Dark Souls GFWL to Steamworks Migration is now live.

Poise makes it so you don't flinch or get knocked away from attacks so it's easier to continue attacking with say, a large slow greatsword. It also makes it easier for enemies to land multi-hit attacks as well though. It's been a while but I believe getting knocked down has invulnerability frames as well.

Yeah, I-frames from hard hits are pretty valuable at times.

Ahh, I can see that. I've always played as high dex characters so never ran into that.

However, I don't think that advice really stacks up there with the rest of the advice in the image and is worded so obtusely that I feel it would cause more confusion than anything else.
 
Was able to manually copy my backed up save files after installing the beta. I guess Steamworks support doesn't mean that the Saves are stored on Steam Cloud, right? I hate having to manually backup Saves.
 
Getting all my ducks in a row right now.

I'm just so incredibly thankful for this! Dark Souls means a lot to me, as it does to all who have spent significant time with. I'm just glad the time was taken to ensure its future. This was wholly unexpected, and they did right by the game.
 
Still blows my mind every time i think about how From Software has stuck to their guns ever since the days of Kings Field and are now the hot shit. Fucking kings field man

Getting stuck at bonfires is just a part of the 60 fps experience. It introduces bugs like that when enabled. Try not to perform an action too quickly after using a bonfire, as I find that it seems to make it happen more often. I'm also pretty sure texture mods still work, but I haven't tried re-installing mine yet.

ah, alright

sadly it seems like netcode hasn't changed? so it's still gonna be a ghost town?

that's disappointing

I've also noticed the ghostliness in both a new game and my late game file. I guess most people moved onto DS2?

And before anyone says it, I don't consider dicking around in the Forest a fun or proper Souls experience. I know that place is always populated but some of us just want to wail on bosses.

Everyone change your Download region to Finland.

the devs/FROM left the default distance filtering on, easy mistake. So people are getting around it by using Finland

From a Twitch chat, apparently it's making connections work much better.

Wait, wat?
 
New PC....New to Steam...New to Dark Souls.

Got the game when it was on sale around Black Friday and have been waiting anxiously to play it.

Installed it finally tonight, fixed up DSFix...60FPS, 360 Pad, 1080p res....I'm in love. Running flawlessly out of the gate.

Thanks so much Durante!

This was my experience over about 20 minutes. Mind, it would take this long or longer to even get one invasion with GFWL for me.

Invaded someone in Ooacile forest: momhavel and another Greatshield user. Decent connection.
Invaded someone in Township: Unplayably laggy
Someone invaded me in Township: My game crashed

Try this, seriously
 
Cool now I'll beat Artorias and see if their are any PVPers, I was beating the shit out of PVPers while I was in the Painted World of Ariamis(farming souls and humanity...also fun).

I swear there is nothing like facing another player though, some matches are like playing a crazy super deadly DMC esque game, while others are the kinds of things you read about in fiction and history; two warriors patiently examining each others moves until the other leaves an opening for the kill.

It's exhilarating.
 
tried 60fps for the first time ever and DAMN!!. Hopefully i will get some free time to finally continue this game.

also this version of dsfix fixed the title screen for me as well
 
So I've followed the instructions so far, update DSfix to 2.3, but I still don't have an option to load my save on the title screen.

Am I supposed to get prompted to log in to GFWL after launching the new beta?
 
Huh. This is the first time I've actually seen the game in its locked resolution. Honestly it doesn't look completely unplayable to me. Looks like... a PS3 game, which I guess is still tolerable to my eyes.

Did you have the option to load your saves from the GFWL install before? Then, yes, you should.

You're supposed to first log in to GFWL version before launching the beta. Check the OP.

its usually before actually since the "original version will give you the option to log in GWFL , then after logging in it will deal with your save file and achievements.

Once that's done then opt in the beta so you never see the GWFL stuff again.


You could opt out to the older version and see if that works (i tried it but something went wrong which could have been an issue on my side tbh)

"poise will occasionally get you killed" what do they refer to?

The lack of reaction to incoming damage could be psychological handicap because most of the time, player wouldn't realize their health is already low, and when they do, it's already too late.
 
I've been experimenting with online play the past hour or so. For the most part does not seem any better than before with GFWL, sadly.

Seemed to work one time for me, when I tried the suggestion to change Steam's D/L region to Finland. Jumped in game and warped to Oolacile Township and right away my SL118 got invaded. Then for the next few minutes there were bloodstains and ghosts all around the bonfire there. I was thinking, all right seems like this is how to do it.

So then I quit out to load my back up save for my Darkmoon Blade character, jump in game again to the same place and its completely desolate. No bloodstains, no invasions, and my blue orb fails to invade time after time.

Its almost seemed as if briefly I was connected to a popular server, then just disconnected and could not rejoin.
 
For those that try to log into GFWL but can't for whatever reason, see if you have 2-step verifcation enabled.

Disable, then try logging in again inside the game.
 
So I need the Greatshield of Artorias, Drake Sword, and Dark Hand to pick up my final achievement. Can anyone help me?

I'm at SL 100.
 
Hmmm, I really wanted alot of co-op on my playthrough... waited for like 15 minutes at Gargoyles trying to get summoned with no luck. Guess I'll wait for the region locking fix. Hope it's quick!
 
Hahahaha yes!!
GFWL is deleted forever, and the game is running awesome on my computer!! :)

I downloaded the latest DSfix 2.3, and am running at 60 fps now!
However "dsfix edition" does not appear on the title screen anymore when I boot up the game. Shouldn't it??
 
Lol, I got it working.

GFWL was getting confused because I had two accounts for some reason.

The save was on my other account.
 
Hey guys since I've now got a GTX 970 I've been meaning to try some of the advanced features of the dsfix (newest 2.3 steamworks), but had a question.

What is considered the best AO to use for visual quality? VSSAO2 or SCAO.
 
So, I logged in the game with GFWL, it automatically started registering my achievements to Steam, i quit and then booted the game again, i see no GFWL log in, i see my achievements in Steam, and also i see my save file in the same location as before.
Am i good?
 
Really wish I could keep a solid 60fps all the time. I know I'm LTTP with the 60fps fix but some areas completely tank the frames. I got to Demon Ruins on one of my older saves and it drops almost 30 frames when looking in certain directions. It fucks up my timing way more than playing in 30fps, which I can literally do with my eyes closed at this point.
 
Hopefully either the region lock gets removed or dscfix gets updated to support steamworks because apparently trying to match up with people is still a pain to do.

It's such a dumb thing to have as a developer setting too, I think if you want region based play or not should be up to the user. Volvo pls
