A hotfix has been deployed to DOOM: The Dark Ages on all platforms that addresses the following issues:
⚖️Balance Updates
Gameplay
Skullcrusher Ravager
Updated damage required to trigger ammo and health drops from standard enemies
Increased damage required to trigger ammo and health drops from Vagary enemies, Xal'Goroth the Imprisoned
Decreased damage dealt to the Pain Elemental
Tormentor (Chain Spear Meathook Orbit Upgrade)
Against Heavy demons, Superheavy demons, or the Henchman
Too many consecutive uses of Tormentor in a short period of time will apply diminishing returns on max time and angle for orbiting the target, eventually leading to the post-orbit lock-on being disabled as well
Against Vagary enemies
Damage dealt is reduced while Tormentor is active
Dreadmace
When Riposte upgrade is active (with 2nd Dreadmace swing available), the backhand swing will now play first
🗺️Levels
Osseus
In the End Game Praetor Fight, updated late-encounter Cyberdemons spawn conditions and defense roles to make them more impactful
🐞Bug Fixes
Chain Spear
Fixed an issue where attempting to initiate a Glory Strike or synced Execution against a demon while also attempting a second Spear slash would leave the player with no hands
Fixed an issue where triggering "Haste" from any Spear ability upgrade caused the "Dash Pass" upgrade to become disabled
👹Bosses
Marok
Fixed an issue where Marok wouldn’t properly target the player while attacking
Xal’Goroth the Imprisoned
Fixed an issue where the player could fall through the floor when attempting to Glory Strike Xal’Goroth
Fixed an issue where Holy Swarm Shield Rune daggers would not spawn when parrying projectiles
👿Enemies
Fixed an issue where attempting to execute an Agaddon Brute Champion too close to a wall could cause the player to become stuck in the wall
Fixed an issue in the Chasm of Xal’Goroth End Game Praetor Fight where the Acolyte Leader could teleport and become stuck inside an ice wall
🏟️Ripatorium
Fixed an issue in Osseus arena where Archviles would rarely teleport outside the map near the water section
Fixed an issue in Osseus where the player could clip inside the floor around the middle-left of the arena
📽️Cinematics
Fixed an issue where the cinematic before Marok's Phase 3 was missing the vignetting border VFX
🎰UI
Fixed an issue where turning ‘OFF’ the Melee Pips visibility was not hiding the icons until a checkpoint was reloaded
Fixed an issue where Slayers Club and Account Creation QR codes appeared blank after quitting to main menu
Fixed an issue on PlayStation 5 where Slayers Club presented a ‘page can't be displayed’ error when selected
Fixed an issue where Shield Saw Teeth were removed from the Shield HUD element upon throwing the Shield
New users will no longer see the bind reset dialog.
🗺️Levels
Hell’s Core
Fixed an issue that allowed the player to use the flamethrower cart to easily kill the Revenant Leader
Fixed an issue where picking up the Blue Skull Key before the checkpoint fired was causing the player to become trapped in the room upon reload/death
Chasm of Xal’Goroth
Fixed an issue where attempting to mantle onto platform pieces that were returning to their original positions could cause the player to clip into the ceiling
Osseus
Fixed an issue where pressing ‘Use’ at the location of the Confessional Stone in End Game could permanently break the player’s save if used
💥Crashes
Fixed a rare crash that could occur during Atlan gameplay sequences
🧠Known Issue
