Runs like shit on my 7970 at 1920x1080. Tons of random framerate drops.

 

[TheExodu5]

Unfortunately, it seems as though the distance LOD blur is running at very low res, which is pretty jarring.

Example:

Yeah similarly I have a 7870 and the framerate is terrible. So sad
It does look great with the resolution mod though. Getting bad framerates with or without it, though. Really want to fix this so I can play the game :/

 

[Forkball]

You can find the ending in the game's folder in a wmv format. It's like I don't even need to play the game!

 

[TheExodu5]

Sounds like all the reports of poor performance are on AMD cards?

well shit.

 

[Zzoram]

Alt F4 to shut down the game in main menu. Happened only once, but still :/

So where are your savegames so I can tell GSM to back them up?

The game constantly autosaves so exiting the game improperly always risks corrupting the save.

Hm. Using the 1080p fix and starting up Dark Souls gives me https://img.skitch.com/20120824-8waeu7bps73b4nnpy3tairkybw.jpg

GFX card is 560 ti. I've tried going in and lowering the resolution in-game but it doesn't seem to change anything, so I guess I'll try it without the fix to see what happens.

 

[Kerub]

Whoaaa, I just played the intro part.

I never tried Dark/Demon's souls but this is awesome. It feels like an old game, in a good way.

 

[Taruranto]

Ugh

This won't end well. I heard GFWL and cheaters really get along well.

Turn off AA.

 

[zephervack]

I can play with 2560x1600, looks amazing.

5120x3200 starts lagging but only when there are sprites animations like in the bonfires or magic, weird. Sad because when there are only 3D effects the game runs fine.

So I guess im playing this at 2560 downsampled to 1080.

Turn off AA in the Dark Souls options.

 

[Revoh]

a by product of playing the game, its pixelating my avatar

edit: its getting worse

SOON

 

[zombieshavebrains]

How do i get more of the curses to be able to attack ghosts? They keep messing me up pretty bad.

Go somewhere else for now.

Turn off in-game AA. That's a known issue with the resolution mod.

 

[Fou-Lu]

So what kind of builds are you guys going for first? I'm thinking Moonlight Greatsword on a magic user. Starting class pyromancer.

My dead body is currently sitting near a stack of them. =(

The ghost area is supposed to be a mid game area, don't bother with it until you ring the 2 bells.

 

[Sullichin]

The game constantly autosaves so exiting the game improperly always risks corrupting the save.

There's no fast way to quit to desktop which is kind of annoying (that I've found anyway). Quitting the game means you have to sit through the intro logos and the save game dialogue before you have the option to quit from the title screen.

Ah, thanks all.

 

[Iztli]

I'm watching a stream of some guy playing it with keyboard&mouse and everyone is hating on him pretty bad.

Whats up with that?

Dude's response

I dont own a gamepad how much do they cost?

GAMING EVOLVED

 

[zkylon]

The game constantly autosaves so exiting the game improperly always risks corrupting the save.

Yeah, that's what I gathered from it but I'm not used to that being a problem. I've alt F4-ed from Max Payne 3, Saints Row The Third, etc. with no problems and those are also autosave games.

So really, where are my savegames stored? Anyone knows?

Does alt-F4 close the game? You could try selecting the quit game option in-game, and once you're sure it's saved, press alt-F4 to close it.

EDIT: I need to learn to read.

Oh...see i don't know where else to go? When at the main bonfire i went up the 3 staircases but i didn't find anything except a guy that i don't have enough souls to buy anything from.

They don't autosave like a Souls game though.

 

[Tomat]

Ugh

I think people have been calling for this since the game's announcement. I'd say expect hell as far as any form of PvP goes unless you play with friends only, but we'll have to wait and see.

Hope it doesn't go that route because the random PvP is one of the best parts about the game.

 

[Lasthope106]

I just went through the beginning area in before the 1st boss in like an hour. The first time on 360 it took me like 5 hours. I was afraid the controls with the 360 controller on pc were going to feel janky, but so far it's all going smooth as butter - no homerun above the 360 version but very playable.

 

[Zzoram]

There is an aqueduct up some stair cases leading to the Undead Burg, which is the starting area of the game.

You can find the ending in the game's folder in a wmv format. It's like I don't even need to play the game!

Holy shit, lol.

Reminds me of when Deus Ex 1 loaded, it'd go through all the file names as they were loaded and it spoiled basically the entire game for you. (level names etc)

 

[zombieshavebrains]

Nevermind just went up further to the right and found a bridge.

 

[Mafro]

btw the game runs great (despite the obvious imposed restrictions) on my Dell XPS17 laptop (i7 2630QM, Nvidia GT 555m, 6GB RAM)

 

[zkylon]

They don't autosave like a Souls game though.

I have the feeling no one does anything like Dark Souls does

 

[Emitan]

I KEEP DYING

Watch the autosave swirl icon. It shows up after you do anything.

 

[Zeth]

Other way!

 

[Dog Problems]

GUYS

Wait for hax

 

[Tess3ract]

I only use a controller on a pc for things like:

Driving vehicles
........

Yep that's about it.

Mouse and keyboard is 99.9999% of the time superior. Shitty keyboard controls is unacceptable.

 

[LiK]

who killed you?

Get used to it!

I won't be able to buy the game for a while, but I'm dying to know the file structure to see if its relatively easy moddable (for textures that is), maybe something similar to Skyrim (where it had textures in .dds format in a .bsa archive that you could extract using FOMOD).

Edit:

Looks like the game is packed down in two 1.6 / 1.7GB "BDT" files.

Thanks Sethos! =)

 

[Emitan]

who killed you?

I keep getting stunlocked and then stabbed by 3 different dudes.

zombies,? if so block or evade. skeletons? run away

Put your shield up, back off to let one of them separate ahead of the pack, and remember that rolling has invuln animations.

Or you can spend a few minutes practicising parry timing and just godmode rest of the beginning areas.

 

[Sax Russel]

And to think From wanted us to play it vanilla looking like a blurry mess =O

 

[Rektash]

Get better I guess! Most likely you can be careful and just pull aggro from just one guy.

Try to lure 1 enemy and fight 1 at a time.
