[nocturne ember]

I think it was the fluid motion frames setting after all

you were right, thank you, I was getting panicky lol

[true dawn]

that wouldnt show up on a screenshot lol

[true dawn]

yeah i thought so, nothing else would make sense really

[wheat portal]

How tf am I dieing?

[true dawn]

you were at 5 hp

[wheat portal]

I shouldn't take damage with shield up

[true dawn]

can you even block melee?

i thought it was only projectile

[wheat portal]

You can block anything

[tidal goblet]

Dunno if these still work but I'll be going back for more this weekend, been too busy with work fellas

Stand and Fight

[unkempt barn]

I have tried running Eternal with Ray Tracing, and barely noticed any graphical difference while it used twice the usual VRAM

So why does Dark Ages make it a requirement?!

[halcyon galleon]

@next lark The new Id Engine uses Vulkan right? How come Vulkan doesn't promote the game on their website? Do you guys have to give permission to do that?

I mean the Id Engine 8 is awesome and would be a good promotional material for making Vulkan a new industry standard

[true dawn]

I barely notice a difference in vram usage? thats bizzare. and the visual difference isnt huge for eternal, mainly noticible in the reflections. much better than without RT

[true dawn]

There are many reasons why idtech now requires RT, most of which you can hear straight from the horses mouth in the Digital Foundry interview.
The jist is that it cuts down on development time a lot, and it allows them to do some things graphically that otherwise would be impossible.

RT is 4 gens old now, the majority of PC gamers have an RT capable card, and the few that dont probably dont care about playing the latest AAA games anyway.

[true dawn]

Path tracing? they already have screenshots of it working btw

it should probably be coming in only a little while.

oh

denuvo is usually gone in less than a year

like 6 months ish

[unkempt barn]

ahh, oki
makes sense

[burnt timber]

if people claim them they could at least say so and give thanks. neither work for me

[halcyon galleon]

He said they might not work. Why are you trying to blame others!?

[fading drum]

Hello i have texte issues and some weird black forms flicking in the side of my screen when playing and have v sync off do someone knows how to fix it?

[teal thunder]

i want a pizza slayer 😄
im not from the US 😦

[true dawn]

Probably not enough vram

You have 6 right? Google doom dark ages 6gb VRAM fix and there's a steam guide. Should clear up most issues

[fading drum]

what s VRAM?

[slate brook]

💀

[fading drum]

it s on eternal and idk if vram and ram are the same if it is i have 16GB

[slate brook]

What gpu do u have

Like vram is pretty much ram for the gpu

U can just google how much does your gpu have vram

[silent nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/rtx-2080ti-gif-19907682

[fading drum]

3060

[slate brook]

Well I googled how much vram 3060 has and it said 8gb and 12gb

Like theres a 12gb and 8gb version

So dunno really whats happening

[burnt timber]

current drivers?

[remote prawn]

I bought Doom on release, but refunded it because of constant freezes. I'd still like to play, though. Can anyone tell me if the latest Nvidia drivers fix the freezes? I'm using a RTX 4070 Super.

[slate brook]

U should always have the latest drivers

So possibly it would help

[cinder spruce]

Would anyone be able to help me with account linking

I’ve been trying to fix this problem for 4 days

[remote prawn]

I've always used the latest driver, but the one that came with the release didn't work. That's why I'm asking if anyone knows if this has been fixed.

[slate brook]

Well umm I dunno

[remote prawn]

I mean, I can buy it and refund it if it freezes. I just don't want to have to download 70 GB only to find out that it doesn't work.

[slate brook]

There are other people that might be able to help more than me cause I’m not the smartest pc guy

[slate brook]

Understandaple

[desert root]

Hi folks; I've noticed id Tech 8 always balances CPU frametime to be slightly above GPU frametime, and the CPU frametime always stays slightly above GPU even if I'm on 720p low vs 1440p ultra nightmare; if it's not an integral part of the engine, are there any exposed commands or variables I could configure?
-# Originally posted in #the-dark-ages but realised this channel is more appropriate to ask for pointers.

[fading drum]

The latest so like 572.1

[torn elm]

I believe it’s mainly to do with optimization, the more load a program gives to the GPU the better it tends to run due to the GPU handling the load better.

It’s kind of like how in some games people with mid - high range GPUs sometimes see more fps in gamers when switching from 1080p to 1440p. You get more GPU utilisation and therefore your game runs better. It could be idtech’s engine prioritization GPU usage over cpu usage

[stray linden]

Message to PC players who have been having issues with Dark Ages: I noticed last night while playing the game, my PC put the app process into low priority mode. I switched the priority back to high, and my FPS went from choppy 40fps to like 90-100. BIG difference, see if your PC did the same

[tidal goblet]

I'll be getting more Doomslayer pizza codes this weekend. Keep an eye out on this channel as its the only one I can post pictures in.

[tropic dune]

Did you try rolling back to a previous driver? Afaik it’ll have a pop up when you try to launch saying you need the newest driver but there should also be a play button you can click regardless

I guess im one of the fortunate ones, im basically at minimum spec so if anything i was expecting to not be able to run the game and yet ive fared better than those with newer hardware

[remote prawn]

I updated to the latest driver upon release. After the freezes, I refunded, so I can't test anything at the moment. I want to play it, but not at any price. It should at least stop freezing. There's an even newer driver available now, dated Monday, May 19.

[stiff hazel]

Hi Good day guys i need some help please. my doom dark ages game just crashed on my pc when i enabled FSR and FRame gen. the game launcges with all the slapsh screens but cant see the game menu has anyone else had this issue on PC?

Im playing on pc xbox app i dont know how to fix this

[torpid umbra]

Yo, having a massive problem. Just bought the game updated everything on my pc. I press launch on steam, game opens I hear 1 second of the startup music then everything freezes. it can go from 1 sec to 5s before it freezes. Anyone know?^

Tried repairing files, giving steam admin perms, reinstall, re-install graphics drivers but always end the same

[stiff hazel]

what graphics card do u have

[torpid umbra]

Always freezes here 1-5s into startup

[stiff hazel]

yeah i have a RTX 3050 8gb and when i enabled FSR Frame gen game starts up with all splash screens but just hear the music playing cant see the Game menu

something is broken with FSR frame gen dono what

try running the game in administrator mode

[torpid umbra]

Same thing

[stiff hazel]

https://youtu.be/sV3MamxbUO8?si=7tGtpT1L8MVJjFfa

try this stuff in this vid out and see if any of it works

https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en-US/article/doom-the-dark-ages-troubleshooting-guide

[torpid umbra]

None worked, still the same

[true dawn]

Disable your overlays

[torpid umbra]

Even worse now actually after trying those, it just goes straight from launch to nothing

[true dawn]

And once you get in game turn off preset from compute

[torpid umbra]

All are disabled already

steam and discord both

[torn elm]

a 3050 8gb? wtf?

[stiff hazel]

Yeah ive been playing it on low settings

[torpid umbra]

Yeah can't even get the game to launch now great

[stiff hazel]

i dont know man game is full of bugs

[torpid umbra]

It shouldn't be this fucked where it's not even launchable

[stiff hazel]

im reinstalling the game on the xbox app now to see if it resolves the problem but it doenst make any sense that you have these issues

i've been using that driver since the game launched

ive only tried to help thats all

[torpid umbra]

Can't even get it to launch lmao

[stiff hazel]

i dont know what to say man with that kinda specs just weird af

[gusty mountain]

Anyone know what this is about?

[torpid umbra]

Holy i actually got into the game

[stiff hazel]

How did you get it to launch

[torpid umbra]

+r_mode -1 +r_fullscreen 0 in the launch options

Who knows for how long but I was atleast able to get into the settings

[stiff hazel]

so the fix i sent you on the yt vid actually worked

[torpid umbra]

That one didn't because it had a ton of other shit in the command

After a restart of the pc it fucked itself again, seems it's related to Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling

[fresh kernel]

is it possible to play the game without the newest patch? im on gamepass and im afraid installing it might break the stuff i modded to fix the game

would be so sad if they broke the game again with this patch...😭 playing a game shouldnt have to be this hard

[torpid umbra]

Without the dlss frame generation hardware accel game runs poorly at 40fps

[torpid umbra]

It's despite whatever setting I change it stays around 40 fps, ultra down to low graphics settings, all 40

[true dawn]

Cpu bottleneck?

[torpid umbra]

Gpu is running at 95% and cpu 25% load so nothing out of the norm for game

[flat cradle]

Hello people smarter than me, i was playing doom tda normally until today when i switched to a new cpu and now every time i try to launch the game it just says this

i feel like im hitting my head against the wall

[burnt timber]

game pass?

[flat cradle]

yes

ive tried:

• logging out from both xbox app and ms store
• veryfying doom files multiple times
• resetting ms store, doom and xbox
• moving the game to the C drive
• reinstalling the game

i should probably post this at the other channel

[desert root]

Including gyazo?

I had a history of TDA crashing whenever anything was trying to intercept or add itself to the game’s output; OBS via DXGI was my issue. Removing that solved it

[stiff hazel]

i got my game running again had to go into C:\Users\NAME\Saved Games\GAME: and i had to delete the config file that seemed to fix the issue for me

[teal thunder]

Cool 😄

[teal thunder]

Is it bad, to have that compute setting enabled?

[devout iris]

TDA is freezing completely in the second chapter of the game. Like the game runs for a while then freezes, never to recover again. The GPU usage drops to zero but the audio keeps running.

[dapper estuary]

Anyone know if there is a known issue with doom the dark ages when running mobile series gpus (particularly the 3080 m). The game runs and is locked at 22 fps with low gpu and cpu utilization (around 30%) in addition to idle temperatures and wattage (50c average and gpu pulling 60-70w rather than the rated 165w of my gpu). 16gb vram btw and 64gb of ram

[teal thunder]

hello, my nvidia app doesnt let me optimize settings for doom the dark ages (which doesnt let me use DLSS transformer model for DLSS 4 either)

does anybody have the same issue and/or knows how to solve it? i allready uninstalled the driver and app using DDU in safe mode etc etc but after a clean and fresh install of the newest driver and the nvidia app it still doesnt work... 😐

[true dawn]

are you plugged in and are you sure you arent on any kind of power saving mode?

[dapper estuary]

yes im plugged in and have no power saving mode

also mux switch is turned off

no igpu only the dgpu

[slim bolt]

Same with second chapter , I'm freezing a ton after update

[misty oxide]

Does the fog look pixelated like this sometimes for everyone?

[teal thunder]

a little bit, i've noticed this too here and there while playing, not bothering me too much for now, tho
things aren't finalized yet, there will be improvements with future updates, i guess... xD

[misty oxide]

Thanks. I've been trying to tweak settings but I think it just....is

[teal thunder]

i'm currently running on nightmare settings on a 4070 ti super and it looks great and runs great, too

but my nvidia app doesnt let me optimize doom the dark ages nor change the DLSS 4 override

so i'll just leave it at that for now

[misty oxide]

I'm on ultra nightmare everything. FSR quality. I know FSR can be a bit shit but even when I turn it off, fog is the same

[teal thunder]

having these pixels in some areas too, just as you, not bothering too much with it for now, tho

[misty oxide]

I can live with it as long as it isn't my setup causing it

[teal thunder]

it's on DLSS too

[civic quiver]

Wth is the 9060 xt?!?! How is it that cheap?

[copper solar]

I posted this in the TDA chat, but perhaps here is better - "Perhaps someone on here can help me or maybe there's something pinned. I'm on PS5 and TDA just seems super blurry/poor resolution. Is there a fix for this?"

[teal thunder]

the ryzen 4070?

[civic quiver]

No gpu

[burnt timber]

Yeah the rtx ryzen

[kind coral]

I'm hoping 2016 gets retroactively patched at some point with DLSS

I don't see ray tracing happening but surely we can get DLSS?

[burnt timber]

Would it matter? It runs insanely fast anyway

[kind coral]

It doesn't need it from a performance standpoint I'd just like to see how DLAA stacks against the game's temporal solution

[burnt timber]

Maybe when it’s time for remasters for whatever reason

[burnt timber]

path tracing in doom 2016 would go particularly hard so they'll likely at least wait until that's easy enough to run

[molten swan]

Should 3 120mm case fans be enough for an AMD RX 6800

[torn elm]

yeah

[lean herald]

I finally managed to get all the achievements

[brittle surge]

i have issues with playin tda

[hasty sierra]

Hey! At least you're getting 1300 FPS.
Okay... I think someone's had a similar issue. I suggest checking around in this channel.

I swear someone's mentioned a fix for that issue

[brittle surge]

oh aight but listen to this

+com_skipIntroVideo 1 +r_mode -1 +r_customWidth 1280 +r_customHeight 720 +r_fullscreen 0 i used this and it helped but than my game crashes when loading a level

[fossil forge]

Hey guys, would my i9 11900h be able to run the game alongside my rtx 4060?

dark ages i mean

[bleak hound]

My CPU times are consistently pretty bad in this game despite being above recommended (R7 9700x w/ 8GB 3070). I'm getting consistent ~20ms cpu frame time regardless of settings/upscaling, with not much happening in the background or any overlays enabled. 3070 always has some VRAM to spare. Anything that could help AMD CPU performance?

[viscid star]

So a lot of people can’t launch the game or it keeps crashing for them. On steam there is a fix where you add a command to the launching option.
If you are playing from xbox gamepass and upon launching the game, if you only hear the game sound but cant see the game you will need to change doom dark ages settings from nvidia control panel.
Go to nvidia control panel > manage 3d settings.
Select Program settings
My settings which fixed the bug:
Image scaling: on
Max frame rate: Off
Monitor Technology: G-Sync Compatible
Power management mode: Max performance
Preferred Refresh rate: highest
Vertical Sync: Use the 3D application setting
This should fix the error. If it doesn’t work, try to mess with other related settings. I hope this helps!

[hexed spindle]

I did these an it's forcing my resolution to be on 1920 x 1440 instead of 2560 x 1440, the only way I can have my normal res is if my refresh rate is 60 or lower

and it didn't fix my game either way

[slim bolt]

I tried the game on Xbox game pass on PC and it ran horrible withy.rtx 4080 , but I just bought the steam version and I run the game with allax settings and sharpening and film grain at 3 cause any higher looks weird but , the game will freeze here and there loading a scene , not during gameplay

[true dawn]

Getting some upgrades (prices are cad)

..Once i actually save up the money 😭

[torpid kelp]

has anyone had an issue where you cant get past the splash screen? ive been running it fine for a week but today i cant get past the splash screens. Video freezes on the load screen before the main menu. i can still move my mouse around and click on things but the video is frozen completely

[bold hearth]

yeah its showing up as a common issue today theres some fixes that seem to have worked for some people but not all, one of them is a steam command which u can scroll up to see its not that far up and the other is some nvidia control panel settings.

[torpid kelp]

that explains why i couldnt find anything online, thanks ill wait and hope theres an update. im playing with the gamepass version

[bold hearth]

okay so its a thing across multiple platforms on pc then we can at least know its not just steam or tied to nvid or amd cards its all round

[torpid kelp]

ill be patient then lol, i have a 4070ti and a ryzen 9 7950x3d if thats relevant

[bold hearth]

yeah your rig is better than mine and the issue persists and ur mixing brands. im all amd and having this issue. i think narrowing down that it isnt just amd or nvidia is good

[low sinew]

Let the console player turn off Filmgrain and make Sharpness setting work please 😦

Too much blurry on ps5, ps5pro and XSX 😦

[true dawn]

sharpness seems to be busted on PC too. although FSR sharpness works fine, and there are of course other sharpening methods

[low sinew]

I think i will drop after chap 14 and wait until they fix Sharpness setting, i will play TLOU2 and Eternal

[teal thunder]

DLSS Sharpness or regular Sharpness?

[true dawn]

no idea, i dont have dlss

[teal thunder]

what's wrong with sharpness?

[true dawn]

sharpness slider just does nothign

[teal thunder]

oh...

[true dawn]

on all platforms afaik

[teal thunder]

i see, thanks 👍🏻

[normal orbit]

i’m on xbox series x and every few hours or so my xbox would shut down completely or the game would just crash. Is there any help i could get?

[candid cape]

not sure about the 4060 however id say its ok for 60fps 1440p maybe. i use a 5070ti and my old i7 10700 and having a wonderful experience. constant 165fps at 1440p

[teal thunder]

dont forget to mention you are using 4x framegen

otherwise that CPU would be a hard bottleneck

[loud fog]

Hey, I need serious help with getting my save file working on a new steam account. Support at Bethesda.net told me to contact someone in the discord server, can you be of any help? I really need it. I used to play on a different account, now I have another, but my save file just will not work for some reason.. (doom the dark ages)

[analog flower]

[kind coral]

I played the games backwards this last week. Went from TDA, Eternal, and 2016 and I gotta say 2016 holds up incredibly well visually.

[mint relic]

your country is shaped like a moon

[ruby oak]

Does anybody know how to fix the problem where the game loads up but the title screen is blank? I tried doing what it told me to do on the faq but nothing seems to work

[hexed spindle]

Dark Ages launches fine until it gets to the main menu, then it just freezes on a black screen and I can't click on anything, I still hear the music too

started happening yesterday and I've restarted like two times already

[solid parcel]

my game is running in the background but i cant see the game i’ve tried resetting but it still wont launch properly im using xbox cloud gaming any info would be appreciated

[proven aurora]

I'm playing tda on my PS5, and when I entered chapter 17, all my weapons reseted, and I only had my shot gun. All my progress is now 25% on every level. How do I fix this bug

[deep lintel]

Any ETA on a fix for the Berserker Trophy for PS5?

[vivid charm]

im trying to join the slayers club but i dont know if i got the zombie slayer skin or not, i want to know how i can connect my nintendo switch bethesda account to the bethesda website

[bold hearth]

anyone find a fix for the frozen main menu black screen? im so sad i cant finish the game im only on the last two chapters

[molten swan]

Is upgrading to a gold PSU worth it

[bold hearth]

i dont know that this has to do specifically with tech help for doom but i mean i would say so. whats ur specs and psu now?

[molten swan]

my current PSU is a Kratos M1 550

I got this PC pre-built in 2021. It was my first gaming PC and I have not upgraded it before

[bold hearth]

are you finding any issues with ur current pc thats prompting u to upgrade?

[molten swan]

No, I'm saving to upgrade for TDA

[bold hearth]

well.. what else are you upgrading and what specs do you have

tbh i think your power supply should really rely on exactly how good your parts are gonna be

obv if youre gonna get top of the line specs then go with top of the line power supply wattage and rating

but it all depends on you. gold should honestly be fine for you for a majority of the time i never went past gold with middle of the road tier rigs and never had a problem

[molten swan]

mainly I'm looking at AMD RX 6800 and Ryzen 7 5700X

[bold hearth]

oh youre not too far off from me in that case

[molten swan]

But for that I'm also going to upgrade my CPU fan and Motherboard

[bold hearth]

holdup lemme check my rig specs to remember what psu rating i have and let you know

[molten swan]

Alright, nice

[bold hearth]

yeah im on 750w gold that should be fine for you

also just out of curiousity whats ur rig now?

[molten swan]

AMD Ryzen 5 2600, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, 8GB RAM, Biostar A320MH Motherboard, Kratos M1 550

[bold hearth]

omfg yeah dude upgrade asap. the specs u mentioned are pretty good and similar to mine. theyll run quite a lot i can usually run everything but some games that are super high demanding might struggle. overall a worthy upgrade if you have the money. and when i say struggle i mean like 30ish fps

or like 40 tbh

[molten swan]

What brand

[bold hearth]

but to give u perspective i can run TDA with no real issue besides the bug that seems to be going around that people have trouble with a frozen black screen at the main menu. my game runs actually good like solidd 60 at the very least but i dont normally check the frame counter

oh i cant send the link if i can dm you i can share the link to my pc@molten swan but i cant see the brand of power supply only the ratings

[molten swan]

oh, okay, sure you can DM me

[solid parcel]

my game is running in the background but i cant open the tab using the xbox app on pc help please

[urban violet]

how do i get the doom banner💔💔

it wont let me get it

[violet umbra]

hi everyone
guys im facing a issue in launching the game
whenever i open the game i get a white alert
does anyone know the solution for this?

[candid cape]

Hey did you purchase the game in exchange for money per chance, mod the game or even have a VPN/Anti-Virus freaking out?

Anti-tamper flippin out lmao

[violet umbra]

i download it by the game pass

the vpn is turn off as well

even the anti virus

[candid cape]

I'm messin with ya. I know you didnt' ||pirate|| it.

Anyways, this is a common message happening post update.
Now I'm not versed whatsoever in how the Xbox App stores stuff, but it seems the fix for steam is reverting the update.

[candid cape]

Same error code out in the wild

[violet umbra]

excatly

[candid cape]

Hm?

[runic path]

Hello everyone. I am having consistent freezing issues when trying to play the game on PC Game Pass. I've tried all of the fixes recommended on the help page, as well as a bunch of other stuff that I found online. What I have not yet tried is rolling back the GPU drivers, could this help? Also, I am currently running Windows 10, would an update to Windows 11 potentially offer a fix? I really just want to play, appreciate if anyone can offer some help!

[violet umbra]

thats the error that i receive

[candid cape]

Ah, yeah I get ya.
Perhaps look into "Reverting Updates" on Xbox App.

[candid cape]

Windows 11's newest update dinked around with the Steam Version for me, and I had to revert it to make it run.

I'd maybe wait to try W11 just yet

[runic path]

Thanks for the heads up. Would you have any other suggestions?

[candid cape]

I don't use the app, but what I've seen frequently (take it with a grain of salt);

*undervolting the GPU

*You can try and verify game files through windows:
Go to "apps & features" or "add or remove programs" in settings or use the search.
Scroll down to your game, left click on it, hit advanced options (underneath the title on the left).
Scroll down, under "Reset" there should be a repair, or you can reset it if you have data you don't mind losing in the game.

*Ensure you have enough airflow in your case. Try taking the side panel off and point a deskfan into it.

*Ensure you meet minimum power supply requirements for your gpu.

*Try installing to a different drive.

*Run memtest to check for bad RAM

*Update motherboard bios

A fix from Doom eternal that apparently worked in Dark ages;
Async compute/Present from compute ingame setting to OFF

In Win10/11 graphics settings (System>Display>Graphics>Default graphics settings) - Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling to OFF

That's all just basically a compile of peoples trouble shooting, so obv I can't gauruntee any of it works - but freezing is apparently super common on that version of dark ages.

[runic path]

Appreciate the help!

[candid cape]

No problem!
(obviously some of it like updating mb bios is likely not the issue, but it's just everything I found)

[patent idol]

The game keeps freezing at the loading screen. I can only move my mouse and hear the music that’s it

[violet umbra]

i gave up man..nothings wrongs..

[thin crown]

this has been the case for me for 3 days and no fix works so ye

[desert root]

Can someone help me understand how id Tech 8 manages CPU/GPU demand? I'm perplexed as to my 4070 Ti Super periodically jumping from ~20% to ~90% during gameplay, whereas my 5800X3D CPU is ~50%-70% for all cores when playing.

Is the engine padding out performance demands so that frametimes remain consistent? frametimes seem to directly correlate with game resolution more than it does graphics settings, despite the conservative utilisation for the majority of the gameplay.

Also I'm not sure how to remove the 1 queued frame because id Tech 8 seems to have an inherent 1 frame input latency (Even with Reflex, G-Sync, ULLM etc) which is exaggerated when frame rate goes lower; disabling all user-exposed temporal systems does not help with this either

Present mode is also confirmed to be Hardware Flipping as opposed to Composed Flipping; I really have been doing my diligence to ensure I look into this correctly, but unless anyone else knows I'm just stuck to believe it's an engine thing.
Even using r_swapInterval -1 and acquiring exclusive fullscreen still has that inherent latency.

[hallow fern]

Two bugs I found, a corrupted 2016 file and skipped a whole section in eternal (ignore the cheats, it was a long day)

Guys any idea what this error means? Finally got some free time to play some doom this memorial day weekend and denuvo throws this error. Cant play the game I kept my game pass subscription for, absolutely brilliant.

[neat dune]

anyone know how to fix my dark ages being a black screen whenever i try launch it and play it

[tawdry schooner]

So I haven't been able to get past the intro cutscene before the game crashes. It'll even crash at the main menu if it runs for approximately 5 minutes as well. The games crash dump utility does register the crash.

Anyone know what I can try besides driver reinstall, verify game files, or bios updates? Everything is up to date as far as I have checked.

[bold hearth]

no:( a lot of people including myself are having that issue if you find anything that works pls post here

[vague hare]

I need to talk about smth specific about the ps5 fan can someone dm who knows about those matter

[sick ocean]

Could someone help me stat-? I'm trying to stream Doom Eternal on PC and am having issues.

My drivers are updated, screen recording isn't on, and I verified the files, etc. yet the same thing happens.

I'm on a new save and whenever I get the flame belch and the upgrade & enter the portal for level two. The game freezes after the transition on a black screen, i'm in the middle of streaming right now so I could REALLY use some immediately if possible!!!
I should mention that I've played it before on PC Btw!!! This is a new save.

[bleak hound]

Fixed it and I feel very stupid now.

Make sure your GPU is in your PCIe x16 slot and not an x1.

Wait a minute…in what slot did you have your GPU seated? 😅

This must‘ve also lead to bad performance in all other games, no?

[bleak hound]

nothing i play requires it as hard as this

i guess everything else just brute forced on the x1 cause it tends to be old enough

[teal thunder]

Hmmmmm…you should see massive performance increase in basically any game now, i guess

*modern game hehe

[left crow]

Does anyone know what to do about this "Video Noise" In Dark Ages? I have turned down Film grain and all other post processing effects that may cause this and even modded some effects out with the ConsoleUnlocker from NexusMods and its -still- happening lol. Anyone know what to do about this visual noise and graininess?

Actually found a fix. Console Unlocker Mod from NexusMods and use this in the command console r_skipfog 1

[torn elm]

Sometimes it’s just how the shading is

[fresh kernel]

that shouldnt just be handwaved away, it looks awful

[torn elm]

agreed, even 2016 and eternal had this issue and it really was a fly on the wall

[fresh kernel]

shame to see TDA fail to fix so many issues that have persisted for years..

[wary mist]

After changing my display to "windowed" and exiting the game, i can no longer reach the main menu. All my drivers are updated and i face no similar problems with other games, i've looked around the troubleshooting faqs but can't seem to find a fix, this is also via pc xbox app and not steam

Also tried resetting xbox app from settings, reinstalling, factory restoring in nividia control panel

Mouse still works and i can hear options make a sound effect when hovering over them but not much else

[rain pier]

I cant even update my driver lol

But the game works fine for me

[cunning shard]

will the game just not turn on if your pc spec is not good enough? ive got an nvidia 3060 rtx ti and a intel xeon e5-2690 2.90 ghz but my game just wont launch wont even get me into the loading screen it just sends me a crash report

i feel like my processor might be too weak but im not sure

[buoyant dune]

What mouse would be best for Doom Eternal? Specifically one with keys on the side that I can use for quick swapping

[swift pike]

dark ages keeps crashing while trying to redo chapters for all secrets is there a way to continue it from the point i was at? i've had to replay chapter one 3 times so far

[teal thunder]

yeah, a good gaming mouse with bunch of thumb/sidebuttons

one of the best of all time is the logitech G502

funny how you wrote at 17:17 and i replied at 18:18 lmao

[bold hearth]

Ive been having this issue for like 4 days straight if you find a fix pls lmk if it helps to know im on AMD processor and GPU and this issue seems to persist with amd and nvidia as well as through gamepass and steam

[teal thunder]

what are your specs?

oh it's on xbox gamepass

there seem to be a whole lot of problems with that, guess you gotta go at microsofts throat for that one

[wary mist]

Damnnn i have a nividia GPU and amd CPU

But guessing from the comments i guess it is just a microsoft problem

Oh well rip to my chapter 6/22

[teal thunder]

did you try to contact microsoft, since it is literally their platform that you trying to run the game off of?

bombard them with tickets until they fix their shit 😂

[quiet finch]

Multi-threading in this game is crazy good. Reason it spikes so much is because nearby a lot of AI spawned.

[teal thunder]

what are these reading tools

[quiet finch]

System Informer & Rivatuner OSD with MSI Afterburner.

[olive geyser]

Film grain 😭

[cunning tide]

hey guys.. is there a fix for the problem , when the game doesnt start up after the photosensitive screen ? it just gets grainy and i see the cursor and sound in the background but nothing happens ... i already reinstalled and tried different drivers... im on a 4070 super

[quiet finch]

I think I remember some odd thing with Eternal being stuck on loading screens probably failing to login to bethesda or something or sync data, I think some people solved it by playing in offline mode first.

[vocal pike]

I had no problems with this game until 2 days ago. I start up and after the screen with mulit languages it would show loading and then a black screen. Today I updated my graphics and still black screen same place. I uninstalled and reinstalled....still black. Iv added +com_skipIntroVideo 1 to the launch options and im now able to start the game, but when I pick my level it freezes

[vocal pike]

im also having this issue, but steam.

[low widget]

having the exact same problem and kinda why I joined, if you have FSR or XeSS on thats whats been breaking it for me atleast, turn on TAA and it should run normally. if you got a bunch of overlays on too try turning them off, I turned every one of mine just now and its acting normal again

unless I just somehow got lucky

[vocal pike]

for me, even trying to change setting cause the game to freeze now

i guess Doom doesnt want us to play the game lol

[low widget]

you wouldnt happen to have medal would you?

if you have that or other background screen recording software disable it thats what caused my game to break

[vocal pike]

I do have that, ill try and see

[cunning shard]

For me it just won’t even let me launch the game

Screen will go black for a second and then i get a bugsplat crash report

[low widget]

make sure its disabled from system tray so its fully off

[cunning shard]

Cant even get into the menu

[low widget]

might sound weird but if on steam put this in launch options
+com_skipIntroVideo 1
skips the logos and it let me get to menus to fix

assuming its a similar problem we have

[cunning shard]

I’ve tried this one +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +r_mode -1 +r_customWidth 2560 +r_customHeight 1440 +r_fullscreen 0 and it hasn’t worked for me still won’t let me get into menu

[vocal pike]

so far turning off medal worked, can play again

[cunning shard]

I’m thinking it might be because my cpu isn’t good enough but I don’t see why it won’t even let me launch the game and see the menu

Is it possible my cpu could just literally be stopping me from launching the game ? I can run stuff like cyberpunk fine which is quite demanding

[bold hearth]

ryzen 7 5700x CPU and rx 6700xt GPU 32gb ram. yeah i guess its just anyone on windows idk if i heard anyone with this problem on console

[low widget]

might be a chance that could be causing it, dark ages has raytracing you cant turn off and your cpu might be too weak to handle that

[bold hearth]

OH MY GOSH THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THE WHOLE TIME

After like 4 days of not being able to get to the main menu i turn off medal and it works first try

[low widget]

I wonder now if its a specific setting in medal that breaks it or doom just decided to hate it all of a sudden cause it worked perfectly fine for me until today

[bold hearth]

it was for me too until friday maybe it was a medal update since that program always has some type of update

[low widget]

Probably yeah

[dusty sparrow]

anyone have ideas on how to get game to launch on steam? Windows 11
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
ASRock Taichi Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6

seems to try and launch but never pops up, i never alt tab, I have updated Drivers AMD 25.1.1

I can see it in background processes in the task manager, but never pops.

I hit play and it just does nothing - goes to background process. Clearly I have the drivers. but it says "."

[true dawn]

maybe your driver install is broken

[dusty sparrow]

installed from amd adrenaline

[true dawn]

Reinstall and while youre at it verify game files

[dusty sparrow]

I have done so

[true dawn]

does not mean it isnt broken. in fact, in my experience using geforce experience or adrenaline only increases the chance of a broken install

[dusty sparrow]

It launches but never pops up, and is in background

Definitely isn't broken

Pretty redic

[signal egret]

so... i tried out fsr 3.1 framegen on my 3080 -- the computer powerered off INSTANTLY as soon soon as a started a mission. skip crash, straight to just powered off. wtf

never seen anything like that

[dusty sparrow]

Brand new PC Built 3 weeks ago

[true dawn]

So you wont even try reinstalling drivers?

[dusty sparrow]

I did bro

im not getting the " you dont have updated drivers" error at all. It just launches as a background process

I did a full clean reinstall, and reinstlaled the game

[delicate parcel]

anyone know why I launch and it gets stuck on the penta loading

[true dawn]

Issue (Added: 5/13): Users with certain display configurations may hear game audio when launching the title but the game window is invisible.

ㄴ Resolution: Steam users can manually configure launch options to enable a valid display resolution by right-clicking on the title in the Steam library, selecting Properties, and entering the following text in the "Launch Options" section of the Properties menu: +r_mode -1 +r_fullscreen 0.

[rancid viper]

Hey! I'm trying to launch Doom: The Dark Ages but I keep getting this error (Code: e=885000058). Not sure if this is the right channel to ask, but any help would be appreciated. I've already tried verifying game files, updating GPU drivers, running the game as admin, turning off overlays (Discord, GeForce), and adding the game folder to Windows Defender exceptions — but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Thanks!

[thin crown]

its been like this for 5 days. Nothing works and we have to hope denuvo decides to fix it

[civic quiver]

7700 xt finally something with raytracing! And a 2 year warranty

[torn elm]

You upgraded GPU?

[candid cape]

This isn't doom related, but I need some help ASAP honestly;
I've lost files that are extremely important to the recycle bin because this is a shared PC. Is there any way to retrieve them once it's been emptied? Never had this happen before.

[teal thunder]

Google restore recycle bin, i‘ve found some entries that might help you

[candid cape]

Let me check that out.
I saw some software for file restoration but it looked a little shady at first.

[teal thunder]

Yeah, dont click on any shady links

I saw some microsoft forum entries and the likes, that might be helpful

[candid cape]

I just found a forum and I'm trying out this software here, found some forums on it as well. Seems legit.

[candid cape]

I appreciate the help greatly, but it seems I may be too late.

I had the weekend and memorial Day off, so the files are depreciated from the looks of it.

All of their names are wrong and nothing opens.

I am so defeated rn.

[teal thunder]

do have restoration points of your windows?

[candid cape]

I'll check. I'm not sure.
This is 2.5 years worth of work in a master file for a game I've been designing.

I literally getting emotional lmfao.

[teal thunder]

Oh noes…there must be a way to restore

[candid cape]

Checking windows restora rn

[teal thunder]

Good luck!

[candid cape]

I just had a windows update, and now this.

I can revert the windows update but nothing else. It looks like it's gone

This is like

yeah.

i don't know what to say.

I appreciate the help, hope your day goes well.

[teal thunder]

Okay, okay wait a minute, you had some files on your computer that you worked 2.5 years on and then? Did you send them to the bin by accident?

[candid cape]

my fiance shares the computer and had cleaned the desktop up a bit, deleted them in the bin.

Everything recovered by the software is named and looks like this

(Some of this is footage for my youtube channel)

[teal thunder]

Okay, but these files are not in their original state, correct?

[candid cape]

No they are not, and they will not open

[teal thunder]

This is really painful to hear/watch 😫

[candid cape]

This is the file that I need access to

[teal thunder]

You have no backup of any of these files?

[candid cape]

I had backup - some saved to the cloud. Since the windows update it had been messed up and my goal was to go fix it and carry on today.

[teal thunder]

Let me write on general real quick, maybe we can find some windows genius

[candid cape]

If you want, I'm tryina find a discord for windows tech or something.
This just isn't anything I've had to do before.

found my way to the official windows discord to see if anyone can chime in

[teal thunder]

Okay, hoping for the best, mate!

[candid cape]

Appreciate all the efforts. Got in touch with someone who confirmed the file name/size is because of an incomplete recovery and missing file meta data. The files are gone.

I'll just find help in redesigning everything I suppose. I didn't lose any of the knowledge I gained from the game, or any of the concepts. Just the leg work I suppose.

I guess production fires back up tomorrow, ey.

[teal thunder]

Damn, no luck with this one, then

[teal thunder]

Yeah, dont get discouraged, you can get everything back together!

Also: always make some backup of important work 👍🏻

[candid cape]

Hard not to get discouraged.
And I had a back up but windows and their recent updates breaking shit needs to stop. Literally reverting the update and not taking a single new one after this point.

[teal thunder]

Yeah, easier said then done

[candid cape]

I'm gonna head off.

[dusty sparrow]

I don't hear audio either, the game doesn't show up as a foreground process - only background. No visual, no audio, tnothing. I've tried that. Thanks for updating though

Posting this again incase anyone has found a fix.

Can't Launch Game. I hit launch on steam, and it launches as a background process, then nothing else happens. No audio, no visual.
ASRock Taichi Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6

seems to try and launch but never pops up, i never alt tab, I have updated Drivers AMD 25.1.1

I can see it in the background in processes but the main window never pops up. I only have 1 monitor

I have tried the methods of launching it windowed, reinstalling my drivers, etc. Have also disabled built in GPU

[signal solar]

Is anyone else having issues where doom eternal on the series x is crashing every 20-30 minutes I’ve tried uninstall and reinstall I’ve even resorted to factory resetting my console and nothings worked

[candid cape]

Sounds like a temperature problem

[crimson osprey]

I tried to cap eternal to 120 fps and now my game stutters like its at 50 fps

[normal turret]

are there more practical or functional or outright better source ports than gzdoom

[crimson osprey]

guess i cant play my favorite game anymore

[normal turret]

its my first source port for doom ive tried and I know of a few other but none that look better than gzdoom

[normal turret]

reset settings to default and quit game

[crimson osprey]

all settings?

[normal turret]

yes

try to remember what you set them to

[crimson osprey]

🫂 This solved it! (outside some lag spikes when i reach checkpoints)

[normal turret]

happy that i could help solve the game breaking issue

[frail flax]

Hi - I'm having an issue with the Switch version of Doom Eternal. I load a checkpoint and its lets me move around but without a body. I just "float" no weapons work except for the chainsaw. I've tried: restarting switch, deleting and redownloading Doom. Trying a new save slot where it works and then going back. If i try to load mastery levels in the same save slot I encounter the same issue. I'm just a floating chainsaw only man.

and if it helps - my sword HUD is loaded for some reason (can't switch weapons at all and frag/ice/belch doesn't work either)

[patent idol]

In dark ages In act 2 or whatever when you get the tutorial to throw the shield and destroy enemy shields it doesn’t register that I destroy their shield

[crimson osprey]

Nevermind. Game framerate is still broken..

And now there's screen tearing on top of it all 😭

whyyy

fine screw it. no fps cap. guess ill just deal with fast demons and a burnt out gpu

[slate flicker]

Gotta love bloatware 11. Real sorry to hear about this brother, in the future I wouldn’t rely on cloud backups and I’d definitely invest in an external drive to keep your important/sentimental stuff on. Like sanctuary said try not to get discouraged, that definitely blows though.

[empty moon]

HELP
why is there a clicking sound when i playing eternal rn, im also on ultra nightmare

[candid cape]

Hey that really means a lot man.
I appreciate it. I'll have to do my best to save up for something like that tbh. I always forget external drives exist for some reason.

Feeling a bit better than earlier, so I think by tomorrow I'll be back to working again!

[crimson osprey]

Im gonna try to reinstall the game. I've spent my whole day off trying to fix Eternal bro i stg

shouldnt be that hard to cap a games fps

[candid cape]

Depending on what it is, going to your map and rotating it, then closing it, could fix it.

I know it sounds stupid but that's one of them.

[crimson osprey]

^i think its that

[slate flicker]

Glad to hear it man, you said it yourself you didn’t lose any of the knowledge gained while working on the project, so if anything it’ll go a lot quicker working on it this time. Good luck!

[empty moon]

how am i susspoed to close it if im on ultra nightmare

@candid cape

[crimson osprey]

Whyyyy does nothing wooooork

I had 300 hours of playtime on my old rig and now I cant play anymore

It was bad enough when Dark Ages didnt work and I had to troubleshoot for 2 days. Then 2016 didnt work and I troubleshooted my own fix.

Now Eternal doesnt work.

[candid cape]

The difficulty I don't believe will effect this.
Don't close the game, close the map. like auto-map./

[empty moon]

oh my bad

[crimson osprey]

What do I do. Nothing has worked

Nothing works it just has to have screen tear or lag or fps drops or crashing or something

nothing works this game just hates my computer

And no solution on steam or reddit or bethesda support or discord or anything has done ANYTHING to help it

[candid cape]

sounds like your computer is the issue, not the games

[true dawn]

if its a brand new build, its probably some error you made while building.

[true dawn]

Are these issues ONLY in idtech games? or are you having issues elsewhere

[candid cape]

This honestly sounds like a classic case of "You didn't use DDU"

[true dawn]

could be. was also thinking a sticker or bad thermal paste application on his cpu cooler

or he didnt plug in the 8 pins to his gpu properly

daisy chained or not plugged in all the way

[candid cape]

I hope it's just the sticker lol
always such a funny mistake

[crimson osprey]

Only in Eternal.

Rig has been FLAWLESS in all other games.

[true dawn]

great

[true dawn]

Do you have any kind of overlay enabled? I find idtech often start tweaking when you have any kind of recording or overlay on

streaming on discord too

have you tried disabling "preset from compute"?

[crimson osprey]

Turned off xbox game bar, nvidia, and steam overlay. DIscord was causing issues with 2016 while streaming. Havent even tried Eternal with it

and yes

[true dawn]

Did you use DDU when installing your new gpu?

[crimson osprey]

not sure

[true dawn]

ok well if youre not sure than no.

Google DDU and follow a guide on youtube. This is what youre generally supposed to do when installing a new gpu.

then reinstall drivers and you should be good

[crimson osprey]

Feels weird id need to do that for Eternal and none of the 50 other games ive played on this thing

[true dawn]

issues from something like that dont always show up in every game

and they often present in many many ways. this is why "Did you use DDU" is such a common troubleshooting question for anything

[pure rampart]

I don't like how DLSS and FSR are presented as magic or how you should be playing games

[neat dune]

any1 figured out how to fix the black screen issue for doom dark ages

[torn elm]

Agreed, tho they’ve gotten better so ig its not all bad

[true dawn]

I miss when it was just this cool thing you can use if you want to squeeze out some more frames while losing little visual quality.
Now it seems its basically a requirement if you want 60 fps

[torn elm]

Pretty much

[pure rampart]

rumor has it that the devs of some (or most) triple A games are partnering up with GPU manufacturers to sell GPUs by making the game run worse

[fresh kernel]

kinda crazy the game has been out for this many days and there are still countless performance issues they havent hotfixed

im glad i fixed most of it on my own even though it took hours

considered waiting for the patches but man im glad i didnt i had a feeling they wouldnt be as good as they were with the previous games

would have sucked to have to rush the game in my final week of gamepass

[ornate trench]

I have a bug with getting "Berserker" achievement. I have bought all upgrades, for shield and melee, but doesn't get it. I have read in the web that it's buggy achievement, recommended to temporarily delete steam files for getting it, I did it but doesn't get it. How can I get it?
(sorry for multiposting, but I don't know what thread is more suitable for this question)

[teal thunder]

new rig?

[midnight silo]

is there anything currently that i can do to increase dark ages fps currently? (im on a 3060 12gb, average is about 60-70 with dlss performance)

[teal thunder]

@midnight silo 30 series doesnt have access to DLSS framegen but you could try FSR Upscaler + FSR framegen since you can use that even with a nvidia GPU - BUT: there's still a lot of instability with drivers etc etc, you might just end up in a permanent crash loop, so use at your own risk

might just stay with DLSS with your nvidia GPU for now and wait until further updates to the game and to the drivers

[candid cape]

I don’t like how AA is presented as magic or how you should be playing games

I remember back when AA was a new technology and no processors or gpus had the dedicated tech to handle it, and it obliterated performance. Talking a 50% drop just to use AA

[teal thunder]

i remember that, i always had Anti Aliasing permanently turned off haha

cause it massively tanked performance in just about any game

[candid cape]

It was atrocious

[true dawn]

no thats silly

not worth the bad PR

[pure rampart]

what PR LMAO

these companies don't even have good reputation and I doubt they care

[burnt timber]

it's all true, i can confirm

i asked an ouija board

[midnight silo]

what is the vram texture pool size

I have a 3060 12gb at 1440p so what should i set it

[candid cape]

Turn it up until the VRAM limit in the bottom right turns orange

Frankly, I have mine way higher than my vram limit and haven’t had an issue

[midnight silo]

I cant get it to turn orange hahaha

[candid cape]

Then turn that ish up all the way

[midnight silo]

I actually just checked it does make my frametimes a bit more choppy doing it all the way lol

[true dawn]

yeah the game is very light on vram

unless you are on 4k you wont max out 12 gb even on max settings

[teal thunder]

have you tried FSR + FSR framegen?

[strange pivot]

Hey yall ik this probably isn’t the right place to ask but would anyone here be interested in buying a pc with a 4090 and 7950x3d cpu? Selling for abt 4000$ but have a bit of wiggle room. Dm me if interested

[midnight silo]

even worse lol

[teal thunder]

worse fps with framegen?

[teal thunder]

what are the rest of the specs? 😅

[strange pivot]

64 gigs of ddr5 ram

1000 wat PSU

4tb of storage on 2 m.2 ssd’s

[teal thunder]

7950x3d thats AM5 socket, or?

[strange pivot]

Correct

Want photos? I can dm you

[midnight silo]

yep

[teal thunder]

guess, you just stick with DLSS then

[midnight silo]

bro tryna sell the evidence so the feds dont catch onto him smh

[midnight silo]

thats what ive done so far lol,

[teal thunder]

was just curious about the system as a whole

[strange pivot]

Would you be interested in purchasing?

[teal thunder]

not right now, im more than satisfied with my current rig, as i said, i was just curious

[strange pivot]

Oh alr

[teal thunder]

good luck tho, hope you find someone 👍🏻

a lot of people would gladly take a 4090

or a rig with a 4090 in it

might as well check out some tech discord servers

[teal thunder]

if the 60-70 fps dont satisfy your needs, consider upgrading to a 40 series GPU

to have access to 2x framegen

also, what is the rest of your setup?

a cheap alternative would be Lossless Scaling on steam

that's a program that gives you external framegen (through the program) for any game (it costs around 7$ or so)

[midnight silo]

i mean thats just the bare minimum for me

id obviously prefer a bit more hahaha but it works

[teal thunder]

yeah, on my old rig, i was happy with 60 fps, but after i built a new system from scratch i tasted what it's like to play games in triple digit fps and dont ever want to go back 😄

so yeah, i totally understand you, trying to get a higher fps count

[midnight silo]

yeah lol, the forced raytracing i dont like but if its the reason why we get more doom content im happy xD

[teal thunder]

the forced raytracing locks a whole lot of players out or gives them bad performance at least, i dont like that either, eventho im capable of running the game just fine

not everyone has 700 dollars lying around to upgrade to a recent gpu

just to play the new title

this topic has been discussed quite often, rightfully so but it seems to be what future games will have more and more

[midnight silo]

*forces them out for the actual launch date, since path tracing apparently is being added

[teal thunder]

i think that pathtracing will be an optional setting, tho
forcing it would be ridiculous and prolly not even possible due to legal concerns

especially in EU 😅

the update for pathtracing is coming sometime in june

[midnight silo]

im not saying about it being forced haha

im saying if they add the option the games is alot more accessible to people then

[sour cloak]

does anybody know how to fix doom the dark ages crashes on start up

[primal canyon]

quick question, anyone running the game on a 2070 with max Q design (the laptop version of the card).

what fps you getting and what settings you using?

I have everything on low and usually average around 45 to 90 (yeah the range is that big. but it's mostly consistent level to level.

[candid cape]

Sounds about right
You’re unfortunately limited by “2nd” gen ray tracing tech

[primal canyon]

Yeah that's what I was guessing, jump in requirements was massive and I didn't expect it lol. Upgrade is gonna fee fucking godlike tho.

Here's to hoping the game gets further optimized to where I at least get 10 extra frames over the next year's.

[candid cape]

Yea unfortunately 7 year old tech gonna show its age somewhere

[fast ivy]

hi everyone, I'm in need of a help in dark ages, is that I left the brightness in the default setting but I can not see anything and I can not find where I can increase the brightness, some knows something that can help me

[teal thunder]

It‘s under graphic settings called „Gamma“, if you scroll down a bit you should see it

[pseudo crag]

does anyone know how to change the games setting without going into the game cuz mine crashed right after i changed it and it keeps getting stuck in the loading screen

[candid cape]

if you're on steam,
a lot of the config files are under your User Folder, Save Games, Id software.
(Something along those lines. The ID Software Folder will have a folder for every doom game you own)

[crimson osprey]

I love owning a 4070 ti super and for eternal and doom + doom 2 to be the only two games with performance issues, very fun.

[torn elm]

16gb vram goated

[hasty sierra]

Doom 1 + 2 as a port fucking sucks, so no surprise.
Eternal has had issues with recent drivers iirc, so that could be it.

[crimson osprey]

I hope that's it. I just dont want my pc to be borked. Any word if they'll fix eternal at least?

And does Doom + Doom 2 have the Wads in there that i can move to something like GZ doom?

[hexed spindle]

it's been a whole week and TDA still doesn't get past the main menu, gets stuck on a black screen with the sound still playing. I've tried restarting and reinstalling and neither have worked

[crimson osprey]

IDs got their work cut out for them on all their games rn I guess lol

[hasty sierra]

From the mod menu? You can basically get any mod there from Doomworld or idGames.
Mainline (1, 2, Final Doom)? Yeah. Get them from the base folder and not the rerelease folder, though.
Sigil? Get them from Romero’s website.
LoR? Get the id1.wad file from the rerelease folder.

If you want a port that feels more like the official port, though, I recommend Nugget Doom

[teal thunder]

what happens if you delete these?

[teal thunder]

i have a 4070 ti super as well, what type of performance problems do you have with eternal, tho?

oh yeah, i recently played eternal just fine, that was before the release of any of the 57x drivers (the shitty ones, lol)

two months ago or so

[slate flicker]

How in the fuck do you have performance issues on doom 1 dawg 😭😭😭

You gotta figure out how sourceports work and switch to dsda or gzdoom, Bethesda port is hot ass. Just browse local files for the iwads (doom.wad and doom2.wad)

[crimson osprey]

Yeah maybe I should roll back to before the 57s

[crimson osprey]

Im blamin the bethesda ports. Idk bro.

If I turn on Vsync, the bethesda ports are playable. Game is borked or my pc is

[torpid umbra]

Y'all got any idea why

[slate flicker]

def the bethesda port. I'd highly recommend looking into DSDA Doom as a solid, faithful port

[sweet tapir]

can someone help me

please im desprate for this game to work it keeps freezing

[torpid umbra]

On startup?

[sweet tapir]

yes

can we go to a vc for this the cd is pissing me off

[torpid umbra]

Try disabling hardware accelerated gpu scheduling, turned off mine doesn't

[sweet tapir]

im not rlly a pc guy but

like everytime i start it up everything seems normal but like i would getr to the menu its all black i can see the game mouse and hear everything and click stuff but cant see

help

[sweet tapir]

idk what that is

[sweet tapir]

Didn’t work @torpid umbra

[deep portal]

Game is running terribly on a 3080, around 20fps.

[frigid cipher]

kinda sucks that you can only acess the last upate of doom 1 instead of both games

[pastel pelican]

And you said it's not changing a whole lot at 1080p? With that cpu utilisation, I'd definitely be checking out your temps and power plan setting in windows. Maybe driver bug

[deep portal]

I'm on the newest drivers from the Nvidia App, downloaded them yesterday to play this game. And it seems my power is always at high performance since it's a plugged in PC.

Ah yeah I found this which seems to be the actual selector for it and it was already on high performance.

Temp seems to be around 70 degrees on the GPU so idk if that's enough to throttle it

Do I have to mess with this?

[sweet tapir]

someone please help

[pure patrol]

70 Celcius is normal temp if you are running graphic card intensive games

[pure patrol]

you shouldn't have to

[pure patrol]

I agree with this, try updating the drivers for your cpu

[deep portal]

OK I'll look up how to do that

Didn't know you had to do that for a cpu

[pure patrol]

there should be official intel software to install it for you

yeah there is, check on their official site

and a friendly reminder, do see with a friend or trusted one that knows how to change thermal paste to do that, and check if you need to clean the fans of the cpu cooler.
Idk how long you have your pc and have done a maintenance cleaning.

[deep portal]

Uh, never. I use a pre-built and the most I've ever done is dust it out. I'm nervous to mess with it more than that. Expensive chunk of equipment.

[pure patrol]

ok, but if its been more than an year or two, its past due time you had to change that thermal paste

maybe the high temps is because of a dried paste or dust clogged fans

but that's just my 2 cents since I don't know how long you've got that pc for

at any rate, it could also be the gamepass version of the game, but im not sure

[deep portal]

Maybe. I'll working on updating the cpu drivers and if that doesn't work I'll assume it's just a gamepass issue.

[slate flicker]

Shouldn’t be the thermal compound unless his cpu is overheating

[pure patrol]

true, but again, better not take any chances, they have a pretty solid rig to lose to lack of maintenance

[slate flicker]

Also thermal compound lasts much longer than 1-2 years imo

[pure patrol]

I like changing mine every 2 years

they can last longer yeah, but idk, if I have an expensive rig, might as well take good care of it

[slate flicker]

That’s true, fair enough

[true dawn]

not even close. and also you wouldnt have bad performance all the time if that was the case, it would be good for a few seconds-minutes and then crash

[true dawn]

I replace it when i notice temps are getting bad, which basically has never happened. Before it does, its pretty much already time for an upgrade

[deep portal]

Hmm strange. In that case it really does seem to be a weird gamepass issue.

[round sable]

Just wondering is it possible to obtain source code for idtech 5 - 7? I think versions before 5 are open source. Im creating my own game engine from scratch and want to have a poke around in some other engines source code to see how things are done within the more modern industry. Idtech 5/6 specifically as Im pretty sure performance was a big part of the engine, even better with idtech 7 but I doubt that is obtainable to the public.

[hasty sierra]

It’s not.

[round sable]

figured. thought I may as well ask

I know that some studios share source code with students under a strict NDA or have a request for source system.

[true dawn]

if idtech 8 source code dropped i would drop UE immediately

[round sable]

only if, but i doubt it idtech 8 is too new

[true dawn]

and besides, bethesda has ts under lock and key

also making your own engine is pretty ambitious. Are you a game dev?

[round sable]

yep. I would think though possibly idtech 6 because its getting old now. but you just reminded me bethesda are the ones with the keys so there's no chance

[round sable]

Want to be. Been really interested in lowish level programing and graphics apis. Im also a comp sci (homeless) student so its a pretty cool learning experience.

[true dawn]

lol

You really should give it a try. UE is very accessible, and i think actually making a game or two would give you a good feeling for what you would want out of an engine

and maybe try multiple engines, unity for example

I'm a game design student myself, just finished first year. So far released 2 games. Basic prototypes/demos, but a game by the most basic definition

[round sable]

Thats mad! Yeah im yet to release a game because I get too distracted by the specifics. In reality I really should be using a game engine lol. Been thinking of godot, ive very breifly touched on UE before, and as a kid I used unity alot

[round sable]

How would you say the game design course is? been thinking about if I should change degrees to something more specific like game dev

compsci first year is haskell, its criminal 💀

[true dawn]

Im really enjoying it, but im sure it varies from school to school. Its actually game design and development, so it pretty much covers every aspect of game making

traditional art, ludology, game design, sprites, coding allat

3d modeling, which i kinda hate

I think I personally enjoy level design and enviornment design the best

[round sable]

Yeah I love level design aye, used to be big in making maps for portal 2

Might have to look into it, pretty sure my uni has a pretty solid game designs course. but im a bit worried about the job market especially in australia. idk

[pseudo crag]

is it still not working
i also have the same problem

[ebon sable]

i can't get berserker trophy its the only one i have left

[sweet tapir]

Yeah it’s not working

[proud pollen]

ik i am not the first one but is there way to play dark ages with a 5700xt ? I have the game on steam not on xbox

[candid cape]

5700XT doesn’t have raytracing hardware
There’s mods to force it on unsupported cards, but whether it’ll work or not for you is a wild card

[proud pollen]

Could you mabye send me a link to these mods

[woven star]

Hi All - I just reloaded Windows and realised that the battle.net version of the launcher does not create a cloud save of your progress - it seems that the save is stored in your local c drive 😦

[weary pivot]

doom dark ages hard crashes after about an hour of play on windows

anyone know how to fix?

[deft glade]

get better computer (this is a joke don’t get mad)

but seriously reinstall the game, remove any mods, and restart computer

[weary pivot]

I mean my CPU is i7 10700k paired w/ RTX 4070, maybe that is issue but that should at least be good for medium preset

[deft glade]

that’s not the issue then, maybe try it on lower graphics and see if it fixes it. it could be performance issues with the game itself, like memory leaks or something

idk what else could be the issue

[slate brook]

is there anyone who could help with a youtube bug where the video (when in full screen) shows instead oh the taskbar (I could give a photo about how it looks), thanks

just ping me if u wanna help

[austere helm]

Heya peeps. So just want to ask if there's any way my best mate can play dark ages on his laptop? He has a msi katana which has a 4050 inbuilt. I got it for him after some rough stuff this week to cheer him up but no luck.

[true dawn]

a 4050 m should be enough to run the game.

although it would probably be at 1080 low with dlss balanced or quality

[candid cape]

It won’t launch without the VRAM mod because it only has 4GB

[austere helm]

Im unsure if there is a way around this or not. We tried a mod from nexus mods which apparently works but no matter what we did it didn't work.

[empty surge]

Ayo. Game aint startin, givin bugsplash, i tried whole internet, may cause be 6GBVram?
dunno what else i can do except ddu

[crisp kelp]

Guys, has anyone fixed the black screen after launching the game? The sound is there, I've tried absolutely everything, but nothing helped.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG6dMagfJFY

[true dawn]

pretty sure 4050 m is 6gb

[candid cape]

Ah yeah it do be

[copper shadow]

i cant get pass the titlescreens Press ?? To Start

[floral vigil]

is there any way to bypass this? i got a NVIDA GeForce GTX 1060 6gb GPU

[sleek seal]

hello guys, how can i turn off this thing ?

[torn elm]

buying a rtx gpu works

[torn elm]

video settings : performance metrics: off

[floral vigil]

i saw like a dude who had a 6GB gpu aswell and it worked for him but he did do something to make it bypass

i dont want to spend like 200$ for a GPU just to play this game

[torn elm]

not about the vram, its about the fact that your gpu doesnt have the RT cores necessary for the projectiles and lighting in the game

[torn elm]

its a AAA game, in 2025, i mean i get you but the hardware your running is over 7 years old

[floral vigil]

i know and im sure its time to upgrade but i am sure there is a way to bypass this even if it means il play this game on like 60FPS and low settings Ingame

[torn elm]

60 fps? thats a stretch

[floral vigil]

well yea but still

i guess il either wait for a MOD to come out and bypass it or save money for a newer gpu

[torn elm]

ive heard theres a new linux project coming out to simulate rtx so you can play rtx games on a non rtx gpu

[floral vigil]

i guess il try that out

when is it out you know?

[torn elm]

im not sure but maybe in the next few months

[crisp kelp]

hi guys, when loading the game there is a black screen, what is the problem? There are sounds in the game

[true dawn]

software rtx is a thing and has been for many years. Some are already running the game on gtx cards

[torn elm]

some are, buggy as hell tho

[true dawn]

Are you on the Xbox version of the game?

[true dawn]

seems fine to me? just watched a 13 minute video

[torn elm]

the one with the 5700xt?

[true dawn]

aside from looking like playdough its alright

[true dawn]

1650

[torn elm]

really?

holy, well by all means go ahead

[true dawn]

they even get like 60-70 fps

[floral vigil]

no im on PC steam

[true dawn]

afaik there is no way to bypass the gpu check on steam. hopefully someone will make a mod for it?

[floral vigil]

hope so ig

[true dawn]

If you refund and buy it on the xbox store, its possible to bypass that release

or get game pass

[true dawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU-2cs6U3nY&t=710s

This should give you an idea how it would perform. A 1650 is quite close to a 1060 6gb. If you have the 3 gb 1060 you are SOL.

seems stable for the most part, but theres some flashing artifacts near the very end.

[floral vigil]

yea nah i seen how it would do

i just like cant even open the game lol gives me error and nothing i can do so :/

[true dawn]

Like i said just refund the game and get gamepass/buy it on the xbox store

[floral vigil]

i cant lol

it was a gift on steam so nothing i can do besides getting a new GPU or waiting for a Mod to come out and bypass this thing

[true dawn]

you can refund gifts

[floral vigil]

oh well

i dont think il get money on my steam for that or on my card

[true dawn]

it goes back to whoever gifted it.

[floral vigil]

yea i dont want that lol

[true dawn]

on their wallet or on their original purchase method, their choice

[odd plaza]

Just keep it until you upgrade your PC

Unless your one of these people that think all new games should run on a 10+ year old PC

[hazy zenith]

😍 i had to

its really nice

[hazy zenith]

how cool ..poor daisy

[torn elm]

Awww daisy

[torn elm]

More common than you think

[chilly lantern]

poor serrat as well

[winter girder]

@dark try this
Navigate to <path-to-game>\launcherData\base\configs\ and open launcher.cfg.

Set variables rgl_showAMDStartupWarning, rgl_showIntelStartupWarning and rgl_showNvidiaStartupWarning to 0.

[winter girder]

Yep, same 👍

[fresh kernel]

i didnt play for 2 days and suddenly my framerate is at 10 when its usually at 70

did some recent patch just ruin the game again or what

[fresh kernel]

tried to troubleshoot it, now the game opens with Xexx (or whatever that was called) instead of DLSS and it crashes on startup, is there a fix for this

im guessing theres no safe mode to launch in either for some unexplainable reason

[floral vigil]

Alr i will il let u know how it goes

[pastel pelican]

does anyone know a cvar/setting for changing upscaling method and/or disabling xess for TDA so it can be attempted via DOOMTheDarkAges.local for a game that fails to launch? libxess.dll rename breaks unlike fsr/dlss

[sullen pecan]

Hi there, I bought Doom tda and it keeps regularly freezing, forcing me to shut it down and restart. I set upscaling with DLSS (I hav a 4070 nvidia) but nothing changes. How can I fix this?

[floral vigil]

nah didnt work

[blissful musk]

bro i need that decor😭😭

[winter girder]

All that does is bypass the gpu check. I'm running an older driver that's stable for me, no recent driver crap, but the game would tell me to update every time I launched it.

If your game won't launch at all you might have another issue, sorry.

[floral vigil]

nah it just always gives me the error that i need a RAYTRACING gpu and 8gb atleast

[winter girder]

Yeah, sadly that's not an error, it's become a requirement.

[floral vigil]

unlucky

[merry flicker]

guys, i have some problems with DOOM: The dark ages, like
I've got stutters and lags in doom, especially with TAA Anti-aliasing, also it gets worse if i turn on the v-sync
I've got the latest drivers updated, i kind of "fixed" it with FSR and frame-generation, but it may still stutter or lag, idk what am i supposed to do, maybe my pc can't sustain this game, but it works pefectly in eternal.
My pc specs: Radeon RX 6700 XT, 32 gb ram, ryzen 5600x

[candid cape]

It’s the CPU, gotta turn some settings down and cap your framerate at 60

[modest root]

I'm the slayer 😤

[merry flicker]

Probably was thinking about it, I’ll try it, thanks.

[candid cape]

Yea unfortunately the era of 8 core cpus and RTX required is here

[merry flicker]

When I first looked at the 8 core requirements I was like:

[merry flicker]

Anyway, should I use medium or low settings?

[candid cape]

Bare minimum settings, then add stuff until you start seeing issues

[merry flicker]

Ok

Graphics on low + FSR on quality, feels a bit laggy, i guess my CPU is a bit too weak to handle the game

[candid cape]

You could check the task manager to see what’s going on

[fast violet]

Yeah. Though if it is just the cpu, the good news is drop in CPU upgrades for AM4 boards are decent and relatively cheap. Could grab a 5800XT or even 5700X3D, if available. Might need a bios update first

[hazy zenith]

DLAA so demanding ..

[true dawn]

youre on 4k, what did you expect

[hazy zenith]

150fps on quality mode

fov at max

that took some vram

[earnest rampart]

Anyone seeing slight static noise when looking at surfaces? Trying to change the options to clear out out but doesn't seem to go away

Got grain off set it to TAA and turned off scaling

[true dawn]

i mean thats not even a bad performance difference??

dlss quality is 1440p, and DLAA is 4k with some decently heavy anti aliasing

a performance loss of 150->100-110 going off your screencap is pretty much to be expected

[true dawn]

Probably just regular noise from RT. what resolution are you on and what is your gpu?

[earnest rampart]

I'm on 2560x 1440 on rtx 5080

I think so too because looking at glossy finishes I'm seeing the noise

[true dawn]

DLAA would probably help

[hazy zenith]

yea im happy how it run on dlaa

[true dawn]

Best solution is simply super resolution, Run the game at 4k downscaled to 1440

[hazy zenith]

even more demanding on cp77

[true dawn]

you have a 5080 so i have no doubt it will still crush at those settings

[hazy zenith]

cuz of path tracing

doom will have PT soon that will kill some fps

i dont see many gamers will use PT

is path tracing the future?

[earnest rampart]

I got a very old monitor for now do no 4k for me yet. Seems like the only good looking one is TAA for me. The others make it worse

[hazy zenith]

could be ur display

get a really good monitor for your 5080

im using a sony top end tv

[earnest rampart]

Yeah next pay cycle. Just bought this PC last week ahaha

[true dawn]

yes.

[true dawn]

you misunderstand, im not telling you to upgrade your monitot

just run the game at 4k and downscale to 1440

it will still be a boost in visual fidelity, particularly the exact issue you are having

[hazy zenith]

he said a very old monitor

[earnest rampart]

Sorry was responding to Optimus. But my monitor only goes up to 2k

[hazy zenith]

could be lcd

[earnest rampart]

It's an Acer predator from years ago lol

[hazy zenith]

oh ok

i would get a 4k display for 5080

thats top end gpu man

[earnest rampart]

Yeah..OLED seems to be popular but! I'm scared of burn in like my tv 😦

[true dawn]

You can still run the game at 4k....

it doesnt matter what your monitor is.

[hazy zenith]

i dont use wallpaper or show icons on my desktop

that way u dont get burn in or image burn or whatever

[earnest rampart]

You mean DSS? I know just looks so bad though ill have a play

[true dawn]

no

its called DSR. its literally 4k downscaled to a 1440 display, its a visual upgrade, not downgrade

[earnest rampart]

Yeah sorry dsr

I'll check it one sec callers!

[hazy zenith]

ive never had an oled monitor .can it have image burn?

[true dawn]

ehh. seems like a lot of hoops to go through. its very expensive, not really worth it yet unless youre very hardcore or have a lot of disposable income

[hazy zenith]

im wodenring if they use the same tech

[true dawn]

yes, its a very very common issue

[hazy zenith]

damn

[earnest rampart]

You can but depends how you use it. You have to maintain it too

[true dawn]

oled has the worst burn in of the major display technologies of today

[empty moon]

useless setting

[earnest rampart]

Any game that has a HUD and you have the brightness to Max eventually you will see the same hud on every channel you change lol

[empty moon]

5080 is trash bro

[true dawn]

spoken like someone who has never used it lmoa

[empty moon]

its worse than 4090 which is 3 years old

[hazy zenith]

no its not

[true dawn]

3rd most powerful consumer gpu on the planet btw

[empty moon]

for $1000 it is

[empty moon]

yeah and its slower than a 3 YEAR OLD gpu

[hazy zenith]

nvm him

[true dawn]

I agree the price is shit, but to complain that its worse than the 4090 is silly

[empty moon]

even tho its a 80 class

[true dawn]

a 3 year old gpu twice the price

[earnest rampart]

Mate, even if you want a 4090 no one is selling them. You have no choice..

[empty moon]

alot of people got 4090 for 1600

[earnest rampart]

And I'm not getting marked up used ones either

[empty moon]

i know, just adkowlege the choice is trash

[hazy zenith]

good luck for finding a 4090 at a good price lol

[empty moon]

its trash top buy one now, you were supssoed to buy one in 2022

[hazy zenith]

im not selling mine

[true dawn]

and a 5080 is 90% the performance. wtf is this comparison

[hazy zenith]

i'll keep it for another 3 yrs

[empty moon]

yeah thats terrible for a $1000 to be slower than the previois flag ship

[earnest rampart]

This guy came in hot lol

[hazy zenith]

who?

[earnest rampart]

Rea

[hazy zenith]

i blocked him

[true dawn]

why tf are you raging out of nowhere? nobody cares

[empty moon]

fr

[true dawn]

yeah the prices are trash, but theyve BEEN trash.

[empty moon]

i know, people should admit their 5080 is trash'

they just bit the bullet

[true dawn]

mad his pc is better than yours?

[earnest rampart]

Did you get fired from NVIDIA?

[true dawn]

cry elsewhere.

[empty moon]

nope, people just need to admit their 5080 is trash

[true dawn]

mad at nvidia so you direct that at random users for no reason

[earnest rampart]

Ok it's trash

[empty moon]

good

[true dawn]

what a loser. please make friends

[empty moon]

womp womp

[teal thunder]

Hello

I heff 4070 Ti super

It‘s very super gpu

[true dawn]

actually no, the super is a seperate gpu

[teal thunder]

👍🏻

Play Doom gaem very good

[earnest rampart]

Yeah just tried DSR still noticeable.. Ahh well

[true dawn]

did you also set the resolution in game?

you need to set the game to 4k in the game settings im pretty sure

[winter girder]

Thete are actually 4: RTX 4070, RTX 4070 Super, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4070 Ti Super

[true dawn]

that does not contradict what i said even remotely.

[true dawn]

I havent used dsr in many years, but thats how it works on my AMD card with its equivelent VSR

[winter girder]

Not contradicting, just pointing out. @teal thunder said he has a 4070 ti super, you said the super is a separate gpu. I was just pointing that there is in fact a 4070 Ti Super. Sorry if I wasn't clear, I just got off a 24 hr shift.

Shutting up and going to bed. 👍

[earnest rampart]

Yeah did that too. Can't notice much.

[true dawn]

and it doesnt fix the issue you had?

can you send a screenshot of what it looks like?

[earnest rampart]

See that slight ripple effect

Doesn't show that well on camera but bunch of pixels scrambling

[true dawn]

Yeah thats just standard RT noise

not really any way to fix it. this game has a perticularly bad case of it im afraid

I just started tuning it out

[earnest rampart]

Ah ok all good. As long as it's not me haha

[teal thunder]

That‘s water/rain

[true dawn]

it definitely isnt

[earnest rampart]

Nah it wasn't rain even noticed it in different levels/areas surface areas but it's ok

[spiral jasper]

i just started playing the doom dark ages, but screen froze mid play but my cpu core temperature was only at 50+ C while playing the game

[slate flicker]

Do you have the game downloaded to an SSD?

[pastel pelican]

Could be a driver crash. I would continue to enjoy the game, monitor your temps (GPU as well as CPU) and only worry about it if it happens repeatedly @spiral jasper

[spiral jasper]

yes

even in the opening window, i cannot click the 'start' using mouse/keyboard/controller. i had to end task

[slate flicker]

I’m not sure then, when I first played I had the game downloaded to my hard drive and that’s why I was freezing. Drivers up to date?

How about graphics drivers on Nvidia?

[spiral jasper]

anyone using nvidia? and which version is ok?

i just reinstalled the previous version

[surreal fern]

Hello everyone, I am new to the world of doom, and I would like to start Doom with the 2016 version, I bought the game however when I launch the game there is a big lag problem, it gives me a few images per second, and it freezes, and it is impossible to play, does anyone know why it does this to me and how to fix the problem? Mais composant sont une geforce rtx 2060, un processeur intel core i7 9700k, 2 ram de 8 GO ddr4 et le jeu est sur mon hdd

[candid cape]

Turn your settings down.
You’re not going to play the game at even 1080p maximum settings. Sounds like you’re hitting a VRAM limit

[spiral jasper]

ok i think its better now with the previous nvidia version 576.02, i think my games crahses started in may after the latest update

[candid cape]

Yeah nvidia drivers are almost as bad as mid 2010s AMD at the moment

[spiral jasper]

oh? im new on this pc stuff, what is good driver atm?

[candid cape]

The one you’ve got that works, just leave it for now

[torn elm]

Specially for the 50 series

[candid cape]

Yea and unfortunately it’s also affecting previous generations,
I’m still on the pre-50 series drivers on my laptop because it’s so busted

[spiral jasper]

so not recommended to get the 50 series? here i think we have 5070 in store

[candid cape]

More complicated than that but eh, if what you have works then I’d keep it. Current new GPUs are just awful value.

[torn elm]

True, unless you wanna only play mfg games or are buying a 5090 lmao

[candid cape]

If you have 5090 money, get your butler to do research idk

[torn elm]

Idk how but I got super lucky, never had any drivers issue, I’m running a high end 40 series card

[torn elm]

Real lmao, tho compared to having car repairs as a hobby pc building is really cheap. Just getting new rims can cost as much as a GPU depending on the car

[candid cape]

Lol getting the fluids flushed in my lexus cost more than a 5090

[torn elm]

Frfrfr

[spiral jasper]

nope no butler, never play steam game before until i got this pc, so i just wanted to enjoy non crahing games

thanks for advice

[true dawn]

??? That's more than enough for 2016 max settings

[ornate trench]

TDA digital artbook is an app, inside it you could see the arts. These arts are packed into big archives in TDA DA steam folder. Is it possible to extract all images from these archives as just jpg files on my hdd?

[candid cape]

6GB of vram is not
If you’re trying to max out the settings that would explain why they’re stuttering so badly
You can max out everything else but textures pretty much

[ornate trench]

I want to make some of these images my new wallpapers

[true dawn]

That's just not true. 6gb is more than enough for 2016

[true dawn]

https://youtu.be/CxVPdiI_zFM?si=MpPcLcFwdcQeu6xP
Here is the game running on max at 1080p with a 1060 3gb

[candid cape]

You can literally see the frame timing spike way up, that’s a VRAM limit

Also change shadows from ultra to high. Enormous boost just there

[true dawn]

Okay? This is a card with half the VRAM. I've played this game maxed out, and it's really not very VRAM hungry

6gb is enough.

https://youtu.be/EneYLj2MHwo?si=1LkS5VTJ22v27-RU

Here's using the same card with literally 0 stutters. VRAM is at less than 5 GB usage lmao.

This was 2016, the 10 series GPUs weren't even out yet.

[teal thunder]

i played doom 2016 on my old rig that was 32 GB of DDR 3 ram with i7 2600 and GTX 1050 ti 4 GB VRAM on a HDD in 1080p with decent graphic settings

back in 2018 or so, that game should run fine

however, maybe Doom 2016 is impacted by the recent physx change, where old games suddenly run like complete shit cause it's not supported anymore

not sure about that, tho

[true dawn]

That's only for 50 series

[teal thunder]

oh, okay, nvm then 😅

otherwise go through the standard check list, such as GPU driver, try different in game graphic settings (if you are able to reach them)

monitor GPU/CPU just so you know they are being properly utilized while running the game (download GPU-Z from techpowerup, for example)

it's a trial and error as usual 😄

[candid cape]

I must have a memory leak or some shit I’m playing it on my 4070 and it’s using 7GB

[true dawn]

Yeah... Even at 4k ultra wide I wasn't having that much usage lol. Idtech is extremely VRAM efficient

[candid cape]

A new bug to hunt down, yippee

[surreal fern]

ok thanks for the information

[teal thunder]

that's just affecting the 50 series GPUs

so that's not the problem in your case

[teal thunder]

Could you get your Doom 2016 game to run?

[pastel pelican]

I don't think this will be the case. 32 bit physx support was deprecated a looooooooong time ago so the games that force you to run in the old AMD physx mode are old, or extreme stragglers

[hardy narwhal]

still sad that I can't stream the game

[torn elm]

Still having nvenc issues?

[marble fossil]

Hello! I am running into constant crashes whenever I play Doom TDA, some times I can go over an hour without a crash, and some times I cant make it more than 5-10minutes at a time. Either the game will freeze, crash, or my entire PC will crash. I do not have this issue with any other games, Doom eternal ran just fine. Here are my specs. Any advice?

I have tried multiple different in-game settings from high quality to the lowest, with v-sync on and off.

Nvidia drivers have been causing havoc since Jan 2025, the launch of the 50 series. They have been causing issues with 50 series, 40 series, and even 30 series cards.

Have you tried installing older drivers, until you find one stable for you?

I run TDA on a 4070 Super, driver version 566.36 (Dec 2024). Zero crashes. 566.36 is the most recommended driver for 40 series cards, on many tech sites/forums, until shitvidia get their act together.

[jovial oxide]

I played it on max settings with 4GB

[marble fossil]

I havent tried this but I will, thank you!

[marble fossil]

Unfortunately my game is still crashing, thank you for the recommendation tho

Hey guys, so I was playing DOOM earlier today and my entire PC crashed. When I reopened the game, it said that my save file was corrupt. I have just enough time on this save that it would be a pain to restart. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?

[true dawn]

try verifying file integrity on the game. If that doesnt work I dont think theres much else

Aside returning to a restore point, but thats a pain and up to you if its worth it

[patent timber]

Ok, thanks for the help!

[willow inlet]

Kinda random but does anyone have game suggestions? I really like shooter games

But I play other genres

i just started playing doom eternal todey but the game is missing textures instead its like a weird rainbow lighting and crashes after playing a while anyone know a solution ?
i play on low settings with the screen set to 1600x900 and it runs fine 60 fps averege

[burnt timber]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/782330/discussions/0/3123787625597541164/ check this thread, looks like there are some custom gpu drivers that may work for you

[sleek basalt]

the guy who made the thread has almost the same specs as me

lemme check thx

it seems that i can fix it by downgrading the drivers

now imusing the latest legacy drivers so imma have to use a previous one for a while until i finish it

[crimson needle]

try verifying integrity of game files if that's not something you've done already

[sleek basalt]

im hoping that it fixes the problem cuz the game actually works fine around 60 to 70 fps averege with no stutters its just this issue

[sleek basalt]

already did its a driver issue from what i read its a glitch on legacy amd drivers and some nvidia gpus

[crimson needle]

oh ok

[sleek basalt]

im honestly new to doom i finished doom 2016 just todey and moved to eternal

doom 2016 also has some problems with old gpus even tho it runs well i could run the game on a stable 60 on medium settings

[sleek basalt]

ok i fixed the problem

it was a drivers issue i just needed to revert to an old working driver

[winged musk]

Has anyone found a solve for the DTDA vs OBS crashes?

I've tried different screen configs and closing any overlays. Every single time I switch to a scene that shows DTDA gameplay the game exe CTDs.

[cinder plume]

are there any way to activate world desaturation while keeping every thing at its original color? If I activate it then automatically every item in the game becomes blue......

[vestal swift]

you can control how strong the saturation is im pretty sure

[spark swan]

Hey guys, for some reason I can't launch Doom TDA from gamepass due to an GPU error. However I have RTX3060 and seen people with worse graphic cards able to play the game.

I tried to uninstall and install again, tried to fix the folder integrities, updated or replaced graphic card drivers but no option seems to solve it. I have been waiting for a patch and it's been almost 1 month and I don't know what to do.

[pine gale]

for vr mods it so so sad the the id-software left of optimization with doom the dark ages ....

some people cannot play it even with a graphics card that is faster than the gpu part in ps5 (or even more than in the series s) [gtx 1080ti]

and even for vr, it sucks!

here is a statement of luke ross hat mods flat games for vr...

[thin crown]

new update and still no denuvo error fix. Two weeks it has been fucking hell

[sleek basalt]

Actually what's the use of raytracing in a game where your character doesn't even stop for a single second

[torn elm]

the minimum spec gpu can run the game at max settings at 60 fps with DLSS

[torn elm]

baking lighting would have taken the dev team years to develop, we might have seen this game in 2028 or even 2030 otherwise

[torn elm]

my guy you cant compare a console to a pc lmao, different kinds of gpus and the games are optimized specifically for them

[pine gale]

this is how doom eternal run on a gtx 1080ti, a gpu that is not allowed to run doom the dark ages anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa-KugNZYoU (this is on on ultra nightmare settings)

a bit more than 60 fps without dlss 😉

[torn elm]

the 1080 ti came out 3 years before doom eternal launched

[pine gale]

that does not matter. i could run other games that come out today with the gtx 1080ti

this is just a decision that they have made ...

[torn elm]

because its a very good gpu, but technology is gonna progress, and we've had ray tracing in our gpus for 7 years now

[pine gale]

it was always outstanding how well doom 2016 and doom eternal run, even on lower hardware and now with doom the dark ages they turned it into the opposite. it is sad to see this. they could have included an option not to force this features that ares also not needed needed in eternal and 2016 but they didn't.

[torn elm]

no they couldnt, because at the time no gpus had ray tracing in 2016, and only a handful did in eternal

ray tracing capable gpus have been out for 7 years now. and even the lowest spec gpu can get 60 fps on max settings, just like a lowest spec gpu for doom eternal can get 60 fps on high settings

[pine gale]

i think you should have a look in the steam hardware charts. currently the 4th most used gpu is a gtx 1650...

the next thing, it also runs very poorly und things like steam deck and eternal run very well.

doom dark ages also scales very poorly with its graphics settings.

it is a good game but technically it is such a downfall, if you compare how good looking 2016 and eternal already and how inclusive they were even for spec systems.

they even were able to push out a switch one version that was playable and now you have this complete 180° turnaround...

no doom the darks ages runs even very, very bad on the most popular handheld the steamdeck and eternal and 2016 run exceptional well.

[torn elm]

first of all, its the only gpu in the top 10 that is not ray tracing compatible

secondly, the steam deck was released 2 years AFTER the release of doom eternal, the steam deck 2 should run tda alot better

thirdly the minimum spec requirement for TDA is actually the same in terms of year of release compared to year of release for the minimum spec requirements, matching the 7 year gap of eternal and 2016

[pine gale]

they also want 6 gig ob vram!

[torn elm]

dawg have you seen the switch run doom eternal? it runs like absolute dogshit, it looks awful and the game runs awful too

[pine gale]

rtx 3060 --> 6gb 😉 (but you could get it probably to run)

[torn elm]

which is also available in every gpu almost in the last 7 years, whats the point lmao

[pine gale]

the most popular currently used gpu has 6gb ...

[torn elm]

incorrect again! the lowest gb model for the 3060 is 8gb

and yes you can get it to run on a 6gb model

and the majority of 3060's sold today are 12 gb regardless

[pine gale]

correction on my side, the notebookversion of the 3060 has 6gb vram ...

[torn elm]

right, so in the top 12 gpus used in steam, 2 arent able to run TDA, and the only gpu that actually has less vram than minimum spec listed is a 3050, which is a VERY budget oriented gpu. that can STILL get TDA to run with a few modifications

my point is, its okay to be frustrated with certain decisions, but facts are facts, and you gotta back em up

[pine gale]

so 35% of the top 12 used gpu are below min spec,

and some even cannot start it.

it is just a poor turnaround from a very well optimized series to a very poor and exclusive titel that is not a complete resource hog but not mich better than other games + more exclusive with features it need. it is just a downfall.

[torn elm]

Yes, however those GPUs can still smoothly run TDA on high settings above 60 fps

The 1060 is LITERALLY a decade old, how do you expect it to run the newest AAA title

“Oh yeah I can’t wait to have my game look like shit and run at 15 fps”

and just for reference this was the top 10 gpus around the release of doom eternal, in which 5 of the 11 listed here are UNDER minimum spec, despite being able to run the game well, which is 45%

[torn elm]

and just to keep somthing in mind, the underspec gpus were running doom eternal at sub 50 fps at 1080p low

[true dawn]

yes and 5 of those are weaker than a 1050 ti

[torn elm]

750 ti
960
960M
940M
1050

whats the point lmao, all of those gpus are worse off and weaker than a 1050 ti, 1060, and a 1650

[pine gale]

also you have wrong numbers doom eternal release march 2020

[torn elm]

the chart i shared mentioned 2020 if im not mistaken

[pine gale]

my source is tech powerup techpowerup_com/265526/steam-hardware-survey-march-2020-intel-cpus-nvidia-graphics-cards-rising replace _ with .

[torn elm]

regardless, all those gpus can run the game at 60 fps, just like 10 out of the 12 mentioned in the current steam hardware chart

[torn elm]

mine said the same thing, maybe it was a typo

[pine gale]

no, not regardless this is important.

[torn elm]

yes regardless, you shared 10 gpus that can run the game at medium settings 60 fps, 10 out of the top 12 gpus currently can run the game at atleast 60 fps medium settings
