What is this?
This is a PvP focused mod that attempts to improve Dark Souls while keeping a light touch on all existing gameplay. No crazy weapon reworks (yet), but small improvements, new features, and general fixes.
It’s still under active development, so expect new releases often, but it’s ready for a public beta release now!
What’s it do?
A quick overview is
* the built in "anti-cheat" and banning functionality is removed
* fixes a lot of bugs (both those from PTDE and added in DSR)
* quality of life improvements
* wex-dust (invade any area with a single item)
* a number of anti-cheat preventative measures
* netcode improvements
* bringing back some of the original PTDE features

Why should you use it?
For one, it means you can build PvP characters with CE and not worry about getting banned anymore.
For another, it’s completely backwards compatible with non-mod players. You can have the mod on and play with anyone, and still get all the benefits the mod offers. No need to turn it on and off, it handles everything automatically.
Finally, you probably want at least one of the features it provides. Check out the changelog, we’ve got something for everyone.
What’s this “legacy” vs “overhaul” stuff?
This is how I separate the parts of the mod that actually change the gameplay and balance from the parts that don’t. For example, animation speed changes only take effect in overhaul mode, but anything in legacy mode (like bug fixes) are on in both legacy and overhaul mode.
To transition between overhaul and legacy mode, press F5 (this will be made more clear with later releases). You’ll see a line of output in the console windows that indicated what mode you’ve changed to.
When playing, basically all this means is that you set the mode you want, and anyone who connects with you will also change to that mode. If they can’t change (i.e they’re a non-mod user), by default the mod changes your mode to allow them in.
How do i install it?
Either download the zip from here, or from github at https://github.com/metal-crow/Dark-Souls-1-Overhaul/releases/latest
Unzip the contents of the zip into your DARK SOULS REMASTERED folder to install (so d3d11.dll should be in the same folder as the game exe). If a command window pops up on game start, the mod is installed.
Uninstall
To uninstall or disable the mod, remove d3d11.dll. I also recommend deleting or restoring your old save on uninstall, to prevent a possible ban now that the mod is disabled.
