- id Software's Doom: The Dark Ages is facing crashing issues on handheld gaming PCs, particularly those with AMD Ryzen Z1 chips.
- The problem seems to stem from outdated drivers on devices like the Asus ROG Ally, impacting gameplay and causing frequent crashes.
- The crashes are attributed to the lack of driver support from handheld PC vendors like Asus and Lenovo for newer AMD drivers.
- Despite the Premium Edition release offering early access, AMD-powered handheld gaming PCs are advised to avoid playing Doom: The Dark Ages for now.
- Games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and The Last of Us Part 2 are also affected, with driver crashes hindering gameplay on handhelds.
- The issue reveals a broader lack of support from vendors, causing frustration for users who rely on these devices for gaming.
- The importance of consistent driver updates for a smooth gaming experience is highlighted, especially for high-priced handheld gaming PCs.
- Users facing these issues may encounter 'Code 43' errors when attempting to manually install newer drivers, leading to further complications.
