Issues fixed

Sped-up Audio

Setting your audio card to play at a sample rate higher than 48000 Hz will speed up the audio.^[6] Higher sample rates will result in faster speeds.

There is no official fix for this bug.

Set your audio sample rate to 48000 Hz^{[citation needed]}

Incorrect Number of Threads Used

By default, Doom detects the number of cores/threads your computer uses, but may be incorrect.

Type `jobs_numthreads X` in the ingame console where `X` is the number of threads your processor supports^{[citation needed]}

Use the `+jobs_numthreads X` command line argument^{[citation needed]}

Crash on startup after switching to Vulkan API

Update drivers^[7]

Switch back to OpenGL^[8]
Go to `%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base\` Open `DOOMConfig.local` with a text editor such as Notepad or a similar program. Look for the line `r_renderAPI`. If it is set to `"1"`, the game will try to run with Vulkan. Set it to `"0"` for OpenGL. Saves the changes made to the file. Launch the game.
