Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game

I have FSR working (Win10+ AMD 7900XTX), but it’s obvious that they have screwed the pooch in optimization.

I just finished Doom: Eternal yesterday before the Dark Ages came out and it ran fully maxed out at 1440p @ 240 FPS without upscaling and was gorgeous.

Dark Ages looks pretty much the same as Eternal, but runs at 120-144 FPS.

That’s still absolutely playable but how did it lose 50% performance in an IDTech game?

How did you get it working? I’m getting like 40 FPS over here.

  You have to enable HDR in the Windows 10 settings, do Win+I, type “HD Color”, and then set your AMD display drivers to “Color Correction” in Display to adjust for the bad Win10 HDR implementation.
  
  My recommendation is:
  
  Temperature: 10000 Brightness: -10 Hue: 0 (default) Contrast: 120 Saturation: 165
  
  Then enable HDR in Dark Ages, followed by FSR and Frame Gen, if you want.
  
  HDR is the key.

    Oh I don’t have Windows. But I’ll look into the HDR stuff, I usually leave it off.

One game has Denuvo, the other doesn’t.

  Oh holy shit.
  
  I think you’re actually right, it’s probably Denuvo tanking performance
