I have 150 Mbps Internet and it took about an hour to download. This unpacking process will take me no longer than 15 minutes. I doubt very much you have the 500 Mbps Internet necessary to make your statement true.

Sigh... this game took me about 23 hours to download on shitty Australian internet and about 10 minutes to unpack. You don't know how good you guys have it.

I've got the same speed you do, and I'm at 20 minutes so far and about halfway done.

I've finally come to the realization that this decryption process renders the whole pre-load process pointless. I can probably download the whole file in the amount of time it takes to decrypt.

Yep. Steam's decryption on less than modern hardware leaves a lot to be desired. Even on SSDs with more recent CPUs it takes around 15 minutes. I'm sitting on a multi-year old 1TB HDD and an i5-2500k and decryption is just the worst thing.

Went to best buy to pick up a few things I ordered for in-store pickup and lady tried to give me my copy of Doom. System stopped her :-/
Oh well will pick my copy up tomorrow.

 

[RyudBoy]

Finally done unpacking. Let's do this!

Spoiler tag your shit.

 

[Nizz]

Important question for me, how's the framerate on PS4 for those who've played it there? Is it as solid as the open beta was? Damn, I am broke (actually cancelled an Uncharted 4 pre-order) but these impressions of Doom really have me wanting the game.

 

[zeioIIDX]

Updating Doom. Ready to launch in an hour

 

[FatalT]

I'm tired of these day one patches. 5.427 GB to download on PS4. Uncharted 4 had about a 5 GB day one patch as well. Blarg!

No problems thus far.

Spoiler tag your shit.

If you want me to spoiler tag something, you might not want to quote my post. Also not seeing anything worth spoiler tagging.

 

[george_us]

Now THAT's how you open a game.

 

[TheRed]

Finally done unpacking! Took 25 minutes on SSD.

 

[Onemic]

yeah should fps veterans play this on ultra violence or nightmare?

Ultra violence

 

[Mifec]

rip and tear friendo, until it is done.

 

[dcelw540]

I await DSP's playthrough.

But seriously he's not the worst out there. Some games he's good and kinda shitty at others.

 

[Ricerocket]

Mouse smoothing is on by default in this game...

m_smooth 0 to turn it off. There is m_smoothing too which is weird.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Apparently adding this to your launch options on PC makes aiming a lot better

+set m_smooth 0

Thanks for this! Will try if it makes a difference.

I swear the game doesn't feel like it has mouse smoothing on. Just upped sensitivity to 6.5 or so.

Where can you find the .ini?

 

[Mr Swine]

Meeeh, I want to play for 15 minutes but it will take 30mminutes to unpack and I have to leave to work in 40 :/

Don't bother. Just work your shift and then rush back home and bask in its glory. The wait will be worth it.

Oh I do hope so, I'm lucky that my Friday shifts are only 4 hours long

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Ultra Violence.

Yeah but is that too hard? I don't want to turn it into a hide behind cover shooter if things get too hard...

 

[User 479360]

Picked it up. 20 hours to download, though.

 

[Onemic]

You wont be hiding behind cover. You'll just be moving around. A lot.

There is a ton of verticality in the game and ultra violence really makes you use it to your advantage.

The Vulcan demo is a good idea of how you'll be approaching fights in ultra violence.

 

[leng jai]

Is the sound mixing shit like it was in the beta? I don't have much faith in ID when it comes to audio.

 

[A-V-B]

It is taking forever to allocate disk space!!

 

[ShutterMunster]

I hate to be that guy, but any word on console differences? The Elite controller makes multi-plat purchases more difficult than they used to be 😂

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

No day-one patch on PC?

 

[Movalpolos]

PS4 version has better resolution and no tearing.

 

[bathsalts]

Hiding in cover would make it even harder, just give yourself a bit of time to learn the enemy patterns maybe you'll eat a couple fireballs that seem cheap, buts it very rewarding being able to mix it up in close with monsters using creative movement to close gaps and work to the strength of the weapons.

 

[BlackBanditSho]

These thread impressions....

is...

is id Software back!?

Id never left. Doom 3 was of divided opinion ( I loved it), but was a technical marvel in its day. Rage had a shit ending and a tacked on car mode, but was easily one of the best looking and playing shooters of last generation. Id is good.

 

[matrixman92]

gonna need a nerf on that chaingun. How could they possibly think thats ok. Its the new shotgun from the beta. Everyone is using it in matches

 

[Conor_Fool]

Is there any reason a PC code I bought online wouldn't be working right now in the US? I hope I'm not screwed

 

[Schnozberry]

Anyone having issues with being capped at 60fps? Am I missing something on PC?

That's down to V-Sync, isn't it?

Yeah you say that but then Doom 4 was in development hell for years and they very much threatened to shut down if it didn't go right.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

So does this game look amazing graphically? I haven't been following too closely.

 

[Chiggs]

42 minutes and it's still unpacking/updating.

 

[wenis]

10 more minutes for the update to finish....

faster faster

 

[dogen]

Id never left.

Actually they all left a while ago.

 

[hlhbk]

How do you get rid of all of the stupid opening logos? It takes like 30 seconds each time the game loads.

 

[george_us]

This game is the truth.

 

[Comrade Crunch]

For those who have played it, I loved the AI and hit animations of enemies in Rage, how are those two things in DOOM?

 

[SmartWaffles]

Add +set com_skipIntroVideo 1 to launch options.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Actually they all left a while ago.

Even so, it's nice that the "new" Id can still make a great game.

 

[Herbshire]

Am I able to host my own dedicated server for multiplayer? Or is it matchmaking?

I can't any info so far.

 

[Sesuadra]

The alternate cover looks as good as the game is.
