DOOM Eternal stopped launching on my main system in 3rd October 2020. (Possibly HW Ban?)

[Jcyber15]

So, DOOM Eternal has stopped launching on my main system since 3rd October 2020, I have tried everything possible that you can find on the internet and what Bethesda Tech Supports gives you, which just some easy searchable info, and when I ran out of options, I installed steam and DOOM Eternal on my other machine I built just to play around with which launches doom eternal fine. No crashes, bug or anything so now my conclusion is that I have gotten a random hardware ban. I don't want to change my hardware IDs because my main system is temperamental enough as it is due to a almost dead motherboard which is surprisingly not the issue.

I have 259 games installed the same way as DOOM on this machine which work fine and among those 259, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of then which I run at insanity with ray-tracing off since chrome reflection in games is something my system struggles with.

If anyone know how to fix this please message add something to this discussion.

you can reinstall dx but usually games do that on first launch after data verification.

task manager doesn't have all of the startup apps. that's why i said msconfig.

You add them manually by opening "Run" & typing shell:startup. Currently I have 79 shortcuts in there and the rest are automatically added to the start-up tab.

bcs of reinstalling directx, remember dx9.0c and dx 10/11/12 are different apis!
on win10 u will need both dx9.0c (june2010) and dx12 aswell...

Is there a way to validate/reinstall direct X? I was looking for bink video error, there isn't much but it mentioned directX.

Yes. To view your DirectX version and details, open up "Run" and type in "dxdiag.exe". To update your DirectX, there is a DX software but I clear my "Run" cache a lot and I don't usually use that specific DX software. You can also update your DX by the windows updater which is in windows settings, Nvidia Geforce, I presume AMD Radeon Software does the same, and you can use the Intel driver update tool to update your directX. It usually does it automatically

Try this:
-uninstall Doom
-Follow the instructions down here
-Turn off the PC
-Reinstall

I'm not sure if it's any good but it's a fair shot.

DOOM Eternal Uninstall Denuvo Anti-Cheat

Individuals who would like to uninstall the Denuvo Anti-Cheat from their PC will need to head to the "Uninstall Programs" application for Windows. You then need to find this particular piece of software and click it to begin the uninstallation of it. You can then check to make sure that is has been successfully uninstalled by pressing the Windows key and r. Type services.msc and look for the Denuvo Anti-Cheat updater in this list. If it is not on the list, then it has been uninstalled from your PC.

Here is the clip of DOOM Eternal not loading. Keep an eye on the "ID Tech Software Launcher" icon in the bottom right corner of the recording.

DOOM Remastered 2016 uses both the Vulkan API and the OpenGL API but DOOM Eternal only uses the Vulkan API. I don't know specifically which vulkan they use but vulkan looks way better than OpenGL on DOOM 2016.

Also this depends on your graphics cards and how they are set up. Mine works best with the latest drivers for Vulkan.

I've tried fixing the sharing permissions to "idTechLauncher.exe" & "DOOMEternalx64vk.exe" but nothing has changed. I might be doing it wrong. Do you have any advice or a reference that I could use?
(Also if you thinking I am being denied access, I can't say if I am, I don't get any error messages popping up. I have ran the execution files as admin but it still doesn't launch or give an error code.)

yes true! but for sound output and networking they both use dx9.0c ;)
i just thought he is referring to the talk about directx and bcs doom eternal is using vulkan (which is only a graphics api), dx would not be needed. but in fact dx9.0c is needed for both games...

btw have u tried to delete the shader cache files? its one of the most common issues on steam with vulkan games not launching anymore.
