Dark Souls II PC |OT| Give us smooth, Give us silky

DS2 might be like Dark Souls in that it supports DirectInput and Xinput controllers (but provides no button mapping). Having a Dinput controller plugged in just messes everything up.
Indeed, certianly not an AMD specific thing. HD7950, 1080p and 60fps max settings with no tweaking or frustration whatsoever. Runs incredibly well. The crashes seem like a VPN thing or an offline mode thing. Hopefully, anyway.

Seriously! That trailer is ridiculous!
I cannot wait to see what Dark Souls III, or a Demon's Souls II, or perhaps an all-new game with a new name in the 'Souls series can be like in say, late 2016 on PlayStation 4 - Native 1080p, locked 60 FPS plus
, current gen levels of geometry detail, DX11-class shaders (meaning & post processing effects etc.
In otherwords, a 'Souls game built for the new current-gen consoles PS4, XBone.
A PC version soon follows, can crank everything upto Ultra, and has 4K resolution option out of the box, and again, runs very well on modest PCs of 2016.

This is going to be veeery Off-topic but holy shit, NIER's OST is amazing. I haven't played the game, yet. Listening to it while I do some programming right now. Sorry for the small derail, LOL.
Back on topic: Are you already playing the game? Wish I could! I have to wait until I get home, lol.

Good catch. Logged out of everything Ii could think of and still didn't work. Oh well, I'll see you all in about 8 hours
Well usually those that have no issues play the game and ignore the forums. I'm only here to google a bit about classes before going back. Currently in character creation, no issues so far (apart from Steam mobile client overriding VPN but that's what you get for using VPN).
A modest PC of 2016 is probably going to be more powerful than a PS5.
Let that sink in for a moment.
I believe Durante may have been using a special method to play at 4k
Durante was playing at 1440p right?
PC Gamer has an extremely powerful computer with a 4K monitor I believe, that is how we were getting the 4K shots.

It's just that the first couple of people who had the crash here happened to be AMD users so the assumption was it had something to do with that. Then Nvidia users reported the same problem. And it's working fine for other AMD users.
Make sure no other controllers are plugged in and that you don't have some other program like X360ce running. Unplug the controller, plug it in and then restart Steam / DSII

Unlocked via VPN, seems to work fine (on AMD graphics). Going online in Steam without VPN would just lock the game, right?
He also posted an 8k screenshot.

I wonder if Durante will surprise us today with some sort of ehem... well... you know
I am praying for 120fps mod

My controller seems to work fine, save for the fact that the game seems to completely fail to register any movement of the right stick.

You can also disable/re-enable this stuff in windows device manager.
Amazing. Cannot believe we still have to do this, when other JP games like MGR:R and Binary Domain don't have this problem.

I'm not going to toy around with VPNs and am gonna stick to the launch in 5 or so hours.
Not much longer now.

It's in the OP
Where? And are you sure he took it or was it the Large Pixel Collider on PC Gamer?
If he took and posted an 8K shot, could mean great things for the potential of DS2Fix.

nope, i still use lifegems and attack when I move the right analogue stick
well, got no one to blame but myself, i knew I shouldnt buy a from software game on launch, but I got weak today.
looks like I'll have to wait until the give us a manual option to turn on gamepad support.

Did some fraps benchmarking in the intro area. With everything maxed, at 1080 and with the nvidia inspector settings from durante, the game runs 60fps without drops. If you increase SGSSAA to x8 (from x4), the fps drops to 40-50 regularly. This is with 3570k@4.4, 8Gb ram, geforce 780 sli (one of them not used ofc), and win7.
Knowing who Durante is, it's reasonable that he could have the ability to do things the general population can't. I'm excited to see article 3.

Maybe 8k DS2 might actually playable with AO on this time.

Ah, I'm having the same issue. So annoying.
Ironically, my controller worked fine with the first Dark Souls with no need to run any external programs or otherwise configure it.

I have my doubts that we will be seeing any console version of a Souls game running at 60fps unless it's ports of the PS3/360 games to the PS4/Xbone. You're not taking graphical escalation into account. With better hardware they will want to do more demanding graphical effects, which will in turn most likely push whatever console they develop for more and so far From Software haven't exactly been shown to be technical wizards in the slightest.

Downloading the update via VPN is taking foreeeveeeeeeeeeeeeeer. 5 hours left. Is it possible to download it via normal connection?
Try forcing SLI through Inspector by using the Dark Souls 1 SLI bit, see how far that gets you.

Thanks for this, now I don't have to test it myself. SGSSAA x4 it is.
Unlocked via VPN and using an AMD card, works here. Got a rendering bug though, objects in front of the sky boxes have a colored outline based on what location it is. Betwixt had blue, and Majula orange. I haven't bothered to update drivers in a while so I'm going to do that and mess with GPU settings to see if it's something there.
Yep! That's exactly what I was talking about. Awesome to see him finally releasing it to the general public, its god damned cool.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
New page, sorry.

Download it normally (without VPN) and then use the VPN to unlock and download the update. Don't use the VPN to download the entire game.

Yeah. I couldn't even get my browser to load pages while using a VPN, even though I managed to get the game to unlock.
