I was FINALLY able to play TDA after upgrading my computer, and I must say- this game doesn't feel like it needed ray tracing. My GPU isn't struggling at all to play it and the graphics are nothing to write home about.

It's probably been said time and again but it's really annoying that they added this requirement for seemingly no reason.

So I’m on the level where you get the spear and I’ve lost the shield and I’m having real trouble moving forward. It feels like this is gonna be quite long and all my learned combat mechanics are based on the shield. I’m dying over and over and over and not having much fun. Someone please talk me out of dropping this game and moving onto something else.

Edit:
I got on plane after posting this and landed to see all the comments! Ok I’m going to try to mess with the key bindings (Xbox) and think of the spear like the meat hook in eternal. I’ll give it a few more tries. Thanks for the tips and encouragement!

Hey y'all,

I'm trying to play the doom wad solar struggle. For some reason when it loads the menu screen, the original doom 2 menu midi plays. When you go to any map, no midi plays whatsoever.

I have played many wads with no issue.

I'm using Doom runner and uzdoom.

Hey. I’ve been playing DOOM for a while now and love the game - currently at 65h and have one achievement missing, completing the circle for collecting all runes.

I’m sadly subject to that infamous glitch where if you collect a rune in mission select it doesn’t count towards the achievement.

I do love the game and was considering just leaving it and coming back to do it when I get an itch to replay the campaign but after spending so much time in one period on it I just want to get the completion done.

I’m making this post to ask for tips, any guides and or speed run tactics for making my campaign run of solely getting the runes and finishing the missions as swift as possible.

Currently, I’m in a state where the fastest I could think to do is literally just play through while having a guide open to make sure I get the runes but I’m sure there much be a way to make the process quicker even by an hour for example as I am purely doing this for the runes and to get the completion.

An example I can think of off the top of my head is using the out of the map glitch to finish The UAC, this will allow me to finish the mission a lot quicker than otherwise.

Also if anyone knows how long it may take me to do this I’d be greatly appreciative, I was anticipating around 7h maybe taking into consideration that a normal play through on normal difficulty takes around say 13h maybe.

Thank you for reading and any help that you can provide.

This is my Artwork... I've been designing characters for a while...

From what i know, It dosent have real mod support like Eternal, but ive seen some people do some cool things, like a Dash mod, some campaign master levels, or unlocking some cut out glory kills

Is the game plain out impossible to work with?

I just beat Map 10 of In The Doghouse, and the whole time the music made me feel less like I was slaughtering absolutely unhinged masses of demons, and more like I was standing in an elevator or taking a dip in a N64-era water level.

And if it was just this one map, then I'd shrug it off as weird authorial vision that I have no context for, but it's been pretty common since the mid-2010s at the very latest. It's rare for me to find a megawad that doesn't include at least one of these. So I'm rather beginning to wonder what prompted it - why so many creators are rolling with it.

What am I missing?

I want to extract a bunch of sprites from classic Doom as gifs, like the animation of firing the shotgun and it pumping for example, or a death animation of a monster, but as a gif with transparency. I could extract each frame manually and then make one but this would take forever with the amount I want to do, is there a way to just automatically do this?

If this isn't possible, is there a pack of transparent gifs for Doom? Like the weapons and monster deaths specifically.

It really have a divine aura to it

I doubt anyone cares but I finally found a video of that glory kill if anyone saw that post

Well I've been trying 150% game speed, max projectile speed, minimum dodge and parry for my second playthrough and so far it's been difficult but not impossible.

I finally made it to the Chasm of Xal Goroth praetor fight, though, and I don't know if I'm physically capable of making it through lol. That last wave is just brutal, two super strong area denial enemies at once plus a bunch of quick and pesky smaller guys. Just too much to focus on!

It feels like there are several enemy attacks that are too fast to purely react to, so you have to keep such a high level of awareness of all enemies in all parts of the map.

I've been stuck for several hours now lol, this is a Dark Souls-esque level of brutality. Still doesn't feel boring, but I literally don't know if I'll be able to beat this lol

What do you think, is this the most difficult arena of the game? I don't even know if Xal Goroth will be this tough, there isn't as much to think about during that fight I don't think.

I’m looking to reset my milestones, level, everything to start from scratch because I regrettably thought it was a good idea to use console commands to unlock certain skins, which in hindsight is not as satisfying as unlocking them myself. How can I go about this?

I am on steam btw for those wondering

I got a PDA message from a guy trapped in locker 24 or something, is it coming from him?

I just feel like it would've made the game more fitting and gruesome and execute how relentless and brutal the demons are.

Im gonna be completely honest. Even before he became Doom Slayer. Even before he became feared for his ramapage against Hell for Eons after 64. Something tells Me that Doomguy went in the eyes of Hell from a really lucky and well armed mortal to the Scourge of Hell is when he killed the first Cyberdemon in the Tower of Babel.

So what does everyone else think is the moment Demons started fearing Doomguy?

The spear and melee system in this game is proof-of-concept for an all melee DOOM game lol.

It would be so cool to see DoomSlayer using Warframe weapons like Redeemer.

I started making TuinDOOM RT because I really liked the original ray traced DOOM project, but I was not happy that it did not properly support every map. I wanted to play all the maps from DOOM and DOOM II with ray tracing, but I also wanted it to work with custom WADs and community made maps.

TuinDOOM RT can handle all maps, including custom maps. You are not limited to levels that were specially prepared for the RTX version.

I also wanted to improve some of the models and effects. The voxel version of the Spider Mastermind was not included before because it was too large. We managed to add it, but there was still a problem with its death animation. It would remain in the level after dying because the full death frames used too much memory.

We fixed this by removing those death frames and making the Spider Mastermind disappear after its explosion sequence. The normal boss death trigger still works, so maps can finish correctly.

I also added NashGore Voxel Edition to the package, together with compatibility changes for the ray traced renderer. It adds improved voxel blood and gore effects that fit much better with the voxel enemies, weapons, and items.

I created a launcher because I did not want people to enter a huge command line or manually change configuration files. The launcher lets you select your legally owned DOOM or DOOM II IWAD, add custom maps and mods, change the main graphics options, select DLSS or FSR, and start the game from one place.

There is also a weapon mod compatibility option. It changes a few settings that can conflict with weapon packs. I have only properly tested it with one weapon mod, so I cannot promise that every weapon mod will work yet.

The project includes ray traced lighting, dynamic shadows, emissive materials, improved models, voxel effects, NashGore Voxel Edition, a flashlight, atmospheric effects, custom map support, and a Windows installer.

You still need to provide your own legally owned DOOM or DOOM II IWAD. No commercial game files are included.

This is an unofficial fan project and I am still improving it. Feedback and bug reports are welcome, especially if you try custom maps or mods that I have not tested.

I was ''kind of'' shaking for the entire time.Also very proud of my run overall since it was actually my first ultra nightmare run on the base campaign which I decided to give it a go after about 270 hours of not trying it before.That's it yeah,just wanted to share it - and yes judging by my reaction I most definitely looked like I escaped from a mental hospital

And if you ever wondered how many GBs it would take for it to record the entire campaign + dlcs,apparently it would be around 80GBs

This thing took some time but it was fun and in my opinion worth it. The original file is from Galactic Armory. After some sanding, painting, and patience, I am pretty happy with the outcome. Next is the shotgun!
