Everything runs flawlessly 1440 max settings on my 970, butter smooth. Old cards just need to turn down settings! If your card is 4 years old you should know it.

So what do you do when the katana guy just spams his dash attack non-stop? Because I can't even get him to do a single parryable attack or anything. He just does that one attack constantly, I can't get behind him and I can't parry it.

I'm kind of amazed to say that KB+M play just works out of the box. Didn't have to do anything, outside of rebinding for my preferred keys. I haven't had to download a 3rd party fix or run an autohotkey script to make up for stupid design decisions. It's magical.

Playing on a console, so the game just, you know, works.

Wandered into a patch with sonic the killer lizardhedgehog. Guessing I come back to that motherfucker later?

A pyro can kill it by dancing and throwing fireballs but it doesn't give a gently caress about soul arrows so my sorcerer is outta luck on that one for quite some time.

Not having too much trouble as a sorc so far, latex gundam fell to heavy soul arrows very little fuss and the few points I've spent on int seem to make a decent amount of difference for this early in the game. I miss binocular sniping and I hear the binoculars are slow compared to DS2 so it might not be very viable anyway. Shooting from the hip it is!

edit: also lol if you make your sorcerer a frail tiny thing you end up stabbing the prostrated zombies on the Wall right in the butt

The game is pretty unoptimized regardless of cards right now. No matter what resolution or graphic setting, I keep getting stuttering and FPS dips and it kinda sucks.

Alright I feel dumb asking but; where do I go after reaching Firelink? I can't find a way forward. I killed the master but the gate behind him is locked. Explored upstairs, found another locked gate. Didn't find anything downstairs. I dunno where to goooooo :saddowns:

If you can't beat him don't worry about it too much, you don't really have to. And you can always push him off the ledge :cheeky:

360 controller works fine for me :shrug:

I finally got it to work by installing the Xbox One controller on my PC. As in, I got my Xbox 360 controller, which works for literally every other game on my PC that accepts controller support, to work by installing a completely different controller for a different system, which works but only works when wired in via USB cable.


BUT MY loving XBOX ONE IS UP TO DATE

Christ; this has been a nightmare. Now it works; I don't even know if I want to play.

Things could be going better

Picking this up from Best Buy after work tomorrow, looking forward to playing for an hour before breaking the disk in half.

Hopefully the Internet is not inundated with spoilers due to the release date differences. Nothing worse than getting a new game and finding that people have already found the perfect play.

Katana rear end in a top hat tip: buy a halberd, 2hand it, poke him off the cliff. Worked second time for me!

Game owns even though I'm not all that big on how all the weapons I've found so far (which isn't many I'll grant you) are kind of just worse than the gigantic stack of assorted straight swords I already have. The claymore is fun to flail around at the super weak hollows in Lothric though.

Mostly I'm just amazed that it runs pretty OK on my PC and I managed to get my PS2 controller working with almost 0 fuss.

It's a weird way to mask loads. That's the only place I've seen it be an issue so far.

Thought so, but just wanted to make sure there wasn't some secret super boss lurking around. I finally killed him and got his katana. Hooray.

Two fixes for me have worked so far.

Xbox controller not working: Check your device manager and under "human interface devices" disable everything named "HID compliant game controller" and also any other controllers, joysticks, etc that you aren't using.

Bonfire crash: Turn of SSAO and turn shadows down to low.

Been working smoothly since then on my GTX 770 since I got it figured out. Getting decent frames.

The shrine itself loads first so you don't have to wait forever every time you want to level up. Only place in the game that does this.

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?

I would also like to know if anyone has a solution to this. Or is it a "play in windowed/wait for the patch" kind of deal?

-Xbox360 controller doesn't work. Based on the buttons on-screen, only an Xbox One controller will work, as the buttons referenced on the screen do not exist on the 360 controller.

-Xbox one controller does not automatically work with Windows 10 and its integrated Xbox experience.

-Not downloading DS4Windows because I'd like to play more than 30 minutes at a time before recharging the batteries.

-Of course, every time you turn on your Xbox One, there is an hour long process of updating the system hardware.

-System hardware on the Xbox One must be updated before the controller can be updated.

So, basically I made my character and I've been loving around with my controllers ever since, ready to rip out somebody's underwear through their throat.

I'm using a 360 wired controller just fine.

I have no idea where to go after firelink tho...uhhh?

It won't work.

Taking off my armor does not work.

Turning off SSAO and shadows does not work.

Rolling back my drivers does not work.

I am stuck. At this loving bonfire. And it crashes every time I try to leave.

And I've played enough to know how good it is when it lets me actually play it.
