Make sure you're not logged into steam on your phone as well, I seem to recall that tripped me up when I was trying to unlock some other game early

It was this. As soon as I logged out on the Steam app on my phone and restarted steam it started unpacking.

Thanks muchly

Edit : uh, it hard freezes and crashes my system on title screen. Not good

Should we stay on the VPN the entire time we're downloading the game, or is it okay to log off once the download has started?

I am a bootlicking scab who loves seeing people be paid less than living wages. If the workers don't like it they should just kill themselves. Let me know who is organizing so I can report them to management. I pine for the days of the Pinkertons.
I logged off after I got the game running and have been able exit and restart as I please without using the VPN. (on Beth launcher)

The enemy AI and especially movement AI is totally bonkers.

In a slayer gate, I just had a pack of imps actually cutting me off. One of them attacking me from the front, the other two changing their direction to get around and behind me so I was nearly unable to move.

This game doesn't gently caress around one bit. Too many wrong decisions in regard to which weapon and mod, where to run, and what ressources to fill up, and you're dead.

It's absolutely brilliant.

My main complaint at the moment (playing on a widescreen display) is that I have trouble keeping up with what cooldowns are still running, because as soon as I look to the lower right, I eat some attacks/projectiles (since the enemies all lead their shots pretty good). Would be cool if id adds the possibility to have some colored dots around the aiming reticle that indicate what's ready and what not, so you don't have to take your eyes away from what's going on.

I guess I got the short stick - game is completely hosed for me. It's just a black screen on the title menu with 'esc=exit' on the bottom left, I have to kill it via task manager, which then hard locks my computer and stops the display output. What the gently caress man.

Is there a way to open it in windowed mode?

Looks like others are having the same problem: https://steamcommunity.com/app/782330/discussions/0/1867245431035099570/

Pre-ordered the PC version on Amazon and didn't realize they're sending it in the mail. I'm guessing I'm getting a box with a code. It's been so long since I've bought a PC game that wasn't just an emailed code.

Tunnel bear tip is good! I was worried VPN would cost something, but there's a free option - it has a 500MB limit but you should be fine if you're just unpacking the game.

Download the game off VPN
Exit steam
Connect to VPN
Unpack game
*LAUNCH GAME*
Disconnect from VPN

The first launch I had to be on the VPN for it to work.

Not sure what I think about 1UPs carrying one between levels. I found like 5 in the first level and used none of them yet, but it feels like cheating.

Sorry to hear that Shoehead. I was recently laid off myself. Dang coronavirus is wrecking the economy.

You have to press F to bring out the flashlight. But be warned, you can't shoot at the same time you have your flashlight out, so it's a tactical decision.

The UI color changes are super nice. "Demon" is straight up hotline miami, look at the health bars. Its not just that things are neon pink / cyan / orange, but they even did color gradients in the bars!!!



The other schemes to compare:









Not pictured: "Amber" which is all amber

Look at how it changes the menus

I tried turning off VPN and I went back to not being able to play. But the game comes out for real tonight before midnight even, so we won't have to VPN for long.

That scaling caused some problems in other games here, I've added it among the usual list of 'update video drivers', 'restart pc', checks when something goes wrong

The first thing that happened when I launched the game is a warning that I should update my video driver before playing. :pcgaming:

It seems Nvidia and AMD released Doom Eternal game ready drivers earlier today.

So many cool things to keybind Im running out of places to put them. That's not a sleight against the game mind you. More of a personal luxury problem.

When you get the airdash can you trigger it with a doubled tap, Unreal style?

Yeah, you have to launch the game directly via the .exe though (it's in bethesda games launcher > games > Doom eternal), the launcher just says 'preload' again. Everything works just fine ingame, you can even log in on the main screen.

Silly me updating my driver's yesterday thinking they would have had that stuff done even before the early access and review copies were released and not same day.
