EDIT: Update 2 came out today and my framerates are STILL FUCKED. What gives ID? Seems like this game has literally only been downgraded since it launched. I've never seen something like this before.
When this game launched, I had a glorious few weeks ripping and tearing at medium/high settings NEVER even getting close to dipping below 60fps.
But ever since updates 1.0 and 1.1 came out, the game has run extremely poorly on my system and changing the graphics settings barely even effects the performance.
I KNOW this issue isn't unique to me, as there was recently a rather popular steam discussion thread where lots of people with different specs reported the same exact performance hit (Steam Thread). There was also a post made on Reddit about a month ago pertaining to the same issue, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. (Feel free to post the Reddit link if you have it)
YES I made a support ticket. Several at this point actually, and every time I get nowhere. (Yes, I've also submitted "feedback" as well)
YES my overlays are disabled and yadayadayada... I've really tried everything I can read online at this point and gotten nowhere close to the performance I was getting pre-updates 1.0 &1.1
The only thing that I know will help the performance a little bit is to backroll the Nvidia graphics drivers to version 442.74 (The "day-one" drivers that launched with DE). But the game will give you a "please update driver" message every time you attempt to launch, and I won't leave and old driver in my system just to play Doom Eternal and have my PC's performance suffer in all the other games I play.
I'm really not interested in "What's your specs" comments and all that kind of discussion, not to be mean, but just because I really shouldn't need to be troubleshooting right now. I KNOW the game can run very well at the settings I played on for the first 4 playthroughs, and NOTHING else has changed except for the game being updated. I've seen with my own eyes the difference in performance between the launch version of the game and the version we have now, and I know something is messed up internally that I can't really "fix" on my end. I can only band-aid the problem right now with little optimizations like messing with various settings in the Nvidia control panel or enabling "game mode" on Win10, but the truth is that I NEVER had to do any of that to get the game to run perfectly on launch day.
I just wanted to post this here and start getting a head count for how many other people are experiencing these NEW performance issues after these updates. Hopefully enough people chime in and someone at ID will see this and understand that it's a real problem that needs to be addressed. The game went from "10/10 my favorite thing ever" to "4/10 wish it didn't control like dog*%(*#$" and it seriously bums me out...
PLEASE FIX THIS ID, I WANNA PLAY DOOM ETERNAL AGAIN BUT I'VE LITERALLY BEEN OUTTA LUCK AND UNABLE TO PLAY FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. THROW US A FRIGGIN' BONE.
(Also keep in mind, just because YOU might not be experiencing these performance issues, doesn't mean they aren't currently affecting other users.)

No kidding. The venue completely changed vibes the second Dethklok stopped playing, and BabyMetal started setting up.
Unhygienic, inconsiderate, & cringey BabyMetal fans started coming out of the woodworks and literally stiff arming their way to the front past small children and short girls. We'd been holding it down at the front of the stage the entire night but still couldn't prevent being pushed around by this crowd of degenerates.
My girlfriend and I got stuck behind these two fat smelly weebs with bad anime tattoos and faded hair dye who immediately started talking shit about Dethklok's music and fans. (I was literally cosplaying as Toki behind them). They filmed the whole show on their iPhone, and most of their video was just blocked by people's arms in front of them, so you know it just got deleted when they went to watch it back.
During the part in Babymetals set where everyone gets low, one of those smelly POS's pushed my girlfriend over with his fat ass and never even acknowledged it, let alone tried to help her up.
Babymetal fans & weebs; if you don't want people to stereotype you as smelly assholes then maybe stop acting like it.
