Released in 2016, the continuation of the Doom game caused the expected sensation. However, as is customary with developers recently, the game was released in a "raw" form, and refinement took place "on the knee." Because of this, there are a huge number of errors in it, because of which Doom 4 does not start or works every other time.
Pirate
To begin with, we will divide the errors that arise on some basis. And let's start with those people who prefer to download pirated versions of games from the Internet, rather than buying them in a store. Since the original application is cracked to create a pirate, some files may be damaged during this process. What to do if your pirated Doom 4 does not start?
- Verify the installation is correct. The unlicensed version may not contain separate system files that are installed with the application. In this case, you need to download and install them in the system separately.
- When buying a game through Steam, part of the necessary software is installed the first time you turn it on, if Doom 4 does not start, try checking the installed drivers. MS Framework and MS Visual C ++ of the latest versions must be in the system.
- Sometimes Doom 4 does not start due to problems with the graphics and graphics card. In such cases, you need to update the video card driver or download related software. For example, GeForce Experience.
- Anti-virus can also block the game’s access to the Internet or its launch. Try adding Doom 4 to exceptions or completely disable antivirus.
License
With games bought on official trading floors, a completely different story. If you purchased a game disc, then there may be problems due to the outdated version. When Doom 4 does not start, you should check your internet connection. Perhaps the game is trying to update before appearing in front of its "master".
If Doom 4 does not start on Steam, there can be a variety of reasons, including those already mentioned. For example, there should not be Russian letters on the way to the game. Since applications downloaded via Steam are installed in its folder in most cases, you need to check the location of the client as well.
Also, be sure to check the free space on your hard drive. You may have problems if it was not enough when downloading and automatically installing via Steam. You may need to completely reinstall the Steam client and the game, as hard drive memory cells may be damaged.
System
What else is worth checking if Doom 4 does not start? Sorry something wrong is a mistake that often appears in front of players. This means that, most likely, you are using the pirated version of the game, since you can run only 5 copies per day on different computers from the same license key. You can’t do anything with it only if you find another repack. If a similar problem arose with the license, then you are using a non-standard modification.
In addition, if Doom 4 does not start, be sure to check the compliance with system requirements. Modern games consume a lot of computer resources, so when inconsistent, they may not work even on relatively new machines. In this situation, you can try using third-party software that speeds up computer performance.
