Doom Eternal

[LoadsaMoney]

A crash fest.

Yup I've had this. Bloody typical. Good, job it only cost me £26

 

[arc@css]

I've not had a crash (yet).

Spoiler

...but I am dying a lot!

Mine kicked off about drivers but after updating it was fine.

I have managed to get myself and mobs stuck in scenery though, and the little dudes sometimes stop spawning as well, which i’m told is not by design.

Not had a single crash yet. Assume those that have have followed the recommendations about updating bios and chipset drivers.

Also, far too many attachments and suit attachments things. It's a button fest.

If it were me I would open the levels way up and have doom guy run faster like classic doom, and have hit scan enemies. Basically make it doom again!

This was my worry - a bit of platforming and additional moves can add a lot but go too far and the novelty quickly wears off and gets in the way of the most intimate and ultimately most enjoyable aspects of Doom/Quake gameplay.

Same, no crashes at all running 4k/ultra nightmare

Guessing it's an issue with that YouTubers system to be honest.

Tried on my laptop, runs fine but no audio. Get audio in the initial company logos but once in game menu/game nowt . Desktop runs fine.

Has one of the best HDR config things I have seen and is glorious on the C9.

 

[Aztec2Step]

No crashes so far and it's running very smoothly (ignoring my not being able to enable HDR).

Some of the criticism being levelled at the game seems a bit daft to me but, horses for courses, I suppose!
I'm enjoying the extra difficulty that the "core gameplay loop" involves, and the platforming is just fine (the original DooM didn't have a jump button but still had some "platforming").

Are you using Bluetooth headphones?

I had the exact same issue, this solution (originally for DOOM 2016) solved the issue:

CDkeys uses Bethesda launcher, not steam. I think all keys bought, even GMG use Bethesda. As far as I can tell the only way for Steam version is by buying it for £50 on Steam

Dam, that's a real shame.

3hrs in and no crashes.

 

[IvanDobskey]

Played an hour last night, didn't see any crashes. Ran flawlessly.

Done the first two missions no crashes - latest nvidea driver. Running maxed @ 4k 60. HDR is amazing with several sliders to tweak it just how you like it, easily one of the best looking HDR games I've seen.

I tried adding +com_skipKeyPressOnLoadScreens 1 as a launch command. Does not seem to do anything? I assume it's supposed to negate the need to press A to continue once loading is complete? Yes, I'm using a controller.

Also is supposed to be hard? I've knocked to difficulty down to easy and it's still pretty tough, dying occasionally and running out of ammo, even though I'm making heavy use of the glory kills.

Use the chainsaw for ammo.

Yeah, I've found it more challenging than the first, though a couple or so hours in I started to accumulate more ammo and gradually got used to what seems to be having to remember the extra keys/buttons. It probably didn't help that I've not played Doom 2016 for about three years either.

By god this game is hard!

Oooppsss.....

Lol

Shame this game is a let down. I somewhat enjoyed the 2016 version. No chance I am buying this. Plus I have no interest in yet another launcher. Silly Bethesda!

I played 2016 for about 20mins and stopped. This is better but a bit repetitive already at least mission 3 is different. Getting a few upgrades now as well, maybe they will help.

I got the +com_skipKeyPressOnLoadScreens 1 to work by putting it directly on the .exe . Works as expected, game loads almost instantly now without having to press A to continue.

Playing on "Hurt me plenty" and that 1st slayer gate cost me several extra lives.
They really throw everything at you.
