Game is not launching

[M.F DOOM]

I'm sorry, am i literally the only one who can't play right now? I've tried setting launch options, updating my drivers, and re-installing. Nothing seems to be working, is it because of my graphics card? i have a 4090 so i thought it wouldn't be a problem

you're not the only one, i'm on a 4070 and all i get is 5-10 seconds of a black screen before the game crashes. i've tried almost every recommended fix and still can't get it to launch. giving them another couple days to patch it before i refund, hopefully they're at least aware of the issue by now

this is so wild that they let it even happen for a whole day, and i was really hyped to trying the game out ://

My guess is you've already tried disabling the usual culprits like third party overlays? I'm on a 4090 with latest drivers also (no issues), so you can probably rule that out unless you have a bad driver install.

3060 and it hard crashes at the character creator. 32 gb ram, 64 bit, 10tb harddrive
====================================
Hyperthreading issue is fixed. I can play now! Required a few days of patience.

Thank god you have a 4090, the only component needed for a computer or game to function. You should try to tape it to your fridge and see if it works better.

You're not the only one...after minutes, black screen

mine doesn't crash but nothing happens after the black screen either. On launch for a second I see a small loading icon on the bottom right but black screen after that

I have the same issue, here are my specs https://steamcommunity.com/app/1340990/discussions/0/591765566046349206/ what CPU do you have and what is your other specs? From the Dude that has the same issue in my thread it looks like it is not a GPU issue.

Ok I solved the issue on my part, basically:

It is 100% if you go over 32 threads, I turned off SMT and the game booted up, anything over 32 threads bricks the game. You have to do a BIOS mod on your cores/threads and get the threads below = to 32 threads, an CPU affinity mod does NOT work.

I really hope they fix this cause I use all those threads daily for dev work and don't want to change my BIOS for one game.

I really hope the team fixes this ASAP.

Your issue seems different, I'm not getting any errors, the game just stays in black screen after launching. I have a 5700x3d, 4080 super

Hmmm, interesting. After first boot the first thing I saw was a shader compile screen do you get to that or is it just black?

One thing I did and I had to do this with the new GTA5 update is nuke the folder in my documents(it's some weird One Drive thing). You could try and nuke the folder in case that is an issue, if I did not do that I could not run the new GTA5 enhanced version for what ever reason(back it up in case you have anything in it you need btw):

C:\Users\[your user name]\OneDrive\Documents\KoeiTecmo

Good luck , not sure what else it could be, I have been trying to get mine to work all evening.

I have onedrive disabled/syncing off, so folders are like normal windows. Only a small loading logo appears in the bottom right of the screen on launch for a second, then the screen goes black and nothing. Just stays that way, doesn't even crash.
Thanks for trying to help, ig I'll have to wait for a patch from KT

I’ve got a 4070 and it’s played flawlessly for the hour I’ve put in.
