Issues unresolved
"Interact with two rune trials" challenge on "Advanced Research Complex" is not beatable
- A bug may occur not allowing you to complete "Interact with two rune trials" challenge on "Advanced Research Complex" level if you didn't complete it on your first run and finished the campaign. Make sure you finished the challenge on a first-level playthrough, otherwise start a new game.[10]
Issues fixed
Sped-up/distorted audio
- Setting your audio card to play at a sample rate higher than 48000 Hz will speed up the audio and/or cause crackling/distortion.[11] Higher sample rates will result in faster speeds.
- There is no official fix for this bug.
Set your audio sample rate to 48000 Hz[citation needed] |
---|
Incorrect number of threads used
- By default, Doom detects the number of cores/threads your computer uses but may be incorrect.
Type jobs_numthreads X in the ingame console where X is the number of threads your processor supports, minus one (ie, hyper threading quad core = 8 threads - 1 for main, use +jobs_numthreads 7)[citation needed]
|
---|
Use the +jobs_numthreads X command line argument[citation needed]
|
---|
Crash on startup after switching to Vulkan API
Update drivers[12] |
---|
Turn Off Steam Overlay. Can temporalily switch to Steam for multiplayer invitations, etc.[13] |
---|
Switch back to OpenGL[14] |
---|
|
Corrupt save files
Using developer mode corrupts the save file and the game will only allow you to load again when dev-mode is enabled, which disables achievements and other features. The fix takes advantage of a menu bug that allows you to load into an empty world. Then using the restart mission option and allowing the correct map to load, your save files will be written correctly again. You lose progress on that mission but retain all collectables, etc[15] |
---|
Black gridlines/scanlines over surfaces
- Enabling Directional Occlusion causes stripe artifacts to appear on any resolutions lower than 4K, this is due to the engine's camera frustum resolution. Most noticeable when looking at plain/clean ground/wall surfaces and backgrounds.
Instructions |
---|
|
Fix low FPS and poor frame pacing
Doom's Razer Chroma integration has been known to cause low FPS and poor frame pacing[16] |
---|
|
Game freezes but sound keep going
Enable UAC first level and run DOOM as an administrator.[citation needed] |
---|
Long delay before loading the map or checkpoint
- When loading the map or reloading the checkpoint, the screen before an actual loading screen might appear even for a minute before it actually starts the loading process, resulting in seemingly long loading times even on SSD.
Switch API from Vulkan to OpenGL |
---|
Disable FPS cap from external software (e.g. NVIDIA control panel) |
