So whats the deal with this whole EXECryptor? Steam Post About It

It's pretty damning if true.

I mean I "get it" the devs would like to protect their product from piracy but at what cost?
I heard FIFA 15 is another game with the same DRM and we all know how great that game is on PC.

I'm overall liking the game, but the damn crashes are discouraging me from playing more, they are so random and annoying I feel like I'll be better off waiting for some magic patch to fix them.

In case you are wondering where the fuck the "laboratory" is (it's related to an optional side quest you get for helping out the very first monk AND giving him a potion that you meet again later on), it's back near the starting areas at the Southern Watchtower. It's the room that has the exit that leads to the front door of the Catacombs.

Doing this side quest (which seems repeatable) increases the healing your Estus Flask does.

I didn't want to give up my potion. So I'm shit out of luck until next playthrough?

wait, when are you supposed to be able to do this? I helped the first monk and gave him the potion, but I don't seem to have this "side quest"?

Crash number 6, all from combat. I'm tired of backtracking. Does the PS4 version crash a lot? I'm kind of regretting my purchase.

The game skipped several frames during that swing. I was trying to highlight poorly timed performance issues.

PC. I've done the usual, switching back to CPU now. I switched back to auto-select after the patch assuming the issues would have been solved but I guess not.

Also the stupid intro videos play twice like 80% of the time. WTF

Goddamnit! Every time I heavy attack someone, the game crashes and my controller is infinitely rumbling. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

the physx dont crash me anymore since i turned off turbulance, but I actually switched physx back to cpu again today because the game just runs better like that for me

(and my rig is pretty beefy, optimized this is not lol)

I managed to fix mine. The option settings don't keep that turbulence turned off so once things start crashing, that's pretty much why. I have to check every so often for some effing reason.

Got exactly the same problem. it's special attack is basically instant crash for me :/ They really need to get patches out thick and fast for this game.

Try this. got it off the steam forum. I'm going to see if it works for me since in-game settings won't stick.

There is also a temporary solution for users who cannot disable the Nvidia turbulence because of the in-game settings issue. Please do the following in order to disable the option manually (or instead change the in-game settings using a gamepad):
1. Open the game directory (right click on Lords of the Fallen in steam library, select properties, choose 'local files' tab, press 'browse local files')
2. Run with notepad file settings.ini
3. Find line 'apex_gpu_support_enabled = true'
4. Change the value from 'true' to 'false' (so the line reads 'apex_gpu_support_enabled = false)
5. Save the file
6. Open documents
7. Open Lords of the Fallen folder
8. Repeat steps 2-5

i wasnt a fan of the scythe special move, my magic is best used on actual spells.

Im not excusing the crashes it causes btw lol, im just saying :)

edit: that patch to disable just CA cant come soon enough. But im not gonna stop playing it so its probably going to be a NG+ thing for me

For fans of the Longsword or Claymore, Justice seems to be the missing link between the two (it's a STR weapon). Even though "My Axe" with two Flawless Luck runes will one-shot many things with a jumping attack, it's actually quite a bit worse than the sword due to its slow ass speed, even though with it I have 189 dmg (vs 142), Justice also eats way less energy per swing and combos nicely.

I cant get used to those big slow ass weapons, which is weird because thats what I use in Dark Souls. I like my 1handers (i know you can use the others with 1 hand, you know what I mean) and shield here. Im LOVING the hammer (mace?) you find
behind the wall in Catacombs and then you upgrade it down bellow in a coffin

I dont think it has a rune slot tho :(

edit: is new loot in NG+ confirmed or just same loot with higher stats?

I wonder does the ps4 cache data because yesterday I couldn't play longer than 10 minutes without a crash. Played last of us for an hour & today I played for 2 hours with no crashes.

That's just it though, the sword I'm talking about would be considered medium-quick compared to most of the other heavy hitters.

Are you talking about Spike?

The one youre talking about is medium? this interests me :)

On the other hand, the game hasn't been pirated yet.

Still BS though.

I found a way around it (at least it's working for me anyway). Just creep into the area that has them and cast Prayer before they become aware of you. Hopefully you have at least that spell. Move in until one aggros, then run away and it will explode on your decoy. Stopped the crashing for me, because as soon as they would start the roll near me the game would crash. Every single time.

Heh I figured you couldn't kill any NPC, so I took a swing at
KRUHL or whatever with my Greataxe since his loud, repetitive yelling was annoying me and promptly one-shotted him. Guess it's really just story characters you can't kill.

Well, then we have to thanks Namco in that case for giving us an awesome sequel.
Click to expand...

I guess terribad hitboxes, horrible scaling/item placement, broken Poise, artificial cheap difficulty, sloppy movement calibrations, phoned in animation work compared to Demon's/Dark1, bait and switch PR on visuals that weren't even enabled on PC yet still exist in the engine code, and Soul Memory is the quid pro quo for a "awesome sequel". Sorry, but this Kool-Aid just ain't my flavor.

So in order to not have to type anything to rip anybody's suggestion that DkS2 is a "good sequel" to a Souls game to shreds, I'll let these vids which I 100% agree with do it for me. Just go ask any of the high level challenge runners/high level PvP players if DkS2 is a "good sequel". Martyrs, Foxeo, Somethodox, Vageta311, LobosJr, me, etc, etc who all did 1000's of hours of crazy challenge running and/or high-level PvP, they all at the very least are disappointed in DkS2.

I agree 110% here with Matt, although I'd argue from a challenge running and PvP perspective it's a even further step backwards.

Also, my bro Martyrs gives a perfect analysis of the issues with PvP in these two vids-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5olH7ibNjHA&list=UUqJCM9Tq_iZ6yqAqCgaGKjQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M5Yz1Z__ek&list=UUqJCM9Tq_iZ6yqAqCgaGKjQ&index=30

And finally, Martyrs echoes exactly my thoughts on talking/typing about DkS2 with the context of this vid as well as it's title. That's you never see me in the DkS2 OT...

Does anyone know what the Right Wing Key is for? I'm trying to go through and find anything I've missed and found this on some guy in the

So I figured out a bug with the graphics settings, it seems that if you press no to accepting the changes you've made (even if you changed nothing), it will revert some settings like turning turbulence back on if you have it off...weird stuff.
