Ok, so, what sort of hoops do I have to jump this time to get a controller working for the steam version?

I've got this old playstation styled logitech controller that did work for ds1 and for ds2 with some 3rd party poo poo, but with ds3 all Ican do is move my guy around, none of the other buttons do anything.

I'm trying to fiddle with x360ce but idk, this poo poo is just tedious as all hell.

Setting light effects to low and switching from pyromancer to knight seems to have eliminated all my crashing. What a weird game.

I picked the dex guy and crashed right after the first bonfire.

Also my PC is going haywire, the fans sound like they are dying. I'm guessing this isn't the best of PC ports.

Put in a refund request. i5 4590, 24GB RAM, and an MSI 970. No reason it should run like poo poo, but it did.

Running fine with the same setup except with 8GB of Ram at 1080p/Max settings. Currently using 361.91 drivers. No crashes and started as Pyromancer.

Also using a PS4 controller plugged via USB.

Flame effects in general seem to be what's causing the crashes. Which is hilarious considering the themes of this game.

Bonfires, pyromancy and the fire breath from the dragon have all crashed my game horribly.

I feel like I'm compelled to defeat enemies that are too tough simply because I know you can do it. Then I proceed to die 10 times to this abomination.

By the way, did anyone feel like the tutorial boss is a deliberate subversion of the boss fights in DkS2? I'm so glad I hadn't seen that beforehand.

Try downloading Input Mapper, it is a later version of DS4Windows, which is what I'm using to use my Dualshock 4 on PC.

I am in the same boat, I get 3 or 4 summon signs appearing at small intervals around bonfires (they also seem to disappear very quickly if you dont act), and something like 7/10 summon attempts immediately fail. I do find that sometimes I place my own sign and get a summon straight away, which is cool.

Well one of the phrases is "Huh. It's a ..." so it's pretty cool in my book. Honestly it does seem more robust than 1 or 2. And someone upthread said you can link emotes to them somehow which sounds awesome.

Yeah I found a "Huh. It's a Shortcut" and things like that. And yeah you can link them to emotes like in Bloodborne.

Also playing dark souls 3 at 800x600, it's actually a PS2 game and we didn't realize it. My 550ti can run the game, though, and that's what matters.

Yeah, he was really cool. Only took me two tries, but a fun fight, and the reveal was very well done. "All right big guy, I know your ga-oh. OH! Now THAT'S a little more interesting!"
