Like most new games, the new game in the Doom series also contains many errors and bugs that make it difficult to enjoy the game. And if you can still put up with some problems, then there are those that completely discourage you from playing Doom 4. That is why we have collected on this page all the currently known bugs of the game Doom 2016. Read and we hope this article has a solution to your problem.
Let's start, perhaps, with Doom 4 system requirements because If your computer does not meet the requirements of the game, then maybe there is no point in dealing with errors? Doom 2016 System Requirements the following.
Minimum:
Processor: Intel Core i5-2400 / AMD FX-8320 or better
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (2GB) / AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB)
DirectX: Version 11
Internet connection
Disk space: 22 GB
Recommended:
System: Windows 7,8.1,10 (64 bits only)
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 / AMD FX-8350 or better
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4GB) / AMD Radeon R9 290 (4GB)
DirectX: Version 11
Internet connection
Disk space: 22 GB
We're done with the requirements, and now let's move directly to the problems of the game. Doom - disk write error
In general, nothing complicated. This error is associated with:
1.Not enough disk memory
2. Damage to the hard (magnetic) disk
3.The game files are damaged, try downloading them again.
If all else fails, try installing the game in a different folder, while excluding Russian characters in the path to this folder.
Doom 2016 red screen
The error is unusual because is not directly related to the game, but to the software that can be installed on your computer. The software prevents the game from loading, causing it to freeze on a red screen. Before starting the game, disable absolutely all software that you definitely do not need during the game, and also turn off the antivirus.
Doom 4 stuck on level two, door closed
This is also a bug associated with an incorrect sequence of actions, as a result of which the door closing script was launched. To prevent this from happening again, load your last save and use the elevator instead of the door.
Doom in the game is too dark, not enough brightness
This is not an error, but simply an incorrect gamma setting. Go to the game settings and set the gamma to a value that you feel comfortable playing with.
When Doom 2016 starts, there is a small window in the upper left corner. I can't run it in full screen.
Option 1: Right-click on the game exe file and select properties - compatibility. Check or uncheck the Disable scaling checkbox. Click apply and try to launch the game.
Option 2: Launch the game and set the resolution to the lowest resolution in the settings. After that, try setting the native resolution again.
Option 3:
There is another solution, but more complicated:
1.Turn off a setting such as scaling in the video card control panel.
2.Launch the game and set the resolution to the highest resolution you can.
3.Set your desktop resolution to the value you want in the game.
4.Restart your PC
5.Start the game.
6.You will not see the full game menu, you will have to do it by touch. Select single player.
7.Select a game.
8.Open settings. Select a video.
9.Go down 4 points, press select, go up 3 points and press select. (if that doesn’t work, you may have to do steps 6-9 on the controller)
10.Save your settings and play.
This is the solution. 
Doom crashes 98%. Doom 2016 crashes after the ID software video
Try checking the integrity of the game files and the error should go away.
Also, try simply disabling Steam Overlay for the game.
Doom low performance, how to increase FPS
If you are sure that your PC can run the game without lags, then try updating your video card drivers first.
If it doesn't help:
1.Reduce settings.
2.Turn off V-sync.
run the game and if it doesn't help
Activate settings such as triple buffering and Vertical sync in the video card control panel.
Doom 4 problems with the mouse, how to turn off mouse acceleration, the mouse is too fast
Everything can be solved very easily and simply, just start the game with the parameter +set m_smooth 0
Doom how to skip introductory videos when starting the game
It can also be solved by simply adding +com_skipIntroVideo 1 to the game launch parameters.
Doom won't start
It is quite possible that this error is caused by the software used to access the network via VPN. If this is typical for you, disable the VPN. Otherwise try:
1. Make sure that there is enough memory for the game; to do this, close all additional software.
2.Check the integrity of the game files.
3.Update your video drivers.
4.Install the latest updates to the OS, and use a clean, original build of the system.
5. The game may not respond to startup if at least one part of your PC (memory, video card, processor) does not meet the minimum requirements, make sure that this does not apply to you.
6.Update DirectX, MS Visual C++ Redistributable
Perhaps the most frequently asked question in the near future. What kind of defense is used in the game Doom?
In general, let’s not bore you, the game, like many recent major releases, uses the currently popular Denuvo, which means that you don’t have to look for pirates, cracks, and other things for this game yet. Perhaps the situation will change in the future, but for now this is the reality. 
Doom 4 black screen
We may have already bored you with this answer, but the point is that the black screen can really be removed by installing the latest drivers on the video card (even if it is beta)
Doom connection error. The server is not reachable / Server is unavailable
1.Disable Firewall, antivirus.
2.Disable VPN
3.Open the ports on the router.
Most likely, something is blocking the game's access to the Internet. Try also running the game as an administrator.
You can try to temporarily, completely remove the antivirus to see if the problem is resolved. Many antiviruses contain a whole package of anti-virus and unwanted software tools, and it is likely that one of these packages will cause such errors with the system.
That's the whole article for now. If you have questions, ask. Also, as new problems arise, we will update the FAQ. Good luck!
Unfortunately, games have flaws: stutters, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not so minor errors. Often problems begin even before the game starts, when it does not install, does not load, or does not even download. And the computer itself sometimes does weird things, and then in Doom VFR there is a black screen instead of a picture, the controls don’t work, you can’t hear the sound or anything else.
What to do first
- Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download via direct link) - this is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
- Update all drivers on the system using the program Driver Updater(download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
- Install the program WinOptimizer(download via direct link) and enable game mode in it, which will end useless background processes while launching games and improve performance in the game.
The second thing to do if you encounter any problems with Doom VFR is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this before purchasing, so as not to regret the money spent.
Doom VFR Minimum System Requirements:
Windows 7, Intel Core i5 Broadwell, 8 GB RAM, 17 GB HDD, HTC Vive Nvidia GTX 1070
Every gamer should have at least a little understanding of components, know why a video card, processor and other things are needed in the system unit.
Files, drivers and libraries
Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.
You should start with the drivers for your video card. Modern graphics cards are manufactured by only two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product drives the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the latest driver package:
A prerequisite for the successful operation of Doom VFR is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:
If Doom VFR does not start, we recommend that you try disabling your antivirus or putting the game in antivirus exceptions, and also check again for compliance with the system requirements and if something from your build does not comply, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components .
Doom VFR has black screen, white screen, color screen. Solution
Problems with screens of different colors can be divided into 2 categories.
Firstly, they often involve using two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you play on a discrete one, then Doom VFR may launch for the first time on the built-in one, but you will not see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.
Secondly, color screens occur when there are problems with displaying images on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, Doom VFR cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support the video card. Also, a black/white screen may appear when working at resolutions that are not supported by the game.
Doom VFR crashes. At a specific or random moment. Solution
You play for yourself, play and then - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop in front of you without any hint of a game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, you should try to figure out what the nature of the problem is.
If a crash occurs at a random moment in time without any pattern, then with a 99% probability we can say that this is a bug of the game itself. In this case, it is very difficult to fix something, and the best thing to do is just put Doom VFR aside and wait for the patch.
However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.
However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download the Doom VFR save and bypass the departure location.
Doom VFR freezes. The picture freezes. Solution
The situation is approximately the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather to the developer’s mistake when creating it. However, often a frozen picture can become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.
So if the picture in Doom VFR freezes, then use programs to display statistics on component loading. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?
The easiest way to check the load and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If you wish, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Doom VFR image.
What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. For processors it is slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have already dried out and needs to be replaced.
If the video card is heating up, then you should use a driver or an official utility from the manufacturer. It is necessary to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and check whether the operating temperature decreases.
Doom VFR is slow. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Solution
If there are slowdowns and low frame rates in Doom VFR, the first thing to do is lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are many of them, so before reducing everything, it’s worth finding out exactly how certain settings affect performance.
Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the game picture. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is insignificant, so you should reduce the screen resolution only as a last resort, when everything else no longer helps.
Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of texture files. The texture quality should be reduced if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if you are using a very old hard drive with a spindle speed of less than 7200.
Model quality(sometimes just detailing). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power from the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means this parameter should be reduced on video cards with low core or memory frequencies.
Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time at every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. For optimization purposes, developers often abandon full rendering and add pre-rendered shadows to the game. They are static, because essentially they are just textures overlaid on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the video card core.
Often developers add additional settings related to shadows:
- Shadow Resolution - Determines how detailed the shadow cast by an object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, it loads the video card core, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
- Soft shadows - smoothing out unevenness in the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.
Smoothing. Allows you to get rid of ugly corners on the edges of objects through the use of a special algorithm, the essence of which usually comes down to generating several images at once and comparing them, calculating the most “smooth” picture. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in their level of impact on the performance of Doom VFR.
For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4 or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4 or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms like FXAA and TAA work a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Thanks to this, they do not reduce performance as much.
Lighting. As with anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. They all use video card resources, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on “green” ones. HDAO, on the contrary, is optimized for video cards from AMD. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so in case of brakes in Doom VFR it is worth switching to it.
What to reduce first? Shadows, anti-aliasing and lighting effects tend to take the most work, so these are the best places to start.
Gamers often have to do the optimization of Doom VFR themselves. Almost all major releases have various related forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.
One of them is a special program called WinOptimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean their computer of various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. WinOptimizer will do this itself and also analyze your computer to identify ways to improve performance in applications and games.
Doom VFR lags. Large delay when playing. Solution
Many people confuse “brakes” with “lags,” but these problems have completely different causes. Doom VFR slows down when the frame rate at which the image is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay in accessing the server or any other host is too high.
This is why lags can only occur in online games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.
However, the latter happens least often. In online games, communication between client and server occurs through the exchange of relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough.
There is no sound in Doom VFR. Can not hear anything. Solution
Doom VFR works, but for some reason it doesn't sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play like this, but it’s still better to figure out what’s going on.
First you need to determine the scale of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or even on the computer? If only in a game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.
If there is no sound at all, then the problem is definitely in the computer settings. Perhaps the sound card drivers are installed incorrectly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error in our beloved Windows OS.
Controls do not work in Doom VFR. Doom VFR does not recognize the mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Solution
How to play if it is impossible to control the process? Problems with supporting specific devices are inappropriate here, because we are talking about familiar devices - a keyboard, mouse and controller.
Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded; the problem is almost always on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to contact the driver. Usually, when you connect a new device, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice and gamepads are incompatible with them.
Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find its driver. Devices from well-known gaming brands often come with their own software packages, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all functions of a particular device.
If you don’t want to search for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you only need to wait for the scan results and download the necessary drivers in the program interface.
Often Doom VFR brakes can be caused by viruses. In this case, it makes no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can scan your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32. The antivirus has proven itself to be the best and has been approved by millions of users around the world.
ZoneAlarm is suitable for both personal use and small businesses, capable of protecting a computer running Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats . New users are given a 30-day free trial.
Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to security development. Versions of anti-virus programs are available on the developer’s website for both PCs and mobile devices; a 30-day trial version is provided. There are special conditions for business.
Doom VFR downloaded from a torrent does not work. Solution
If the game distribution was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of operation. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the process of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games, which are often used to verify the license.Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files in them have been changed. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify the EXE file. At the same time, no one knows what else they do with it. Perhaps they embed self-executing software. For example, when the game is first launched, it will integrate into the system and use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees here and cannot be.
In addition, the use of pirated versions is, in the opinion of our publication, theft. The developers spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their brainchild would pay off. And every work must be paid.
Therefore, if any problems arise with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using one or another means, you should immediately remove the pirated version, clean your computer with an antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only protect you from dubious software, but will also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.
Doom VFR gives an error about missing DLL file. Solution
As a rule, problems associated with missing DLLs arise when starting Doom VFR, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs during the process and, not finding them, crash in the most blatant manner.
To fix this error, you need to find the required DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is using the program DLL-fixer, which scans the system and helps quickly find missing libraries.

A game Doom 4 (2016) it won’t start, what should I do?
Remember that in most cases, startup problems can occur due to incorrect installation of the game. Make sure that during installation the antivirus did not delete anything, the game path does not contain Cyrillic, and there is enough space on the hard drive; moreover, you need a capacity reserve of 5-10 GB. Didn't help? Try running the game as an administrator in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
Doom 4 (2016) slows down, low FPS, lags, freezes, what should I do?
Also, in the task manager, look at the computer resources - perhaps some process is taking too many resources. In this case, disable it, and then launch the game again. It would be a good idea to try lowering your graphics settings. Do not set the lowest ones first, try reducing the effects one by one, paying attention to the increase in FPS.
Doom 4 (2016) crashes to the desktop, what should I do?
If you experience constant crashes in the game, try lowering your graphics settings. This can be especially helpful if flights occur in a specific location. In this case, you can temporarily reduce the graphics settings. Don’t forget about patches, developers fix most technical problems in updates - set automatic updates in the game settings.
Black screen in Doom 4 (2016) what to do?
Black screen in most cases occurs due to GPU issues. Update your video card driver and make sure it fully matches the one listed in the system requirements above. In addition, in some cases, a black screen occurs due to a weak processor. During a black screen, try switching to windowed mode, and then vice versa, using the Alt+Enter key combination.
Doom 4 (2016) it won’t install, the installation is frozen, what should I do?
Before you start freaking out, make sure you have enough space on your hard drive. Remember that the game requires at least 55 GB of free memory. Add to this a few more gigabytes for the program to work correctly. The installation may pause due to poor internet connection. Check the connection. Also remember to disable your antivirus during installation.
IN Doom 4 (2016) Saves don't work, what should I do?
Similar to the previous solution, check the free space on the hard drive. This applies to both the drive where the game is installed and where your documents are located.
Doom 2016 has msvcp120.dll error, what should I do?
If your game complains about the absence of msvcp120.dll after installation, then you must manually install the specified dll file. To do this, you will have to install software that will help you install missing .dll files. The DLL-files Fixer program can help you. After installing the application, launch it and click on “Install DLL files”. In the search field, type “msvcp120.dll” into the window and press the enter button, and then install the specified dll files into the root directory of your game.
How in Doom 4 (2016) disable mouse acceleration
If you want to disable mouse acceleration, you should edit the system file manually. You should also make a copy of this file before you change anything in it.
You can find the configuration file at the following location:
C:\Users\your_username\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base
the file is called DOOMConfig.cfg. Open it with notepad, find the line with m_smooth and change the value from 1 to 0.
How to disable auto aim in Doom 4 (2016)?
Unfortunately, at the moment it is not possible to disable auto aim in DOOM. Maybe in subsequent patches the developers will add this feature.
How in Doom 4 (2016) skip the intro?
If you are tired of watching the splash screen every time before starting the game, then you can easily disable it using simple manipulations with the game .exe file, which is located in the root folder. Right click on exe for someone who starts the game, go to “Properties” and just write
“+ com_skipIntroVideo 1” without quotes and click “Apply”. That's it, the initial screen saver will no longer appear.
Enjoy your game!
Tell friends:
All problems are fixed with a new patch for Doom 4.
1. Doom 4 doesn't work(not working) how to fix
Doom 4 does not work on weak computers or computers without a patch.
To fix it you need to download and install Doom 4 Patch 1.02.
During installation, close the game and other Doom-related applications.
We install in the folder with the installed game Doom.
Reboot the PC. Let's launch Doom. The first launch may take longer than subsequent ones. This is due to texture optimization.
This patch also significantly increases FPS in both single-player and multiplayer games.
2. Doom 4 won't start(not starting, not launching) how to fix
To fix it you need to do everything that is written in point 1! Doom 4 may not launch due to not meeting the minimum system requirements. It is also recommended to check for updated driver versions.
3. Doom 4 black screen(black screen) how to fix
The black screen can be fixed in the same way by installing a patch. If the patch does not help, then it is recommended to update the graphics card drivers. The black screen issue was resolved with the first update of the game.
This patch also fixes the following bugs:
On startup Doom 4 error 0xc000007b
On startup Doom 4 error 0xc0000005
On startup Doom 4 error APPCRASH
On startup Doom 4 application error
On startup Doom 4 error black screen
Doom 4 missing msvcp120.dll msvcr120.dll error
Doom 4 Failed to initialize DirectX 10 11 error
Doom 4 DLL not found, NVIDIA AMD Driver not responding
After a lean few years, fans of classic shooters are finally starting to get pampered by game developers all over again. Covering systems, scripts and self-healing for health, although they should still be very good, but somewhere in the middle it gets easier for titles that are the basis of desperately searching for kits and John Rambo-style open combat after a very, very bad day. Also coming with great strides Rock (on a several-year-long fashion - lost somewhere along the path of bad quality in the title) put on the decisions that its namesake more than twenty years ago helped create the basis for most FPS. The climate of terror, characterized by issued more than ten years ago, "three", will be significantly punished, will take its place and the brutal and dynamic slaughter legions of hell.
