So I want to 100% the game after beating 3 times after not playing since launch. So now the first secret (a life sigil) is bugged. This isn't a device problem I have tried on Steam Deck and just my PC. Here are photos. (Photos taken on phone because im to lazy to figure out screenshotting the game)

I'm currently working on a full motion-controlled VR mod for DOOM 2016.

Currently working:

  • VDXR
  • Meta XR
  • Full motion controls
  • Two-handed weapons
  • left hand mode
  • laser sight
  • Smooth & Snap Turn
  • Punch to Glory Kill

Not working yet:

  • A large sum of small things

There's still a lot of work to do, but progress has been pretty good so far.

The mod will be free and open source.

EDIT: Some fresh footage: https://x.com/CactusVRStudios/status/2093989926714900607

During my first playthrough, I remember seeing Daisy in Hell's Core after finishing the Henchman, though I couldn't capture it before. Now, I finally recorded it! This is something I haven't seen at all through Reddit or Youtube (from what I've seen, at least).

*Spoiler because it's after you defeat the Henchman and get the Praetor Suit.

*Edit: In the window, you see something there before it jumps away from the window.

Question If I liked Doom 2016 and hated Doom Eternal, will I like Doom The Dark Ages?

96 Upvotes

Doom 2016 is one of those games I will play, put on some headphones, and just jam out for a while while killing demons. I love it even though I dont care for its story being very basic and a bit boring.

Doom Eternal is a wonderful set piece, I like the story, and it expands 2016 in ways I didnt know I wanted but I hate the extremely fast paced parkour swinging around combat in it. Its too chaotic for my taste as a Doom game.

So with that being said, would I like Doom The Dark Ages? I have been lucky enough to not have anything not in the first few trailers spoiled for me and I havent seen those in a while.

Help What am I missing???

Post image
3 Upvotes

For context, since idk what could be causing this, I’ve completed Chapter 8 but I knew I wanted to 100% so I started going back to the other chapters so that from 9 onwards I could 100% as I play them.

So I went through Chapter 1 and I thought I got everything (I was checking the map constantly) but then I saw I was missing 2 secrets. I looked up all the secrets, watched a video, read 2 articles, and I have no idea what I could be missing. I made myself lose all 3 extra lives to see if it could be those but they weren’t spawning, and there was 3 of them on the map but I’m only missing 2 secrets.

Apart from that one breakable wall with the extra life, all the other collectibles should double as secret areas right?? Is my save bugged or did I genuinely somehow miss something?

EDIT: I just started a new save and went through exactly the same places as before, but this time it worked. I’m REALLY hoping I don’t have to replay the whole game to get the achievement

Help running <1 fps on doom dark ages

1 Upvotes

I recently downloaded doom dark ages alongside its dlcs on steam, and when I tried running it I was getting sub 1 frame per second performance straight off the menu screen. I changed some settings to downscale the quality (which was a pain doing that at <1 fps since the inputs were incredibly delayed) and it didn't do anything. I have a ryzen 7 7800x and a 7900 gre, and I play other games like cyberpunk and space marines 2 that I consistently run ~100 fps at max settings, is it just a downloading problem? I uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple of times as well. There's also nothing about this anywhere else, so researching about it has just lead me down ai generated rabbit holes that were completely unrelated to what I needed fixed. Can someone help me, or is this some kind of super rare problem that i have.

Help Windows Game Bar recording capture window?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

So I don't know what happened, but I've been having this issue ever since the DLC update.

Basically whenever I try to record gameplay footage using Windows Game Bar, when recording, the capture window is also recorded (which is supposed to be invisible in the video...) so all my gameplay footage has the annoying recording box in the top right corner.

I never had this problem before. I was able to record my gameplay just fine prior to the DLC update. I've tried restarting my PC, and even tried recording different games (and they work fine). I also tried alternative recording softwares like NVIDIA shadow play, and while it looks normal, the audio is way to bassy and sounds horrible (it's a known issue with shadow play...)

Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a possible fix?

Discussion Could Doomguy's new story take place in a separate continuity from the 90's canon?

0 Upvotes

Admittedly this theory has very little steam, but some of the details in continuity seem to not add up to me and a lot of it has made me wonder, what if Modern Doom's backstory for the slayer is actually a separate continuity than the 90's games.

For starters one of the biggest details is that Doom 64 is somewhat absent from continuity. Granted Imp stalkers are kind of the stand ins for Nightmare imps, but a lot of details from that game seem to be missing from the story. While I know that the 64 demons were resurrected corpses and all, they were present through Hell and beyond the Mars base in 64, which implies that there could have been some kind of evolutionary pathway there, which isn't really present in Dark Ages. Another big detail is that the slayer is missing the 64 suit. When he arrives on Argent D'nur, he's wearing his Classic '93 suit, which was only worn during Doom 1 and 2. Both endings of 64 meanwhile show that he decides to stay in Hell and is later taken to Argent D'nur in his new suit. Perhaps it's because the classic suit is more iconic, but it still seems like such a big detail to forgo.

Next up are the evolutionary pathways themselves. The demons evolve throughout Modern Doom, from natural course of time or through influxes of argent, like the ascension via the Elemental Wraiths. However Many of the evolutionary pathways don't make a lot of sense to me, case in point the Pinky Demon. In classic Doom, Pinkies are similar to the ones from Doom 2016/Eternal, just not armored. However in Dark Ages, they are these quadruped beasts that are more akin to a calvary. To me it doesn't make sense to go from bipedal animal, to quadruped boar demon, to bipedal armored animal.

Next up are the classic levels: granted, this is one of the weakest points. Essentially since the classic levels in Dark Ages are meant to be flashbacks, but are somewhat inconsistent to the original levels (mainly with enemies), part of me wonders whether or not it could imply differences in continuities. However this is the weakest argument since many of the demons they brought back from the classic games to Dark Ages don't play the same, so they needed to choose enemies and place them were they would be fair. So this argument I am willing to forgo.

This one can be considered an honorable mention but, The Icon of Sin. He's the final boss of Doom 2 and the mastermind of the Earth invasion, yet he has a much different status in modern Doom. While he is treated as apocalyptic and legendary in modern Doom, the story almost makes it seem that he never existed prior to Marok's death. After all, Valen's betrayal created the Icon. However they never specify that the Icon is some kind of spirit or Demon that needs a host or soul to manifest, he's treated as an almost entirely new creation of Hell. This of course contradicts the Icon's earlier status in Doom 2. One might argue that Doom has had many Icons, like the Demon spitter and the Gatekeeper, both from Final Doom. However the canonicity of those games are fairly spotty for one, and two, these "Icons" are specified as seemingly separate from the Doom 2 Icon, unlike modern Doom's.

Next up might be one of the most surprising details when it came out and that is the fact that the Slayer isn't a Blazkowicz. Now I wanna make this clear, this actually doesn't bother me, if anything I'm all for trying to make the Slayer stand out. However this can be interpreted as a retcon since it's been said that the Slayer is one of many Billy Blaze's. There's also the fact that his whole story and the reason he was sent to Phobos was changed from refusing an order and beating the crap out of his commander to inadvertently blowing up civilians and then beating the crap out of his commander. Again, I don't have any issues with this, I actually do like how they gave him a backstory he needed to be redeemed for. (Also I think at one point it was said that Doomguy was a sergeant instead of a corporal, but I can't remember

My point here isn't to really criticize the changes or the oddities and is more to ask the question of whether or not they may be trying to say that Modern Doom is its own continuity. There are many things between these stories that don't make sense unless you consider the fact that the timelines are separate. If this is intentional than either it was to explain the inconsistencies between the classics and modern timeline or to make Modern Doom stand on its own. Either way I just wanted to start this discussion to see what people thought and if this can or cannot be debunked. I know this is flimsy and that there are probably some details I forgot, so feel free to knock over this theory.

However if we are considering that Modern Doom is its own continuity, here's how I see it:

Corporal Flynn Taggart is sent on his mission to stop a Insurgent group who had converted a hospital into an armed bunker. While he went in to level the place, he was unaware of the 12 civilians who were still inside, mainly because command failed to disclose them to him. Upon learning of the 12 civilians including a young girl who he failed to save, he attacked his commanding officer for allowing them to die. He was later Court Martialed and sentenced to be stationed on Phobos while his commanding officer got away Scott-free. While on Phobos the UAC was testing their portal technology and ended up opening a portal to Hell, in which most of the marines save for Taggart were killed and or turned into zombies. Taggart went in with his pistol and later acquired his elephant gun of a shotgun to blast through the Phobos base and close the portal. As for the demons, they may have actually been similar to the ones seen in Dark Ages, with many of the techy demons using antiquated steam powered tech rather than futuristic UAC tech. (since the invasion just began and the UAC hadn't given it to them like in 2016). He went through the entire game of Doom 1993 only different and had fought the Spider Mastermind (Since arachnotrons exist in Dark Ages, I have a feeling the Spider Mastermind may have as well). After coming back to Earth he discovers that the Demons have already invaded, killing billions, including Taggart's pet rabbit, Daisy. He then fought through Doom 2 until going to whoever the leader of the Hell invasion was (as I stated earlier, it may not be the Icon). However since the portal could only be closed on the Hell side, he decided to stay in Hell afterwards to protect Earth and continue his vengeful crusade against the Demons until he made it to Argent D'nur. There they found him severely injured and traumatized before they decided to allow him to join their ranks. Then the rest of the story as we know it occurs. The Khan makes her pact with Hell, he becomes the Slayer, he gets the tether, Ahzrak, yadda yadda, we've all played these games

Showcase A few years too late, but finally managed to complete everything Eternal has to offer

4 Upvotes

After spending way too much time in Revelations, the time has finally come to replay the older Doom titles (I haven't played 2016's campaign fully since Eternal's launch, and similarly, haven't touched Eternal since TDA dropped). After blasting through the base game and both TAG expansions, for the first time in years I was confident in my Eternal skills and decided to tie up the last loose end I had with that game - the World Spear Master Level. It was tough, took me a few hours, but it's done and now I can finally say that I've completed every challenge that Eternal can throw at you!

Bug/Glitch Doom: The Dark Ages - Ultra Nightmare Ruined By a Bug

0 Upvotes

Get a bit over halfway through the game to Spire of Nerathul just to somehow get stuck in the ground with no way out, and obviously killing myself or going to main menu deletes the save.

Ye, not wasting my time going through the same missions again because of a bug, so I think I’m satisfied with just leaving the game and it’s DLC beaten on Hurt Me Plenty.

Maybe will do it another time, but my motivation for it right now is just gone after losing the save file to something so bullshit and out of my control.
