How do I set graphics setting to a minimum?

[Loot Hunter]

I've set graphics too high and now the game throws error upon loading that it doesn't have enough memory. I've tried to delete settings in User/Documents, in AppData and even re-installed the game. Nothing worked.

reinstall the game

Dude! I literally wrote that I did that. Is it so hard to read?!!!

If you have a friend close by who can handle the game, have them log into your game and adjust the settings.

I don't know which files exactly you've deleted, so just in case, local config settings are stored in the config files in

%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\id Software\DOOMEternal\base

In case deleting them won't reset the settings as needed, try starting the game in safe mode, AFAIK that should reset many if not most of the settings.

Alternatively to "-safe" you can also try "+com_safemode 1" (without quotes).

Yes, I've removed those files as well. Neither option (including autoconfig that was mentioned in the article you linked) helped - still getting a "can't allocate video memory" message.

What's your system specs?

And have you tried running the game offline, to make sure you're settings aren't synced from the cloud?

Yes, I tried to run the game off-line with all save data deleted and "-safe" key in the parameters.

I'm using a notebook: Intel i5-1155G7, 16GB RAM, Intel IRIS Xe Graphics Card. And I want to remind you - the game DID launch first time. Up to the title screen and options where I had set them too high. But now it doesn't pass the "Teleporting" loading screen.

I don't have an iGPU, so i'm not sure what the limitations to the shared memory are, meaning how much system memory the iGPU can use.

How much of your 16 GB RAM are available when Windows is running? I could imagine that it's quite a lot less than 16 GB, maybe so much so that the possible maximum shared memory for the iGPU is being reduced because of that. In that case it could help to close each and every application and background service that isn't necessary, in order to increase the available RAM, and thus possibly increase the max shared memory for the iGPU.

Sometimes people recommend to increase virtual memory (page file size), but I don't know whether that actually has any effect on shared memory that the iGPU is allowed to use/allocate, as virtual memory is more of a fallback.

7GB free memory, yet still getting error. Btw, should the game start in window? Because in my case it still starts with fullscreen.

Loot Hunter, you cant just delete settings of doom, its because steam cloud saves your changes in game. Also game doesn't work because you need higher VRAM , you can make it only two ways i guess: buy a videocard better than yours and this game high settings or just ask some of people with a very good videocard to change settings for you.
