Possible causes and solutions to crashes in Doom the Dark Ages

The good news is that developers from id Software are aware of at least some factors causing crashes, and they give us a few tips.

  1. Some players with NVIDIA GPUs who installed 576.40 drivers may experience crashes. Solution offered by developers is to reboot the system and reinstall drivers.
  2. At the same time, if you are having this problem, and have not installed the new drivers after Doom the Dark Ages release, do that. Yes, something which causes problems for some can fix it for others. However, it is recommended to use advanced options during the process and perform clean installation.
  3. Gamers who have RTX 50 series with enabled V-Sync or G-Sync plus Multi Frame Generation in NVIDIA Control can also experience crashes. The solution here is to turn off these options and enable them in-game.
  4. Traditionally in such cases, you should disable overlays like Nvidia, Discord, Afterburner or RivaTuner, as they are known to cause stability issues (especially the last two).
  5. Trying to install the game on Linux OS will also cause crashes, as this system is not ed.
  6. Last but not least, developers warn that 13 and 14 generations of Intel Us can also cause issues. It is nothing new. This problem is acknowledged by Intel itself, and you may need to update your BIOS or Intel .
