No risk of ban or anything?

Nothing at all, i've used VPNs to play games earlier and never had any ban or messages.
It's only when you use it to buy cheaper games from other regions when they can ban you.

Nope. I have used VPN's plenty of times before, never even got so much as a flick on the nose.
You're good.
If you want to play at 60fps, why wait? You will probably be able to do it if your GPU is powerful enough.
Can't hurt to try. That's still faster than the consoles, so you might be able to play at 60 fps.
Thanks to all those that responded. I just purchased a PG278Q off my friend for $400. Haven't picked it up yet but i just read the specs and it has an option called ULMB which from what I understand is Nvidia's version of Lightboost so I'm very excited to see it in action. Kind of sux that it doesnt work with Gsync but I'm just excited about the upgrade all together.

Seems like not a lot of people have an Intel 6770 cpu. is it just because its so new? I finally switched over and upgraded from a 8350 and gtx760 the other week to 6770 and gtx970. Still keeping that old box around though.
No risk at all, I've done it a few times, there would be a problem if you sign in to another region and take advantage of lower prices, THAT could get you banned.
So, i5-6600K (no OC), R9 390 (no OC beyond whatever MSI may have applied the GPU, can't recall) and 16GB memory. Freesync display with up to 75hz refresh-rate.
Runs rather well, using high-settings, usually 60+ FPS. Some slowdowns to about 40 FPS at certain places though i haven't been able to figure out what causes them. Possibly smoke, large amount of particles. AA+transparent surfaces like windows were also problematic until i started using FXAA.
Could probably optimize settings a bit, probably up some but whatever, quite pretty game.

Surprised there were no new drivers for this game.
There will be, tomorrow.

Just played for a while on a 780Ti. Generally 50-60fps on 1080p Ultra, but switching levels and dying makes the performance sort of hover around 30fps. Changing some graphics settings makes it "unstuck" again. Anyone experienced something like this?
Edit: Turning off adaptive Vsync seems to have fixed this.

Did you have steam in offline mode when trying to play the second time?

No. Is that the problem? I think I remember having to do that before with this method of unlocking.
Performance on a 980 Ti OC'd with + 120 Mhz :
Playing at 1400p
Everything maxed
AA is at SMAA
Framerates vary from 60 to 110 (never seen it above 120). Absolutely smooth, never saw it drop below 60 FPS.
I'm not using the latest Nvidia drivers.
The game is an absolute joy to play. Very smooth, this is amazing with Gsync (I never noticed until now how tearing sucks in fast paced games)
EDIT
I'm on a 3570K at 4.2 Ghz

I'm having trouble using VPN, the program I'm using is VyprVPN and it's not working.
Is there a step by step solution to this VPN?

I just left the gamma at 1.0 and it's been fine to me. The gamma test screen looks washed out on 1.0 but in the actual game it doesn't feel like that.
And I am on an XB270HU.
Hmmm, I might actually give it a go then. I was worried about this before and I've never messed with this VPN stuff.

Are your color space options correctly set? Check here:

Double click the DOOM icon on the desktop. It opens up the little Steam window for preloading, where you choose the drive.
The game is already installed, unpacked and everything. Has already been played. Yet clicking the icon to play it brings me to a screen telling me to download it and install it to the same fucking place it's already installed.
Why's this still so broken? I've seen people have this problem with other games too.

The process is: vpn > steam > unpack game > start game once to complete setup > put steam in offline > disconnect vpn > play game
If steam is turned 'online' while not connected to the VPN it'll put you back in the preload state.

What's the preformance difference between SMAA and TSAA?

CDKeys seems to be.

And why would I want them?
I bought mine i think for 34.99 on CDkeys.com

Doesn't sound too good :/ Hope the game isn't too CPU heavy.
I have an FX8350 mixed with a 980ti. Granted, I play most games at 4k with this combo and it works absolutely fine for me.
Playing with a 2500k stock, 970gtx, 16gb ram and a 850 pro solid state drive. Everything is butter smooth at 1440p on a Acer G-sync monitor. Settings are high (not ultra) across the board.
Played about 3 hours so far and I'm loving the hell out of this game. It feels old school in all the right ways with just enough modern enhancements sprinkled on top to keep things interesting.

No it isn't, but it is ridiculous to expect developers to easily get the same kind of performance just due to the cruft in OGL, which is one of the reasons behind the ground up approach to Vulkan.
Vulkan will be available for doom "really really shortly after launch". There are still some bugs, such as issues when going over 200fps. I also imagine that since Vulkan hasn't had it's full on debut in a "AAA" game, there would need to be a bunch of extra checks to makes sure everything goes smoothly.

damn for real?! I bought mine yesterday so maybe that has to do with it? 22.00 is an insanely cheap price lol!!

Yo, this game runs really well
90-120 fps adaptive sync
Titan X, maxed 1080p
Core i7 930 @ 4.2 Ghz.
I am excited to see what vulkan does!
The SMAA (1Tx)variant will use analytical AA (SMAA 1x) , plus a TAA that renduces shimmering in movement. TSAA is accumulating previous frames on top of the previous to super sample the image.

When was this? It's hovered around $35 on there since they put it up for sale on there.

Uh.... I'm using Freedome but it won't let me use VPN because it says my trial expired. Same goes for FlyVPN

Use Vypr.
Also, I can't believe how well this game runs. i5 4690K, GTX 970 OC and 16GB ram. Everything is on it's highest setting aside from AA which is down to SMAA. Solid 60fps at 1080p with zero drops at all, not one. I usually have to turn down shadows at least on newer games.
Well here's an update. Going offline and now I almost never drop under 60fps.
Go figure.
