Doesn't run on Linux via Proton

[Pinkhead]

UPD: The game now works since day 2 after DRM fix.

First game worked so well on Linux via Proton.
This one doesn't launch at all.
What a disappointment. All that hype and pre-order goes for nothing.

UPD: 2 days later it actually works with Proton 5.4-GE2, but if you switch Proton versions you may be blocked by DRM for 24 hrs, but then it is going to work.

check this thread if you have any issues:

Just accept the fact that this game in particular was never designed for linux so you shouldn't be mad that it's not running on linux. Sure you can kindly ask Bethesda to add support for it, but don't be angry that proton wont run it.

It doesn't actually matter if Linux is a gaming OS or not. Any OS can be used for gaming. But this edition of DOOM was never created for Linux.

Being mad at Bethesda because it wont run on Linux is like being mad at an open fringe for being a terrible air conditioner. Sure, you can cool your house using a fridge, but the chances of success and it being a viable choice are slim and the fridge was never meant to cool your house, just the stuff inside.
In this analogy Proton is a hose connected to a duct. Now you can reliably vent cool air into a room! Awesome, right? But even though Proton lets you do that, the fridge was still never made to cool the room, and maybe that hose and duct has holes in it, or a blockage completely!

Similarly, proton is the issue here. It is not Bethesda. They did not design this game for Linux.
Grow up and stop acting mad when third-party software fails to do something that does not have anywhere near a 100% success rate.

I do not know how else I can reiterate this to get through people's skulls. At this point I think they are trolling.

THIS IS NOT A LINUX GAME. BEING ABLE TO RUN ON WINE OR PROTON DOES NOT MAKE IT A LINUX GAME. NOT BEING ABLE TO RUN IT ON WINE OR PROTON DOES NOT MEAN IT IS A GAME MADE FOR LINUX.

christ just dualboot or run windows in a vm. for people boasting about linux it kinda sucks for your purposes, does it not? lmao

Oh dear. The game is literally coming out on Stadia. Guess what a Linux build of the game exists. Because Stadia runs a Debian based Linux distribution. ID have gone to the effort of making a Linux version of their game. Any game on Stadia IS a Linux game. Nearly all of it's technology stack is based on opensource Linux components. You've written a ton of absolute incorrect bollocks. Doom Eternal IS a Linux game. It's just not being released to any non Google platform.

You know the main thing that locks a game into Windows for decades has been the graphics APIs. Both new Dooms use Vulkan which is natve to both WIndows and Linux.

The ACTUAL major reason the game has not been working is because Doom Eternal is Vulkan 1.2 based and Linux drivers were not caught up to Vulkan 1.2 on release day, same as Windows in fact. Which is why NVidia and AMD both released drivers when the game came out. Proton was also not exposing Vulkan 1.2 functionality. For windows users who did not update their drivers the game was broken in essentially the same way that it was for Linux users.

Now those updates have occurred the game works running on Linux.

That was less than two days with no involvement from ID.

Integrated graphics, can this run on Intel?

May I please request that whoever reported my prior post as advocating / discussing piracy kindly refrain from this in the future?

Denuvo is multi-faceted software, the anti-debug stuff that I was discussing in idTechLauncher.exe does nothing but obfuscation, pointing out the existence of this code -- particularly when certain behavior of the anti-debug code is a known performance bottleneck in WINE -- has _nothing_ to do with piracy. It is only one of dozens of obnoxious things that Denuvo does in order to be a pain in the butt while pirates work on cracking the game, pointing out where this problem code originates and how to remove it gets nobody any closer to pirating this game and I can assure you anyone who has successfully circumvented the entirety of Denuvo is already familiar with this and several other things it commonly does.

It is important that you not jump the gun and report respected developers for doing things you do not understand. You very nearly triggered a year-long system-wide ban on my main account and I do not think you want that weighing on you, unless your intent was malicious in the first place, in which case I hope you grow up eventually. Reporting me, of all users, for advocating piracy is ludicrous.

Imagine using linux for gaming instead of work related queries

I stay on your side, if it matters, however Steam doesn't provide means to downvote a report or upvote a post?

Hi,
Game run fine with custom proton Proton-5.4-GE-3 Version. Updated to custom proton and now it runs perfect on my nvidia rtx2080TI with good fps. Playing in 2K and high Details. I love Linux and Doom. To bad ID and Bethesta don't like Linux at the moment. But maybe there will be the time and they will ;-)

What video driver you on? Also what distro? Mine just closes, but Ubuntu 18.04 and driver 430 as 435 causes my machine to shut down randomly. I also have the 2080 Ti.

no one has tried this with intel graphics? :(

[Anti-CMOS]

Got mine working with a driver update, we good now. :) Can Intel graphic even run Doom 2016 or you just trolling?

[Lance]

can my ti-84 graphing calculator run this? serious answers only please.

[Kaldaien]

You need a Ti-89 or better, a symbolic equation solver is needed.

Bro my intel GPU can run the game at 720p 60 FPS, even better than what the Switch can and considering the Switch is getting a Doom Eternal port it would be 0 surprise if my setup can run it just as good. Not all intel GPUs are complete ♥♥♥♥.
