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.

Issues fixed

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

Install ≥6GB RAM or install DSR.rar fix^[3]^[4]

Refresh rate setting stuck at 60 Hz

Changing refresh rate will not remove the 60 FPS cap but will result in less screen-tearing with Vsync off, making for a smoother image without the potential performance impact Vsync can induce.

Fixed via patch released on May 28th^[5]

Issues unresolved

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.
