WE KNOW

*Stares at clock*

 

[Shub-Niggurath]

Does anyone got Durantes FSAA settings to work?

They don't do anything for me.

Same for me
Maybe the retail build is different from the preview one?

 

[SargerusBR]

I bear great news. Dark Souls 2 will be unlocked on Steam at 3:00 p.m. PDT. 1.5 more hours to go. HURRAY!

Spoiler

i'm sorry :x

 

[Vinegar Joe]

Had the same problem with a 7970, changed cable from hdmi to dvi and it worked. Might wanna try that.

OK, so this worked.

I didn't think it would, but it did.

WTF? I'm not sure if that's better or worse. Either way I'm not going to get to play this on my TV yet

 

[Mkilbride]

But I am on, without a VPN, playing US servers. Oh well.

Still...

The texture pop in is horrible. I can't believe how bad it is. Makes UE3 look godlike by comparison.

 

[Durante]

So who wants to take bets for how long until cheaters make the online aspect annoying as all fuck? :|

Never happened in DS1 PC as far as I could tell in >200 hours and lots of online play. I think cheaters lose interest quickly.

Erm, there is no texture pop in.

 

[Parsnip]

I'll make a GeDoSaTo Thread

I would have made one but I'm afraid to make threads at gaf.

And I have to go to sleep in about 2 hours or I won't be able to get up at 6am to work. Will be the hardest day every. Constantly thinking about the game and all you guys. But when I get home hopefully all technical stuff will be sorted out and I then have the whole weekend filled with nothing but Dark Souls.

 

[scissorfight]

It would probably be relatively easy to hide it completely, but on the other hand it's a nice reminder that you're on a PC. I like it when I think of it that way

just realized that it comes up every single time you pick up an item?

it has to go.

 

[feel]

Durante pls tell you are working on a solution for the in-game mouse cursor, its really annoying. D:

AutoHideMouseCursor is your friend, works flawlessly here just like with Metal Gear Rising

Guess I need SweetFX for dat graphical Rx?

There is -incredibly noticable texture pop in.

I watched an entire cliff face go from detailed, veiny to chalkhy grey soup.

Texture pop annoys me greatly.. I have not noticed it at all in this game.
The only thing that pops in are far away enemies

Huh? Why would it lose detail?

When was it announced????

Any chance you could capture this at all? I would like to see if it happens on my set up.

Believe me, I would have noticed that. Either you are confusing it with DoF (but it doesn't sound that way), or something is wrong with your configuration.

Indeed.

 

[Grief.exe]

When was it announced????

We've know for 72 hours or so due to the Steam page, but it was officially announced over 24 hours ago.

Time to update drivers.

Wow I hope I don't have to do this. I'm going to be agitated if I can't play this on my tv.

Wow. Sorry then...

Controller problems, input lag, and now texture pop-in. Sounds like the problem is specific to your config.

 

[Sanctuary]

For those fretting about the DLC items; they really are not anything special nor more powerful than anything you can get within the first hour of the game. In fact, a few of them have stat requirements that would take you about an hour to be able to use anyway. On the PS3 version, I played the game through before activating the code. Now I wish I never had, because every time I start a new game, my inventory gets filled up with a bunch of shit that you can't sell.

 

[chaobreaker]

Was that your first playthrough?

What SL did everyone get to when they beat the game? I'm seeing 100s but I'm pretty sure I only beat the game on like SL 60?

Nah. I had like 10 different playthoughs with 4 different characters on PC. The one I just beaten was my first SL1 run.

 

[The_Monk]

Wow. Sorry then...

There's no need to apologize you were just trying to help some GAFfers, nothing wrong with that.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Fuck it, I'm not using a VPN! I've waited long enough.

I am, however, incredibly siked.

 

[dreamfall]

Less than 2 hours until unlocks?! I'll be on later tonight, but holy goodness.

In my veins.

 

[Yoshichan]

Wow. Sorry then...

Don't be sorry, you wanted to help people out !

This is a nice solution, and no install. Just start app, done. Thanks for the info. :3

Still no key from GMG.

I never did use my code, I don't even know what you get.

Durante implied we should wait.

i got one in 300 hours of gameplay. he didn't lose any hp. still he apologized after saying he didn't want to die being invaded in tomb of giants.
so casul

Gaben the Blacksmith as DLC?

 

[RK9039]

Oh my

Gaben confirmed NG++ Majula boss.

 

[Boogybro]

Does anyone know where the save files are stored?
I started my game on another computer profile and I don't want to start again.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Still no key from GMG.

Not even in your account when you log in? They never emailed me one, but when I checked my account on GMG, it was in there.

 

[Orthogonal]

Has anyone seen any PC specific reviews go up? I checked the usual suspects and there aren't as far as I can tell.

 

[Sanctuary]

I never did use my code, I don't even know what you get.

A bunch of ugly ass weapons where only one of them is truly even kind of "a big deal". And that would be the INT staff, since the one you start with as a Sorcerer is such garbage. The downside IIRC is that it takes not so easy to get materials to upgrade, while the Sorcerer starter staff can be raised rather easily; but still sucks.

After 9 years in the forge, hopefully it would have been worth the weight.

Pulling this out of my ass since I'm not at home, but check
Documents\NBGI\

That's where DS1 saves are.

 

[SargerusBR]

Listen to this and GET HYPE

 

[xBladeM6x]

I'll be watching this topic, just for the incoming Durante announcement.
