I already have the latest driver so that won't work.

[Constantine]

I have the same problem...

[Spaghettacus]

Happening to me too but sometimes it just freezes and I cant do anything about it

[Spaghettacus]

No good for me, I tried that already.

Try switching the api outside of the game environment.
Library
Right Click Doom
Go to properties
Go to "set launch options"
Type +r_renderapi 0
Apply

that doesn't work ether, it still freezes when it reaches "looking for title storage"

It's not always enough to update your video drivers. Doom is super picky when it comes to this. Use DDU to uninstall your graphics drivers. Install them from a fresh download from the Nvidia or AMD website, depending on your video card. Also, if you haven't updated Windows, that can also help.

so i can't just go through the Geforce menu?

[Samael]

It's still a win win. If it works then good. If it doesn't we will know that your drivers is not the cause of this and we will be able to proceed helping you further.

Let us know if you did all your windows updates.

You "reinstalled the game". So does this mean you played this game a while ago. Like a few years ago? If yes then it could be the problem where you have some old files left in the folder that wasn't deleted. Delete all old files dated for 2016 from the folders listed in the imgur link. Verify integrity of game and start the game. https://imgur.com/a/KTRwA

You can try what I suggested in this thread. https://steamcommunity.com/app/379720/discussions/0/133259956013408892/

[Spaghettacus]

This is the error report, Ive tried +r_renderapi 0 and 1, and vie reinstalled my drivers using DDU

[Samael]

Yes please. System info.

[Spaghettacus]

Fixed the issue, I had to install nvidia graphics driver 365.10 over the current driver.

[Spaghettacus]

Problem is that nvidia still wants me to install the new drivers and if I do so the game wont work anymore.
