DSR Watchpup
- Main thread, NexusMods
- While not as powerful as Dark Souls PVP Watchdog for Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition due to Dark Souls Remastered's additional anti-cheat features, DSR Watchpup for Dark Souls Remastered provides tools such as rudimentary player anomaly detection and automatic in-game save backups.
VR support
Issues unresolved
Clipping issues with small landscape obstructions
- Slope interactions are slightly different at 60 FPS, may cause getting "stuck" on small obstructions.[5] This bug is not present in Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition at 30 fps, see Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition#cite note-floor collision-17.
Broken roll and feet animations
- Strange animations when rolling or shifting feet unique to the Remastered version.[6]
Missing ambient sound
- Ambient sound sometimes does not load for example when changing areas.[7]
Reloading fixes temporarily.
Issues fixed
Reduce occurrence of enemies teleporting when using jumping attacks [citation needed]
Use Riva Tuner Statistics Server to cap frame rate at 45-48 FPS
|
- Download RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS) and install.
- Open RTSS.
- Make sure Framerate Limit is selected (click on Frametime Limit, if shown, to toggle between the two settings) and set the value to 45-48 FPS, depending on preference. Most other RTSS settings may be left at default.
- Leave RTSS running in the background or minimized while playing.
- FPS cap of 45 FPS does not excessively slow down gameplay or animations.
|
The game doesn't detect Xbox One (and newer) gamepads
Disable configurations support in Steam controller settings and use devreorder to hide XInput device(s)
|
- Download devreorder and unpack it into a temporary folder
- Run
DeviceLister.exe , copy the GUIDs of all available controllers
- Open
devreorder.ini for editing and paste the GUIDs into [hidden] section, save the file
- Put the edited
devreorder.ini and the dinput8.dll from x64 folder into game's installation folder (where DarkSoulsRemastered.exe is)
- Go to Steam settings, Controller, General Controller Settings
- Disable all "configuration support" options and save Steam settings
- Xbox One/Series gamepads should be detected properly now
