Thought maybe it was my GPU overheating, but its barely hitting 80C - and hasn't been a problem before
Ah well, I get a good 45 minutes between crashes. Here I go killing again!
Here’s an example of what’s going on when I try to play #DOOMEternal. I cannot advance past this cutscene. If I try to skip it, the game still crashes. pic.twitter.com/9S5XwAQXhJ

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.

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.
