"Patience", haha! Wow.

At least we know they're actually working on it after they got DS2:SotFS and DS3 up and running. So much time has passed since Elden Ring's release that people began to think online services wouldn't be restored at all."Patience", haha! Wow.

I've played the 3 core DS games back to back a couple times. It's interesting because it makes you notice the ebb and flow of difficulty a bit more. Especially in Scholar, where there are major spikes compared to the other titles. Elden Ring would probably feel like a breath of fresh air after the final slog of the DS3 DLC areas. Those are about as rough as it gets.
Your desktop, laptop, and Steamdeck, are all very different platforms. Seems like an issue with the game code, itself.So, I'm trying to play DS remastered and I have a miserable "hitching" across 3 different platforms; my desktop, laptop, and steam deck. Every 30 or so seconds everything will just stop briefly and then continue, so I wouldn't call it a stutter. I've tried searching but have come up with nothing. Any of you ever deal with this and find a solution?
Yeah to me it seems like it’s the game 100%, I’ve seen similar complaints on Reddit actually. Settings make zero difference.Your desktop, laptop, and Steamdeck, are all very different platforms. Seems like an issue with the game code, itself.
However, I don't see anyone complaining about it on Steam or DKSR Reddit.
The only thing I can think of, is try lowering a couple of graphical options and see if there is something weird with one of the options.

It’s really unfortunate, I want to experience the game but it’s entirely unplayable for me.
Yes! DLC was a bitch lol.were you able to finish Dark Souls 3 (including the DLC)?
Couldn’t get into Nioh (first one) or Sekiro. Actually enjoyed Remnant: From the Ashes but only for about 40 hours. Totally burnt out on Elden Ring after my fourth playthrough. Hoping I like Wo Long: Fallen Destiny.
FYI:
Maybe. But I'll whip out Havel's shield every now and then with the Lightning Spear. Plus I have the Dragon King Greataxe and Smough's hammer to play with at some point. I haven't put any points into Vit in probably 30 levels; they've been going into End in an effort to get a few more combat options since it currently only takes 2-3 swings to burn out the Sta which can be annoying when fighting groups or bosses.FYI:
Due to the scaling on the BKGS your damage at 50 STR is 595 compared to 588 at 40 STR. Those extra 10 soul levels would have been better used in VIT for your build. Scaling for STR drops off a cliff after 40. Damage at 99 STR would be 630.
Ah, okay. Smough's Hammer requires 58 STR to wield 1H, IIRC.Maybe. But I'll whip out Havel's shield every now and then with the Lightning Spear.

Going from 3 to Remastered was a total 180 for me lol. 3 felt like Roll Souls, 1 was clunky AF.I just went and tried DS 2 and 3. Both of them feel so clunky compared to Remastered that I don't think I can put the effort in to play them. 3 felt much better than 2 and while 3 does feel faster/smoother than DS1:Remastered it still feels off somehow.
I'm finally going to play the original and the remastered version on my Steam Deck. Then do the same for Dark Souls 2 and the remastered version. I like the idea of having the enemies in different locations and stuff.Trying to get through this slog of a game. Very nearly gave up multiple times, just so much endless trecking over and over only to get one shot by most bosses. This game makes Elden Ring look like Animal Crossing.
Gwyn is giving me a hell of a time. I realized though I didn’t play the dlc content or even went to the painted world so finished the painted world today, and started the dlc, which seems like it’s gonna be a major PITA.
Very little chance I’ll do Ng+, the fact that you can’t respec means you can’t really try out other builds and I also find resources too limited to try much else anyway. At this point I just want to beat it so I can say I did, then onto DS2. Once that’s done hopefully it’ll be time for the ER dlc or who knows, maybe an announcement for Demon’s souls on PC.
Definitely a great game but yeah, it’s brutal af.
Just a forewarning, I’ve played DS:R on multiple systems; two laptops, my desktop, and my steam deck, and it has this super annoying ‘hitching’ where everything just stops for like a half a second. I decided to just power through it but the issue is significantly worse on the SD. The original runs fine but the loss in visual quality wasn’t worth it to me.I'm finally going to play the original and the remastered version on my Steam Deck.

There is nothing different as far as game structure between PtDE and Remastered. I'd personally skip PtDE since it runs and looks significantly worse. Dark Souls 2 is worth it since there are noticeable changes between the original and SotFS. Personally, I like the original more the SotFS, but both are worth a playthrough.I'm finally going to play the original and the remastered version on my Steam Deck.

Never noticed on my PC. It was always perfectly smooth on both my i7-4770 and i9-9900K from TITAN X -> 2080 Ti -> 3090 (haven't played it on my 4090 yet).Just a forewarning, I’ve played DS:R on multiple systems; two laptops, my desktop, and my steam deck, and it has this super annoying ‘hitching’ where everything just stops for like a half a second.

Never ran into that with Remastered. I did with Prepare to Die Edition. In that case it was the way in which the game code enumerated USB devices, and you needed to clear out the inactive HIDs in the Device Manager to fix it.For whatever reason my controllers no longer work with Dark Souls: Remastered anyone encounter this issue? Guessing it's from a update since the last time I played.
Edit:
I fixed it, posting here incase anyone runs into this issue. All you have to do is go to your Steam Library > Dark Souls: Remastered > Unknown Controller Support > View Controller Settings > Then just setup the controller.
I'm not entirely sure what the issue was, but I think it had something to do with Steam's recent update that enabled Sony controllers to work natively in pretty much every game that has PS buttons built in, using the controller wirelessly. I've been too busy to actually read into it, but I noticed quite a few games that I was playing would now use the correct button icons. All I know is, maybe some games that say Unknown Controller Support may need to be manually configured. I'm not super technical on low level coding, so not entirely sure how they implemented it, but I think it's probably through some emulated driver that functions differently than how it used to prior to the update.Never ran into that with Remastered.
