I just started Dark Souls and a DOSBox window popped up. I was making GBS threads myself until I realised I'd accidentally clicked on X-Com instead. The port isn't that bad!

Do you know if any of the big review sites are preparing reviews for this, or is it being ignored?

Anyone else having trouble staying connected to GFWL?

Hmm, it's not detecting my PS3 controller. I'm using MotionInJoy to emulate a 360 controller and it isn't registering in-game. Anyone know what to do? I can't praise the sun on a keyboard.

Aww man. my Radeon 7850 is getting some nasty framerate hitches at seemingly random points. C'mon AMD, don't do this to me.

Anyone else get it on GMG? I registered the code they gave me on Steam but it still just says Dark Souls Pre-Order.

Edit: Nevermind, just unlocked. :)

If it doesnt detect your controller try unplugging your keyboard especially if you have one of those big annoying ones. I have a Saitek Eclipse that for some reason is considered a joypad in every version of Windows since it came out a billion years ago. The last game that had the problem was GTA III. Unplugged mine and it saw the 360 controller and I was able to plug it back in. Also check for things installed as game controllers and disable them in the control panel.

Yeah, I don't have an OFFICIAL Xbox360 controller and it won't recognize any of the stick inputs. Blah.

It looks like it might have been trying to use my N64 controller that I had plugged in. That would have been interesting.

Man, gently caress GFWL. My main account was compromised like, months ago, and I dealt with it, but they must've not put it in the NOT-COMPROMISED pile yet. I had to use my alternate account for this, oh well.

I'd be wary about using this. Maybe I'm being :tinfoil: here but what if they ban people for using different software and stuff?

I'm one of the growing numbers on the steam forums who have the game lock up and kill your computer at the start menu/during the opening movie. It even dropped a BSOD on me, it's like the good old days.

I don't think you have much to worry about.
The paranoia would probably be justified if it was a competitive PvP game, like CoD or something, but not with this.

I wouldn't be worried; it's more or less the equivalent of using something like a FXAA or SMAA injector. Same file and everything!

Even Blizzard doesn't ban people for using custom shaders in Diablo 3. They don't allow you to cheat.

Did anyone else have router issues with patching GFWL? I disabled windows firewall and that definitely wasn't it so now I need to hop on my router but I know for a fact UPNP is enabled, so uhhh

I'm just having some fun 20 fps issues on my 7850. Someone else I know who is playing with a 6850 has rock solid 30 fps and just got to firelink.

I need to see which drivers he is using.

Wow the framerate is loving terrible. Classic Japanese PC port, well done guys.

Edit: it's got all the hallmarks: terrible options, can't remap gamepad buttons, poor framerate and resolution, crappy online system (GFWL, really?). It's even harder to see anything than in the console version because it's way darker even with the brightness at 10. This is amazing.

Dark Souls is a competitive PvP game. :c00lbert: Actually I do almost nothing but co-op

But yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. Loads of people used modified DLLs for single/multiplayer games on Steam before, and I can't think of anyone getting banned for it. I mean, a huge chunk of the people on these forums had to use those exact same kind of files to get Rage to run well when it launched.
