DOOM: The Dark Ages Update 1.014 for Revelations Hotfix 1 on July 10
Just a few days ago, id Software released the DOOM: The Dark Ages Revelations DLC, which also brought a major patch for base-game owners.
Unfortunately, there were issues that came along with it, but they should be sorted with today’s download, which should appear as DOOM: The Dark Ages update 1.014, and is Hotfix 1 for the Revelations DLC.
The main issue fixed here is the ?? issue with the Chain Spear, though there are other fixes included as wsell.
DOOM: The Dark Ages Revelations DLC Hotfix 1 Out on July 10
The following issues have been addressed with today’s update:
- Fixed the Chain Spear’s inputs being unbound as “??”, however in doing so we’ve reset all player bindings back to default, so please make sure you go in and rebind anything you previously customized
- Fixed the issue in Hell’s Core where dying in combat could place some users behind a red wall blocking progression
- Fixed the issue in Osseus where dying in combat could place some users behind a red wall blocking progression
- Fixed a number of the most prevalent crashes (a full list will follow)
Other issues acknowledged by the devs, though most of these have workarounds, include:
- Issue: Main Menu music plays during combat in the Ripatorium after restarting in some circumstances
Resolution: Players can use the Jukebox to reset the music if this issue occurs - Issue: Chain Spear and Shield Saw abilities stop responding after performing Chain Spear attacks while the Player’s primary weapon runs out of ammo
Resolution: Change weapons, use a melee attack, or load the most recent checkpoint to resolve this issue - Issue: Chain Spear and Shield Saw abilities stop responding after interacting with a Hollow Shrine
Resolution: Avoid using dash and slash abilities in quick succession immediately before interacting with Hollow Shrines. Loading the most recent checkpoint will resolve this issue - Issue: Master Arenas may not spawn enemies when successfully repeating multiple times
Resolution: Load the previous checkpoint to restore enemy spawns - Issue: Master Slayer Trial timer display falls out of sync when Game Speed setting is modified
Resolution: Players can restore the Game Speed to default to resolve this issue
While these issues have workarounds, hopefully, they’ll be resolved in a future update. If id Software releases a more comprehensive changelog, we’ll update the article.
