Why do you need to? It's Steamworks now?

Dark Souls GFWL to Steamworks Migration is now live.

You need to run the GFWL version first before it can transfer your saves over to the steamworks version.
Yeah, you only need to do that if you want to bring over your old GFWL saves.

I thought the window for that had passed- my bad.

I have to admit, since I'm an Australian I'd much rather GFWL than region locked multiplayer and I hope From Software does fix this.

Opt-in to the beta 2.0 branch to get rid of G4WL.

I've loaded this up for the first time since before Steamworks support was added but it keeps crashing when I load it. It loads a white screen in a window and then says that Dark Souls has stopped working. Does anyone have any advice?
Do you have DSFix installed?

I literally just went through this this morning.
Your DSFix is probably outdated. Delete it and get the newest version. Or better yet, delete it, then do the process to update to get rid of GFWL, *then* download the latest DSFix. Just ensures there's no compatibility issue that can pop up.

I got rid of DSFix and it loaded up so I checked that my save was there. It was and so I closed the game and then set it to the Steamworks version. When I load it now, my saves aren't there and it doesn't recognise my 360 controller.
It seems that someone else had the same problem with saves on the last page. Has anyone managed to resolve the problem?
EDIT: I switched off the beta and let it update itself again. I signed into GFWL and this time it unlocked the achievements in Steam. My save was still there. I closed the game, reapplied the beta and this time my save was in the Steam version.
Now I just need to get my controller working again. It has no problem on Dolphin so it isn't the controller itself.

I have the same problem, but difference is, I did the Steamworks update a while ago with the new DSfix of the time (2.3) and it worked fine but suddenly stopped working recently.
Just now I just overrode it with 2.3.1 and still the same thing.

Small 5.5MB patch today, Region Locking is gone, PVP is crazy right now, like i don't go 30 seconds without an invade.
DSfix will need to be updated for the frame rate unlock though.

That's awesome. I was playing it late last night to early this morning and it was a ghost town. Nobody to be seen anywhere.
Still a bit of a ghost town for me as well.

Some guy on the Steam forums made a quick fix:

It's probably better to just wait for an official fix from Durante.
Does anybody know if your characters/profiles/avatars is stored in the steam cloud?
Reason I am asking is that GFWL did this, and I mistakenly thought DkS2 did this; which uses steamworks (lost all my characters
Anyone?

Technically Durante never fixed the FPS unlock. It was always someone else. Last time it was a̶ ̶r̶o̶g̶u̶e̶ ̶F̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶S̶o̶f̶t̶w̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶e̶m̶p̶l̶o̶y̶e̶e̶ some japanese guy.
Durante might aswell implement that new fix from the Steam community.

My saves did not carry over when i upgraded my OS. Transfer them to a usb stick.
I think the point is rather that some might be more comfortable downloading a dsfix update from Durante than from some random unknown guy on steam community.
Ok, thx for the clarification.
People are free to run binaries from who knows where, but they should be aware that replacing that .dll is equivalent to starting a .exe in terms of what it can do. So you should trust the source as much as if you were running an arbitrary binary program (because that's what you are doing).
I'm not saying anything bad will happen - that seems unlikely - just don't come to me crying on the off chance it does

So I have it running with dsfix and framerate unlocked. No idea how I got it working but I did. Thank god because it was running at sub 30 fps for some reason and now it's 60 constant with occasional dips. Are people still playing at a locked 30? I messed with it for a full day trying everything I could think of and now it seems to be running great. Wish I knew what I did to fix it....

Edit: Nevermind, got it to work now.
Damn, I was on vacation at the time and totally missed this news last month. I'm trying to transfer my saves, but GFWL won't let me sign in. It just says:
I checked the xbox.com site, since usually when I can't sign in, it's because of some bullshit user agreement that I need to agree to on their site first, but nothing... Did they shut down the servers already? OP says Feb. 16th.

I can confirm that it's working.
Latest Dsfix was causing a crash on startup when the FPS was unlocked, this fixed the issue.

It works now with the latest dsfix from durante, but anyone else has problems with borderless fullscreen? It just freezes the image on "Press the start button" and I can hear the selection sound on the background.

This same thing happened to me lol. I figured my character was stored online like DS1. Got a new PC only to find out this isn't the case.
Seems like I'm starting a new character when the remaster comes out.

run as admin and maybe turn off unlockfps?

If this helps anyone, I never bothered updating DSfix and am still running 2.2. It continues to work with this latest patch. Don't know about 60 fps, though, as I don't have it enabled.

Working now for some reason.
Try turning off two-step verification in the security preferences of your xbox account.
You always have to play for 10-20 minutes before you are available for matchmaking.
