Make sure to read the FAQ as well.. Moderators reserve the right to interpret the rules as they see fit if something is borderline.


Doom is a series of sci-fi action/horror games from id software, starting with Doom in 1993, and continuing with Doom3 and Doom (2016).

In Doom, you play as a space marine tasked with defeating the unleashed demonic forces of Hell, using a variety of heavy weapons and your own skill against the invading hordes. Doom codified and revolutionized First-Person Shooters, and remains one of the most influential games in the genre.

Feel free to also discuss Doom-engine games such as Heretic, Hexen, and Strife, and any others. Please tag these posts with [game name], to make them easier to distinguish.

Reminder: Please use Post flairs to help others see what kind of content you're posting.

TAG1 doesn't register my finishes on higher difficulty levels

I'm playing on the Switch and finished TAG1 on hurt me plenty. Then I tried it again on ultraviolence but when I finished the UAC facility the game menu was still showing hurt me plenty as my most difficult run. I tried again like 3 more times and the UV difficulty level was never registered by the game.

So I deleted my save and started again on UV, did the UAC again + the blood swamps, but the bridge fight in the holt was just absolutely impossible. It was like 2am and I wanted to go sleep so I finished the mission on I'm too young to die.

So now the game shows that I did the 1st two missions on UV, but the last one on too young to die. Today I launched the holt again, selected hurt me plenty and finished it, but the game is still showing too young to die! What the hell is going on, it seems it just doesn't want to register higher difficulty runs??

Edit: this is getting annoying so I just did another quick run on ultraviolence but with all cheat codes on this time just to see what would happen, and same result... It shows the proper day the time for the run, but too young to die instead of the proper difficulty.

I cannot play the campaign on the Xbox PC Game pass launcher.

As the title says i cannot play the campaign, i have verified that the campaign is installed, i have the ability to select my difficulty but once the loading screen gets finished and the "press space to continue" pops up, i press space and the game crashes

i have reinstalled it multiple times verified and fixed the game files on both the main game and the campaign add-on, google isn't giving me anything to work with, i'm just stuck and i don't know what to do.

Is Saving Throw on 2016 bugged?

I hardly ever use it cause I'm either in arcade mode, nightmare, or of course never get far enough to reach it in ultra nightmare. But our of nowhere today I steamrolled ultra nightmare, got to the 2nd last mission and had used saving throw twice in other missions beforehand, when I was early into this mission and before any big fights occurred, I noticed the icon wasn't there, so I unequipped and reequipped it, and sure enough it still wasn't there. I attributed it to be a visual bug and hoped it was but unfortunately a baron of hell clocking me round a corner said otherwise, and I'm adamant I never used it, I mean, it's pretty hard to not notice your game slowing down severely as well as being on 5 HP and the colour going away, is it just bugged or am I missing something?

Am I the only one hoping to see how this happened?

I always wondered how it happened and I can't even imagine how the fight will be (if they put it)

Monsters you rate differently in various installments

Similar to my question about weapons. Which monsters were piece of the cake in Doom X, but constant pain in the ass in Doom Y.

For me, it's Revenant. In 2016 and especially Eternal, they were one of my favorite thing to abuse. But in Doom 3, they suddenly becomes one of the most powerful enemy with their rocket's unnatural accuracy.

UDB question for you guys

Hi using UDB and was wondering if it is possible to remove or change textures using a switch or crossing a linedef,example in map01 for doom 64, the caged off area at the start. I'm making a military base and part is a small prison, where the cells raise allowing monsters to escape and swarm the player

I didn’t know where else to ask this

Weapons you rate differently in various installments

I mean weapons that you like or find useful in Doom X, but don't like or find unuseful in Doom Y?

For me, there's two such weapons:

  • Plasma gun. In Doom Eternal and Doom 2016 it was my weapon of last resort (but would be differently in the latter if I choose the right upgrade), while in Doom 3 it was my weapon of the first choice outside of boss and pseudo-boss battles.
  • Chaingun. In Doom Eternal I've been using it often against powerfull enemies (because of the shield upgrade). In Doom 3, it was my weapon against bosses, hellknights and other powerful enemies. But in Doom 2016, I find it lacking in damage output and didn't practically use.

(Remark: I've played three last big Doom game in the reverse order.)

Glory kills

Do they update Eternal with new glory kills? Or have I just not seen them all? Every now and then I'll come across a new one and wonder. I've played through probably 7-8 times and am lvl 115 so I have killed a few demon in my day.
