Doom Eternal is a FPS sci-fi game made by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game is a sequel to Doom (2016) which continues the time line of the classic Doom series, and uses the newer Id Tech 7 engine.

The game was released on Steam and Bethesda.net on March 20, 2020. On the release day it was discovered that Bethesda.net copies of the game shipped with a DRM-free version of the game executable, which was subsequently removed the same day by id Software.^[1]

On May 14, 2020 Update 1 for the game added empowered demons, echelon levelling and introduced the Denuvo Anti-Cheat protection to scan and report cheaters within the battlemode multiplayer game mode.^[2] The introduced anti-cheat solution drew criticism because of its use of a kernel mode driver and introducing issues with the Proton compatibility layer for Linux players.^[3] On May 20, 2020 id Software announced they were developing an update to remove the anti-cheat protection, which released on May 27, 2020.^[4]^[5]

Doom Eternal's creative director announced that the game would not contain microtransactions on January 27, 2020.^[6] However on March 10, 2020, details of new cosmetics were released as content tied with Twitch Prime subscriptions.^[7]

On June 29, 2021 Update 6 for the game added ray traced reflections and DLSS. Many skins can be earned in-game through XP unlocks. Some skins were released as content tied with a Twitch Prime subscription until July 2020.^[8]

Mod tools have been discussed by the developer but have never been officially announced.^[9] A small modding community exists on Nexus Mods. Doom and Doom II are playable within Doom Eternal, but the WAD files are also included in the game files, and can be played externally using Doom source ports.

Steam Input

Doom Eternal supports Steam Input with Dualshock 4, Switch Pro Controller and Steam Controller.

Provides additional remapping and ability to utilize unused features like gyroscope.

Right Trigger clicks on elements highlighted by cursor, instead of acting as expected. The gameplay and the map are not affected.

If Steam Controller is turned off during gameplay, and then turned on back, it refuses to send gamepad inputs. It can be bypassed by restarting the game or making a keyboard-only configuration. Dualshock 4 is not affected.

When gamepad is active, weapon wheel accepts gamepad input only. Configurations with simultaneous input (e.g. right trackpad of Steam Controller acts like a mouse) require mode shifting.

Issues fixed

Game crashes on launch when using AMD Ryzen CPU or Nvidia GPU

Update Chipset driver for CPU^[25]

Update BIOS^[25]

Game crashes before loading to menu

Update GPU drivers^[25]

If using two AMD GPUs, plug both monitors into the primary GPU^[25]

Skip intros videos while using compatiblity mode^[14]
Go to `<path-to-game>\base\video\boot_sequence\`. Delete or rename `Boot_Sequence.bk2` to something else. Create a shortcut to `DOOMEternalx64vk.exe` and open its properties. Go to compatibility tab and run compatibility troubleshooter. Try recommended settings (Windows 8 compatibility mode) and test the program.

Game loads to a black screen when launching in full-screen mode

Update GPU drivers^[25]

Add `DOOMEternalx64vk.exe` to exceptions in your antivirus software (including Windows Defender!).^[25]^[26]

Disable one of GPUs if running SLI configuration^[27]

If using Occulus VR goggles, unplug them^[28]

Some areas of the screen are obscured by large numbers of black particles

Disable Depth of Field^[25]

Various performance issues

The widely reported performance issues caused by the Steam Overlay and Steam in-game FPS-counter were fixed in the Steam Client update from the 29th of April 2020.^[29]

Update GPU drivers^[25]

Instead of using any other form of in-game Vsync, use in-game triple buffering Vsync instead
V-sync in combination with asynchronous-compute (in game: "present from compute") can lower the framerate.^[30] Issue observed on AMD-GPU, unknown if this issue also occurs on Nvidia hardware.

Disable Vsync entirely^[13]

Game language can't be changed unless you use a launcher or change Windows language settings.

Use the `+sys_langPlatform "en"` command line argument^{[citation needed]}

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. Higher sample rates will result in faster speeds.^{[citation needed]}

Set audio sample rate to 48000 Hz^{[citation needed]}
