DOOM: The Dark Ages

DOOM: The Dark Ages

View Stats:
Landing with the Dragon crashes my game consistently.
Running Linux Mint, updated to the latest mesa drivers.

In Chapter 5, The Holy City of Aratum, when it comes to the part where you have to destroy the ships, right after the Dragon tutorial, the game ALWAYS crashes when I destroy the turrets on a ship and try landing on it. Is anyone else having the same issue or knows of any potential fixes? I can't find anything online nor anyone that had this issue.

PC specs are
AMD Ryzen 5 7600
32GB RAM
AMD RT 7600 XT

Yeah I have done both, verifying the files in Steam says they are perfectly fine. I also disabled FSR since if I enable it, not a single texture in the game will load, seriously, none at all. Still nothing! I am gonna try reinstalling the game.
Did you buy your flight licence? Next time land carefully

Wait this actually fixed it! I went and got myself some flight training, I tested the game and it works! But I am posting this just to help any other people with this issue, I think I am retiring from videogames now that I got myself a full time job as a pilot and a newfound love for planes.

I'm running into the same issue at the same spot.
Using Nobara Linux, GE-Proton10-1, though going to 9-27 didn't make any difference. Same specs as OP except that my CPU is a Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

Same issue. Running Bazzite with an AMD 7600 XT and Ryzen 7840HS. Game has run fine until landing the dragon.

It worked fine for me under Windows. Playing through on Linux and just got past that level, didn't have issues with landing, however, I did notice that once on foot my framerate dropped to the 40's while in the ships. After leaving the ship, the framerate returned to normal. Not sure if that has anything to do with the crashing, but if it is bringing a 7900xtx to its knees, then perhaps there is an issue with the game code during that transition.

Only on the ships though, when I landed on the ground, it was fine, and again only under Linux, Manjaro to be precise. Windows 10 pro played it like a champ from start to finish.

I have the same problem here on Windows. I have an RTX4070 Ti Super + Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700KF. The whole game runs fine around 100FPS, but once I land in that secret area with a turret, I have constant crashes. I tried changing video setting but still same. After loading I have like 10-15 sec until it will crash and I have to turn off my PC hard way because it is not responding to anything
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

This actually resolved the problem for me.
Install the amd86 and i386 .debs (Ubuntu) or x86_64.rpm (Fedora) from the latest release https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/releases
In the Launch Options for Doom, put the following command lines:

Ubuntu:
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/etc/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json:/etc/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd32.json radv_force_64k_sparse_alignment=true %command%

Fedora:
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/etc/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json radv_force_64k_sparse_alignment=true %command%

Can confirm this works on Bazzite. Installed using rpm-ostree and used your Fedora launch command. Thanks a bunch!

Not only this fixed the issue I was talking about, it also allowed me to use FSR (I couldn't previously) and run the game on much higher settings, now I can play without needing to set everything on Low. May God absolutely bless your soul, kind one, you are a lifesaver.

Just adding a line for Arch users as well

Ubuntu:
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/etc/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json:/etc/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd32.json radv_force_64k_sparse_alignment=true %command%

Fedora:
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/etc/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json
radv_force_64k_sparse_alignment=true %command%

Arch:
Install AMDVLK and to be safe lib32-amdvlk
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json
radv_force_64k_sparse_alignment=true %command%
