Is anyone getting weird brown type textures on some guns and some large enemies and structures? I have got everything on ultra (and tried all other settings lower down the scale) and nothing makes a difference.

Here is a screen shot so you can see what i mean - notice gun all ok but skulls and wall are not...

Help!

Install the latest drivers. Also could be SLI related. I think the newest drivers disable SLI for this game by default.
 
Looks like delayed or stalled streaming of the megatexture data - could try deleting the cache as well as testing without SLI if you are using SLI.

Could also be something stalling the storage IO pipeline i.e. running off a very slow drive or saturated system bus.

That's strange. It's probably not the same issue then. If you can get into game, enable performance metrics (max level) and check that it's listing your 980 as being used. It might also shed some light into why it's running poorly (CPU/GPU usage etc.

The game is running perfectly. Although slightly annoying, it doesn't really matter all that much about the intro videos. Thanks for the suggestions. :)
 
The I am Vega mission seems to run really poorly. As low as 29 fps :eek:

Edit - must be bugged as back over 50fps upon restart.

About the Pinkies...
and this isn't a spoiler, but does anyone else HATE the fact the yare invulnerable to frontal attacks? I died like 10 times in my playthrough - and 8 were due to bloody pinkies. One of the best moments of Doom 2 was unloading two barrels point blank into a pinkies fat gormless face and watching it split headed keel over with a gratifying thud.

Now i go through this proccess - yes, ******* process!

1) see a pinky spawn - move towards it
2) forget its invulnerable and fire rockets and shotty into its face
3) get 80% of my health removed by a charge attack
4) Try and run around its back but its already turned to face me and it charges again
5) Dead.
6) see pinkie
7) BFG it.
8) if no BFG - take damage from all other enemies while i wait for it to charge at me
9) Run around and blast it up the backside with shotty (a cowards choice!)
10) get back to enjoying murdering everything else with some style and freedom.


Its my number one hate in the game, and a big departure to what made battling them fun. Their purpose was an ammo sink, but a fun one. Now its all charging bull conquistador nonsense. They could have made a new enemy variant for such a change of attack dynamic.
 
Loving this so far but getting weird FPS drops to around 30 fps in some areas about 30 mins in outside Mars - Looking at numbers people are posting should I not be getting performance with below?

Have also updated to AMDs fixed driver - Going to hav a read see if I can find a solution

I'm using a 290X and had to drop the shadows to low (left everything else at Ultra). Might be worth a quick try before fiddling with other stuff, I realise you've got a better setup but I was told shadows seem to be a bit of an issue with AMD cards.
 
Sorted now not sure what was issue but I set V-Sync to Adaptive and set everything to ULTRA then added in nightmare and now my FPS is between 70 and 130
 
Ok got a couple of pics with my phone

Here I get a access denied message at the handprint station

This one shows where I'm trying to get to

Some of the big doors still say area in lockdown so I assume ive missed some monsters on the way?

EDIT : Sorted : on with the level :)
