How can I repair gear? I was fighting a

Spoiler

Dragonrider

and then my broadsword went to risk D:

Resting at a bonfire repairs any unbroken equipment.

How are you guys getting rid of the mouse cursor? THat's pretty annoying.

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

.

Random download link from google:

Just start the app before playing, set it at 3 seconds or whatever and you're golden.

 

[Calamari41]

Get to name creation - After putting in a name, hitting enter or A just re-sets the name field. Can't do anything else lol.

Heh, I had that same problem. I had to use the mouse to manually select "ok" or whatever underneath, then hit "A" on the controller and it let me through.

 

[TOAO_Cyrus]

HDMI is working flawlessly for me.

How do I turn Human again and recover my HP bar?

by using an human effigy. but you should really get a Ring of Life Protection

 

[Levyne]

Resting at a bonfire repairs any unbroken equipment.

Ah, that's neat

 

[Arkanius]

Use a human effigy. Or if you successfully help someone kill a boss in co-op you get 1 instance back. As in, if you die twice, your HP is cut two times, so each successful co-op you gain one of those back.

But effigy blocks invasions and cooperation
Is that right?

[moop1167]

Is that right?

No, only if you burn it at a bonfire. If you just use it you'll be restored to human no matter how many times you've died.

 

[Deleted member 245925]

Oh boy...

I'm surprised that the game runs silky smooth at 60 FPS on my 560 Ti with max settings.

 

[cm osi]

But effigy blocks invasions and cooperation
Is that right?

they block invasion if you burn them at the bonfire. if you use them as a item they'll just revive you

 

[The_Monk]

I feel some good Demon's Souls vibe from the start of the game, which is good!

 

[burgerdog]

Yup, and enabling gpu scaling doesn't do anything for me.

 

[moop1167]

I think I am going to have to go dark on GAF... alt-tabbing crashes my game when I try to get back in.

 

[Dalibor_San]

Sorry for the typo. I meant reboot your PC. New drivers makes a big difference much of the time. Also disable any programs you aren't using to make sure they aren't interfering. I assume it's just crashing on boot?

It definitely not an NVIDIA HDMI thing because I'm an Nvidia 780 and playing over HDMI to TV.

Yes it crashes on boot-up, can I ask a question...when you boot up the game for the first time are you represented with a graphic option menu? Because I see no graphic config file in the directory.

Also nothing is running in the background as I keep my system tidy,Im just sad that every game works even the original dark souls without fix and yet this one is causing me issues.

There must something I'm doing wrong, I just want to play a game I've bought and waited through the delay and yet I cant.

YES! This is exactly what happens to me!

 

[MMBosstones86]

So what's the best class if I want to go Melee(Str)/Hex build? Knight?

Dayum.

hot damn

Game launched fine
DS4 tool works perfectly
60FPS/1080p 50% GPU usage with maxed settings on 560 ti.

welcome aboard, SteamBro. Can't wait to get on in an hour.

 

[Paches]

My camera won't stop spinning and I am using a PS4 controller. Any ideas? Trying to futz around in the key bindings right now.

And no, I am not holding down a stick.

Edit: Fixed it.

 

[Teknoman]

HDMI worked perfect for me. AMD card (of course I did all that scaling config back with MGR to get rid of black bars...had to change on every refresh rate available).

 

[moop1167]

So what's the best class if I want to go Melee(Str)/Hex build? Knight?

That's not a bad choice. Either that, cleric, or deprived. I went deprived and I am going hex/dex.

 

[TwistedMind]

I killed a world master by the launcher in

Spoiler

the pursuer room

and I feel bad
Man the online is so smooth in the PC version ,I have been summoned a lot and i summoned others without getting any error message , not to mention instant loading times .... really well done and a great port.

 

[Ashodin]

So I'm starting the game and all I get a black screen (with the blue at the bottom) that I presume is loading but nothing is happening. Any ideas?

 

[Technosteve]

how come none of the npc's mouths move?

Have you guys tried using Durante's fix? It's pretty easy to set up so might be worth a shot. Just:

1) Download and extract it wherever you want it to be.

2) Righ click on the EXE and select "run as administrator

3) Check Activate White list.

That's it then just boot the game. IT's automatically configured for Dark Souls 2.

 

[Ilive1up]

just killed an NPC in a cave.

woops.

dark souls stuff.

 

[Grief.exe]

So I think I just found a working SLI bit. Give me a couple minutes.

 

[finalflame]

Wooh, just got GeDoSaTo! Thanks Durante!

I am getting 60 fps with no bokeh, max other settings, downsampled from 4k and manually added 2xSGSSA+2xMSAA in nVidia inspector. Does the SGSSA and MSAA settings in inspector work in conjunction with GeDoSaTo? Or should I just stick with the GeDoSaTo AA settings and disable the inspector profile?

 

[HowZatOZ]

Okay this first ogre thing is fucking bullshit.

 

[Garcia]

I just went to Majula and back to FoFG. Twice.

15 seconds. 4 loading screens. Why the fuck did I have to play the console version of this game. I'm enjoying this as if it were the first time!

 

[Captain Pants]

I've been using DS4 to Xinput wrapper ever since the DS4 came out. It doesn't fucking work here and I'm a sad panda. Any help? The d-pad inputs are right, but the button mapping is all over the goddamn place.

Was thinking the same thing...

 

[duxstar]

Oh boy...

I have a 560 too and was wondering if I would need to update the graphics card for this game (downloading it now), I don't do alot of high end gaming, and this might be one of the only "graphic intensive" games I will play, Im trying to hold off upgrading until I have to. Was worried this might be the game to make me lol

 

[AmyS]

DS4 tool works perfectly
60FPS/1080p 50% GPU usage with maxed settings on 560 ti.

I used to have a plain 460 in early 2011 so yours is somewhat better.

So it's confirmed, PC DSII @ 60FPS, 1080p, max settings on what what could be considered a very modest GPU by 2014 standards.

Guys correct me I am wrong but I'm pretty sure 560 ti is a full Fermi GF104, and still only an upper mid-range 2011 GPU.

 

[Rhaknar]

7 hours until I go home. Fuck work

Resting at a bonfire repairs any unbroken equipment.

Hoooolyyyy shiiit. I thought something crazy was going on.

 

[MMBosstones86]

I don't know if I have the balls to go with deprived the first time around.

how come none of the npc's mouths move?

such realism.

only bad part is the loading screens aren't long enough to read the item descriptions.

Be strong man, I'm here supporting you all the way!

 

[Elixist]

my game wont start, save me Durante

Can't read the item descriptions in time.

 

[Timu]

This happens when I use the Dualshock 4 with the DS4 Tool, I need a fix now!!! Heck I can't even control the camera either.

 

[Finalow]

have fun at dying, folks.

 

[kewlmyc]

Crashes on startup. Not like this....

Redownloading, then if it doesn't work, I'll read the thread to see if there'a any tips or not.

 

[Teknoman]

Wait DS2 Voice chat is via a ring? Thats a waste of a slot! Maybe i'll go mute lol.

 

[matmanx1]

Well, not too surprising given my experience with Day 1 on Dark Souls 1 PC but I get a white box and then a crash message before the game starts. I'm seeing a lot of other people are getting it too. Unfortunate, but that seems to be the life of a PC gamer some days.

I will try, thanks man for trying to help I appreciate it...I'm just re-downloading again on a different HDD.

I'll try the fix and post here,I hope it works as I'm really excited to play, if it doesn't I wont fret I will wait a few days and hopefully there are some fixes.

 

[FtsH]

What is the key for toggle on PC? Please help~
Never mind it's N.....

same prob, hopefully they can figure it out soon.

Thought I fixed mine but I actually didn't, getting the same thing

 

[Cerity]

The number of blood stains around the white knight dude at FoFG is great haha.

 

[legacyzero]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

Downsampled from 1800p. Havn't tried Based Durante's new tool yet.

STILL running at 60 FPS, even though I'm running at 1800p DS'd. CRAZY optimized.
