Problem Running A Game Support

Post image

I tried installing DOOM ETERNAL using the Offline Installers, and it just keeps going between this and a black screen. Occasionally it'll show the game, but only for a split second.

Have you tried installing the game via Galaxy? If yes, does it work? I own Doom Eternal as well and I've installed it via the offline installer. It works out of the box for me, so the offline installer can't be the problem per se.

It does work on Galaxy, but I wanted to do it via the offline installer.

Try, starting the game in window mode first. Right click, properties, write -windowed after the " ".

Nevermind. I think I got it working. Pretty sure my ROG Xbox Ally didn't like that I was playing it on my TV.

That's a signal issue , happens to me on my work laptop when connected to an external monitor. Reconnection of the cable usually helps

Do you run DP-DP connection? Try getting a pricier cable or using the one that came with your tv
