Can’t Redeem DOOM: The Dark Ages in NVIDIA App? Try This Quick Fix

Fahim is experiencing issues redeeming his DOOM: The Dark Ages game code via the NVIDIA app, likely due to IPv6 interference with server communication. To resolve this, temporarily disable IPv6 by accessing network settings through the Start Menu, unchecking 'Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)' for your active connection, and then retrying the redemption in the NVIDIA app. After successful redemption, simply re-enable IPv6 following the same steps. This workaround has proven effective for many users facing similar issues.

The Problem

You enter your game code, but nothing happens. The redemption process either fails silently or shows a vague error. This can often be caused by how your system communicates with NVIDIA’s servers—especially when IPv6 is enabled.

  2. Find your active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.

  3. Right-click it, and select Properties.

Once your redemption is successful:

  1. Repeat the steps above.
  2. Go back into the network adapter properties.
  3. Re-check the IPv6 box.
  4. Click OK to apply and restore normal network configuration.

Final Notes
