According to the official Doom Eternal 1.23 patch notes, the latest update brings various stability and performance improvements. Apart from this, today’s Doom Eternal patch 1.23 (1.007) also includes other minor bug fixes.
Previously, an update was released which added brand new, three-level arcade-style single-player Horde Mode (with online leaderboards), two new Master Levels, and BATTLEMODE 2.0.
Unfortunately, since the last patch, players are still experiencing several issues. Today’s Doom Eternal version 1.23 will fix a few of these issues.

- Addressed a bug when immediately tabbing on the Victory Summary screen would not reward the BFG ammo
- Fixed a bug where the player could not progress to the next arena if they spam the dash button when acquiring the new weapon at the end of an Arena Round
- We set a new Hode Mode final score softcap of 500,000 pts. and purged the global Leaderboards of any scores above it, as we’ve deemed those to be non-human. As always, in the spirit of the mode and the sanctity of classic IRL local arcades, we encourage you to challenge other Slayers on your friends list, and most importantly, your own personal best
- We encourage any Slayer looking to prove their Horde Mode global dominance to check out the brand new, community-run, peer-reviewed,Unofficial Horde Mode Leaderboard
