The sound quality in PC version seems much better than the console counterpart. Now I can hear voices and grunts that I have never heard before.
It's like, awesomeness flowing through your veins.

Like a mouthwash enema, it stings a bit at first but leaves you feeling cool and refreshed.

Yeah, that thing was a godsend considering how insanely difficult it was to connect to people with GFWL. It may not be needed if they fix the region locking though as I never had too much trouble connecting to people on ps3 despite the whole p2p setup.I hope dscfix gets updated, I miss near-instant friend summoning.
You don't get it from the DLC - it's a part of the base game.
You use the soul of Sif to craft it.
Greatshield of Artorias is obtained via forging a shield with Sif's Soul IIRC.
Did for me. You mean about hiding the cursor? I set it from 0 to 1 in the settings

Two invasions so far and it feels just like it did before, as expected (I love it!). Have any big Dark Souls streamers agreed on a download location so everyone can match up? I feel like I'll be playing against the same one or two people if I leave mine on 'Australia.'
Thanks to From and Durante and all else involved really.Rawket Lawnchair

Follow the instructions in the .ini and don't use a DoF resolution equal to your rendering resolution.

Are there people who don't sing All Apologies when they encounter Solaire?

Hmm, matchmaking works sometimes but not consistently enough for me to start a new game. I'll just wait for them to make it completely region-free.

Probably don't slide down on ladders since there is a small chance you can slip through the floor and die.

Is there a setting that stops armour textures turning to shit when you move the camera too close? I want to appreciate the goodness!
60fps Dark Souls is amazing. I really don't know how I played that many hours on console now, and after every other game at 60 on PC I don't know if I could have gone back to 30fps.

Again? Again.

Trying to co-op through the Undead Burg with a friend and he can't see my sign. I've never actually done co-op in Dark Souls 1 before so how long does it usually take for a sign to appear?
Are you in the same country?

It's a shame, that's what it is. I want to spend my time in lifts admiring details.
So setting download to Finland - does that require a reinstall, or does it take effect immediately?

Ahahaha I never considered that until now, but it's brilliant!
You can turn it off in DsFix.ini, just set disableDofScaling to 1. It looks a lot better, but has a performance hit.
And no, that doesn't require a reinstall. All it does is restart Steam.

No, but we set our download regions in Steam to the same location. After quite a long time he said he saw my sign but his game crashed as soon as he tried to pick it up. We gave up after that, so hopefully it eventually gets better.

Gotta download the whole game again? Disappointing
Previous to the update it took up to 10-15 minutes for the sign to appear for the first time. I know, I played the entire game in coop. More than once.
The bright side is that once you've summoned them successfully a single time your systems would be linked up and all later summons in that session are basically instant. So, play in long sessions.

I'll give that a go. Thanks Rock.
On a side note, this might be the time to overclock my 970 to maintain a solid 60fps in Blighttown. Or maybe I need to OC the 4690k. That's so much more effort though. It drops to about 53 at times, and high 40s at worst. Still not anywhere near console, and that alone is worth the entry fee. So good.
In a few days, it almost certainly will be.

What happens if I've bought the game but haven't installed it - is there some time window required to transfer it over or is it automatic?
Right. Hopefully it's also fine for my gift copies yet to give away.

Now I can't see any signs, messages or bloodstains. I think I'm going to let this sit for a week or so until things get properly sorted out. I'm very happy with the overall performance of the game now though, as well as how fast it is to launch and load my save. A definite improvement over the GFWL version in those aspects.

So uuh... my saves didnt import

Have not tried this as I never ran into your problem...however it may be worth giving a shot:
Opt out of the game's beta, uninstall the game, delete your local save folders, download the GFWL version of the game again, download your profile data from within the game, confirm that your saves are present from within the DarkSouls interface (GFWL version), opt into the beta again and try again.
i actually woke up earlier today so I could play for a bit before I went out, it has been a while since I was this excited to play something, ever since last holidays, when I was playing... Dark Souls.

a) Don't set DoF to the same res as your rendering resolution, set it lower and that should fix it.
b) Are you using the newest DSfix? If you're not, then update it, the previous one has a problem with the framerate unlock.
