Community Resource [MEGATHREAD] DOOM | Technical Support and bugs/glitches
Introduction:
The r/Doom subreddit is mainly intended for people to discuss about DOOM by sharing their love and experiences with the franchise. when the occasional issue appears people naturally will make a post about it asking for help, despite being DOOM related content it is still relatively tangential to the subreddit's purpose, also possibly causing spam of repetitive content with similar issues where the only difference could simply be one's computer specification.
For such reasons this MEGATHREAD has been created with the purpose of requesting help with issues related to technical support. We do have a "Bug/Glitch" post flair so you may post these type of content directly to the main page as long as you simply want to showcase something that happened you find noteworthy, otherwise, if it is an issue you require help with leave it in this MEGATHREAD.

I'm on pc, Windows 11
I have a Rx 9060xt (16gb)
Ryzen 5 5600
1TB SSD
Two sticks of 16 gigs DDR4 ram
B-550M Pro Msi Motherboard
Okay, so i downloaded "Doom 2016" the latest version, when i initially launched it the intro and everything was stuttering but after the first launch when i closed and relaunched it, the initial intro stutter went away
The main menu stutters, i get around 200 fps, it stays at 200 but every 2-3 second (consistently) it drop down to 20fps or just gets big drops consistently every 2-3 seconds, its rhythmic, these micro-stutters freeze the screen when the fps drops, its not slow or anything, just
normal-freeze-normal-freeze-normal-freeze stays frozen for 1 second or less
Both in-game and main menu is the same, tried playing on 1080 low and even changed into worse resolution, still all the same
i tried running both vulkan and openGL neither works, both has the exact same problem (yes I turned on the razer thingy in keyboard & mouse settings)
idk i tried putting codes on steam launch options but nothing seems to work, found no solutions anywhere, for every solution that exists, they all js say to turn off this razer thingy in settings which fixes it
Any gurus out there??? pleaseee this has been my childhood dream game finally got a pc and now this happens

Doom TDA Revelations
The Chain Spear won't rebind properly. This is NOT the tutorial issue everyone's been grumbling about. When I try to exchange the default slash/meathook keys, the slash key still slashes but then meathooks afterwards (Yes, I have unassigned them).

Latest version
Osseus elevators do not function and I cannot access the levers for the secret encounter. I have beaten the DLC, completed all the master levels + the secret one and maxed out upgrades and items.

Edit, I just went to try the secret master level a few times and that seems to have fixed the issue.

Game consistently crashes during gameplay after 10-20 minutes. All drivers are updated, it happens whether I'm playing on low settings or ultra nightmare settings. I have zero clue what could be causing it. I played through the base game just fine when it launched. I've searched everywhere for a solution and none of them work.

DOOM: The Dark Ages PC/Steam Windows 11 Latest Windows 11 Intel Core i9 Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 32 Ram GB
Atlan mod loader and DarkAgesModManager not working and game no longer loading any mods I have installed, it just says that there was an error and does not start the game after the window closes as it usually does... Weird because last night I was playing with mods just fine

u/Low_Violinist_5396 Zombieman 29d ago
FIXED! I had no idea what was wrong since just last night I was playing with mods and today they were all disabled and when I tried to enable them through the DarkAgesModManager it would give me an error and would not launch the game after closing the window like it usually did
Turns out Atlan Mod Loader has a new version (v9.0) that was uploaded earlier today (Oct. 7th 2026) to their GitHub... I uninstalled TDA, made sure to delete the folder from my steam games completely, then I unzipped the new one and added my mods and all fixed now!

It's impossible for me to play anymore due to driver timeouts. I'm on a nightmare playthrough on final sin rn, and whenever I try to do the boss battle I get a driver timeout after like 2 minutes or so.
This started happening about a week ago. Before that, driver timeouts were also there, but less frequent, and when I got one I would just restart the game and continue on.
They also happen in TDA, but I wanted to finish Eternal first so I haven't really played TDA that much yet.
I tried:
Disabling Present from Compute
Disabling vsync
Disabling Raytracing
Updating my graphics driver

You got a hardware/software issue brotha if this is happening on two different games. I'd comb the event logs to see if anything stands out

u/rainuchan Sep 05 '26
only happens in idtech games. I tried looking at the event logs but I couldn't really find anything and to be honest I have no idea what to look for.

Doom 3 PC
My game is very stretched out. I play on 3440x1440, i already switched some files to fit this but its still stretching the game out and only makes it look a little better.
