The embargo is officially lifted, and you can now submit your runs!
Here are a few key details now that submissions are open:
Main Rules
-
FPS Counter – PC runners must display the in-game FPS counter (Performance Metrics in options). It must be visible and unobstructed throughout the run.
-
FPS Cap – PC runners must cap their framerate at 200 FPS or lower
Runs performed prior to today not capped at 200 will be accepted, but this will be a strict requirement moving forward

Ruleset definition for 100%
DOOM: The Dark Ages is out today for Deluxe Edition players!
We’re excited to hop in and see what we can do - but for now, speedrun submissions are under embargo :)
This gives us time to let the dust settle while:
- Everyone enjoys their casual playthroughs
- Early routes and skips are discovered
- Categories and timing rules get locked in
- Tooling (like the autosplitter) starts to take shape
🕛 Submissions are planned to open on May 29 at 12pm EST, but this could shift slightly depending on how things develop.
In the meantime, join the MDSR Discord to follow discoveries, route with others, and be part of the rule/category creation process.
See you there!
