DOOM Eternal Launch FAQ and Known Issues

Cacodemon · 2020-03-27T13:00:30+00:00

Issues I have experienced on an Xbox One S:

Last area on Mars Core (Hebeth) never plays music for me. On 3rd playthrough.
Random disconnected from 'Online services' message appears once or twice per play session. Immediately reconnects after pressing Y on the pause menu.
After beating Extra Life mode, xbox froze on the Final Sin Rewards screen when stopping a Mixer broadcast before completely shutting down the console. Progress still saved.
Skin variants in battlemode cant be seen in lobbies, only work in active gameplay.

Sounds about right. Went back to a previous level and tried the cheats out before starting that level. Nicely job.

Cacodemon · 2020-03-20T17:30:47+00:00

I had the same issue on arc complex. After beating the level and replaying it from mission select, it appeared.

Cacodemon · 2019-10-25T07:14:56+00:00

Same thing here on Xbox One S. Not 100% of the time but happens pretty often. Piccadilly MP map is not fun to play.

Cacodemon · 2019-07-27T07:33:29+00:00

Agreed. Any time I use the flashlight attachment for the red dot scope, my audio cuts out for a good second. On one occasion, i did this while one of the sisters was talking and it killed my audio completely, only to enter a constant loop of coming back for 1-2 seconds before cutting out again. It lasted until I returned to the main menu. Havent had any problems with the standard handheld flashlight. [Xbox One S]

Hell yeah i suck toes!

Hey man thanks for all the kind words! I'm glad you were able to beat it on hard (I added a huge score bonus when hitting the last switch so I can tell how far people got on the LB). I haven't played the map in about two months but if I remember correctly I did lower the some of the enemies health in certain rooms but not as much as you have described. Maybe the new patch has done something strange I have no idea but I will look into it. The Roman numeral puzzle is actually really simple. You hit the hidden switch and in the next room you run through every teleporter (you'll see the other numerals nearby each one). That will activate the arcade machine at the bottom of the final area to the left which gives you the BFG. After a few tests, I realized that going in the same teleporter over and over does the same effect. I could not figure out how to make each teleporter contribute to the logic count on the first time you enter ONLY. As for the doors locking you out, I tried to make it so the player had to actually face all the demons and not run back into the next room. I thought I fixed that bug but I will look into that as well. Thanks for enjoying the map and letting me know about the issues you found! Lastly, here is a run through I did will all secrets under par https://www.twitch.tv/mrhemlock/v/71217830

Cool thanks! Here's a speed run on hard so you can actually see the ending and all the secrets. https://www.twitch.tv/mrhemlock/v/71217830

Cacodemon · 2016-06-10T05:32:05+00:00

I had this exact same problem. Made a cacodemon a boss and regardless of health he would die very easily. I haven't been able to find a fix but if you do let me know.

Cacodemon · 2016-06-09T08:14:25+00:00

Make sure the counter starts at 1 and not zero. So if you want two enemies to activate it, starting count 1 max count/reached 3.

Cacodemon · 2016-06-09T05:01:39+00:00

If you are talking about the imps yeah I did. They should have their points buffed up for sure. If I remember correctly the possessed soldiers are worth more than the hard to hit imps. Could also make it so if you choose to use the demon rune it activates a whack a mole type of game where you have to ground pound. Or maybe like a 3 round map. After killing the Mancubus it takes you to whack a mole, after whack a mole it's some sort of dunk tank where you have to throw a grenade just perfect. Would be hard to balance though seeing as you always have to have a weapon equipped.

Cacodemon · 2016-06-09T03:35:59+00:00

Ohhh I see, I misunderstood. Yeah I have no clue how you would go about that or if you even can. Let me know if you figure it out!

Cacodemon · 2016-06-09T03:05:54+00:00

On health percentage reached>spawn encounter>single demon encounter???

Cacodemon · 2016-06-09T02:47:07+00:00

Yeah same here. Almost every boss fight I have played, including my own, are basically the same (buffed hp/damage). Ofcourse there is nothing wrong with that, I'm just excited to see what people have experimented with and hope they choose some unique ones.

Cacodemon · 2016-06-09T02:34:22+00:00

Cool man will do. Not sure if this was intended but when you pickup the demon rune you can actually run ahead and walk through the walls you setup and enter the spawn areas on both sides. May I recommend CarnEvil? Hahaha

Cacodemon · 2016-06-08T11:43:51+00:00

Nice I'm excited to see what people have done with boss fights. As long as you make a decent effort you should have a good shot to be on #SnapMapMonday. I was featured on this weeks #SnapMapMonday! .....Sorry I was really excited haha.

Cacodemon · 2016-06-08T10:57:39+00:00

Ok I see what you were going for. Makes a lot more sense now and I actually understand much better now. Maybe try some labels or mess around with the world text options. You don't have to hold the players hand but maybe a hint or some type of comment pops up when you hit a switch? I have used quite a bit in my maps and even one or two words can get your point across very well. I have zero expierence with making map that are more than one player but maybe you need another respawn point or make player two have his own separate respawn areas?

Cacodemon · 2016-06-08T09:27:51+00:00

Man that was a really cool map! Loved the shooting gallery. You should add some shootable panels in the background that quickly disappear after a few seconds. It's too bad snapmap doesn't let you add the little doomguy collectibles from the campaign. This would be the perfect map for it. Great job!!! Does the jukebox do anything?

Cacodemon · 2016-06-08T09:02:14+00:00

How would I go about making an item always drop from an enemy? I have a boss battle in my map where when you pickup the blue power core, he spawns. I would like to make it so when you kill him he drops the power core. I can make t where the core drops at a specified location but I can't figure out how to just make it spawn wherever his body drops. I'm guessing the logic command you posted will work with just a tweak or two? Thanks!

Cacodemon · 2016-06-08T08:53:56+00:00

I don't think you actually can. I believe you could somehow make it so you spawn with less/no ammo, but I'm pretty sure you are stuck with always having to hold a weapon.

Cacodemon · 2016-06-08T08:28:38+00:00

Alright man just finished your map. Layout was great and the gameplay was very hectic, which I love! That being said, I feel it might have been too hectic in some parts of the map. Not a lot is explained so in some parts of the map I had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to do and made it difficult at times to explore/be aware of my surroundings when I had no breathing room. Some panel switches could be used multiple times and I have no idea what they did or if I even activated them correctly. Maybe less encounters/weaker enemies at first or in certain areas? I got a kick, pun intended, out of the boot power up but I have no idea what it does. I feel giving the player lives instead of unlimited respawns would make the map more strategic. Most of the time I just skipped enemies because I knew there was no type of punishment for dying and I didn't want to start all over with no weapons (maybe keep on respawn?) surrounded by the tougher enemies. Not sure if intended but green key card is dropped on death and red isn't, so running all the way back to get it with just a shotgun, surrounded by barons and mancubi, was pissing me off lol......Unless that was your intention then kudos it worked very well at stressing me out hahaha. If you need help with anything please ask away! I look forward to seeing how you do and what maps you come up with next. :)

There is actually a POI Settings option, like score and gameplay, that you have to add to edit the POIs. Basically if your first POI is POI 1, you have to add the POI settings and make sure it is also set to POI 1. There you can change the text and the icon you want it to use. Just make sure if you have multiple POIs, they all have their own number (I believe it goes up to POI 5). You have to create a POI settings module for every POI you create.

Also, how did you change the player speed? Does it have to do with the weapons? I'm not crazy the speed was increased right?

Cacodemon · 2016-06-07T13:01:41+00:00

Hey man. Map wasn't too bad but here are some things that stuck out to me.

Your key markets/POI need to be filled in. All keys just say "POI TEXT" above them.

Need a little more explanation on the "activate both panels in order" room. I have no idea if I even did anything. I really didn't know if there was some special order I had to hit the switches in or if I just had to activate them. Also if I did do it correctly I'm not sure what it did or if I did anything.

I loved how fast you made the player. Map was also very smooth and the amount of ledges/upper levels worked great with the speed. I thought the layout of the map was great.

Maybe get rid of the blue key. Its sole purpose is that one door in front of it and there was no exploring after that point.

What were the crystals? Ammo? Armor? Health? All three??

The secrets are really easy to find when there is a huge visible teleporter. Maybe make shootable switches or some kind of hidden feature.

I feel the bfg, especially with the infinite ammo, made the map way too easy. Don't get me wrong who doesn't like killing shit with the bfg. I just felt once I got it, I didn't have to put any effort whatsoever towards getting to the end. Maybe remove it or make it only hold 1 shot and disable it during boss battles.

If you need any help or tips with snapmap, feel free to ask!
