Has anyone got their DS4 to work? It works for other games like FFXIV, but I can't get it to work for DS2.

 

[Jin]

Thanks, that's good to know. I would hate to come home and fiddle with the controller settings and stuff.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

I caved and went VPN. I hope Gaben doesn't delete all my 600 games on Steam

 

[Levito]

So glad they moved the unlock time up to today.

 

[Grief.exe]

I have a USB cable, but the lights on the controller kept flashing when plugged into my PC.

Have you bothered to install anything? Or did you just plug it in?

Yes multiple people have gotten the DS4 to work. Ironically, two had just posted how well it was working above your first post.

You are more than fine. There has never been issues with circumventing release dates using VPN.

You are a paying customer after all.

Will join the frenzy tomorrow

Picking up mine tomorrow right after I get my mouth shredded by a dentist.

Forcing SSAA (4x) from the CCC makes the blue/red outlines around objects as well. Don't know how to fix it.

Oh well...i think it can't be fixed. Downsampling is the only viable way at this point.

All the post I see are talking about DS3, not DS4. I confirmed that the controller is actually working on my computer. Dark Souls 2 just isn't detecting it for some reason. I'm using DS4Tool.

Dinner will be very brief this evening.

Are you using SweetFX? Those look really good!

v 1.5 + Durante's custom profile

 

[Parsnip]

You guys are going to learn a lot more about GeDoSaTo and Dark Souls 2 soon. Be ready.

It's weird but I'm almost more excited about the "Generic texture overriding for all textures loaded using D3DX" feature than downsampling. Texmod needs a replacement badly.

 

[impact]

I don't think I like the look of SweetFX in this game from the screenshots I've seen.

Me neither, it looks too saturated.

I couldn't get this damn VPN thing to work so I guess I'm on #teamlate

 

[Mkilbride]

Tried the guide. Google is in JP and my IP has changed, however...Steam still just says "PRe-load"

 

[BadTaste]

lol. I'm using Xinput, I couldn't have followed the tutorial any better.

Make sure to check the "hide DS4 controller" to ensure only an emulated XBox 360 controller. To do this correctly you have to close all programs that have access to the controller beforehand and then start them afterwards so they will recognise it.

Yes DS4 works fine with the Xinput wrapper. Make sure you start that before launching Steam and the game. Select "hide DS4 controller" if you're having problems, and disconnect anything else that might be detected as a controller.

 

[mario_O]

So, I can run this perfectly on my monitor. But if I switch to my plasma TV and try to run it it crashes on start up. Managed to trick it by dragging the windowed version of the game from the monitor to the TV and then switching to full screen however, that's a little annoying. Running on a 550ti and both at 1080p. Anyone in a similar situation?

Bizzare, I have the same problem I can't run it on my plasma and I don't have a monitor, but I did manage to get it to work with my Oculus Rift O_O.

And there were a couple more right above you discussing their use of DS4

Make sure you have the latest version (1.3), make sure you followed the readme correctly by installing the included drivers, and make sure you turn off the directinput version by selecting the hide DS4 option.

Restarting the computer also helps.

 

[Durante]

That's great. Please come up with a better name though

Too late

Amazon sent me a mail saying the game can now be downloaded/the key will be shown, since they processed the payment.

Alas, nothing to see, no download, no key, nothing.

I'll never preorder/buy digital on Amazon again I guess :/ Pretty disappointed, not what I expected.

Did you go to your digital game library on Amazon? The code might not be in the email itself

Same here. What kind of bug is that??

 

[Mkilbride]

Weird, now my IP won't go back to normal even though I killed the VPN and restarted.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Yeah. Still showing "will be unlocked on etc etc"

 

[Robot Pants]

Are any of the deals for this game still active?

 

[-MD-]

Too late

I woulda went with something a little more simple like GDSTool.

 

[Grief.exe]

Dark Souls II will be the first time I use the DS4 at all.

 

[xBladeM6x]

GDSTool.

I vote for this.

 

[Jito]

Anyone else stuck sprinting everywhere without holding sprint? There's an icon of a guy running below my health. On 360 controller.

 

[Anoregon]

25% off code from greenman, I think: J4XXU2-JTFTLL-8ENDXZ

Supposed to be good through tomorrow (April 25).

I think you toggled sprint using the keyboard. It's a great feature more PC ports should have

That was it, thanks.

You probably have the sprint toggle on in the keyboard controls. I forgot what button it is. Maybe Z?

 

[Gbraga]

There is (or at least was in the pre-release press build) a keyboard toggle for this, maybe you hit something on accident?

 

[Jito]

Doh! Thanks for that, it was X!

 

[YianGaruga]

With the way stamina and sprinting work in DS2 I don't see what a sprint toggle would be good for.

 

[SargerusBR]

The only "bad" thing about PC version so far is that goddamn mouse cursor that appears everytime you loot something or open any menu.

Durante pls

And the hideous up/down arrows on the level up screen
Keyboard/Mouse users pls.

I'm more talking about the general idea of providing the option to use keyboard toggles for things bound to press and hold on gamepads. It's a good thing (TM).

Haha. Fucksake.

 

[Mkilbride]

Ok, so I had a Korean IP, got a JP one. It downloaded to 100%, but that's it...play just keeps it in an infintie loop and if i go to offline mode, the game says it needs a patch.


This is really odd, it just keeps updating over and over.

 

[LogicStep]

One more day! Tomorrow after work will be the start of a glorious weekend filled with Dark Souls 2.

 

[Vazra]

SweetFX working fine now. Yays.

 

[Levyne]

3 more hours!

 

[CouchMaster]

For some reason DS4 isn't working for me which is weird since it works with every other game. X360 controller works like charm though so I guess I'll continue with that.

Sounds like you can't connect to the update server through your VPN.

 

[cripterion]

This goddamn GAF hype... Downloading the game as we speak (even though I played 1h of Dark Souls before uninstalling).
I hope it works right off the bat and there's basic controller support.

 

[wickfut]

SweetFX working fine now. Yays.

Looking forward to seeing this myself. Any images?

 

[Mkilbride]

SSO it's 100% now, and I tried disabling the VPN / going offline as some said, but it just goes back to pre-load.

Yep, I'm getting the same, just gonna stick with the in game AA.

I'm using ver 1.3 and its working fine. Make sure you have "hide DS4 controller".
