[Tecl0n]

Dark Souls II has stopped working. Why has thou forsaken me gaben.

 

[dmr87]

Making a quick straw poll guys!

Playing Dark Souls 2 on PC? First time or not?

http://strawpoll.me/1571315

I have the PS3 version but I played for like 10 minutes, the 20fps starting area got me.

Servers getting hammered D:

 

[akira28]

[JustinBB7]

I'm in, and in the settings menu everything still shows with xbox buttons.. huh?

 

[JLeack]

wait...i can play it now?

It's out!!!!

 

[cm osi]

Guys.

About the Crow. I dropped an item for them. I lgoged out and in, nothing.

Well fuck, I just read the "Discard" is not the right to use. FUCKING GAME IS ALREADY PISSING ME OFF. WHY HAVE THAT OPTION?

lol. you don't have to log off in dark souls 2 anyway. drop the item, close the menu, pick up the new item.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

If you are playing with keyboard, block is default, U. In the options it is labled as attack with left hand, but it is actually block. I changed it to Q.

 

[Levyne]

Black bars on 1920x1200 screen. Oh well.

 

[John Caboose]

I'm in, and in the settings menu everything still shows with xbox buttons.. huh?

The manual says that it will always use that.

 

[Timu]

Yes, I can play it now!!!=3

 

[Aspirations26]

Game is crashing on start up. Don't do this to me

 

[The_Monk]

Jesus! So many people clicking, GAF is insane.

[ShockingAlberto]

Uh, my 360 controller isn't working

It works fine on other games

What the hell, Dark Souls

 

[Mkilbride]

lol. you don't have to log off in dark souls 2 anyway. drop the item, close the menu, pick up the new item.

Yeah.

I'm done.

Fucking killed my desire to play with this lack of controller support and shitty UI. It's fucking bullshit, From.

I just perma-deleted my starting gift, I read, because "Discard" is not the way to drop an item for the Crows. Like EVERY OTHER SOULS GAME EVER.

 

[moop1167]

Black bars on 1920x1200 screen. Oh well.

Yeah, but it's better than stretching. I got used to it in DS1 thank god.

 

[CountAntonius]

I can't believe it's here. Just walked in the door from Palm Springs. Praise the sun!

 

[Ilive1up]

yo, this game is fucking nice looking. for real.

that intro too. sick.

TIME TO DIE

 

[Felix Lighter]

I'm going in as blind as I possibly could. I've seen screenshots, I watched the first couple minutes of Giant Bomb's PC Quicklook to check performance and I'm aware of the lighting downgrade controversy and I've skimmed Durante's article. That is all I've seen or know.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Oh god, I can't wait to play! I enjoyed Dark Souls but never got to finish it simply because of the rather poor port, but this seems like a great PC version. This damn unpacking though, by god.

 

[Ziek]

Disk write error T_T

Re-installing....

 

[Parsnip]

I suppose I should see about porting the dualshock icon pack I did for deadly premonition and see how it looks.

Same, to a tee. My nerves are all a-quiver

 

[MarshMellow96]

Crashes when it starts. AMD and DVI.

 

[Thrakier]

TIME TO DIE

Intro was great, no question. Very Diablo-esque. I mean the good Diablo. Not Diablo 3.

Still, the game is ugly as fuck most of the times and the animations are horrible.

There is some nice looking art from time to time though.

 

[Gvaz]

So I'm stuck on installing, for some reason.

Also the game doesn't launch if you're using HDMI

 

[Garcia]

Oh shit it's done!

 

[JPBrowncoat]

I couldn't figure out the deal with my disk write error so I deleted it and I'm going to try downloading it on my ssd. 1 hour and 4 minutes to go. =/

 

[AkuMifune]

So potential controller and HDMI issues? I can't take this last hour of work.

 

[bj00rn_]

Someone said here on gaf it's possible to set up for offline play via the menus, but I can see no option for that? Anyone?

 

[nbthedude]

Durante's houdini magic works!

Not only was I able to use his program to spiffy up the game, but it works THROUGH MY HDMI cable using his fix to my big screen TV.

Downsampled amazing 60fps from my Geforce 780 to my big TV here I come.

 

[wrongway]

Oh man, this unpacking process. Come onnnnnn

 

[Rickenslacker]

Uh, my 360 controller isn't working

It works fine on other games

What the hell, Dark Souls

This is a long shot but something to try that's worked for other games I've had this problem in, go to Devices and Printers, go to the Game Controller Settings of your 360 pad, click advanced, and select the 360 pad in the dropdown menu there.

 

[John Caboose]

My meter is at 90%. PLuuuuez

 

[fade_]

As someone whos gone through the console version. Reading through some people's first time experience is very entertaining.

 

[yatesl]

Co-op in this game is super fun. I barely did it in DS1 as I was late to the party, but my summoning sign is outside of the second bonfire in

Spoiler

Forest of the Giants

and I'm being summoned every 2 minutes

 

[Garcia]

It crashed....

 

[Vitor711]

Ugh 450KB/s max download speed. See you in another 2 and a half hours DS2.

 

[ShizWhiz]

Everything's launched perfectly!

See you on the other side, GAF!

 

[Aspirations26]

So I'm stuck on installing, for some reason.

Also the game doesn't launch if you're using HDMI

Well I got dual monitor setup one DVI and one HDMI. Disabling and unplugged the hdmi tv and seeing if that works.

 

[Yoshichan]

I expected 50-50 to be honest, very surprised that so many people waited! I'm proud of you guys!
