If you are on Oculus the solution is to install the SteamVR Beta. Doom VFR wont run on oculus without it.

• SteamVR -> Settings -> General -> Check the beta box and restart steam.

If you are on Vive, or your on Oculus and the Beta step didn't work:

*firstly: Your going to think this isn't going to work, but it has for loads of people. It's not just a generic troubleshooting step, but a fix specifically for this game.

• Create a Windows Restore Point (Not 100% needed, but just to be safe)
  
  
• Download and install DDU from here (or google it):

• Download your GPU's latest drivers
  
  
• Run DDU as it instructs, to fully clear your display drivers, and then install the latest GPU drivers.

I'll be damned; this worked for me. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

I'm having the same issue. With one difference, the game used to run flawlessly for me. I completed it. Now, after not playing for a few weeks, it refuses to launch at all. I have the latest GPU drivers. Actually, that may be the difference. I believe I updated them when I installed Fallout 4.

hi
problem solved for me thanks to another player who found the solution on the French forum. In fact, it was necessary to change the GPU drivers. The one I had was not optimized for running VFR Doom. Try to put another one. I had 382.05. I put the 388.43 version and it works perfectly now and, very important my other games VR too (fallout4, gunjack ...)

Bonne continuation et bon jeu à tous ;-)

Thanks @p2ynne - that was my issue as well, as I suspected. Doom guys - get your game updated so it works with the latest drivers!

I found a solution for Nvidia/Rift S users - and it involved the on-board intel drivers. Install all the latest NVIDIA & Intel drivers, then go into the Nvidia "manage 3D" settings and there, you can set which game/application uses what driver. Doom VFR must be forced to use the Nvidia driver. Note that there are many sub-settings when doing this- where possible let the application control the settings, in cases where you cannot, experiment til you get a stable experience.
