Ok I seriously need some suggestions here because iv'e been trying to figure this shit out for hours now and it's starting to become seriously mentally grating. So dark souls prepare to die edition for no reason started not working today. I first disabled dsfix and that didn't do anything. Iv'e restarted my PC, messed around in GeForce settings, rolled back a windows update, tried verifying game cache, tried deleting and reinstalling the game, re enabling dsfix, tried to run as admin on the exe(although this did nothing.) ran in compatibility mode for windows service pack 3 and NOTHING has worked.
I'm so fucking angry I don't know what the fuck else this shit wants from me to make it work.
Sometimes if I wait a few minutes it will work but i'm not gonna wait 2-5 minutes every time just to start a fucking game up.

Does this work for anyone else?
>>
>>375940298
do you have some sort of torrenting software if so you can try and download my configs
>>
>>375940951
yeah. Iv'e heard of people doing that i'm not sure how effective it will be but..
>>
>>375941160
but what?
>>
>>375941570
Nothing. Just give me your config and i'll try it I guess.
>>
>>375941685
kk just give me 1 sec

>>375941685
w8 what are the files that i need to share?
>>
>>375942586
Shouldn't you know? you offered to give me them.
>>
>>375942616
i think i know i'm just uncertain
>>
>>375942712
Well I don't know either but if you think you got it let me try.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea. You want to give me your ini file right?
>>
>>375942812
if you just want my DSfix.ini i can just copy it into 4chan.

Apparently DSfix can cause problems though..

I guess i'll try.
>>

It's AA on in game?

Did you recently update to Windows 10, OP?

Nope fucking nothing.


>>375943792
No I don't think so.
>>
>>375940298
Windows just sucks.
>>
>for no reason

did you install some shitty software or fuck with your operating system in any way since the last time you launched it?

you could maybe do a system restore to a few days ago and fix it maybe
>>
wow OP i think you're on point of doing a clean OS install. :^)
>>
>>375943961
I just don't understand how it was working fine before and now it won't.

>>375944083
Yeah I tried that already. I heard installing a codec pack might work and I recognized the website because I had to get the 32bit version for SWAT3.

I thought maybe that was it but it was working just fine before that even with the codec pack...


>>375944110
I really hope not. There's no fucking way i'm doing that.


Also I tried changing compatibility mode to but still didn't do anything. My only option I could try and is pirating the game and maybe moving the settings over?
>>
>>375944240
why not delete the whole game except your save file and then reinstall
>>
>>375944338
Like delete it manually or uninstall it from steam? and where is the save file located?
>>
>>375944338
could be corrupted data from the computer being improperly shut down

Just torrent the pirate version and use that. I think it's a FairLight release. I use DSfix 2.2 with it or something and it works.

Before someone goes ape. I already bought the PC collectors edition for ~45 bucks so spare me.
>>
>>375944509
I like it tracking my playtime though and i'm very anal about my games being on steam.


I'm gonna pirate a copy just to try it but i'm really pissed off that this game decided to be bi polar for no reason and started doing this bullshit
>>
>>375944459
>Like delete it manually or uninstall it from steam? and where is the save file located?

doesnt really matter unless the problem is in a save or config file which is located somewhere else and not removed by deleting the program folder

and save folders for steam games are always either in appdata, my documents or steam i think but its easier googling then checking all three
>>
>>375944459
Mine is in My Documents > NBGI > DarkSouls > FairLight. :^)

Is this where the save file is?
>>
>>375944590
I know it sucks but it's likely an anecdotal case related to something with your machine, I doubt it's a widespread issue so I wouldn't blame the game just yet.

Are you using Windows 10?
>>
>>375944947
No. Windows 7 ultimate.
>>
>>375944892
Yes.
>>
OP here. I have to go soon but if anyone else can help it be appreciated. I don't know what the fuck else it wants from me.
>>
>>375944892
No the save file is called DRAKS0005.sl2

Do a search for it. In any case it's a *.sl2 file

Around 4 226KB for mine
>>
>>375940298

Try unplugging USB devices one at a time, starting with your input devices such as a controller if you're using one. I have an issue when I have an XBone controller connected that the game seems to freeze on startup but will eventually start working after about two minutes if I have my controller plugged in.

Dude 90% of steam games don't even work or just randomly crash.
>pc gaming is a meme
Unless it's some current game that is up to date with current drivers
>>
>>375945078
Did you make sure you didn't set GeForce Experience or anything auto update drivers or something? Other than that could be file corruption or game data or anything. Check your HDD's health or I don't know I'm not really a tech expert.
>>
>>375944509
>for ~45 bucks
I should mention that was actually 55 bucks at the time but I adjusted for inflation.
>>
Tried running a pirated version, same bullshit still...
>>
Just use DSFix moron
>>
>>375943037
If you have a monitor with a higher refresh rate, you can also try setting that last value to whatever it is instead of 60. Game will still lock to 30 or 60, obviously.
>>
>>375945735
Good news then you know it's not the game. I don't know what it is but it's something with your machine or settings. Try >>375945292
