Doom not launching (SOLVED)

[Nova6]

I just got doom installed. but for some reason it doesnt start . it shows that im in game for 5 seconds on my steam status than goes back to ready to play. i restarted my pc it worked for once . i changed to vulkan in the option it asked me to restart my game which i did. And it stopped launching again. Help will be apriciated
My spec:
Intel Core i5 6500
8 gb ddr4
Gtx 1070
Windows 10 64bits

**UPDATE**
I have succeded to launch the game finaly. Even though Nvidia drivers were up to date i reinstalled it again and i noticed that Geforce experience and Nvidia control panel weren't able to detect DOOM on my pc. so i manually added it on both geforce experience and in Nvidia control panel(Manage 3d settings). now it's working perfectly fine. Hope it will help some of you. CHEERS ;)

it doesnt launch at all.not game screen. as i said when i click on play it shows on the steam status that im in game and after 5 seconds it goes back to online. so i can't even go till option menu.

Bro, I have the same damn issue. Black screen for 5-10 seconds then the broke bug report. I have tried reinstalling the .EXE file, last night the ENTIRE game. So I am just confused as to why this wont even get me to start screen.

Intel i5
GTX 970
8 gb RAM
Win 10 - 64 bits

So frustrated with this not working.

this is so bad. Paid for a game which isnt working on a pc perfect for all the new games. you at least get a error message. i get nothing. i stay on steam page! and nothing. as if i never pressed on play. did everything about those deleting exe files etc . no luck !

If i get any issues similar, i'll have a tinker. It may be worth opening the main executable "steamlibrary/common/*gamename*"

Right click and select properties, from here select compatability and try other versions of windows, also tick "run as administrator".

I guess you could check the directorys and double-check that the software in the "redist" folder are installed, again running the .exe as admin.

Other than that, i'm afraid i can't be of assistance :/

Did you guys try to :

- Install the latest drivers for everything
- Disable the steam overlay
- Windows updates are all done
- Reinstalled the Visual C++ redist SP1 from microsoft
- Reinstall DirectX
- Installed the redist in the game folder and in the redist folder
- Verifying the integrity of the cache of the game in your steam library game settings
- Shut down all the non essential program running in the background
- Run Steam / game in administrator mode
- Scan you PC for malwares / virus that could screw everythings up
- Unplug any USB stuff connected you don't need. Try the headset too.
- Set your Windows sound setting to 16 bits 48000hz

Don't forget to reboot if you install anything.

Let me know if it doesnt work. Will keep adding stuff. This is pretty much most of the fixes i saw on this forum for Doom.

EDIT : If you just installed Doom i suggest you reboot your PC. Some people had problems launching it because they didnt after installation.

Totally seconding this, sometimes windows has issues opening the necessary dll's after installing something like Visual basic runtimes and direct X drivers, a reboot can sometimes just rejump the funk and stuff ticking, solid advice bud

Thx :) You have to try everything. One of my friend couldnt start the game and had a black screen just because he had a program called Sonic Studio 2 running. The moment he removed it the game launched fine.

Not working bro. ty for u post

[Martyboi]

hmm, this is most odd, i mean i just fired this thing up and bam.....no prob at all :o

Try installing all prerquisites and try again.....if not i have a theory that virtualization may need to either be disabled or enabled, based on the nature on the denuvo DRM framework, which requires virtualization to execute it's task i read. that would be disabled in bios.

for AMD it's virualization....intel is HYPER-V or something, refer to you're mobo manual before proceeding dude, just in case.
