First time running the game? I think the 1fps intro is a bug. I had it on the beta and on the final game aswell. After the intro plays out for the first time, next time you run the game it should run normally.

Does the rest of the game lock you in arenas until you clear all the enemies? Or does that just happen sporadically?
Wow. Like, something is missing here. Surprisingly not demanding from my pov.

Beat the demo on PC last night on the hardest difficulty available.
I gotta say, they really make sure the player keeps moving, and because you get guaranteed health on glory kills, it's basically required to do that.
It seemed fun. I wish there was just a little bit more to try because the demo didn't sell it well enough to want to make me put down money on it. I'll probably pick it up on sale eventually, also depending on how id Software handles the MP side of things, which I hear is sort of a mess right now.
What are your specs? I was playing maxed out on my 780Ti at 1440p and I was getting anywhere between 30-60fps (thank god for GSync). Well, as maxed out as it would let me because it wouldn't let me enable some things because it said I didn't have enough VRAM.

Beat the demo on the hardest difficulty last night. I loved Doom 1-3, so I was super excited about playing the demo.
It was alright. Encountered a shocking amount of glitches, the running speed felt completely ridiculous (not in a good way) and unsatisfactory (I know the original didn't have a sprint function but having agency over the run speed feels satisfying), and I 1000% miss the horror atmosphere of 3. I LOVED the animations though, the game is wonderfully animated. The gunplay was pretty fluid and satisfying and I enjoyed strategically picking off enemies one by one while weaving through enemies.
So overall, yeah I had a good time. But unfortunately enough, I had my fill with the demo and am already looking to move on. Considering I was excited about buying the game and now I feel like I've had enough with the demo.... yeah, probably not the best outcome for the devs at least on my end.
Really wish they made it a sequel in the spirit of 3, then I would have absolutely bought it happily.

Is the limited time only for the download, or will it stop working completely after that time period?
I sold my graphics card to be able to afford a new one, so I won't be able to play this right now, but I'd like to try it when I get my new card in a few weeks.

The classic map
found within the level is only one small room? Or am I just an idiot?

demo level isnt very good but does it get a lot better?
First level isn't classic doom at all, you find a key right on your way and it's sort of too redish and clumpy . Assume it gets a lot better though

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Thanks for the heads up.
Just downloaded it on PC and played through it on Nightmare. Quite fun, I really like the emphasis on movement during combat.
I need to turn down some settings, though. I was getting some regular frame drops. What are the most demanding video options?

Laptop runs Dark Souls 3 well.
Having 1 fps Bethesda intro.. Read it would go away, but even the game is 1fps.
Don't have good enough internet to download drivers from home, so if a relaunch doesn't fix the game, I guess I'm not playing Doom anytime soon.
Edit: 2nd boot, game intros run fine. But the game still runs like shit.. Like 5 fps shit. I even turned everything to low and advanced settings off. This blows. 960m nvidia runs games well on medium to high settings, but this is just silly. Maybe I need new nvidia drivers after all..

Pretty fun. Was planning on tweaking settings as usual, but it ran at 1080p@60fps ultra with a GTX970.

Pretty surprised this actually runs pretty well with my Radeon 7870 with out any drastic compromises. Sadly doesnt work with Steam Link so I'll probably wait on buying.
Finding that one room unlocks the classic map. No idea if they let you access the classic map selection on this demo.

I used the
switch and went through the classic door where there was 4 guys on pillars that could be lowered,
Yes, thats the one room. Entering that room will unlock the classic map in a separate stage select menu after you finish or quit the current stage. If you are playing the demo.. well I have no idea if you can actually play the classic maps there.
When you unlock the old school level during your mission it's usually just a room or maybe a couple. To access the full unlocked old school level you have to launch iit from the main menu. Apparently you can play the full level in the demo version from the main menu.
Yep, it gets a lot better very quickly. Here's my post from much earlier in the thread on the subject:
What do you mean? DOOM 1 didn't have sprint?

Thanks guys. I saw someone mention selecting it from the main menu but I thought that was for replaying purposes, not to initially access it.
Wow, that demo was so short! The original Doom shareware disc was a lot bigger
Buy the game you won't be disappointed.

My GTX 570 could maintain high 50's fps for Doom on low settings. Paired with a i5-4670k stock.
I've already spent more than 3 hours in the demo alone. Even with my system that's well below minimum (4gb sys memory and just an old rusty hd 6850 1gig to power the gfx),averaging 30 fps with huge slowdowns, I managed to have a blast.
I don't even care I bought this so hard this morning. If I can't finish the game on my system I'll keep playing small snapmaps until I can afford a better rig lol. Such a satisfying gameplay loop goddamn

My ancient laptop was struggling, but I saw the resolution percentage thing and tuned it completly down to 50% and now it plays like doom and has kind of a retro feel without looking too horrible.
I'll definitely be buying this game down the line, right now budget is tight, but I liked what I saw.

Did it have sprint?
Jesus, it was such a long time ago since I played it that I must have forgot. Played the original almost 20 years ago.

Yeah, the demo sold me on the game. Any chance it shows up in the steam summer sale?

Played the demo, bought the game.
Headphones on and blasted through the first couple of levels.
No nonsense doom experience here, oldschool in it's dna. Breath of fresh air after all these semiserious open world shooters. Awesome game!

I have no idea why, but it's running like utter shit on my PC (i5 4460, 16gb ram, 4gb 380), far worse than anything else I've played on it, and changing settings seems to do bugger all. It's a constant sub 30fps, even on lowest settings.
I checked the drivers and they're all up to date, there doesn't seem to be anything else running in the background, and I'm hitting a pretty consistent 60fps with no dips past 50 on Rise of the Tomb Raider at mostly high with a few very high settings, so I'm kind of flummoxed as to where the problem is.
Thankfully though it looks gorgeous and plays perfectly on my PS4, so I'll just get it on that, but if anyone has any suggestions for what the hells up with it on my PC I'd be grateful.

I can run it at 1080p 60fps ultra with TSSAA on my GTX 960 and Q9550, so something is definitely wrong with your system. Do you have the latest Catalyst Beta driver? Windows fully updated?

Yep, the first thing I did was update everything, and it's working fine with every other game too, it just does not seem to like Doom for some reason.
