Does anybody know whether or not the PS5 version has any DualSense features? I'm still weighing up whether to go PS5 or Series X. From what I can tell the PS5 version has better loading times and a higher overall frame rate, but on the other hand friends are more likely to go Xbox which is making me lean that way.
Hey my dudes, who already have the game. Does the game have co-op that works? Asking for a friend.
No, really asking for a friend - they’re considering which platform to get it for and AFAIK there’s been some security issues leading to temporarily disabling the multiplayer stuff in Dark Souls that were supposed to affect ER as well. So we’re wondering whether that was fixed or not.
@Voltan yeah that's the Steam versions - I have Dark Souls 2 and 3 on Steam, and there's been no multiplayer for the last month or so (other platforms e.g. Playstation have been unaffected), but we've been assured that the servers will be back up after Elden Ring has launched, and hopefully Elden Ring itself is fine
I certainly hope so anyway, as I'm waiting for my Elden Ring launch edition with Steam key (somewhat at the mercy of Royal Mail as I ordered from Argos - got a text yesterday saying it had been sent but delivery is "between the 25th and 28th" - no guarantee of arrival on launch day. Which IMO is a little bit silly as it's a steam key so I wouldn't even be able to play it until the game launches anyway)
@lolwhatno Thanks. None of the reviews I read really seemed to be talking about it, so I kind of assumed there were no specific features. Good to see it written down somewhere though!
@velio84@danlk1ng Thanks for the answers. I’d still appreciate an answer from someone who tried going into multiplayer in ER themselves, because I’m getting mixed signals from other sources
@Voltan If no-one's answered you by the time I've received my box from Royal Mail, downloaded and booted up Elden Ring, I'll give it a go and let you know (Dark Souls multiplayer on steam has been so dead, you can't even see people's soapstone messages)
In terms of Playstation Elden Ring though, Playstation access did a stream just yesterday, where 3 of them were playing Elden Ring in co-op (and like I said, Dark Souls has been fine on Playstation this whole time as well) so there's no reason to believe it's an issue on Playstation platforms
Some DS players have been circumventing the issues on Steam by using private servers, but AFAIK that's not an option for playstation players
About the phenomenon of game data that does not save correctly in the PlayStation 5 version
If the PS5 console is unexpectedly turned off while playing a game or in rest mode, saved data may not be saved correctly.
We are aware of the cause of this issue and are working on a patch to correct it, but until the patch is released, please save your game manually by exiting the game regularly.
Game data will be saved correctly if you quit the game by opening the system menu using the OPTION button and selecting "Quit Game.”
The crowd, accepting this immediately, assumed the anti-Eurasian posters and banners everywhere were the result of acts of sabotage by agents of Goldstein and ripped them from the walls.
I'm still at work but my copy has arrived and the Mrs has been a star and has already got it set up. I can't decide between going for a melee quality build, like I did in bloodborne and dark souls 3, or a magic build like I did in demon souls. What are folks playing as/planning to pick?
@colonelkilgore ha yes!! I feel like that's a youtube clip out there with someone using a wii mote as a controller 😂 @velio84 that would work too, I really enjoyed the ds3 combat and want the visceral melee but the range from magic attacks was so useful in DeS
Got through character creation, and saving my 'proper' dive in for tomorrow!
I'm going to try and mirror the build I played through DeS on - running DEX with main focus on melee, but longbow also to ensure ranged attack is still on the table!
Picked Samurai as starting class, considering the stat allocation and starter weapons lend themselves to the above quite nicely.
Have others made a firm decision yet? Also looks like it might be easier than ever to 're-roll' stats in this game vs others?
Elden Ring has landed! And downloaded to my PC. It ran absolutlely awful for the first 30 secs or so, at which point I realised it was trying to run in "High" graphics settings, at 1440p on my 1060 3GB
(in non-PC speak, "that just ain't gonna happen"). Turning it down to "Low" and 1080p fixed it, and is the story of my life in PC games, as long as GPU prices stay like they are right now
