DOOM Eternal crashing on the final level

I discovered this morning that Doom Eternal's final level is actually so overwhelming, that the game crashes when trying to load it. I can only assume this is to keep immersion and that I need a new GPU to even experience the final level. Truly amazing design.

Here are the possible fixes

Here are some possible solutions that you may try out to fix the constant crashes on PC -

Update Video Card drivers

Firstly, you need to check if you have the latest video card drivers for your Nvidia or AMD graphics card. For an Nvidia graphics card, you can go to the GeForce Experience control panel and update all the drivers. AMD users can do so by visiting the official AMD website and downloading the relevant video card driver for your graphics card.

You should also know that a number of AMD drivers with Windows 8.1 are not compatible with the game. However, you can fix the issue by ensuring that you are on AMD Driver version 19.10.1.
