Just finished this game. I have a question: How in the f*ck did this game "only" runner up at the Cacowards? This game deserved much more than that. I'm sick of these sh*t .pk3 games with one map or a game with a boatload of modded weapons winning over fantastic wads like 2022 A Doom Odyssey. Thank you Mr. C and your team for a fantastic game! Solid 5 out of 5 stars.

I have no idea what pc you are using nor its specs so I will give you the general fixes: 1) I had the same problem and we aren't the only ones with this issue. DooM Eternal is one helluva fussy game. Turned out that my computer didn't meet the recommended requirements for the game. My graphics card met the minimum, but not the recommended requirements. (I had AMD Radeon R9 290 [4GB] and everything else met the recommended). I wasn't about to invest in a graphics card for just one game. So I ended up scrapping the whole idea and just bought it for the PS4. Steam sucks. All I ever hear is problems with them. So I would start with checking to see if you meet the recommended requirements (below). 2) You didn't hear it from me, *coughs* but another solution I read about was that someone downloaded a *coughs* crack and installed it into the game installation directory folder, overwriting some Steam files, the voila! Problem solved. 3) Another solution was to update the game to its current version.

I would like to see id totally remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein, just like Square Enix did for Final Fantasy VII. Add more and different levels to it, but keep the style of fighting the same as the original; throw in some puzzle solving; definitely throw in some more bosses; more enemies; more missions that aren't so obvious to complete. And a lot less linear.

Very valid points. Thank you!

Some people are under the impression that I do not like TC's and that I think TC's are trash. That is soooo not the case. I DO like some TC's as long as they are not "jokester" WADS. Avactor is a sensational WAD and both BTSX's are my absolute faves. And I agree that some TC's are and can be an improvement over the "normal" or mainstream Doom WAD. I also agree that an author's imagination is endless in his or her design. The consensus appears to be that as long as you utilize the Doom engine, then everything is fair game. I'm just saying that once you change the textures, modify the weapons, add new monsters, etc., then the TC no longer is DOOM. It's a conversion. Even says so in the "TC" name. If you convert a priest into a warrior in a role playing game (assuming the priest loses all his spells), for example, is he still a priest even though he's human like the warrior? No he's not. He's been converted... Evidently, I am alone in this. LOL!! Thanks for keeping the name calling out of this. I have posted threads before where immature people would call me names just because they disagree. We're all adults here and forums are for fun discussion and information. I appreciate everyone's input. Keep them coming!! You guys make very valid points.

LMAO!! @ "Strongly disagree from the deep bottom of my rotting soul!" I have not tried REKKR but it is on my to do list.

Very solid argument. Best so far. Thanks for your input! :)

I agree with you. I am not a fan of the "city" levels. They are boring and very linear.

Should TC's be eligible for Cacowards? Many TC's or partial TC's have won a Cacoward (e.g., Avactor). And I don't support that. Don't get me wrong, some TC's are great games but I feel once the weapons or monsters are altered in any way via a Total Conversion, it ceases to become Doom, therefore disqualifying it to be eligible for a Doom Cacoward. The TC may have the same parameters as Doom, but that's about it. The graphics have changed, thus so has the Doom game. For example, if an author incorporates Duke Nukem switches in a Doom WAD, the WAD now becomes partially Duke Nukem with Doom parameters, or "rules." Perhaps the Cacowards should have a TC catagory on its own. Just because you wrap a papaya in banana peel doesn't make it a banana. Agree or disagree?

All of any of Plutonia 3. I mean, what in the flying f*ck was THAT?!??!

The 2019 Cacowards is a joke. One Mapped "WADS" shouldn't even be considered. Nor should TC's or partial TC's. One mapped WADS are just that: One Map. How does this even make a game? TC's are just WADS that are altered from the original parameters and they usually suck. At least stick to the original weapons, monsters, etc. to be considered. And have at least 10 Maps to be considered as well. Eviternity was probably the most boring game I played, ever. It had great eye candy and that's about it. The game play was repetitive and boring. The ONLY thing the judges got right was that SIGIL is sitting in the Runners-up list rather than actually winning. IMO (and many others), SIGIL just plain sucked. The maps were too short, too boring and very sloppy. It was like the whole thing was just thrown together to meet a deadline. Let's be honest here: The only reason it's even sitting in the Runner-up list is out of respect for Romero. What ever happened to WADS winning because they stuck to DOOM's original theme? With great maps, original weapons and original monsters? Create a WAD that sticks to THAT and still have great game play is far more challenging to create and it deserves more respect than WADS that alter everything or WADS that have a single map.

Can somebody please explain to me how this fantastic game didn't win a Cacoward? And how a ridiculous game like Hocus Pocus Doom did??!?!? The 2019 Cacowards' list is a joke. I don't agree with Cacowards going out to WADS that are just one single map (like Verdant Citadel) or WADS that are all "modded up" (aka Total or partial conversions). They should have a category for One Map WADS and another one for the TC's. TC's, in my opinion aren't real DOOM wads, anyway. Lunar Catastrophe is what DOOM is all about, especially it being an Ultimate DOOM WAD. It didn't need new weapons nor new monsters to make it a great game. It's game play made this WAD a great WAD. This game was consistently fun throughout EVERY single map. This was a full 32 map Megawad based on the real deal - DOOM. If THIS WAD didn't deserve to win a Cacoward, then no WAD did. Lunar Catastrophe was robbed. Deserves more than Runner-up.

Loved it until I got to Map 20. After that, it just went downhill. 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
