This page is for remaster of Dark Souls. For the original release of the game, see Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition.
Key points
- Game speed is tied to frame rate, anything lower than 60 FPS will cause the game to slow down.[1]
- Certain bugs that occur when running Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition at 60 FPS are still in this version, only now they're unfixable because you cannot choose to revert to 30 FPS. See Issues unresolved for more information.

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
"Fatal error: The system does not meet the minimum memory requirement to run the application"
