DOOM’s first post-launch game update is coming June 30th to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Steam. Update #1 introduces several new features, including a Photo Mode for taking in-game screenshots, and a new weapon placement view option, which centers your weapons similar to the original game. The update also includes improvements, optimizations and fixes for more commonly reported bugs. See below for a full list of everything in Update #1.


Earlier this month, we also implemented a multiplayer improvement patch, which shortened lobby load times and balanced some of the multiplayer weapons based on your feedback. You can read more about that here.

Note: The update will automatically download for Xbox One and Steam users. PlayStation 4 users will need to enable “automatic updates” within their console settings to ensure that they download the update automatically, or can download manually through system settings.

CTRL-F 'Vulkan'. Darn.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

" Added Classic DOOM weapon placement/view model option (all modes)"

neat!

 

[DSix]

No Vulkan. For id, is "very close to release" even in the same quarter?

 

[RoadDogg]

Will it fix all of the unlockables (figures, classic maps, etc) that have been disappearing or never unlocking in the PC version for me? I was disappointed to see devmode kick in on its own since I was too far in to bother starting over from the beginning. But then unlockables started disappearing and classic maps unlocked at all. I can't go back and re-unlock them either since the maps all show them as found.

 

[JaseC]

CTRL-F 'Vulkan'. Darn.

I read the release date (the day after the RX 4xx cards launch) and was certain Vulkan support would be among the notes.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

CTRL-F 'Vulkan'. Darn.

Basically. This isn't close to release at all. I've been putting off a replay until Vulkan. Guess I'll wait longer

 

[Ricerocket]

Can't go back until they do away with the 2 weapon loadout in snapmap and 12 AI limit.

 

[EvilKatarn]

PHOTO MODE!!!!

This will be a fun diversion on my road to Platinum.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Holy shit photo mode?/

 

[capylikesgames]

So I guess Vulkan's being pushed back farther? Kind of excited to see what comes of that, honestly. Hopefully this patch helps the PC version from dropping to the 30s after playing for a while (or at least, it does that on my rig). The classic viewmodel looks neat, too! I'm glad they're giving the option.

I've been waiting to replay it as well, though I don't think it'd be taking this long unless they're really squeezing out as much as they can out of Vulkan. Who knows? The performance bump could turn out to be pretty decent.

 

[atbigelow]

Hopefully fixes a lot of instability I've got on PC. Also aptly timed as I was waiting to finish the game after I bought an RX 480.

Soon, my precious...

EDIT: Also sad about no Vulkan yet. :/

 

[Jakartalado]

TROPHY FIX!!!!

I hope the first thing that pops after this update is my platinum trophy.

 

[SumptuousLemur]

" Added Classic DOOM weapon placement/view model option (all modes)"

neat!

Awesome! I thought this was going to be for the Classic Maps only!

 

[Neo_Barrad]

NO SLI profile for proper Nightmare shadow scaling =\ god_damn

 

[Karspankey]

I didn't know that I wanted to have my view model like that until now. Photo mode as well? Time to finish Doom my friends!

 

[Melkezadek]

This game can be even greater if they just feed it.

 

[MaverickHunterX]

Trophies fixed?!

 

[Drain You]

It's funny my buddy joked about how the weapon should be in the center of the screen last week. Didn't even know this was incoming, awesome.

 

[Hellgardia]

And apparently some new achievements:

 

[metareferential]

No SLI yet?

 

[DeathSparks]

Here's the classic centered weapon display option in action, the official DOOM twitter just posted this

Apologizes for the poor image quality, that's just how they uploaded it.

 

[Akuun]

Fixing that dev mode bug will help a lot. That's fucked over a lot of people's saves.

I hope it also fixes some of the crashing. As great as the game is, it's really annoying to always worry about the game fucking up on you, especially at Nightmare and UNM.

 

[DouglasteR]

Ctrl+F + VIVE = No entries.

Really ?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I wonder if theyll fix the glitch to do ultra nightmare trophy/achievement easily.

[NealMcCauley]

Okay centered weapon looks really cool.

Interested to see how photo mode will work.

Man they even made it smoothly roll into the center like its a hand movement.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Fuck it, I have a 10 mile long backlog, I might just replay DOOM instead.

[The Lamonster]

[Raptor]

Achieving perfection baby!!

 

[sikkinixx]

So I should get the first mission on ultra-nightmare hardcore whatever trophy via the skip glitch now eh?

 

[mercenar1e]

not buying until the game receives the Vulkan update.. it should be discounted heavily by then.

Time to play it a third time.

And photo mode is nice, game looks so great.

 

[Jeb]

-Quit to desktop bug fix
-dev mode bug fix

Both of these make me a really happy man.

Just a couple of days ago I was downright furious over these on PC.

I'm getting fed up with how much I have to deal with problems like these on PC, really affecting my enthusiasm for PC gaming.

I actually prefer the regular view, but I like that there is such an option for nostalgic fans.

Woah. Can't wait to try this with the aiming reticle turned off.

 

[InfiniteNine]

I just want the Vulkan renderer so I can play it at a higher fidelity with a stable frame-rate while I wait for non-founders 1080. ;~;

 

[Octavianus]

Added Classic DOOM weapon placement/view model option (all modes)

Does this mean what I think it means?

Edit: Sweet, yes it does..

 

[nailbombxx]

Awesome, it should have been like this by default

 

[jim2point0]

PC pretty much already has a photo mode

Maybe I'll try theirs out though.

 

[Mr Swine]

Really nice update, too bad about no Vulcan support. Guess they canned it then?

 

[OneLessIcon]

I just got DOOM for Father's Day and it's the first 2016 game I've played so far. I couldn't be happier. Wish I was home playing it right now! Looks and sounds so amazing on the big home theatre system. Can't wait to try centered weapon placement - what a simple and smart throwback!
