As always, should you need technical support relating to DOOM Eternal, please head to our support site here and select "DOOM Eternal".
Thank you!

-Update 11/10/2021-

  • Issue: Online features do not work for PC players who are playing the Steam version on Linux
  • Resolution: While DOOM Eternal isn't supported on Linux, some users have reported that they've been able to workaround this by forcing the game to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode via wine.cfg (through protontricks). Use this link for additional details. Proceed at your own risk. It is not officially supported.



-Update 11/4/2021-

  • Issue: Some users with Ray Tracing-compatible NVIDIA GPUs have reported stability and performance issues while playing with Ray Tracing and DLSS enabled on the 496.13 and 496.49 drivers. NVIDIA is aware and are actively investigating these reports
  • Resolution: Users have reported reverted to the 472.12 driver release resolves the issue. You can download them here



-Update 7/19/2021-

  • Issue: I have unlocked the Undead Droid Revenant skin and/or Poison Frog Pain Elemental Skin and noticed that the item(s) are no longer available in my customization menu since I installed Update 6. Is there anything I can do about those?
  • Resolution: We are aware that some players have reported they no longer have access to these items after they installed Update 6. We are investigating the issue and thank you for your patience until it is resolved.


-Update 7/16/2021-

  • Issue: Steam users with (supported) NVIDIA GPUs may notice performance degradation while playing DOOM Eternal with the Steam overlay enabled
  • Resolution: If you have an (supported) NVIDIA GPU and want to play DOOM Eternal with the Steam overlay enabled, disabling "Present from Compute" in the graphics settings should resolve the performance degradation. If you want to continue playing with Present from Compute enabled, we recommend you disable the Steam overlay to resolve this issue.
  • Issue: Users with (supported) NVIDIA GPUs streaming DOOM Eternal to Discord may experience instability while playing with "Present from Compute" enabled
  • Resolution: To avoid instability while streaming DOOM Eternal to Discord, we recommend users with (supported) NVIDIA GPUs disable Present from Compute in the graphics settings


-Update 3/18/2021-

DOOM Eternal - Campaign
Issue: I am unable to progress my campaign and reloading checkpoint doesn’t resolve the issue. Is there anything I can do about this?
Resolution: If you find yourself in a rare situation where you cannot complete your current campaign objective and reloading the checkpoint doesn’t resolve the situation, Resetting Mission from the pause menu should allow you to progress through the mission from the start.

Issue: I own a standalone version of DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part One, DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part Two, or DOOM Eternal: Year One Pass on Steam. When I click on the “Go Now” button to purchase DOOM Eternal, I am taken to the DOOM Eternal DLC page on Steam. What can I do about this?
Resolution: Click on “DOOM Eternal” at the top of the page, and scroll down until you see the version of the game you want to purchase. You can also use this link.

Issue: ModBot – the Slayer animates for current equipped mod, not for what is acquired, then doesn't switch to new mod.
Resolution: This issue will be fixed in an upcoming update. In the interim, manually equip the new mod as a workaround.

General

  • Skyboxes appear grainy on the AMD Vega 56 GPU
  • For best performance on the NVIDIA GTX 1650 GPU, use driver version 457.51 (you can download them from NVIDIA here)
  • Players using an NVIDIA GTX 1050i may experience a black flickering effect when playing with V-Sync set to “Triple Buffering” or “On”. If encountered, use a different V-Sync setting as a workaround.


-Update 3/10/2021-

Issue: I have an AMD RX Vega 56 GPU and am experiencing frequent hitching. Is there anything I can do about this?
Resolution: Try closing out all background applications and make sure you have AMD GPU drivers 20.11.1 or later installed. Click here to download the latest AMD GPU drivers..

-Update 11/6-

Issue: In DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part One, I've noticed that Spirits sometimes leave a combat encounter without taking another host before all remaining demons are killed. What can I do about this?
Resolution: This is a known issue that we will fix in a future update. You will be able to complete the combat encounter even if a Spirit leaves when there are still host demons available.

-Update 9/10-

Issue: Is there a way for me to submit a crash report on DOOM Eternal PC?
Resolution: You can enable crash dump file creation by entering the following into the command prompt "rgl_captureCrashes 1". To submit a crash dump, click on the following link: https://help.bethesda.net/app/incident10/?prod=1128&cat=287&subcat=1134
(Press ~ to open the command prompt, hit Enter to execute, then hit ~ to close it.)

Issue: On DOOM Eternal PC, I've rebound T to an action that isn't Text Chat and get an error message indicating that "T has been removed from Text Chat". Is there anything I can do about this?
Resolution: In this case, you can ignore the error message "T" can still be used for Text Chat in the appropriate menus, even if rebound.

-Update 5/27- Update 1.1 went live for PC Only - you can now manually remove Denuvo Anti-Cheat - scroll down to PC KNOWN ISSUES.
-Update 5/15- Issue: Demon players who are in-party together aren't able to successfully matchmake in BATTLEMODE.

17. I am receiving the “Account has not been verified” error

  • If you receive an error stating “This account has not been verified” when creating or attempting to link your Bethesda.net account in DOOM Eternal, this indicates that your Bethesda.net account has not yet been verified. This can also indicate that you may already have an account created, but not verified through another game, such as Fallout 4 or Skyrim. You can check what account you have linked to your Betheda.net account here.
  • However, if you have not yet verified your account, you will need to fully verify it before you are able to view the account online. During account creation, a verification email is sent to your Bethesda.net email account. You will be able to verify your account by locating that email and clicking the Verify Account button.

If you have not received the verification email, follow the steps below:

  • Visit https://account.bethesda.net/.
  • Attempt to sign in to your account.

Verify within the classic re-releases that you've both logged in and select "Claim Your Reward."
19. How can I play with my friends in DOOM Eternal?

Please refer to our guide here.

KNOWN ISSUES
Issue: How do I uninstall Denuvo Anti-Cheat?

  • Resolution: If you are a PC user who installed DOOM Eternal Update 1, you will need to manually uninstall Denuvo Anti-Cheat. To do this, go to your Windows Settings, click on Add/Remove Programs (for Win 7 users) or Apps (for Win 10 users), select "Denuvo" and click on Uninstall. Note: Update 1.1 does not auto-uninstall Denuvo Anti-Cheat.

Gameplay:
Issue: When I return to campaign from, then exit Mission Select and restart the mission, none of the collectibles I had found prior to exiting the mission show up as having been obtained.

  • Resolution: This is functioning as intended. Exiting, then restarting a mission from Mission Select resets any collectible progress made prior to mission restart.

Issue: I was playing the game while an update was deployed, but the live tiles haven't updated yet.

  • Resolution: The Live tiles will update the next time you launch the game.

Issue: I noticed that my XP was negative after completing a campaign level or a BATTLEMODE match at one point, probably on a Thursday. Does this mean that I lost progress?

  • Resolution: You didn't lose any progress. This is a cosmetic issue that occurs if you complete a campaign level or a BATTLEMODE match while we are deploying a new Series. We will be correcting this issue in a future patch.

Issue: Sentinel Status is not always removed consistently from players.

  • Resolution: Re-accessing the Social Menu will correctly display the Sentinel Status of selected players. This will be addressed in a future patch.

Issue: Saves on Ultra-Nightmare difficulty are not deleted if the game is closed on the Game Over screen.

  • Resolution: This is an intended function of the Ultra-Nightmare experience. Although the game cannot be progressed on a given save after dying, saves will only be deleted with user permission.

Issue: Player is unable to access the Weapon Wheel if the Weapon Wheel function is bound to the Photomode key (D-Pad down)

  • Resolution: Do not assign Weapon Wheel to the same function as Photomode.

Issue: Why aren’t my friends receiving my Party invites?

  • Resolution: In some situations, delivery of party invitations may be delayed. Re-send a party invite if it fails to arrive after a minute or two.

Issue: I’ve killed all the Demons in the current arena, but demon gates are still blocking me.

  • Resolution: Demons may escape from their gates in rare situations. In most cases they return to the main arena shortly. However, if they persistent, restarting from the previous saved checkpoint resolves this issue.

Issue: Can I play a BATTLEMODE match with a friend on another platform?

  • Resolution: DOOM Eternal currently does not support cross-platform multiplayer

Issue: Can I invite my friends to a private match or party from [Xbox One/PS4/Steam/Bethesda.net/Stadia] system software?

  • Resolution: You can only currently invite friends to private matches and parties via the in-game Social Menu. Will be updating DOOM Eternal to support system software invites in the near future.

Issue: Why am I seeing poor performance while using G-Sync or Freesync?

  • Resolution: For best performance with these features, enable V-sync from the in-game graphics settings. Note that 3rd party tools configured to limit frame rates may adversely impact performance.

Issue: Using an AMD GPU, I'm experiencing performance and instability issues with HDR enabled. What can I do to improve this?

  • Resolution: Some AMD GPU users may encounter performance and instability issues with HDR enabled. AMD is working on a driver-side fix for this. In the meantime we recommend AMD GPU users to disable HDR. If you continue to experience poor performance after disabling HDR, restarting your computer and relaunching the game should resolve the issue.

Issue: UI elements appear too dim or bright while playing in HDR mode on PC. Is there anything I can do about this?

  • Resolution: This issue happens when Windows is not set to HDR display mode. Enabling HDR display mode in Windows should mitigate the issue.

Issue: Game becomes dim after Alt-Tabbing or changing the V-Sync settings when running in HDR mode on an AMD GPU. Is there anything I can do about this?

  • Resolution: This is a known driver issue. AMD is working on a fix. Avoid Alt-Tabbing or changing V-sync while running in HDR mode or disable HDR until a driver fix is available. Resetting the driver by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + WINDOWS + B at the same time should also resolve the issue while HDR is enabled.

Issue: There is a known issue with Steam users when Steam Overlay is enabled - where when users hit F12 it will cause the game to crash.

  • Resolution: This is a known issue. Avoid hitting F12 when using the Steam Overlay when in DOOM Eternal.

Issue: When playing BATTLEMODE as a Pain Elemental on PC, the Lost Souls move erratically when using the Soul Shield ability. Is there anything I can do about this?

  • Resolution: This happens for some PC users when they are playing with V-Sync disabled. Re-enabling V-Sync should resolve the issue.

Issue: The TAB key will stop functioning as a key bind for opening the dossier if the user minimizes the game window with alt-enter.

  • Resolution: In order to restore this functionality, the user needs to first maximize the title, then alt-tab out of the game and alt-tab back into the game.

Issue: My friend has the Bethesda.net PC version of the DOOM Eternal. Is there a way for me to add or remove friends in game who are on the Bethesda.net launcher?

  • Resolution: Favorite Code is now available. Players can now add friends to their Favorites using a Favorite Code in the Social Menu.

Issue: My PC meets minimum spec and my GPU drivers are up to date, but I am getting a crash with a "failed to allocate VRAM" message. Is there anything I can do about this?

  • Resolution: This message indicates that you GPU has run out of memory. Lowering your settings should resolve the issue.

Issue: I meet the minimum system requirements and have the latest GPU drivers installed, but am experiencing performance and/or stability issues. Are there any troubleshooting steps I can take to ensure the game runs as expected on my system?

  • Resolution: First, make sure that your system actually meets the minimum system spec requirements and has the latest GPU drivers installed. That information is available at the top of this FAQ. Users who have confirmed they meet the minimum system requirements and have the latest GPU drivers installed will experience performance and possibly stability issues if they are running settings that are inappropriate for their PC configuration. For best results users who have a GPU that has no more than 4GB of dedicated VRAM should run the game at 1080p at Low Quality settings. Users who have a GPU that has no more than 8GB of dedicated VRAM should run the game at 1440p at High Quality settings (monitor permitting). Because there are so many possible PC configurations, you may need to take a trial and error approach to get the very best results for your PC configuration. Reducing Texture and Shadow Quality will be the first option you'll want to experiment with if you are looking for custom game settings.

Issue: I have the latest GPU drivers installed and meet minimum system specs, but the game doesn't launch correctly or crashes on launch. Is there anything I can do?

  • Resolution: For some users, there's a chance you don't have all of the required DirectX files installed. Reinstalling the DirectX runtime libraries found here may resolve this issue.
  • If reinstalling the DirectX runtime libraries doesn't resolve the issue, there's a chance your motherboard BIOS or CPU drivers are out of date.
  • For AMD Ryzen CPU users, updating your motherboard's BIOS and Ryzen chipset drivers may resolve this issue. The BIOS and chipset drivers are the links between your hardware and the operating system. Updating to the latest software ensures users have the latest performance and stability enhancements for the platform. To prevent the game crashing on your Ryzen system, please update your BIOS to the latest version using the files and procedures found on the motherboard manufacturer's website. Additionally, you will need to update your chipset drivers which can be found here.

Issue: The specifications published online don’t match the specifications on my boxed copy. Will my PC be able to run DOOM Eternal?

  • Resolution: Performance optimizations during development resulted in the expectations for performance on the minimum specification to increase for the majority of players. PCs that meet the published back-of-box specifications will still run at those settings, but most users will be able to run at more graphically intensive settings.

Issue: Game window is resetting to default resolution after removing monitors while game is running.

  • Resolution: Issue is caused by changing hardware while title is active. Add/remove hardware before launching the game.

Issue: Does DOOM Eternal support Crossfire for AMD or SLI for NVIDIA GPUs?

  • Resolution: DOOM Eternal does not support Crossfire for AMD or SLI for NVIDIA GPUs. If you play the game with Crossfire or SLI enabled, you will experience performance issues or possible crashes. If you have dual GPUs on your PC, plug both monitors into the primary GPU before you play DOOM Eternal.

Issue: Game crashes when changing settings to Ultra, Nightmare, or Ultra-Nightmare on some systems using only 8 GB of system RAM with Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs.

  • Resolution: When playing the game on these cards, keep settings at High or increase system RAM to at least 16 GB.
  • Issue: Game does not launch on Windows 8 with an AMD GPU installed.
  • Resolution: The latest AMD drivers are incompatible with DOOM Eternal on Windows 8.1. Install the AMD Radeon driver version 19.10.1 in order to play DOOM Eternal.
  • Issue: Game or PC crashes when turning off Vertical Sync while OBS is open.
  • Resolution: The DOOM Eternal game-ready drivers from AMD resolves this issue. This can also be worked around setting V-Sync to “On”, “Adaptive”, or “Triple Buffered” on older AMD GPU driver releases.

Issue: Game crashes when launched on Intel or AMD integrated graphics chipsets.

  • Resolution: Integrated Graphics cards are not supported.

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

  • Resolution: If the issue is encountered, assuming you are able to run the game, disabling the Depth of Field option will resolve this issue.

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

  • Resolution: This issue is caused by the DOOM Eternal executable getting quarantined by an Anti-Virus program. Add an exception to your Anti-Virus program to resolve.

Issue: DOOM Eternal fails to launch or crashes while launching on my Laptop.

  • Resolution: We do not officially support laptop hardware. Laptops that conform to the supported hardware specifications may run DOOM Eternal.

Issue: The game won't launch on my laptop.

  • Resolution: Make sure that the laptop uses its dedicated GPU and that the laptop is plugged into power. (This may also help with some desktops that use mother boards that have integrated GPUs.) Your NVIDIA driver needs to be setup to pick the dedicated GPU.

Issue: Game performance is degraded while playing with external software overlays enabled, such as MSI Afterburner, ReShade and others. There is also a known issue with the Steam overlay that can result in performance degradation

  • Resolution: Disable any external software overlay to improve performance. You may also want to try disabling the Steam overlay. Please use the in-game performance metric display to track FPS and other valuable runtime performance metrics.

Issue: When I try to run DOOM Eternal on PC, I get the following error: "The server is not reachable, check your internet connection and click "Retry"". What do I do?

  • Resolution: To resolve this issue, head to the Control Panel on your computer, go to "Internet Options", select the "Advanced" tab, scroll down to "Security", enable "Use TLS 1.2", and then click "OK".

Accounts/Entitlement Redemption:
Issue: Milestone rewards don’t unlock if the player is offline when the Milestone is achieved.

  • Resolution: This will be addressed in a future patch.

Issue: Is there a way to link my Bethesda.net account out of the game?
Resolution: You can link your Bethesda.net account on the web here.
Issue: I am getting the following message: "No username specified. Please complete account verification." What does it mean and what can I do?

  • Resolution: There are two possible causes for this message. Note that you can continue into the game unimpeded for both cases.

1. Users who have created Bethesda.net accounts without specifying a username in another Bethesda title will see this message. For these users, you will need to complete the steps outlined in the Account Verification email that Bethesda.net sent you at the time of account creation in order to dismiss this message.
2. Some users who have created Bethesda.net user names are also reporting they are seeing this message. This user group is experiencing a delay in backend services that we are working diligently to resolve. We apologize for the inconvenience and want to remind this user group that they can excuse the message and play the game unimpeded.

Updated Retail Specs


There have also been some adjustments made to the minimum and recommended specs that are listed on the packaging of DOOM Eternal physical PC copies. Those changes are listed below:

Updated Minimum Spec (from what is printed on the PC box)

  • Removed Windows 8.1 as a supported operating system because it is no longer supported by AMD as of their most recent driver release.
  • Win 8.1 users with AMD GPUs will need to use driver version 19.10.1 to run the game successfully.
  • We’ve increased the resolution from 720p/60 FPS at Low Quality settings to 1080p/60 FPS at Low quality settings and have added in support for some 3GB and additional 4GB GPUs.
  • Added current gen NVIDIA GPUs that also meet the min spec performance requirements.

Updated Recommended Spec (from what is printed on the PC box)

  • We’ve increased the resolution from 1080p/60 FPS at High Quality settings to 1440p at High quality settings and have added in support for some additional GPUs at 1080p/60 FPS.
  • We’ve also reduced the system RAM requirements from 16GB to 8GB.
  • In order to hit higher performance targets, we removed the Ryzen 5 CPU and added specific i7 and Ryzen 7 CPU model numbers.
  • Recommended Specs listed on the PC box will still work as advertised
  • Added current gen NVIDIA GPUs that also meet the recommended spec performance requirements.

Added Ultra-Nightmare Spec
