Since you only have .3 hours, I'm guessing you don't meet minimum specs.
Please stop wasting our time. You have posted this same thing in other threads and others have asked you to post your specs which you ignored.

look at this two pictures... delete all marked files from both folders
then verify local game cache files via steam

if this doesnt work try to update directx
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/179113/how-to-install-the-latest-version-of-directx

[CrazyOldMan]

bro i did the first one that you tell me
there were in base file the
master.index
snap-models.preload
tss.bin
and i delete them these 3
and in the virtualtextures file i deleted one the _vmter_dlc4_vmtr
For all the file that you tell me to delete i had only this 4 and i delete them and after i went to steam and verify local game 2 times and after launce it.
Then tha same error appear but i think with some seconds delay.

i will go to do the second advice right now. thx you all and srr for my bad english

[CrazyOldMan]

From the dxdiag-->system information
DirectX Version: DirectX 12

i think that was the second information you want to give you :)

[Ransom]

it doesnt matter what version it shows... on windows 10 its allways dx12 but maybe there are some outdated files so install it manually from the microsoft link ive posted before...
if this doesnt work u have to install the latest audio drivers from ur mainboards manufacturer

ye this doesnt had something to do with the last error message but it was a second issue ive read out of the error log ;)

[Ransom]

ah and install the latest nvidia graphic drivers... its mostly a good idea ;)

[CrazyOldMan]

ok i did the install of the latest nvidia graphic driver
i use this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ7lF-rrJrA
and after this one
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
i did it, download it and run it correct

after i check that in my dxdiag down left in system information, down the
DirectX Version: DirectX 12

its writed this DxDiag 10.00.15063.0000 64 bit unicode

but how can i download th last version of directX? cause the link that you give me tell me only how to saw the version.
Maybe i need the DirectX 11?
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17431

again thx you that you help me

[Ransom]

no not dx11... u have to update it via windows update but u can also use the doom dx version.
goto ur doom folder -> _commonredist -> directx -> june2010 and run dxsetup.exe
maybe its not the latest version but there are all dx files u need to run doom
if the xaudio2 issue is still there after, u need to install the audio drivers from ur mainboard manufacturer

[Ransom]

Originally posted by +Staverg+:

we could have helped u much earlier if u had given us the information in the other thread before ;)

[CrazyOldMan]

i follow your path correct from steam and doom-->_commonredist-->DirectX-->June2010-->DXSETUP.exe and i run it. i saw that it create/do something with dll files.
after i restart my laptop but unfortunately nothing happen new, later when i run the game

am i very unluckily? or is common problem
is there a case to be a dll file inside my syswow64 to cause all the bad luck?

[Ransom]

post the latest error log pls

did u install the latest audio drivers from the mainboard manufacturer?

[CrazyOldMan]

where to post the latest error? and what do you mean about latest error(the error that appears now?)

i dont know how to install audio drivers from the mainbroad manufaccture, could you give me the path to do it?
