DOOM
Is there a free version of "DDU"?
Apparently(as every time a sale would come up), there are countless "GL ERROR" posts. I myself thought I could use this ddu thing but every link ive tried so far asks for my email and payment info. I bought the game yesterday and im not too pc savy like most are(im a console gamer that started with steam a few months ago), so i seriously need help everyone. My game wont start, as I have uninstalled and installled so much i dont even think i can buy games from here anymore unless its from 2012 and before...Mind you The demo worked fine. RAGE works fine. but DOOM wont start up no matter what i do or dont do. HELP!

You don't have to pay for DDU.

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Get it straight from Guru3D. Down near the bottom is a few download links to choose from.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the game? or drivers? and what are your specs?

As far as DDU goes that has always been free. I'm not sure what links were claiming they wanted your email and money, but it has always been here:

Edit: Beaten to it.

@70gbs i would pass out from reinstalling the game if i felt the need to(no lol)
I have a Dell Inspiron 17
Intel Core i5-42000 CPU @ 1.60ghz 2.30 ghz
6gb RAM 64bit

Keep in mind, the SP demo worked ok(lowest settings) and RAGE is actually smoother than expected...

The game requires a dedicated graphics card, which your laptop is lacking in. It may be able to run RAGE and the DOOM demo, but the minimum specs on the store page require a system with a dedicated graphics card.

Ugh... got the DDU(thanks), was able to restart then reinstalled from the link. NOW instead of a small blue screen of error report, its a black screen for 30sec or so, then crash report screen on the top left corner. I thought I made it. Dont know what else to do as I see so many utube vids with people runing this on potatoes...

It runs on potatos.

Potatos with discrete GPUs, which you DO NOT HAVE.

You have no gaming capable graphics device - not even an old one. Intel iGPUs are specifically not supported, because they specifically don't always support all GL function calls required to run the game.

You have a system that is essentially incapable of running the game.

In rare cases, it can be made to work at extremely low framerate and details.

If you intend to game on a given PC, please make sure that is has some sort of consideration given to any form of gaming.

Doom on an Intel Celeron + IntelHD. (it dont look good but it runs) so yes it runs on Potatos with or without gpus.

I will quote myself -

"In rare cases, it can be made to work at extremely low framerate and details."

Yes, it can, but it isn't guaranteed, and it isn't an acceptable level of play.

Better off buying a Switch.
