A really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ one! I fixed it by turning off cloud saves. In Steam Library, right-click on doom and select "Properties." Uncheck "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization."

Now goto Users\*username*\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base and move everything out.

Load the game, it'll start fresh then quit. Move your saves back and it should have fixed the issue. You can put cloud saves back on afterwards if you like.

Did not work, unfortunately.

I have The same Issue there is a lnke here that says the only way to fix it is to delete all your saves and start from scratch the link is here http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=683584994 I think this is total bs i do not even know why this developer thing is coming up the only thing i can think of is the few times i have had to press to task manger to quit the game as it just completely freezes even had this game freeze my whole pc. but if they consider that cheating and marking our games as using development tools that is some bs right there i as a customer should not be double punished and delete all my game save data and completey restart the campaign because this stupid game crashes forcing me to use task manager to quit the game bethesda that is not a frickin cheat now i hope they fix this as i don't want to go through all the progrees i have made so far. oh and just a heads up if you do follow those instructions in that link it will supposedly delete any multiplayer progress also. if anyone finds a legit way to fix this without deleting all progree let me know

Thanks for the guide and link, but I did all that, disabled the sync to Steam option, and hell, I even disabled my tilda key on my keyboard because there won't be excuses this time. The result? About 3 hours later, DEVELOPER MODE bug strikes again. You can't even play multiplayer till you delete everything all over again.

I fixed my issue using Bethesda's official solution:

Go to C:\Users\Name\SavedGames/id/DOOM

Highlight all subfolders
Cut to new folder somewhere on PC (so above directory is blank)

Launch DOOM
Accept agreement bullsh!t so you can get to main menu selections. This will automatically generate blank versions of save files/folders you just deleted.
Exit Doom

Delete newly created save files/folders
Cut and repaste original folders into original directory.

Relaunch DOOM.
Issue was resolved for me.

I haven't had many issues so far. I have some weird v-sync issue where I go from 60 to 30 in certain areas. This is fixed by rolling back to 365.1 and using AFR2 SLI mode. I still get drops in some areas and sometimes in combat (but not the 30 lock, just normal little drops when a lot of ♥♥♥♥ is going on or a lot of geometry is visible in the distance.)

It didnt work this solution for me, i believe it will only work in case you don't have cloud sync, after that you're gone to hell, you must start from beggining the history mode.

Doesn't resolve the issue, that accessing the console for something trivial like changing sens - or God forbid hitting it by accident - will flag you as a cheater again!

It's just ignorance on the dev's, and publisher's part.

Its been weeks and theres no mention of a fix or anything. The only solution is to delete all your saved games, start over, and hope it doesn't happen again (pretty good chance it will). I did it 4x and gave up. The bug just randomly happens, sometimes at the beginning of the game sometimes not until later.

If you get a crash to desktop or anything mid game though, it seems to happen every time.

i just had problems with this i think, im sure i fixed it. i thought i would see what fps i was getting so i enabled it in settings, closed game but next session i turned them off. thats when the problem started, i got the msg about dev mode and game closed trying to open snap map. everytime i tried saving the setting to turn fps off, the game would crash and not save it.

in the end i loaded a save, played to a checkpoint, opened settings and turned them off ingame, it didnt crash, i played through the rest of the level to make sure it saved at the end and problem solved. next boot i clicked on snapmap and it loaded like normal instead of closing game, no dev mode msg in sight.

Thanks to ulchris for this solution that doesn't destroy all progress:

TURN OFF STEAM CLOUD

1. First, locate your save file (the corrupt one). C:/User/name/savedgames/id software/doom/base/savegame.

2. On your savegame0 folder, right click and hit properties. Open the Previous Version tab.

3. Dont restore to that folder but instead to another location.

4. Find the restored folder and copy that into you Doom savegame folder, overwrite the old file (back this up if you ahvent already, just incase.)

5. Delete the profile folder.

Now start Doom. It will ask for licence agreements again and then when loaded in, select campaign.

Other possible solutions in this thread (albeit more destructive to your save): http://steamcommunity.com/app/379720/discussions/0/357286119112379128/?ctp=4

^ tried that. Also doesn't work. The bug is hardcoded into the saved games, theres nothing you can do.

The saves only get marked by the bug, IF you carry on after getting the notice/message bug that you are in developer mode.

I have made a thread about it some days ago. It works to some, it does not for others. It did worked for me just fine.

Not much different that what already some of here suggested. It is very important to restart PC, as stated by other users in the main pinned thread.

Anyway, hope it can help somehow someone. i never had the bug again once i solved it.

worked, but the save file I removed from my directory was corrupt so I had to delete it.
