Resolution was even lower - 1024x512 or something.Dark Souls on PC was locked to 720p and either 15 or 30fps with no graphics options.

Dutante's DSfix was not part of the plan!
I have Dark Souls 2 on my pc do I need this patch?
So the dropbox link has been nuked but the github repository is alright ?
You just need some ENB
Good news: everything's ok guys!
I just called Volker Rieck from FDS File Defense Service. They were indeed hired by Bandai Namco, but not the germany division, but theUSEurope one, to take down all the debug mode patches.

Mr. Rieck is currently writing emails to Namco and dropbox to clear everything. Durante is allowed to reupload the patch, there is nothing wrong with it.
Mr. Rieck was nice and took the time to explain the situation to me. I am currently on the phone, so I might add a bit more information when I come home in a few hours.
edit: also shame on the guy who send him a mail full of threats. He was a bit disturbed by that.
edit2: It was Bamco Europe who was asked by Bamco Japan, not US. Misremembered that, sorry!

Pardon my ignorance but what is ENB?
I figured it was a mistake.
Good work Chariot.
Direct X injector similar to DSFix or SweetFX. Adds in things like depth of field, AA, and other effects.
Dark Souls II, Skyrim, GTA IV are all famous for their ENB mods.
Oh damn where can I find the files for this and is it a pain in the ass to install?
Generally just leave it in The install path for the game, configure the settings files, and away it goes.

Thanks, do you know where I can find said files?
They should have made sure of that the company they contracted was gonna make a good job, or make sure they were competent enough to no fuck it up. They were acting on their name, Namco allowed it, so is their responsability when they fuck it.
Also DSFix, was one of the pillars of the success of Dark Souls on PC, it was featured on many websites (Kotaku comes to mind) and is highly unlikely that not even the EU or US offices aren't aware even in the slightest of that fact. So, yeah I expect Namco to know the work of Durante and make sure is not touched.
Glad to hear this will work out, and it was a mistake.
You can direct it at the DMCA which is what allows for things like this to happen in the first place.Gah now I have all this rage and nothing to direct it at!

Wow I missed a big chunk of this, but sorry you had to deal with this bull Durante. The ability to just strike and withhold content on whim (without actually being proven of anything) is crazy.
Wish you the best!
Too bad this thread was nothing but mindless calls for blood over what was most likely a mistake from the get go. Very irrational reaction from most of you ITT.
BTW I thought that the debug didn't allowed you to go into online mode and invade or getting invaded?
It does. You can even swtich to being something like the Hellkite drake and roast your invader.
host private lobbies to ensure only you and a friend link together (me and Illusorywall were able to learn a TON about Vagrants this way),
If you referring to me (which I assume, since we still have no word from Bandai Namco), I am not an Bamco employee, just a guy with a phone. Just want to clarify that, some media outlets already stating what I wrote as fact without waiting on official word or at least telling their readers that the source is only backed by itself so far. I know that I am telling the truth, but I doubt that any of the media outlets know that too.Bamco employee calling the company Bamco.
Nice.
Well, that's good. I'd hope they'd be less trigger happy about their takedown notices in the future, but it's very unlikely to happen. If a file from someone gets taken down which doesn't cause a part of the internet to blow up it would probably still stay down.
Believe me, if you saw my blog comments before I approve them you'd know it's more than one.

If it's in the debug menu, it's possible for From to do this in a (whatever) Souls 1/2/3/4 as an OPTION for the player to turn on/off for the sake of being able to co-op. Same with invasions.
No excuse of "BUT THAT'S NOT 'LORE'!" will let From get away from that.
So it was a mistake, then? Oh Bamco...
FreeWhere is this from?!

Disagree, a private citizen making a mistake like this against a company would likely get sued into oblivion after the fact even after fixing it.
If they don't want to be seen as either A) making unwarranted takedown notices or B) unable to actually vet what they're asking to have taken down, then they need to not make these mistakes and need to be called out for doing so - this is particularly true if Namco is going to hire some law firm that bills itself as being "experts" on DMCA law and getting files removed from the internet.
This doesn't make any sense. If a citizen brought some sort of copyright claim against a company, I'm sure they have recourse to (likely) get it tossed out, or defended.
ANDS said:Being copyright experts and "code" experts are two different things.
There are legit reasons to be annoyed by copyright claims, and DMCA; this situation isn't one of them.

How exactly is the fact that someone can take down an arbitrary non-infringing file without any consequences to them not an indictment against the DMCA?There are legit reasons to be annoyed by copyright claims, and DMCA; this situation isn't one of them.
