The weirdest issue I have with DSFix is the bridge with the gargoyle in Anor Londo. For whatever reason when I step onto that bridge the entire game grinds to a hault for a second or two, like it's attempting to render EVERYTHING in the game at one time, then suddenly is fine. This might happen twice while crossing the bridges over towards O+S, but the game has run flawlessly up until that point. Not quite sure what the deal is with those bridges specifically.

No guarantees, but it might. See if it does? Also, is it me or is the parrying in PVP a total crapshoot? A nice Japanese guy let me practice it on his punches, but it would only take it in the event I pressed the button before his punch even started, instead of, you know, when it's about to hit me.

Wait, maybe it's performing a save then, and DSFix is backing it up? That or he accidentally has texture dumping on too. PS: I see you there in the Parish, Tensokuu.

My biggest beef with Dark Souls as far as over-obscure game elements goes are the fake walls. I'd be fine if they had some subtle clue that they were breakable but they're just seemingly-ordinary parts of the world geometry that magically vanish when you strike them.

I had downloaded some other overrides but hell if I remember what they were, so I've removed all of them outside of the black Bamco screen. We'll see if that does anything. You ran across The Incredible Hulk Barkley! It's my silly STR/END character that I'm just slaughtering stuff with a +5 Zweihander. Was trying to get used to some lower level PVP so I'm more up to par in Anor Londo, but uh... at the time I wasn't wearing armor and just found myself getting squashed by everyone opponent. Welp.

The large majority of them DO have subtle hints. The only ones that don't, really, are the Great Hollow ones. The rest are subtly different from the surrounding walls, or have what seems to be an obvious arch framing them. Sometimes you can see stuff behind them if you're paying attention. There's a spot in the catacombs where you can see the second bonfire at, before you get to the illusory wall, for example. The wall itself is suspect. You just have to put two and two together.

Plus, it's the ridiculousness of the game that makes me believe that there is still something that can be done to that goddamn rock near the Kalameet fight. I mean there's another rock nearby that looks identical, so you wouldn't think anything of it, but there are 2 of those glowy plants near it, not just the one needed to illuminate the ladder. Probably just From loving with me, but either way, goddamn  Also why doesn't this guy respawn?

Besides the Great Hollow entrance there's also the hidden wall in sen's fortress that leads to a giant near where you fall down to the front of the first pendulum walkway after climbing out of the tar pit. Also the ones in the cellar of the painted world but once you know this is a game that has fake walls you know to check them.

Step 1: Leave Dark Souls running for two hours while you do something else. It will collect IP addresses so you can have a good multiplayer experience when you're ready to play. Step 2: Activate a menu table in CheatEngine, forgetting to first disable the GFWL memory protection that immediately crashes the game if it detects you running any scripts - for example, a script that opens a menu table in CheatEngine.  \/\/\/\/ gently caress. I'm going to do that right now. where the red fern gropes fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Dec 8, 2012 |

This is why you use a table that doesn't let you use anything that crashes the game until you activate the protection disabler.

This game is literally unplayable without a gamepad or the mousefix. loving unplayable. And the mousefix requires dsfix. Targeting without the mousefix is a real what the christ moment If you don't have dsfix but play using a mouse you are loving insane and as soon as you practice with something else you will be the best dark souls player ever.

I did too. It is 'doable' in the way that slitting your wrists is doable. I have beaten this game with a 360 pad, kb/m with the fix, and without the fix. Without the fix is just stupid and bad and everyone currently doing it should stop putting up with it.

I have seriously had the weirdest experience with dsfix on my laptop. I promise you that if you are playing without the mouse fix for dsfix right now, you are playing a broken game compared to the rest of us. Say whatever you want about m/kb with the fix, at least the camera isn't loving nuts.:

Sure it might feel weird if you're used to sticks just like playing with sticks is a nightmare if you're only used to kb+m, but I've been using kb+mouse for Dark Souls and it does what I want it to do. It's not like, say, AC2 where the mouse controls are horribly sluggish. It's plenty responsive. And while the added precision of walking with a stick might be nice, wasd suffices just fine.

Seriously install the mouse fix and use the scroll wheel for target selection and bind your poo poo to your extra mouse buttons. You cannot go back

It was just painful to try the game back when it came out using the mouse and the keyboard. Even with the mouse pointer removed, it was still a bitch to play and just unfun. With dsfix and the mouse wheel targetting system, it feels so much smoother and better, its not even comparable. I would like to have more mouse buttons so I could block and parry with my mouse, but quite honestly, Tab and Left Shift do a good enough job when it comes to that.

With a reasonably powerful PC you can have constant 60 FPS with DSfix, the difference is like night and day. You can also find plenty people to Co-op or fight with and hackers aren't really that prevalent

That's the great thing about Dark Souls. You can build your character to be a heavily armored badass, a fire-slinging pyromancer, a wizard that just melts everything, or a naked fat man with a giant hammer.

I think using a dual damage type of weapon might not be the way to go, since he's pretty magic resistant IIRC even before you're splitting your damage over two types. I think your best bet is either a super-powered Crystal Soul Spear or a meatier physical weapon. It's possible a lightning or chaos weapon could get the job done but I haven't experimented with it extensively because gently caress Seathe and his stupid tail.
