DOOM is one of the few games I play when I have free time. I played DOOM 2016 just fine but DOOM Eternal on Steam will not load for me at all. I have 16 minutes play time without seeing the title screen at all. I can play GTA V and other such games on Steam just fine but DOOM Eternal won't even load.

What do I need to upgrade on my PC to play it?

SSD or Spinner?

SSD for the operating system but I moved all my Steam games to a regular HDD

That would be a logical upgrade to start with. Not saying it is THE issue, but if you are having bad load times it will certainly help. FWIW: Try a NVME one on an adapter in a spare PCIe slot - providing you have one. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you, I will check that out. What I don't get is that I moved all my games to the HDD well over a year ago and haven't had any issues. I have played a few games since then, it's just this one game that is troublesome. It opens like it wants to run but immediately quits. I have never once seen the title screen or anything for this game. It's very odd.
