Is it safe to update DOOM: The Dark Ages?

SafeGG — update away.

Each DOOM: The Dark Ages update needs a new supported-build entry for the Atlan patcher; mods themselves can still break after updates.

⚠ Steam only. Even when the loader supports the current build, individual mods can still break after an update. If the game crashes on startup, delete modloader_cache.bin and rerun the mod loader.

Where does the data come from?

Game patches come from Steam's public build record (Steam PICS via api.steamcmd.net, app 3017860), because this game's updates often ship without a Steam post. Framework data comes from the Atlan patcher's supported-build list and the mod loader's GitHub release. ModSafe does not scrape Nexus Mods or SteamDB.

How do I stop Steam from auto-updating DOOM: The Dark Ages?

Steam has no 'never update' option. In your Library, open DOOM: The Dark Ages > Manage > Properties > Updates and set Automatic updates to 'Wait until I launch the game', then launch through your mod loader or play in Offline Mode. Steam has no previous-version branch for DOOM: The Dark Ages (checked Oct 26, 2026), so back up the game folder before patches; rolling back otherwise means the Steam console's download_depot command.
