[PS4/ONE/Switch] Classic DOOM games update now available (Update 9/3: Widescreen support, Ultra-Violence+, gyro aiming and more!)
- Thread starter disgraciau
- Start date
Just checked. Feels exactly the same. Feels pretty rotten after playing Doom 64 on Xbox this morning.
Not seeing it yet on either game despite having received the patch.
Isn't that an issue with the switch sticks in general? The deadzone is very loose in general.
The previous patch introduced massive input delay. It doesn't feel like Doom at all.
Doom 64 is a very nice port on the other hand. You may want to check that.
Just the switch version, or are all versions affected by this?
I play on Switch so I can vouch for that. Not sure about the other platforms.
Strangely I only saw it available for Doom 1 and not for 2, though that might just be a server issue on their end.
Feels great on PS4 after this recent patch. Also 60fps instead of 35fps like the original.
I've been waiting for them to add more mods, that's awesome! They sure did right by these ports in the long run.
Ya, because it's a Doom 1 mod. It won't work with Doom2. (TNT and Plutonia are full IWADs which is why they can appear in both, they don't depend on the base content.)
Yeah I'm playing that now. It feels great to play.
I see. Sadly, I only have the Switch.
What platform was this recorded from? Controller doesn't look like a Nintendo one but could be 3rd party.
It's gotta be their TV. I can confirm its not this bad on PS4. In fact there's no lag, but something is off with the aiming.
I absolutely hate the automap counters in the PC ports and always turn them off, and yet they didn't make this an option in the new ports. Really disappointed.
I'd bet from the steps taken by CatAssTrophy to identify the problem that he knows how to set its tv or monitor up for gaming.
Anyway, even if it's not lag, something about aiming was made worse by the 60fps patch and the game doesn't feel like it should, at least on Switch. It's even more obvious now that 64 is out and happens to run so perfectly.
PS4 Pro with a standard DS4 controller. I had the same experience with my metallic blue as well as my purple DS4's so it wasn't a controller problem.
Yes, I have my TV set up properly, and this is one of the extremely few games that have had any kind of lag between my input and it reflecting on screen. I even tried Doom 64 and it works PERFECTLY.
I haven't tried the old Doom games in a while but no new patches have released since the last time I tried it so I guess I just wasted the money on them.
See above. No I haven't tried again since the last update a while back. Was a new one released?
Also, I remeber Digital Foundry saying they noticed a slight increase in lag but apparently it wasn't a big deal to them, but they may be using a super low latency set compared to my fairly impressive TCL 6 Series 65" unit.
The game got patched a few hours ago. Don't feel any improvement on Switch.
Also your TCL set seems to score around 20ms of display lag. It doesn't explain the results from your gif.

Just finished episode 1 of No End In Sight. It's a wild ride, that much is for sure. Can't say I'm a huge fan of WADs where by level 2 you're in this crazy complex and huge geometries already with 200 enemies throughout the level, but they fit in well in the latter half of the episode where the spaces opened up.
Just installed it...
Loaded up the game...
Started a new game...
AND IT'S FIXED NOW!!!! PRAISE BE TO THE DEVS THAT TOOK IT SERIOUSLY!!!
Also loaded my previous 2 save files and they both worked without issue. (just to rule out anything being tied to a save file)
I was slaying tons of demon ass as opposed to me barely being able to hit anything that wasn't directly in front of me like it was before. As soon as I finish Doom 64 I'll swing back over to these to finish them up. :)

Wait, so does the new patch fix the lag in all versions? Sorry for asking again but I didn't expect another patch to affect the game performance.
So do the classic Dooms have input lag on all consoles? Or is that problem platform-exclusive?
Ah I see this was asked just earlier:

Oh, this is incredible. I've only played the first few levels and was really hoping it would hit this release.
... looks up
I mean... Yeah? Addon support, various bug fixes (including over the original DOS code), inter-frame interpolation support for 60FPS. Stuff like that.
Wow. That's an excellent WAD. People who never played it should do so.
That's great! And who knows, we might even get Episode 3 before Episode 1's 10 year anniversary! :V
EDIT: To explain; BTSX Episode 2 was released as a beta in 2014, and development on the series sort of stalled after that. Communications about Episode 3 restarted last year, and about two weeks ago one of the developers said that their current main focus is to formally finish Episode 2 before going all in on Episode 3. Today, Episode 2 was finally officially released out of beta (which technically makes this mod a same-day release for the original Doom and this port), so now they can finally focus on Episode 3.
