Just read about a lot of players getting the ban-hammer. Let's hope we can slip through with this.

[quote="helifax"] I am actually preparing a new WIP;) [/quote] Great! I'm looking forward for it :) [quote="helifax"] I am really glad that people are still interested in 3D Vision, especially with all the VR hype around ^_^ The game looks absolutely spectacular now;)[/quote] Is there even a VR version for DSIII? Besides from that I'm sure that the hype will soon turn into the usual "needless gimmick" bashing as it happened to 3DVision and Nintendo 3DS. But that's another topic ;)

And I think that a great deal of "the fallen" will return when the hype fades sooner or later... I still consider many games to be a much better experience in 3D Vision IMO But as 3d4dd said - it's another topic :) Thanks a lot for all your hard work Helifax and Masterotaku, much appreciated :)

[quote="aeliusg"]Regarding online play, have any of you received the invalid game data warning/error using the fix?[/quote] Nope not getting anything like that here. Then again I didn't played the game a lot to be honest. I was mostly focused on fixing it rather than exploring/playing it. I only got to the Undead Settlement just last night :) [quote="KaiZas"]Just read about a lot of players getting the ban-hammer. Let's hope we can slip through with this.[/quote] No problem here so far. Never had a soft-ban/hard-ban in: - DS1 with Surround Fix (WideScreenFixer) + 3D Vision Fix. - DS2 with Surround Fix (FlawlessWidescreen) + 3D Vision fix. - DS3 with Surround fix (Hex Edit) + current 3D Vision fix. This means that I can see all the messages, pools of blood, summoning signs (while I am in the same Soul bracket as the current area/person with the sign). To be honest I can't even see how they can detect that we are changing shaders;)) They can't CRC/checksum anything here, as the shaders are sent to the GPU. Regarding the Hex edit, I guess they could CRC the whole exe, but so far they dont. All the bans are more or less related to you (the player) trying to exploit/hack the character in some way;)

[quote="nimis"]So is this game better than Witcher 3? I tried watch gameplay videos on youtube and seems like there is very few characters, dialogs and not so story rich game like Witcher 3?[/quote] It's different - it's not open world like Witcher 3 and the combat controls are much tighter. It's lore rich but the narrative is kind of obscure - the lead designer loved the idea of Western fantasy as a kid but his understanding of English was limited and, with the games, he is trying to recreate that experience. The Souls games are challenging but once you get hooked, you get hooked.

Even if they do CRC the shaders we still use the same CRC to load our shaders and that is PAST their checks. CRCing the EXE is also hard(er) while it runs... They can't ALSO CRC any of the drivers of Windows Libraries or Window Context Creation (where our Wrapper, SweetFX etc comes into place). The HUGE BUZZ is about DS2 and DS2FIX64 that besides fixing the rendering it also FIXED/HACKED core game stats (like "fixing" the durability bug -> HACK) or other things related to the GAME-PLAY! So, yes that is a CHEAT (even if it corrects a BUG). Since no one is using DS2FIX64 and NOT OFFICIALLY supported ended up in some players using it, others didn't and an IMBALANCE in the game-play (some had advantages over others). Hence a cheat;) DS3 seems to have a problem with SYNCH between OFFLINE and ONLINE play from what I read and it's more likely caused by a server bug! Soft-bans don't actually do anything to the game. You can still play it full and such. It just LIMITS (NOT DISABLES) the ONLINE interactivity between players;) EDIT: Funny now I also get an "Invalid Data" thing WITH or WITHOUT the fix...very strange... I also found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/4fmhws/help_tons_of_legitimate_pc_players_have_now_been/ BUHAHAH...Seems FROM SOFTWARE fucked it up:)

Supposedly, they'll be releasing an official statement about it today. According to this guy he didn't cheat, so he started a thread to find a consensus about what the offending cause might be. https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/4fmhws/help_tons_of_legitimate_pc_players_have_now_been/ his screenshots of warnings...

I literally just got it now on the 3rd log in:)) First 2 logins where OK which happen like 10 minutes before... Confused lol... And where will be that official statement?:) Deleting the game + everything in %appdata% got me: - The EULA window (like first login) - After which that message...hahahaha - The game doesn't use Steam Cloud Saves and I can see that my saves weren't pulled in... RANT: FREAKING STUPID JAPANESE PROGRAMMERS MAN!!! They can't DO one freaking game rights: DS1 WAS A JOKE OF A PC PORT, DS2 was better but still a joke! DS3 we get this??? Yes, I did play with CheatEngine in it TRYING TO FIX the Surround problems! This was in offline and in the freaking MAIN Menu, not even a started game, but that's about it.... So I cheated what? THE MENU?!?!?! Freaking hell...LOL and this was LAST WEEKEND!! hahahaha Rant over ^_^

So, Dark Souls 3 from AWESOME From Software: - LOCKED Resolution to 1080p -> check - No 21:9 or Surround support -> check - Hack of an engine -> check - Crappy shaders (like all DS games) -> check - Getting weird BANS over the place -> check ^_^ Seems like a game made in 2000 not 2016...

Just to use the "Dark Souls Reference:"

  • Undead Server - for those not affected/"legit" players
  • Hallow Server - for us scourge of the Undead who like to actually play the game on our terms and not theirs


So far it looks like the "Hallow Server" is more populated (or gets) than the normal one:))

I heard that users could be restored in DS2 by waiting 30 days or something without playing the game (I will try to dig up the source, it was a Reddit post). You could try family sharing with another account to let your main one "cool down." Don't replace your save, of course, or that one will also be flagged, I think. AFAIK the game also detects things like CE in offline mode and flags you locally, then tells the server when you next log-in from what I've gathered. Things have been a mess so far, I think they will probably undo this first ban wave since some people may have been flagged due to crashes. I hope any users unjustly affected by this can get things resolved.
