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 60fps are still in this version, only now they're unfixable because you cannot choose to revert to 30fps. See Issues unresolved for more information.
- Using a controller is strongly recommended.

DSR Watchpup
- Main thread, NexusMods

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
