate.

[maiden loom]

But I have the same problem in doom eternal so is it the drivers?

[true dawn]

not true.

[sharp scarab]

well, I've helped countless amount of people by just telling them to roll back to old drivers and worked for them, so yes iirc it's driver problem

[sharp scarab]

if you found stable version for yourself, stick to it, until nvidia fixes 50xx problems

[true dawn]

thats literally just not true lol. RT is a gimmick is such a dead obviously wrong phrase

im telling you with 1000% confidence rt will only continue to be more and more common until its the norm, and baked lighting is a thing of the past.

[fresh kernel]

Objectively true.

[true dawn]

want me to benchmark co2077 right now and prove you wrong?

[fresh kernel]

People will genuinely defend anything as long as its a brand they like💀

[true dawn]

it has nothing to do with brand. i have absolutely 0 brand loyalty

stop deflecting.

[fresh kernel]

You said eternal looks worse on max settings than what tda looks on low-medium, thats crazy work.

[true dawn]

yes it does

[fresh kernel]

And no, rt is not the future yet. Baked in lighting is objectively superior right now, rt isnt ready yet some games force it for some unexplainable reason

[true dawn]

almost any card made since rtx released can run this game

thats 4 generations and about 6 years

what gpu do you have?

strange how you keep deflecting while just ignoring everything ive said.

Im sorry you cant play the game, i really am. it sucks.
and i wish modern gpu market wasnt so damn awful, but shitting on RT for no good reason isnt the way. yes it is a significant performance hit, but so is every jump in graphical fidelity ever.

[fast violet]

I honestly don't care much for RT either

[cyan geyser]

Is a intel core i7 and 3070 good for the dark ages?

[torn elm]

depends n the i7

[somber heath]

This server is proof the games are just glorified tech demos

[burnt timber]

this server is proof you can get a headache from reading chat for 2 minutes

"RT is a gimmick" yeah man

it's been the desired endpoint since the beginning of realtime rendering

[boreal dagger]

It is a gimmick and a party trick. That's why a lot of folk see it as useless. A game can play fine w out it, no? It's only added as a "hey look it's even prettier". It's a gimmick.

[burnt timber]

man

[torn elm]

its to make your game prettier, doesnt mean screen space reflections are a gimmick? or reflections in general

[boreal dagger]

I'm not saying it's a bad thing

[torn elm]

hell you can play fortnite like its a ps1 game, something looking prettier doesnt make it a gimmick. something that IS a gimmick is nanite due to being almost literally unnoticable and also slowing your game down

[torn elm]

i know, but its not a gimmick regardless

[boreal dagger]

But there's not much of a use for it, most uses of raytracing is just. Whacking it on a pre-existing game. It's more of a party trick imo

[torn elm]

but then again, by that logic, every setting that makes a game pretty is a gimmick then? right?

[boreal dagger]

Deadass yeah, kinda

I'm not saying it's bad or it's useless, but most uses of raytracing is just using it as a party trick

I think TDA's use of raytracing is great and actually improving on something that's been oddly stagnant

[torn elm]

i agree, its a practical use

[torn elm]

games are a way to enjoy yourself and entertain yourself, if my games dont look good then honestly theres no point. Its something that enhances the experience and i think its worth it

[boreal dagger]

I agree, I too love playing pretty games, but when I see shit like portal RTX that runs worse than a potato, it just feels so gimmicky. It feels like a lot of the advertising for games are just "raytracing!! Look!!" And there's so much emphasis on graphics, I find the story or other parts of the game ends up lacking

Might just be me and my preference for visually simplistic games

[torn elm]

i do agree with you that a lot of devs use unoptimized engines with poopoo storylines and boring gameplay and use RTX as a marketing scheme to compensate. Its lazy and pretty stupid. But thats kinda always been the case, remember in the early 2000's when 3D games were starting to become more of a thing and every game regardless of how dogshit it was was like "Exelciour 3D!!!!1111!!!11". People always misuse innovation

[torn elm]

oh yah thats totally fine, we all got preferences, i prefer visually complex games

[boreal dagger]

Games like hollow knight are visually stunning, but it's not... complex like what TDA has, but hollow knight has a wonderful story and world building, something that, imo, TDA lacks

[torn elm]

really? i thought TDA's world building and story was excellent

[boreal dagger]

Tbf, hollow knight has more love due to the small team, more things to focus on, without shit getting lost in the sauce

[boreal dagger]

The worldbuilding is more reliant on stuff eternal has made, and the story, despite it being the best in the nudoom trilogy, is still flat. I love it personally, but I can acknowledge and identify that it is still flawed

Tbf, it's very nudoom to have a weak story

[torn elm]

ive played a lot of story games and tbvh, i think TDA (this is just my preference) has the perfect blend of doom and storytelling

Doom's whole shtick is gameplay, and i think if we hada GOW level story in the game it wouldnt really feel right. Its doom

[boreal dagger]

I'd like a stronger story and better character development, instead of graphics personally. Hopefully the DLC will fix this for me, given they're not gonna be building a whole ass engine again

[torn elm]

hahaha most likely not. but i do think they will build the world out more. the base game is a great nod to the previous dooms to catch us up to speed

[olive geyser]

i got curious and checked doom eternal on my pc at native 8k resolution

IT WORKS
60-65 fps with drops into the 40s when theres fire and stuff

i expected it to be at 15fps or to crash lmao

but its too much ill stick to maxed out 4k with rt and get 100+ fps

[burnt timber]

https://youtu.be/wtNrWCxuam4?t=713

[dire bridge]

Anyone knows if tda will get 6gb cpu support? I know you can bypass the terrible gi with OptiScaler but it cuts fps too much and im generally not a fan of 3rd party apps

[torn elm]

not sure, but its likely not gonna happen, especially since the game will continute to recieve updates

[molten musk]

Idk where else to talk about it but I really do like VFR I if they just added smooth turning to the base game it would have fixed SOO much of it! I just wish in the future they come back to VR and learn from their past

[true dawn]

Nanite is not a gimmick and it does not slow your game down

[torn elm]

Silent hill 2 is a pretty strong example of nanite done wrong

Stalker 2 aswell

[true dawn]

You can't really do nanite wrong? That's just games being un optimized

[torn elm]

https://youtu.be/M00DGjAP-mU?si=O0fM3Vru5KNJpvOT

[true dawn]

Are you mixing up nanite with Lumen?

[torn elm]

No, lumen is just software ray tracing

And it’s actually not too bad, it’s good in certain scenarios

[true dawn]

As long as you actually optimize your game it's great

Saves hundreds of not thousands of hours on asset creation

[torn elm]

Yes, it does, and it also reduces your cpu draw calls too.

At the expense of your GPU absolutely tanking. Memory leakages, under or over culling, no occlusion, and general fragment shader loading

I’d suggest you watch the video if you wanna look more in depth

[true dawn]

I know about the performance hit, I just don't think it's that bad in game.

And besides, nanite does more good than bad

Before ue 5 it was nearly impossible for an indie team to make an open world game that's not some voxel randomly generated type thing

Now those teams can actually afford to build levels of that scale bc of nanite. The only problem with nanite is the users. Devs who think "oh nanite will optimize it for me" and just drop 40 8k rocks in the tutorial area

[torn elm]

Which is indeed what a lot of devs do

Ideally we’ll need a photogrammetry scan. There’s too much quad overdraw in modern games. I’m not exactly sure what Id software did to make their games so optimized, but I do know they probably used some form of influence from decimas engine with virtualized shadows

[lean herald]

Is there some command or something to delete the chapter 21 save file or so in dark ages?

[low trellis]

Is this game just ass rn? I can't even launch others crash

[torn elm]

It worked fine for me idk

[torn elm]

I heard there’s a fix coming tomorrow or today. Also a new Nvidia driver update came out today if you care

[lean herald]

I have a amd gpu tho

[true dawn]

Are you on the newest driver? Have you tried reinstalling your driver?

[lean herald]

yeah I've tried

[lean herald]

Where did you get that information from :O

[true dawn]

I am also on amd and had relatively few issues, aside from inconsistent performance

[lean herald]

it occured on consoles too

[true dawn]

What GPU do you have? And do you have more than 16 GB ram?

[torn elm]

Just something I read

[lean herald]

7800 xt gpu, 5600x cpu and 32gigs 3200mhz ddr4 ram

[torn elm]

Fr, either were extremely lucky or everyone else is extremely unlucky

[torn elm]

The only gripe possible with this is a 6 core cpu, but you’ve beaten every other level

[lean herald]

Do you still have the source by any means

[torn elm]

I’ll try to find it

[lean herald]

thx I appreciate it

[lean herald]

I honestly don't think it's a cpu issue

since Doom generally is more of a gpu intensive game

[torn elm]

Yeah me neither, that’s why it’s super marginal, just mentioned it cause of a technicality

[torn elm]

Yeah, TDA definitely is

@lean herald tho just wanted to ask, until the fix for the level comes out. How have you been liking the game so far?

[lean herald]

Very much, I would even go as far and say it's the best doom game

We need a battle mode just like in eternal

[torn elm]

Same. It’s my personal favorite game of all time now lmao (eternal used to be my favorite)

[true dawn]

That should be more than enough. I'm sorry you're having issues

Is the game playable at least?

And is this about the last level specifically? Bc it seems to cause crashing/poor performance on amd

The only crash I had during gameplay was on that level

[torn elm]

Yeah, a tonne of other people are crashing on that level specifically for some reason

[lean herald]

yeah

I can still replay all chapters besides chapter 21 sadly

[lean herald]

Are you German by any chance? Lol

[torn elm]

Lmao what gave you that idea

[lean herald]

tonne

[true dawn]

Man that really sucks. It seems to be a universal issue with that levels performance. Maybe it was the last to be finished so they shoved it out the door? I hope you're able to finish it soon, and hope this doesn't hurt your perception of the game

[torn elm]

Haha nah, I use both metric and imperial units. Gets confusing sometimes

[true dawn]

Uk English also uses that. I'm Canadian and use ton and tonne interchangeably

[true dawn]

Canadian?

[torn elm]

Nope

[lean herald]

I'll I wait since I don't want to replay and recollect all secrets etc in the game

[torn elm]

American Asian (not the eastern kind)

[true dawn]

Really? So other countries use imperial for no reason too

[lean herald]

on nightmare difficulty

[lean herald]

Mb I thought that it's pronounced differently in every language

How did you guys manage to get the chainsaw shield in your pfp?

[torn elm]

Some do

[torn elm]

It’s a discord quest, you can try it

[vast cedar]

can anyone help me get rid of the blugsplat error

[gloomy dock]

i cant stream tda in discord on the application option anyone have that issue

[true dawn]

Turn off preset from compute

[gloomy dock]

which preset

[true dawn]

What

There's a setting called "preset from compute"

There are no presets it's just on or off

[wheat ivy]

Has someone on PC in Doom Dark Ages experienced bugs with controller when vibration is on? Like sometimes my input just breaks if I use vibration...

[gloomy dock]

gotcha thx

[clear jewel]

how can i fix this i cant change it

[cyan geyser]

Sorry for taking long to reply but its the latest generation of the i7

[torn elm]

Which is?

[cyan geyser]

Ill have too look it up i forgot

Its the 14th generation

[torn elm]

Your totally fine

[true dawn]

14th isnt the latest anymore. core ultra came out a a little while ago. but yeah you should be fine, i have an 11th gen i7 and its fine

[cyan geyser]

Alright thanks everyone

[maiden loom]

Updated to the newest drivers and getting low fps due to low gpu utilisation and power draw. Not a big techie here. Can anyone help me identify what the problem is? I don't think it's a cpu(7500f) bottleneck as none of the cores are maxed. Have the same issue in pretty much any driver version i used

[true dawn]

do you have any kind of power saving mode on?

if this is a laptop, make sure its plugged in

[maiden loom]

No i don't have a power saving mode and it's a pc albeit a sff one

[torn elm]

Have you already run DDU?

[maiden loom]

Yes I had a 6700xt before. I ran ddu in safe mode and installed the nvidia drivers

[torn elm]

It’s better to run DDU every time you update your drivers even if you have to update them from a certain nvidia Driver to another nvidia Driver just because it avoids conflicts

[lean herald]

[copper ferry]

I made a guide regarding how to fix FPS and stutter busters.

[maiden loom]

5070 ti, 1440p, UN, No upscaling

From what I've seen online, I should be getting around 80 to 90 fps

[maiden loom]

Yes I did use Ddu in safe mode before updating to the latest drivers. Also did a clean install as well

[torn elm]

man im sorry then, the game is jsut bugged as fuck then

[spare bramble]

Bro i cant either, i died in it one time and now it will not load for me

[lean herald]

during the boss fight right?

[spare bramble]

yes!!

[lean herald]

just like me brooo

fuckass glitch

[spare bramble]

right and im on my first playthrough so i havent even got to finish the game...

he had one hit left and i died and now im in a crash loop and cant do a thing

[torn elm]

Oh god

[lean herald]

yeah exact same situation just like me

[copper ferry]

I made a video guide on performance busters. Max FPS, solve stutter and crashes of any kind.
Have a look on my channel on YouTube.

Hello @everyone. Is this where I can get some troubleshooting advice from the Doom Community and perhaps their team itself? I am having trouble playing the game at all. It keeps crashing when loading the main menu. I tried a bunch of fixes. Can go into more details if this is the right place to ask/get advice. Thank you!

I am talking about Doom: The Dark Ages

[spare bramble]

So we got two completely different builds and both crashing from the same thing. i guess that means it is software and not hardware related.

[lean herald]

not at all

there are 2 steam community posts and a reddit post with the same issue

it happened to users on ps5 and xbox too, I guess we're the unlucky ones

[spare bramble]

ima do some troubleshooting then, ill let yo know if i come up with anything.

[lean herald]

Thx I appreciate that

There might be a way to delete the chapter 21 save file

not sure tho

The thing is I'm getting lower fps than expected in almost every game. I tested cyberpunk rt ultra 1440p and I got just 45 fps when I'm supposed to be getting around 60. Tested almost every game and I'm getting much lower performance than usual(20 to 30 percent lower). My gpu core clock is not exceeding like 2750 mhz, when I see the same gpu going above 2850 mhz in games in other ppls builds(yt). I thought it might be a cpu bottleneck but it turns out that none of the cores are even close to maxing out. The gpu utilisation and power draw is also quite lower( doesn't go above 200 W in a gpu intensive situation). Put the power mode in nvidia control panel and windows to favour performance and that doesn't help. I honestly don't know what the issue is. Every driver I rolled back to has the same problem. Man I just wanted to play some Doom 😭

Did you do a clean install?

I want to do the same but don't have a flash drive 😭

[lean herald]

maybe cuz you're using nvidia control panel instead of amd adrenaline

not sure tho

[maiden loom]

Why would I use Adrenaline when I have a 5070ti?

Am I doing smth wrong?

[lean herald]

i thought you had a rx 6700 xt lol

different person mb

[daring reef]

Is throw a place for bugs? Any devs from the dark ages here?

Spire of Narathul refuses to log completion of the 3rd mission “destroying hell ships”

1. Check GPU thermals

2. Check your wattage in games

3. Check your PCIe lanes in GPU Z

4. Check rebar if it’s enabled

5. Update bios and clear your CMOs

Also use HWINFO to make sure your your board power and PCIe power are going through

[maiden loom]

1. Thermals are fine, doesn't exceed 65 degrees. Power doesn't exceed 200 W, when I see that it goes to 250 and above regularly in videos.

2. Gotta do that

3. It is enabled

4. Yeah haven't updated my bios yet, it's a version behind

Not sure about the HWinfo part, can you help me out on that?

[torn elm]

Well firstly I’d say update your bios

It could legit fix the issue

[maiden loom]

Yeah imma try updating bios and reinstalling windows and see if it helps

[torn elm]

Good choice good choice

[maiden loom]

Otherwise I'm switching to 9070xt. Not gonna deal with shitty drivers

Anyways thanks y'all for your massive help 🙏

[harsh cedar]

I’ve completed what is required for the “Berserker” trophy and it doesn’t unlock. I know other people have this issue as well. Is there other workarounds to get this trophy or solutions???

[swift pike]

anyone else on series X getting crashes every 10-20 minutes from chapter 8 and beyond, only had the occasional crash once or twice per chapter but now it's almost every fight

[flint gazelle]

I figured out a fix for the chapter 21 crashing bug if you need it

[kind coral]

3080 laptop barely hitting 60 FPS most times but no crashing at least. I think we can give up on a toggle to disable ray tracing because if they designed the game with RT that means there's no form of prebaked lighting to fall back on whatsoever.

[maiden loom]

Tried everything the game still runs like dogshit

Idk if it's a hardware or driver issue

[tidal goblet]

o yeah

[lusty barn]

hey guys im trying to play dark ages and its worked fine since launch but just now its been opening from steam as a background task, and dont know how to fix

[twilit zealot]

my controller input settings dont save
any1 kno da issue?

[lean herald]

Tell me pls

[torn elm]

Non OLED USER! CRUCIFY HIM!

[true dawn]

I also dont have one, too expensive

[torn elm]

I’d say just take it to a tech shop at this point, have them look at it and try to mix and match the parts, unless you have a few pcs at home

[true dawn]

my tn still looks very good.

[torn elm]

Yeah they get pricey

[flint gazelle]

I posted it here on this steam forum: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3017860/discussions/0/560246339316833270/

[flint gazelle]

This only works for PC

[lean herald]

Love you man, funny thing is I posted there too about this issue

Will I still be able to unlock the achievements tho?

Oh nvm it doesn't disable achievements

[tidal goblet]

Had one, sucked for productivity lol

[crisp mist]

Anyone what the heck these orbs are? I see them everywhere but can't interact with them. Couldn't find anything with reverse image search either.

[boreal dagger]

Plasma.

[crisp mist]

ah makes sense, thx

[olive geyser]

Fsr redstone looks promising

Hope games will actually use it
Or it'll be easy to mod into games

Really want ray reconstruction

[torn elm]

What does that even mean

[tidal goblet]

Low PPI. And there's nothing on the market that's 32:9 that doesn't have some dumb curve like 1800R

Even the OLED G9, it sucks.

[civic quiver]

Sooo do i need a 3070 for the dark ages or will a 3060 do?

[tidal goblet]

I considered the LG 5K2K but I don't care for 4K gaming. Too much of a performance hit, I like having hella frames with my 5090 at 1440p

[tidal goblet]

You should probably look up 3060 dark ages benchmarks or gameplay on YT

[civic quiver]

Cpu requirements were bs right?

[torn elm]

1800R wtf lmao

[torn elm]

Hahaahah, my 4080 super gets 90 fps native

i just ran DSR, i do get 60 fps 4k native

[torn elm]

renders at a high resolution to avoid aliasing

it is the old DSR

i even used my alt 4k panel, it ran at 58-62 fps

just sent you an ss from tech powerup in spoiler chat

how so?

okay

DLSS and FSR are good technologies, and its very unnoticable, so i dont really care tbh

the time of native high fps is kinda fading, has been for 6 years now

cool

but then again, its not very noticable, most gamers at that pricepoint are running monitors where you can barely notice upscalers anymore so like, not much harm done

as a consumer, this feels like an overreaction

i agree on the 7900xt point, thats plain stupid

a 7900xt gets a lot lower fps than 60, so i get that

a 4080 super gets around that much tho, so yeah i dont care much personally

in some places its super expensive and in others (like where i live) it was 40 bucks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppZXJhg3puc this gpu seems to be getting 60 fps high 1440p , as it was listed on the spec sheet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zlzatw1E2vQ&t=797s here a 3080 is indeed getting 60 fps on high 1440p

both were mentioned in the spec sheet

the 6800 is literally the first link i sent, it got the performance as requested lmao

if you watch the full video, from 11;00 to 17:20 he even goes overspec on the settings, and hes in different environemtns too

on ultra nightmare settings

which as the top spec gpu at both time, whats the point

yes

same min spec btw

2060 super came out 6 years before tda

1050 ti came out 4 years before eternal

in terms of min spec age

and the amd r9 280 came out 6 years before eternal so its the same

factor in DLSS

1050 ti doesnt support DLSS, no gpu did, which is why eternal had to hold back on the graphics

eternal looked great for the time, it still looks great, but compared to TDA theres no competition honestly

what about DLSS balanced

the game looks far better than eternal though

eternal did not look miles above 2016 in my opinion

even on an oled i cant really notice too much of a difference between DLSS quality and balanced fyi, so i always play on balanced for the extra fps

its different, its better, but its not TDA - Eternal better

dlss performance looks eh, but balanced and quality are almost indistinguishable, and DLSS 4 has been out for almost 5 months now

mixed bag for sure, i agree, but regardless of that i prefer tda personally, but your free to choose whatever you prefer

theres a lot more entities present on then map, and the RT is still a part of the projectile settings + much much larger maps

And despite all that, RT Is still in the lighting of a lot more scenes

[torn elm]

Hm, i wouldn’t know then, im not exactly sure what they did for eternal

[elder flame]

Does anyone know what the most demanding level in the game is, for benchmarking?

[nocturne ember]

Does playing on ultrawide (21:9, 3440x1440) mean I get a lower fps than a regular 1440p resolution?

[torn elm]

yep

[agile minnow]

Lowkey building a new pc cause mine can't even launch the game 😭

[novel remnant]

Nick7247's a legend, his fix works and doesn't screw up progress or achievements.

[tight dawn]

Guys, does anyone know if the developers know about the problem of getting achievements on Steam in DOOM: The Dark Ages? Or maybe they already wrote somewhere that there is this error?

[lean herald]

https://youtu.be/x5DRHX8he20?feature=shared I made a video guide for this

[true dawn]

UW has 33% more pixels than regular widescreen. So, yes

[true dawn]

generally these days its cyberpunk. But once they remove denuvo and add in path tracing to doom the dark ages, i think it will become much more popular for benchmarking

[nocturne ember]

Thanks, I guess that's probably why my fps average is lower on average than most other 9070 xt users are reporting

Also is it confirmed they'll be removing denuvo eventually?

[true dawn]

technically no, but most developers remove it eventually, and they did that with eternal

[desert halo]

of course? it's more pixels

hope we get a benchmark option as well

[nocturne ember]

I just noticed that when I look around, the crosshair leaves like, a trail, is that ghosting or soem kind of vsync issue? Trying to figure out what setting is causing this

[true dawn]

do you have AFMF or some other FG on?

[nocturne ember]

I had FSR on but turning it off and it's still there

I actually went into eternal and am testing it there rn, it's there albeit a very little bit compared to TDA

for example (it's more noticable in eternal), if I very quickly pan left and right, there's a tiny clone-like trail left behind by the crosshair, it's definitely there but I can't capture it with screenshots

(I edited in ms paint to illustrate the issue)

could it be a monitor / GPU issue? I'm on a brand new 9070 I couldn't imagine that's it?

after more googling it might be monitor ghosting
