Same card that I'm using

rolled a merc and made it to the first bonfire no trouble, killed a few hollows went back to bonfire to restock my estus and hard locked (my monitor even turned off with a "no signal" message, first time a game crashed hard enough for that to happen)

restarted comp and rolled a knight, and turned graphics down from high to medium. due to folk here saying its a safe class, made it to first bonfire no problem, went and fought the first boss the guy you pull the sword out of and as soon as I killed the boss a bunch of steam achievements dinged and then my system hard locked again. well fraggle.

Welp, crashing at the first bonfire :( GTX 670

It crashed so badly I had to restart my computer. And I've been up for 20 hours now waiting for this game. gently caress :negative:

Couldn't even reset my computer, I had to pull out the loving power cable.

The bonfire crashes are seriously still a thing? I was hearing about that from gaming sites and videos a month ago. Bad enough it crashes, I have to turn my pc off too.

What a complete clusterfuck of a launch. When I pay for a game, and preload it, I do not expect to be told "no, you can't play it on launch which was 40 minutes ago, you now have to wait for an undisclosed amount of time which will continually go upwards".

They hosed up the console release AND they hosed up the PC release, way to go Bandai Namco.

Game seems to run perfectly fine for me except I can't move at all so here I stand staring at menus in silky smooth 60fps.

Well this sucks, I got poor framerate so I tried reducing the resolution to 720p...but then the game won't fullscreen it, just gives me huge black borders around the game-screen. Anyone know how to make it not do that?

Maybe I oughta cancel that vacation day I had tomorrow and wait for a patch before I play. I'd like to be able to actually decide what my guy looks like before I start playing, and also hopefully maybe not crash at the first bonfire.

Welp, whoever told me that this game would run just a bit worse than DS2 was lying I guess, because even at the lowest settings I get like 10 fps. Sometimes if I'm looking at a corner or straight down it gets better. I guess I might finally have to upgrade my E6700 dual-core... though that does mean a motherboard upgrade, which is always a pain. Unless a GTS 450 is too old? I got it just a few years ago, though.

Although I guess it might not be a computer issue, based on the past few posts.

Yes a 450 is too old, a 750 is the minimum recommended. Do you not check these things before dropping 60 bucks on a game?

E: lolling at 8800 guy too wtf

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
Those of you with problems, run a validation test via Steam on all those DS3 files.

Someone says to set Light quality down to minimum to prevent bonfire issues.

None so deprived
Smooth as butter for me, 970 with a month old driver, rolled sorcerer and apparently dodged the bonfire crash bug. Only complaint about kb+m controls is that the game still gives me the controller scheme in menus so I sort of have to guess my way around when I want descriptions and such.

Don't buy the soul dart! I did thinking it would be a decent low cost alternative but the damage per fp is tragic.

Soooo many blood stains all over the place, gorgeous.

zero issues with 970 on a warrior. i suck bad and have died 3/3 times on the first boss cause I have a hard time figuring out when his giant snake thingie is attacking me

"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
Hey duders sorry if this has been asked or mentioned before but I'm not confident in my ability to dodge spoilers.

Are daggers still rear end for non-humanoid (that is, poo poo that can't be riposted/backstabbed) PVE in this game? I remember that in Dark Souls 1 even if you wanted to focus on parry/riposting, it was actually better to use a regular weapon than it was to use a high crit dagger because the difference in base damage meant your normal weapon riposte did more damage anyway despite the lower multiplier.

I'm using a ps4 controller, and haven't had any crashes. Using a radeon 390X. My only problems are I can't seem to kick, and any time I look at the blood where people died it doesn't show anything.

^ I didn't have the patience for that poo poo and just fought the first boss, and then came back to him after being able to level.

I told you that story so I could tell you this one...
Has anyone been having crashes around lit bonfires? I didn't have any performance troubles until then, and I have two linked GeForce 770s installed. But the game basically crashes as soon as I load up my file, simply because a bonfire is near.

Mine is crashing hard right as I approach first bonfire. GTX 780 Ti

It crashes the entire OS and does a full reboot.

crashes on 600-700 series cards, stuttering any time you pick up an item + randomly in the environment, game hangs and audioloops when you try and quit...

quote:

Definitely my headset causing the framerate to drop to 5.

Got some others on the Steam forum to test it too. Clashing with some USB drivers/devices.

As I have no idea why it would do such a thing I'm off to bed.

Is it the armor? Like, if you take off your Herald armor, do you still crash? Or is it somehow tied to your actual class selection?

And is it at every bonfire, or just that first one?

I'm afraid to play the game since it seems to just crash whenever it feels like it even if you get past the Bonfire Issue and at that point, you know the crashes are just going to gently caress you over in the middle of a boss or something

gently caress that
