I have to end the process from task manager to get out of the game.

I used to be able to play it but now when I start the game from steam it just goes to a black full screen and just hangs. I am not sure if this is the correct place to be asking for help with Doom but I am having issues with it. Verify integrity of game cache files by right clicking on the game in Steam library, then clicking on Verify. You can get Nvidia GameReady 365.19 drivers from here and AMD Radeon Crimson edition 16.5.2 beta drivers from here. Even if two games use the same engine, the way the developers use that engine is also different. Problems with Doom - Black screen on startup. DOOM 2016 PC- Crash at startup/ CTD/ Game not responding/ APPCRASH/ Black screen/ Red screen fix:-Nvidia and AMD have both released their optimized drivers for the game.

You're implying that if most games work then every game should work, it doesn't work that way because every engine is unique. That statement has no meaning since every game run on different engines with different specific demands in hardware and software. If you want to fix it permanently simply get the proper codecs to play the videos.Īlso please stop saying statements like 'I have over 300 games and they all play great, etc' So the fix mentioned is more of a bandaid. Well in this case no they did not bundle up the specific codecs needed. In addition, devs/publishers tend to bundle up relevant codecs for their videos.Īlso, did you actually have anything helpful to say? Well, I have 300 games on my steam account and this happens with no other games.

It most likely means you guys don't have the proper codecs installed to play the videos. Wait til your PC restarts in normal mode. Run DDU under the 'highly reccomended' setting, which I believe said just uninstall and restart.
