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

Embargo is 6PM EDT (so an hour and a half)

 

[Bucca]

Durante I am begging you. If you have it ready, pls let it be available tonight.

You know, it.

Spoiler

pls

 

[chaobreaker]

Soon...

 

[masterkajo]

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.

Quick question about DS4 Xinput wrapper you are using, Grief. You linked to a version 1.3 prior in this thread. When I am searching on the official forum post here I only find 1.2.2 as the latest version. Where did you get yours from?

this game doesn't even need an it this time. Anything Durante adds is just gravy. Sweet downsampled gravy.

 

[BPoole]

The idea is to make it so it won't be a pain anymore, to anyone. Just use this tool and downsample whatever you want, you won't have to depend on display configurations or game support.

It's basically Durante refusing to link the fire and becoming our true lord.

DSfix allowed you to downsample Dark Souls 1 using settings in a text file.


GeDoSaTo will allow you to downsample any DX9 32bit game using a GUI. No more playing with drivers and hopefully if it works like DS1, it means that its card agnostic, AMD and nVidia welcomed.

From what I understand its' like DSfix but for every modern 3D game.

Wow, this is even more awesome than I thought. I wasn't even aware that you could downsample with DSFix

 

[xBladeM6x]

Everything is ready.

 

[Vinegar Joe]

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.

It sounds like you might have the same setup as me with a monitor (DVI) and a TV (HDMI).

If so I 'fixed' it by starting the game on my monitor (Windows+P to swap outputs) and then swapping back to my TV once in the menu.

Eat it Scamco.

Listen to this and GET HYPE

Wrong video my friend.

 

[jacksepticeye]

There seems to be most definitely a Durante thing happening from all these cryptic messages

 

[Boogybro]

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

That's where DS1 saves are.

Tried that, isn't there.

 

[GavinUK86]

Just played it for an hour or so and I really suck. Only played Demon Souls and Dark Souls for about half an hour so I expected as much. Runs great though even if it's not much of a looker.

 

[Sanctuary]

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.

Hah, nvm. I am such a tool. When I first looked at my account info, all of the pages were blank, and I didn't realize I had to click the header at the top for a drop down list. The code is there, thanks!

[Sullichin]

So what do I need to do to get this game working with the PS4 controller?

Xinputwrapper. Unplug other controllers. Select "hide DS4". Make sure you launch the program before launching Steam / DSII.

We should probably put this information in the OT

 

[Parsnip]

Gah. I need to remove myself from the internets until the game unlocks, too much hype.

 

[Shub-Niggurath]

Durante, thx again for your work on the soul's games, dunno why your settings via Inspector are not working for me. I am using the same driver as you (337.50) and a gtx 680. I have used inspector before, so it's pretty weird. Have you got any idea?

Is downsampling a more power efficient way of getting crispest graphics compared to the best kinds of AA?

Okay cool, thanks. Apologies if that has been asked a lot. This thread is moving pretty fast at this point.

Good to know.

I'm hoping my game will work fine without having to do anything though.

 

[Durante]

No, downsampling is in fact one of the most inefficient methods. But it is extremely comprehensive.

GeDoSaTo - Downsampling from Infinity and Beyond!

 

[Orayn]

Is downsampling a more power efficient way of getting crispest graphics compared to the best kinds of AA?

It's one type of supersampling AA and it comes with its own pros and cons. Sparse grid SSAA generally does a better job at similar settings, but it's not available in all games. (You *can* force it in Dark Souls II with the right Nvidia profile.)

Examples coming soon.

Wait, the game doesn't run if you have a dual monitor setup?

I'm really torn. I'm also really tired. But I'm also really hype. I have to go out tonight to a bar/restaurant, likely getting home at 11.

I've been up late a few times this work week already.

I haven't been to the gym since Tuesday.

I've eaten relatively "meh" this week (two healthy meals and one not so healthy) for two days.

I've had three large iced coffees today.

Do I stay up and power through, or do I get some rest, go to work tomorrow all powered up from my sleep, knock the goddamn cover off the ball and then come home, get my kids all situated for bed and then go play? I'm a responsible adult and I don't know what to do.

 

[SargerusBR]

I'm going to assume GeDoSaTo is the thing Durante was teasing right?

Play it now until you pass out in a pile of your own vomit while your kids wait to get tucked in.

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

Give this man a medal or something.

the latter sounds really fulfilling compared to the first thing

 

[masterkajo]

So what do I need to do to get this game working with the PS4 controller?

Since it has been asked a few times, I'll try to explain everything how it should theoretically work. Haven't tested it myself but there are reports of it working.

Use your Dualshock 4 on PC for Dark Souls 2
1. Download and install the official Xbox360 controller drivers from Microsoft found here.
2. Get the latest XInput wrapper for DS4 from here. Latest so far is version 1.2.2 but there might be a version 1.3 around. I am using 1.2.2
3. Follow instructions on how to install the Wrapper found in the ReadMe file.
4. Make sure to connect or pair (BT) your DS4 controller correctly.
5. Close all programs that might use the XBox360 controller and disconnect all other controllers.
6. Start the DS4 wrapper and make sure to check the "hide DS4 controller" option. You can check when clicking on "controllers" that only the XBox360 controller is listed. Otherwise you have another controller (DS4 direct input) connected which interferse with your input.
7. Start Steam, Dark Souls 2 and enjoy.
