Still not sure if i should spend 10 euros on a Beta Key from Wolfenstein off of key websites. Anyone done this yet and successful registered and waiting for the Steam key to be sent?

no, you had to register your key on http://doom-beta.wolfenstein.com/en-gb/

You really going to answer my question with an answer to a question i didn't ask?

you can go into gamestop after 6pm on the 1st and get a beta key

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-get-d...0-6435537/

thank you

Got my copy as a gift, as a pre-order. Not seeing a code anywhere :( Did get the TF2 items a pre-order came with though.

Edit: Seems Steam users are already entered.

this pretty much sums up how the game will be...

here the day of doom thing, the second game is best for esport wannabes

https://youtu.be/0-kfIrneQWE?t=1h24m57s



second map or whatever

ban the guy in the green shirt from the solar system please.

edit: ban them all

Wow... this game should be easy money for any one who wants to put time in coming from a quake background... during alpha I schooled everybody during matchmaking

Thierry Henry!

they said its gona be available worldwide for everyone? wtf?... prolly a mistake?

Where is the part related to esports?

Just watching them try and aim the LG is making me cringe

why the fuck did we pre order wolfenstein 2 years ago for them to just hand out beta keys for free at gaymstop........?? I never intended to buy this game but if I was ever going to I'm not now. let Id soft burn to shit

handing beta keys out on amazon uk, which should be for all pre-orders on amazon, its probably just the orders placed since the lame message has been on the page which is retarded

New multiplayer sneak preview hands-on nitty gritty pedal to the metal first look by "Gronkh", a German "Let's Play" 'er

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUnrMz84-II

got to the end, thought he was still saying his name

I'm not sure I understand

my name is, is in english, the rest is in german

reflex looks so much better

doom will be a good single player game i'm pretty sure of it. But the multiplayer will just be meh. MP for consoles.

i'm quite sure also that it will encounter a relatively large success especially amongst console players.

multiplayer will be fun for casual players, or hardcore players, but not for real high skilled and "pro" players.
I mean, if you play quake competitively, doom won't be for you.

it's not the next quake and it doesn't aim to replace quake. Different target audience.






for me it's reflex, quakelive and starcraft 2 for evah :p

why does the announcer sound bored beyond belief

I am also bored watching complete noobs run around strafe aiming slowly using a controller thinking they are hitting amazing shots ...

only care about the announcer, sorry

in german its voice from data ( android from star trek)

o_O

Minimum spec (720p)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (2GB) or better

Really? A 2Gb card is the minimum? fuck, ive got a nice 750sc but with 1 gb : (

enable image compression

Thanks mr. resident idtech guru :D

word, paypal me the money using give_p0rt_some_money@mail.com

you might always be able to move the glcache to a SSD or game drive, which would make more sense if texture streaming is reading from the same drive, read 2 drives at the same time is always twice as slow

http://us.download.nvidia.com/solaris/346.35/...ables.html >

OpenGL Shader Disk Cache

The NVIDIA OpenGL driver utilizes a shader disk cache. This optimization benefits some applications, by reusing shader binaries instead of compiling them repeatedly. The related environment variables __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE and __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH, as well as the GLShaderDiskCache X configuration option, allow fine-grained configuration of the shader cache behavior. The shader disk cache:

is always disabled for indirect rendering

is always disabled for setuid and setgid binaries

by default, is disabled for direct rendering when the OpenGL application is run as the root user

by default, is enabled for direct rendering when the OpenGL application is run as a non-root user

The GLShaderDiskCache X configuration option forcibly enables or disables the shader disk cache, for direct rendering as a non-root user.

The following environment variables configure shader disk cache behavior, and override the GLShaderDiskCache configuration option:
Environment Variable Description
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE (boolean) Enables or disables the shader cache for direct rendering.
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH (string) Enables configuration of where shader caches are stored on disk.

If __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH is unset, caches will be stored in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/.nv/GLCache if XDG_CACHE_HOME is set, or in $HOME/.nv/GLCache if HOME is set. If none of the environment variables __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH, XDG_CACHE_HOME, or HOME is set, the shader cache will be disabled. Caches are persistent across runs of an application. Cached shader binaries are specific to each driver version; changing driver versions will cause binaries to be recompiled.

nice

look for a cache location cvar, and your all good, ./base folder

the rage cache in the user folder gets cleared when you shut the game down, so user folders is pointless

What did you expect from a budget card?

250fps?

o_o

So i just watched a famous YouTuber playing the Beta, he used some kind of Railgun in-game, i was like " heh nice " and then he said " and i no scoped the enemy just now, this game reminds me of the good days of Call of Duty "

...............

youtube is a bunch of newbie kiddies
what else is new?

hah lg has 8 dmg :)

gg

I received my xbox one beta key yesterday, will probably be better on consoles anyway.

doubt it https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/4ck6cp/picmip_possible/

What game is this Doom 4 of which you speak?

omg there are arrows showing where to go direction....

Wish I had those in real life

Cinematic trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBYJZdIMGIk

hah nice1 :D

i wanna see Lirik and his gang of berrys stream the shit out of doom.

Will it be 60 FPS max game?

no, choices are 60, 90, 120 and 144. Fov is changable too.

That already something good :)

Is there strafe jumping?

No.

Guide to enjoying Doom for experienced Quake players:

Step 1: Pre-order
Step 2: Do not watch any streams of the beta
Step 3: Do not read any reviews
Step 4: Do not watch anything related to Doom coverage on any platform
Step 5: Launch day, load up the game. Change everything to lowest possible graphics. Increase fov, get sens/accel right, try to find a way to enable the console, turn off all chat.
Step 6: Jump into servers, destroy everyone mercilessly, pretend you've gone back in time to the late 90's when everyone was new and you have a huge advantage because of 16 years of modern Q3/QL skills.

I wonder how long you will enjoy it.

"Step 5: Launch day, load up the game. Change everything to lowest possible graphics. Increase fov, get sens/accel right, try to find a way to enable the console, turn off all chat. "

you wish lmao. Cant change shit in graphic setting, you cannot set fov, there is no accel, mouse feels like crap with 60 fps cap, you disable blur but it still in the game. This game is a piece of crap its literally cod

Agreed! All this videos and betas sustract from the experience the day you really start playing it...

damn time fraggers!

just watched a stream, god it's bad, bastardization of my childhood and every id software game ever.

they do have to make money you know.

what the shit is this fov? people jumping on me from above and i have no idea whats happening. maybe i could tell where the dmg comes if i woulndt have 120 other effect on my screen.

still locked at 60fps, causing huge freakin mouselag.

and FORCED MOTIONBLURRRRRRRRR

yeah this is driving me crazy

I can't even play because of this since my mouse is lagging so much it's hard to even pinpoint a menu items haha

V-sync off?

:(

The game already fails at the most basic level. I can't setup key bindings properly. It seems impossible to bind jump to mouse2.

And god knows why there are some hardcoded binds.

Indeed, the alpha was better in that regard.... when you couldn't modify anything.


wp, Bethesda. Somehow I knew it was gonna suck, thanks for the confirmation!

Don't worry I'm sure it's going to work fine on consoles!

That's it. They'll just focus on consoles, more $$$ less effort

cmon, its DOOM not quek, u dont even need to jump FFS !!!

Even the fucking announcer sounds as interesting as watching a sloth go take a shit once in a month.

Seriously how can you fuck up a game like that with a pedigree like id software has, and yes Doom 3 mp was shit, but not as shit as this, Quake 4 mp was bad, not as bad as this.

Basically they did a fucking 180 on everything they had and made a generic CoD shooter. It's like we took everything you loved from id software shooters and turned it into shit and gave you the option to color your gun purple and put fancy decals on it which you wont see and don't matter fuck all, and hey you can also customize your armor but it doesn't matter, cause in game you're either blue or red anyway, but we wasted time giving you the options.

And most importantly we gave you in-game voicecoms which you can turn off, but not really, because we love mouth breathers.

But it has XP progression system! And unlocks! And loadouts! All the other games are doing it so we have to too!

but they do. why am I the only one seeing this? for the game to be remotely anywhere near as successful as its name says, it needs all those things, for better or worse.

Exactly. Big disappointment :(

Sound in general is weak.
Especially footsteps and rl needs to be louder or I have to make 180 degree turn every 5 seconds.

Not to worry, Kukki. There's LG in this game you can practice your LG tutorials and how much your LG percentage improved.

thank you.

Game looks absolutely stunning, ID nailed it in the graphic department. It has many flaws and it will never be Quake but it seems that this game has great potential.

all i see is guyz plaing on controlers :( ... still havent seen how doom handless on PC -master race.

you can witness perfection of never being off the bottom of the score board, rocking the ti 750 and a 3g internet connection



posted my config https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/4ctrv1...rs/d1lo05p

That explosion looks amazing.

owned :-)

i was making a config, i just connect then get bored, then find a few more cvars to tweak

then the pause half way through is windows showing the low memory message, which happens every game, so you have to disable it

if the engine stays the same, then you need 16gb of ram minimum, not 8gb, and 4gb vram if you want chomatic aberration on in video settings

how the fuck you can change your name in this closed beta Doom? :P

This must be an April Fools...

That announcer doesn't even sound passionate enough to be used in an elevator. Not even sure what kind of mood they were trying to set with it, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't supposed to sound like a robot calling for a cashier.

gay robot announcer.

"demon possssssession.... mmmmmmm"

if you want a code just post in https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/4cw338...g_to_keep/ and the bot will reply with a code

so first view free code : H4PPY-4PR1L-F00L5
they just taking the piss

Would be better if the announcer was the stereotypical gay voice "well, I guess you're an revenant now papa bear. oh!"

fuck i missed the giveaway :(

Some faith restored, maxfps setting in the currently greyed out Advanced settings menu:
http://imgur.com/a/KXqId

And fov option confirmed by the lead engine developer:
https://twitter.com/SwnSng/status/716156186215591937

are you gona stream some doom today m8?

and yes that 120fps option GOOOOOOOLD! :)

120FPS, dude are you back from the eighties? 144HZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Oh 24 hz more SUCH A DIFFERENCE

I wonder if editing your cfg like in any other id's game will be possible. Or if this game will be actually moddable...

Is the MP really only p2p, so no dedicated servers like in Rage?

Supposedly dedicated servers hosted on bethesda.net backend, altho pings were pretty high yesterday, the second alpha test played way better in this regard.

It was possible to start dedicated and listen servers in the cracked alpha and even play via the server browser (since it used steamworks and they didn't block it).

rage has dedicated servers, you download it in steam workshop, where you download the tool kit

Last time I checked Rage had no workshop support and you could only download the toolkit from the tools section. Did I miss something?

theres a rage dedicated server listed on mine

no?

there is no rage on game listed on steam, so the rage on demo dedicated server would be for rage

no!

Noctis, have you been able to find any config commands related to knockback? Is there any hope of rocket jumping and other weapon knockback from LG, SG, etc?

I haven't really looked for anything like that, was too busy playing. :)

If i had to guess then i'd probably say no, there is no hope for knockback.

You should change your name to soulcrusher :(

i get nothing but a black screen for the beta.... Hopefully they just decide to release the game like that because it'll probably a better game that way

My take on doom so far

- slow
- slower
- slower than new call of duties


Next:
I do have a bit of an older machine but far cry 4 or any newer game when I kill motion blur and most of the post processing settings start to fly....and Doom is locked with forced blur and 60fps cap.....

Since this is still a beta I will go over that and wait for the final product, there is a greyed out advanced option button in the settings but we don't have access to it yet so far....will see in the future or maybe last beta if there is one more before the final release.

Because of the blur and fps cap, I experience ultra laggish mouse cursor which is impossible to control in the menus and I will not even talk about the in game....


MP:
As before, nothing changed except maps have more teleporters, more small pickup items such as shards, jump pads and few new areas, but the movement is as described in the begining of the post.


Config:
For those who have problems with binding their key, I just changed everything inside default.cfg which is located Doom Closed Beta > base
and it works fine.

Scrolling through the cfg settings I also found two interesting cvars for jumping/movement and those are:

pm_allowStrafeJumpBoost 0
pm_allowRampJumpBoost 0

This is the most interesting thing to me, since I can allready see when the game comes out, with snapmap and mod community....there will be more or less few days since we are presented with strafe-ramp-quake'ish style movement system.


There is still hope,
Until then reflex/quakelive

Till next time.
Cheers :)

someone linked this in twitch chat today:

https://imgur.com/a/KXqId

why on earth are the requirements so high?
from what I've seen it looks a lot like Doom 3 with gore, just a bit more detailed.

The game doesn't look any better than last wolfenstein....and last wolfenstein works smooth on my machine compared to this twitchy game so far...

Do you have glasses? If yes are you sure you have the right ones? If not, is your screen turned on?

It looks pretty much like retextured original DOOM

i thought it looked the same as e.t. on the atari

what? it can't hold a candle to e.t. on the atari

That's all I need

time to upgrade your fisher price kiddo computer to a real computer.

on alpha leak i got 15-25 fps on my 3ghz duo core and 7700 1gb gfx.

low settings? resolution?

ofc low, res i think lowet was around 1024/1200ish?

gstructor dont be bothered you wont like the anouncer. :)

: )

I wont be playing multiplayer anyway...

twitch.tv/cookieahaha
streaming (almost ) all day til sunday night
lg/sg/rifles

goddamn i wanna play this game.

"Dämonenbesessenheit" is not a good German translation of the term "demon posession" in my opinion. "Dämonenwahn" would have been better. Or, taking into account the announcer's politeness, "Dämonenverzückung".

It all sounds very evil to me, as expected of German.

the guy in the green shirt seems like a quake player.

i am surprised on how unresponsive this community was to the closed doom beta. This site truly is a quake only site.

Or maybe because esr nowadays is partially dead? :)

it is isnt it?

i had, you can have quake 5



teh default network settings are fucking useless, i made my own which are in http://www.doom4world.com/forum.php?nxt=topic...mp;forum=5

and they stop the network message loop game crash

It could also be because it's a closed beta so not many from this community managed to try it.

noctis showed some nice plays on doom.

It takes a quake god to make Doom look good?

just needs some hardcore

Well where's your writeup about your gameplay impressions?

i didnt said every one should make a review... but since it was up for 3 days on twitch, so ppl can watch it... there was hell of a little noise about it. And since it is beta opinions matter to some degree.

Not saying anything, will give devs free hands to leave in some features that would, if some one talk about it, potential leave them out or change them for final release.

We all know how esr was fucking laud about some features in the alpha.

Like said above, closed beta. Also, its a Doom skinned Halo with everyones favourite: Loadouts.

That said, having only seen it via twitch, I wouldnt mind casually playing this for a bit if I can find a key for a low price.

http://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/doom-pc-cd-key-steam

Cheaper than steam.

aint that bad https://community.bethesda.net/thread/6157

"its a Doom skinned Halo"

and thats supposed to be bad?

Doom open beta April 15-17

https://twitter.com/DOOM/status/717716413629218817

Dont forget to mention the other good news!

3 planned DLC's at 15 eur each, or a Season Pass for 40 eur.

Each DLC will contain 1 new weapon, 2 or 3 new maps, 1 new demon, and some armor/perks.

Bethesda doing what Bethesda does best.

I actually had some fun playing, DOOM is a SP experience to me and will always be but it is still going to be some fun at release.

Why is there a mass need to bitch about Quake specific features not in DOOM? If you are bored of Quake then Quake with DOOM reskin is not the answer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd2GIe_lIFo

that looks pretty fun.
the other vids make it look super shitty

this is true... but still rocket jumps and weapon knockback in general should be included.

soft, you have aload of armor, probably playing aload of level 1`s

http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4086

Developer id Software has teamed up with Certain Affinity to develop the multiplayer part of DOOM. It is not the first time Certain Affinity has partnered with a well-known studio to work exclusively on the multiplayer segment of a game; the studio has contributed to the multiplayer development of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Halo 4, amongst others.

So they are know for creating a crappy MP experience...

[+]

Guess what people. It plays like a shitty version of Halo 4 too.

Doesn't seem to me like they're expecting it to launch as a successful multiplayer. Good intentions perhaps but the execution is eh.

its just modern games with arena maps, instead of the same old rubbish that dies a few month after release

everyone talks about UT 4 alpha on steam, reddit, beth forums, still nobody is playing it

they are all just crying about doom not being a tedius arena game, they cry about reflex, openwatch, every game, all the babies arn`t really worth caring about after 10 years of the same old rubbish on every game, so its time for something new probably

then if you bother to spend time on those forums, you realize this place is kind of normal

heh doom is somewhat playable on my 10 year old PC lol.. i got 20-50 fps diffrence depending on where i am on the map.

Now i just need port to make a low settings cfg that actually gets more FPS :)

EE are too shit and i can`t be bothered with the game

so the game has a lightninggun, super shotgun and heavy machinegun. Interesting. Only thing missing now is strafe jumping.

and there is also a railgun-like weapon and a rocket launcher as well as a plasmarifle. So yeah, basically there's no weapon missing, at least when you come from quake and old doom. That's nice imho.

Watched a lot of gameplay videos, game looks more fun than overwatch. I might try it if i can get 144fps stable on lowest settings. If i can get 144fps on highest settings that would be amazing, but i'm like 95% sure that it won't be the case.

if i can't get 144fps stable on lowest settings with an i5-6500, 8GB of ram, and GTX 970 4GB, then fuck this game. No point playing on anything lower than 144 with a 144hz monitor. At least for a multiplayer FPS game. For single player i don't care much as long as i can get 60fps or higher, but for multiplayer 144fps is the minimum.
I'm way too used to reflex and ql smoothness with 250fps stable in any situation.

What the point of playing a multiplayer "fast-paced" fps with a 144hz monitor if you can't get at least 144fps ?

anything over 60fps only makes particle fx look better

Seems to be getting panned in pre-release steam review, will download and have a quick blast, but if its shit I'm pulling it off my hard drive faster than I'm pulling a black man off my sister.

they are all the pussies who need picmip and can`t play on a lan

i always thought you are black.

... great time sucking out the fun.

you`ll be own3d with just a mouse

People are so desperate for the Second Coming of Quake that they parallel DOOM franchise to Quake.

Guys.

People behind this revival know full well that it will be driven by nostalgia sake. Middle-aged guys like me will buy it because of the legendary status and hope for recapturing the magic of our youth. Or they will buy it for their children to let them see. And teenagers/young adults will buy it because of exactly the same reason - some mythology of early FPSs that they heard about and hipsterlike nostalgia.

Now. If the very same people who revive DOOM want to keep people in the game and revive the franchise into a full swing (this might be a one-shot money grab though, to see what happens) which demographics will they target? How many middle-aged guys have time for games? How many of them will continue to do so? But the youngsters, they're the prime money cow here. So probably the game will be a lot like any other generic futuristic FPS.

Unless someone steps in and proves that trickjumping, strafejumping, exploiting physics etc will get back into vogue like it's 90s again. Sorry, that won't happen.

So IF they leave/build these elements in the game, they will most certainly be optional - like UT mutators. Modern players are not used to them, and while it's still a niche that lives it's a NICHE not MAINSTREAM.

I'll buy DOOM4 for single player, and maybe - just maybe - play some MP. What for, I don't know. The one I see on gameplay vids looks unappealing to me. Slow, slow slow.

well said.

About the MP speed i would say its not slow and its not quake fast, but its something in between. ... lets say when there are multiple targets on screen it can get rather fast and hectic.

>bastardized weapons and mechanics from quake
>NO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO COMPARE IT TO QUAKE!

If you enjoy eating shit that's fine but attempting to rationalize your poor choices with mental gymnastics is hurting only you chief.

... ID is sitting on golden goose MP experience called quake, it co-started e-sports ffs... they just ... i do not know why, they do not want to except it.... OR they want to cash it in ... (which i don't mind) with future plans -new quake... please let his be the case.

doom as much as i want it to be the new quake, is doom, it is not quake, thank god. If they would actually go on with a new quake, it can be so much more awesome then anything else atm (blood, gothic sinister, cyber, metal, ...., they just have to let the fuck go of the console mentality ... it can co-exist as its own world, but true high performance of skill will only show by key/mouse pro players -not comparable by console pro players.

i want to add, we all know and enjoy esr funny troll drama, like the ladies like their santa barbara. And ofc that is nothing new, we all know internet communitys and ppl in general love some "real life" drama (all kind stuff grows from it).

I didn't do any research, regarding console - key/mouse wars" - if there was any amature and/or official tournament/confrontation. But maybe make that a thing for quake5 and with that a PR thing. Heck i guess you could talk to big players/companys who would like to increase their PC market share.

Is there bots in this game? I have a feeling I already know the answer

All these fucking vids on jewtube and not a single flawless ownage video where somebody makes it look easy. Just a bunch of dickhead streamers who can't even aim let alone have any awareness. Can anyone link one, just one video where somebody plays well in this beta and doesn't use a joystick....

Check vods on noctis twitch channel.

Def check out Noctis play, he was ripping people apart on his stream.

Coming from quake, I can tell you the game got very easy very quickly. After about 3 hours play and getting used to it I was coming top 3, by end of 10 hours I was getting like up over 30 frags a TDM game.

I think that was one thing that made it a bit boring for me, but I guess more maps, players, powerups etc will add a bit more fun before it eventually becomes easy and boring again.

VOD of me after about 4 hours gameplay, came top in each of these games: https://www.twitch.tv/crisfnx/v/61063442 or youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr4FHVP7Rzw

I get what you mean but think about it this way. Would it still be easy if you played for example Noctis? Maybe most of the people you played against were totally new to these types of games? I mean its not a big genre so totally understandable if people dont know shit.

Thanks guys, finally something enjoyable to watch :)

Damn how could anyone dodge lg with that movement speed. I watched first few mins and I think you hit like 90% lg :)

Pretty good review of the beta: he nails a lot of things I felt on the head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztdKziK_aAs

you felt him while he was banging your head... interesting, interesting.
