Delete system 32.

Pirated copy?

>>16071876

Yes. Tried two different, with Games for windows live, and the one from Steam.

>>16071894

Is it an up to date version? That could be the reason. I haven't tried modding DS beyond DSFix and the connectivity mod, so I can't help beyond basic suggestions.

>>16072030

Obviously no. How to update steam-rip, without license game in Steam?

>>16072361

You're a fucking dickhead.

>>16072533

Say how to solve

Or fuck off

>>16072735

You solve it by being not a dickhead.

>>16072825

gtfo bitch

>>16071834

English is not your native language, is it? Look, you'll have to provide more information than that.

1. Make sure you have an up to date copy of the game (version 1.17.2)

2. Make sure you're using an up to date version of the mod (version 2.0.2)

3. Make sure your copy of the game was not previously unpacked by another utility, (i.e. you want a fresh copy with no prior tampering or modification, no DSFix, etc)

If you're pirating, then you'll have to find a torrent that will give you access to version 1.17.2, then try again. Then, follow the instructions as listed on the mod's description page:

1. Make a backup of any saved games. (The tool should not modify or delete these files.)

2. Install and set up DSFix or other .dll-based mods. Some users have reported that installing these mods after unpacking causes crashes.

3. Download UnpackDarkSoulsForModding and place the executable file in your Dark Souls DATA directory.

4. Run UnpackDarkSoulsForModding.exe by double-clicking on it. A command prompt window should appear.

5. Do not close the window until the prompt indicates that the process has completed. Make sure you read any prompts carefully before answering.

6. If you are not using a standard installation, the tool will prompt you for input if it discovers irregularities. Choosing to continue will attempt unpacking, but may crash or produce incorrect results, especially if the archive files are non-standard. For best results if this occurs, re-install / verify cache in Steam, installing .dll mods as above if needed.

try learning english first

>>16072994

Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Russia

I understand why it does not work, but

>you'll have to find a torrent that will give you access to version 1.17.2

OMG, was someone upload it at all?

And if there is no required repack or crack, is it means that mods are impossible? (Descriptions of mods says that unpack Dark Souls is needed for them to work)

>>16073036

Suck my balls

No required version. How to update the game?

>>16071834

/v/ isn't a fucking tech support forum. Fuck off.

>>16073814

So what?

>>16073036

Kind of self-sabotaging to say when English isn't your first language either.

>>16073814

Not like any of you fags got anything better to do.

Fuck, how to install mods on Dark Souls w/o license?

>>16075556

>>anon, shitposting again? Stop wasting your life away! Fix my shit instead.

Why don't you try to learn yourself, slavman?

What are some good DS1 mods in the first place, besides DSFix?

>>16076012

Rekindled adds bonfires, moves some around and generally mixes things up so it's a different experience if your tired of the layout the original game gives you.

DM'd you the fix :)

>>16076012

I know of Rekindled being a bit like how Scholar was for II, it moves some things around but is pretty much the same game.

Then you get some more major ones like Ashen Contract and Daughters of Ash. These change things up quite a bit. I will get around to playing them one day, but I've told myself to take a break from Souls. I generally do a run of the games each year and want to try and stop that.

Bump

>guys how do I install something which has lenghty guides?

Read the fucking guide.

>>16079505

It tolds "pirated version isn't supported". Then, how to install mods on pirated Dark Souls at all?

Buy the game faggot.

>>16080465

Hasn't the game been removed from the Steam store?

>>16077809

Read Daughters of Ash posts and bug reports on the Nexus. One of the comments made sure I'd never never touch this one. There's a lot of mods out there for different games that do exactly that that dude's talking about, and they all fucking suck.

"Sorry, you're an amazing programmer for being able to do this, but you're not a great level designer, the item and enemy placement is just straight up awful, reminding me of the worst parts of Dark Souls 2 and Nioh, with ganks after ganks with the mook shooting you from afar again and again. I do get curious what went through your head when designing those enemy positions and if you really thought that would be fun, if you really thought anyone would bother fighting these encounters instead of just running through everything, especially the bone chimney made me think "what the hell were they thinking".

I feel like what bothers me the most is that most changes feel like they were done for the sake of changing, not for making something better. Some specially good bonfire positions in the original were changed for no reason besides to say "I changed it". PtDA made changes, but also kept what was good and I can count in a single hand moments where I felt like an area was worse than the original. In case of this mod I can't find a single instance where I prefer this over the original."

Apparently the Prepared to Die Again mod is going to have an update "in a couple of weeks", so I'll give that a shot then. But for now I'll try a playthrough with the item randomizer.

>>16080465

>recomending buying games

You have to go back you faggotty reditor.

>>16080492

2 is B-team garbage. 3 is good but not Bloodborne. DLC for 3 is breddy gud.

>>16080492

DaS1 has an amazing first half, and an average second half; game has decent replayability and build variety. DaS2 varies from average to good in the base game, and from good to great in the DLC areas; but there's a lot of different builds and weapons to dick around with. Haven't played DaS3, so no comment.

You CAN play with mouse and keyboard, just like you can plug in a banana or a toaster or a Guitar Hero controller to do it. Doesn't meant you should. Get a gamepad.

Combat is good. Rolling and block cost stamina, which you also use to attack. Very few enemies bypass shields, but shields only block based on their "resist" stat, a shield with 80% Physical resist is going let through 20% of the damage, same with elemental damage. Parrying is more for non-boss humanoids, and helps you deal a metric fuck ton of damage, but carries a huge risk where if you fuck up you take the normal hit and don't do anything back.

>>16080492

Play the games with a controller. All of the games are good. More or less the quality goes like this

BB>DS1>DeS>DS3>DS2

Play them in release order. Don't bother asking gameplay questions. You won't get it until you play it anyway.

>>16080492

I have Dark Souls 1 and 3. 3 took some getting used to because everything is much more fluid and there are way more enemies, but I liked it a lot.

My major issue with 3 was that invasions are super fucking gay now. Invaders can drink estus (heal) now and every invader just hangs back and tries to bait you into enemies while throwing shit at you like a massive douche. If you ever get one of these guys in a 1v1 environment: you better hope you are using a very quick weapon or you will literally never hit them. Rolling has a ton of I-frames, can be spammed seemingly endlessly and stamina regenerates so quickly that you likely won't get a hit in even when they exhaust themselves. I was a strength build and my weapons were so slow I couldn't even connect after stunning them with a kick.

(Un)Luckily, the reverse is also true so you'll both end up rolling through everything and be locked in a stalemate until someone just gives up. Aside from that I think it's definitely worth a playthrough.

Anyway, on the topic of Dark Souls 1 knowledge:

I've heard mouse and keyboard are trash but I've also heard from some friends that they manage just fine. I think speedrunners use M+KB so it is definitely possible.

There are fake walls in certain places that you can hit or roll through. If you end up in a place where it seems like there should be more to it, or you go down a hallway and end up at a wall, try hitting it.

If you wanna run with shields that's fine, that's how I did my first play through. if you wanna block big damage though, you'll need a big shield. Heavier armor and weapons will sacrifice your rolling ability, but if you are committed to being a big boy then you will find that you hardly take enough damage to matter, anyway.

>>16080514

> DLC for 2 is breddy gud.

There, fixed it for you.

Unless you meant to say that the "trashes of ariandel", aka the everything is white gank dlc, and "remember previous souls games? xdxd" city were good.

>>16080465

have no money

>>16080465

Those kikes took PtD Edition away from the Steam store. There is now no legitimate way to acquire PtD Dark Souls for PC.

>>16080492

M+KB is trash even with DSFix for Dark Souls 1. They really didn't bother with the PC support.

>>16080553

>>16080577

>>16080697

>>16080963

Damn, so no KB/M huh? Sucks. Anyway, I'll pirate DS1 and see how it goes.

>>16080744

The DLC for 2 is shit. Slightly less shitty than base 2, but still shit.

>>16080492

1 is good, 2 is shit, 3 is alright, and BB is okay. Don't listen to the faggots who praise BB so highly, it is way overhyped. 3 gets rightful hate but isn't as bad as people say. 2 is just a fucking mess, you'd have to really play it to understand though. 1 is the best place to start if you can't play Demons first.

>>16081027

DSFix for Prepare to Die and I think Remastered have better KB+M support than the base game. Still probably isn't the best experience regardless.

The greatest mod for Dark Souls is Johnathan Billy

piracy us bod uwu

>>16080577

>BB top stop

>DeS over DS3 but below DS

What a garbage list

>>16081123

Remastered kb+m is perfectly serviceable, same with DS3. once i got used to it i actually ended up preferring it to controller

>>16081027

Well, pirate Dark Souls PTDE and try to install any of these mods

https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls/mods/1517

https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls/mods/1468

If you will make it work, please tell there how. Both of the mods requires "unpack DS for modding" that does not work on the pirated game.

>>16080489

>>16080963

What is retail?

Is the remaster worth getting if I already have prepare 2 die edition? Is the online active?

>>16083035

Online is dead and Remaster helps split both the communities. Remaster honestly has very little going for it.

>Supported 60FPS, no more wonky physics, no sliding down ladders and falling through the void

>Magic and pyromancy effects are nice

>QoL changes such as UI scaling, being able to use multiple souls at once and the bonfire by Vamos

>New lighting looks good in a few places

I think that's it for the positives.

<Many bugs still remain from PtD, especially for online which was never that good to begin with

<Splits the DS community so if you are a PVPfag you will be missing out anyway

<Online has changed so more phantoms can play in the same host's world

<Overpriced for what it is

<Removed Prepare to Die from the store, so there is no longer a legitimate way to play it (biggest sin they committed in my opinion)

<Covenants, while never a strong point, are even more meaningless now, much easier to switch and switch back

<The lighting is fucked in some areas like Logan's hideaway in the library, the Darkroot Basin having a sun reflect off of the water while standing right next to a cliff that should block it

<The lighting makes some armour pieces/sets look like shit, main example being the Elite Knight gear, essentially the canon or poster boy armour

If stable 60FPS is that important, you should probably get Remastered. DSFix was fine for me. The rest of the changes aren't a big deal and some downright lessen the experience.

>>16083047

I read the changes, looks like they pussified the invasions just like DS3. Fuck it, I'm going back to PS3. P2D is a fucking mess even with dsfix

>>16084264

> Also a gamepad is pretty much mandatory.

absolutely false

>>16084264

nah, 2 was really bad. Coming into it after one was like playing a completely different game.

>>16084334

DS2 got an unfair treatment because everyone is going to compare it to DS1, which is a far better game. On it's own it's enjoyable but if you've already played the first one, then you have a very unfair comparison to make with enemy design, enemy placement, overworld design and it's infamous hitboxes. It did some cheeky things like being doused in water reducing fire damage but increase lightning damage and powerstancing, but it fucked up too hard in other things.

>>16084360

>then you have a very unfair comparison to make with enemy design, enemy placement, overworld design and it's infamous hitboxes

…I'm sorry, but how exactly do you think one would make a good action game if you have bad enemy design, enemy placement, and inaccurate hitboxes?

Those are three pretty fucking essential ingredients to a good action game.

>>16084412

Notice I never said it's bad, I said it's worse. If DS2 was the first DS people would've treated it like a game with lots of rough patches but a lot of potential, however since it's a sequel and everyone was expecting an improvement over DS1, which 8 years later is still the best soulslike if there even is such a genre, it felt like an terrible game.

Pirates are the niggers of the internet. Literally downloading chinese malware on their computers because they are too stupid to get a job and pay for their shit. Later on they get so defensive but it's just themselves hurting themselves the most top KEK…..

>>16084533

>>16084740

Yeah, like bottles of Mountain Dew you can reuse as piss bottles and air freshener for your pig sty of a room.

I love how normal people with normal lives and jobs cause so much fucking salt for pirate niggers and neets.

>>16084740

<60$

<a lot

Kid, 60$ is piss money. It's nothing unless you work at a gas station for minimum wage. 60$ is what I could wipe my ass with every day.

>>16084523

>Notice I never said it's bad, I said it's worse.

Okay, but I say it's bad. Several of the enemy designs are objectively bad (such as the giants at the dragon temple with seemingly infinite stamina, the ogres with their absolutely bullshit hitboxes, and those FUCKING ICE REINDEER), many of the hitboxes are objectively downright atrocious (I mentioned ogres, you can get grabbed by a mimic while fucking behind it, and literally every single boss grab attack). The only thing I can't say is objectively bad in that list is the enemy placement, and then only because it depends entirely on how much you value enjoyable difficulty against annoying bullshit, and all I have to do here is point to both Shrine of Amana and the FUCKING ICE REINDEER.

>>16084735

It doesn't matter how much it adds or how well it adds them if it can't even succeed at the basics. Powerstancing is cool and I was legitimately sad to see it go, and it's definitely better with multiplayer though that doesn't matter a fucking jot to me since I never summoned. And a few of the NG+ changes, like Freya attacking you on the cliffside, were actually interesting, I will give them credit for that.

But I don't see why you're bringing Estus Shards and Bone Dust into it, DS1 did almost the exact same thing with kindling and Fire Keeper Souls. Torches were utterly worthless outside of a few nonsense puzzles (setting fire to a goddamned iron windmill? Really?), Fragrant Branches of Yore were poorly thought out and at least in SotFS could fuck you over since one of them is behind a fucking statue, lockstones were used maybe a handful of times outside of what were probably the most aggravating areas in the base game. And all of this is still beside the point because they still couldn't get the basics right.

>>16080489

Every time I look at this mod I think to myself that this guy really liked DS3 over this game. He sure tried his best to import that design into the game and it doesn't fit at all. This in particular just screams those sentiments, as if he thought that people were obligated to fight the titanite demon to unlock the shortcut.

>>16083047

Lets not forget the Remaster has a huge shitty EULA that makes mods bannable.

>>16080492

Roll is now vulnerable?
