So what's with the political advertising in the thread title?

FEEL THE BERN: Beware Dark Souls 3 PC/Steam users
- Thread starter wheeplash
- Start date
Like I said in a previous post, my wife's account was flagged the first time she launched the game, so there was no "invalid" data for her to remove at the time. The "caution: invalid data was detected" message persists on her account until this day, but she was never actually banned with the follow-up message that says you have been penalized because invalid data remains on your account. So, it seems there's no escaping the "friendly reminder" once your account is flagged.
Just hilarious mod/admin shenanigans, those zany guys and gals filtered PSA into a variation of terms, like Ancient Aliens or feel the Bern

The PC version isn't "infested", it has a small number of players with defects trying to ruin the game for others. The game is incredible on PC, and I'd rather play offline until it's fixed than play it on console with the constant frame rate and frame time issues, the experience is night and day.
I assume OP wrote PSA in the title.
Not gonna lie, despite being able to play offline etc it completely killed any interest I had in playing Dark Souls 3 this weekend. Not that I think I would run into hackers or anything, but it just put me off tbh.
The other hacker was floating in the air away from the map. The hacker decided to teleport to the floating hacker and fell into the abyss then screwed up the games camera angle when he teleported back to the surface. Resulting him to suicide.

you really have to wonder how pathetic and awkward the dude must be in social situations. Makes me feel better about myself tbh. He probably looks at the ground when others talk to him.
No, you just can't change covenant items while playing multiplayer

Just getting them too fast, I guess like if you go from 0 to 1m souls in less than 2 seconds, then obviously that means something weird happened.
That seems like a weird glitch in their system. I hope in the next patch that they make some tweaks to the ban system.
But anyway, it's also proof that they don't automatically ban people who have their account flagged. So it's not a 1/1 thing.
But anyway, if enough people say something, and because the stream was made public it's more likely that these people affected will not be banned, as long as the affected parts are gone (i.e. killing themselves once so the souls are gone and the dragon transformation is gone)
EDIT: Lol, just realized that FEEL THE BERN is the PSA filter, I thought the original poster actually used it on purpose. ha ha
Thats a shame, really
I think: he called someone names.
Oh I'll be back soon enough
Probably the fact I'm quite tired after this week at work doesn't help either, I'm spending more time surfing GAF than playing games lol.

Name calling. I messaged him saying to remove it, and he did, but it's the reality of signing up to a message board and not being able to show restraint even when emotional and then ending up breaking clear rules. No one wants to be on the receiving end of being called crass names.
Oh I'll be back soon enough
Yeah im waiting for Overwatch myself to start in a few days
Watching stuff and browsing GAF.

Who are you voting for in the primaries? Can I interest you in some literature regarding why Bernie Sanders would make an excellent 45th Pesident of the United States of America?

Can I just block this guy on steam and not have to deal with him?
Audioboxer

?¿?
What? The remark made was to a GAFer not the person on YT. Anyway I digress too much, moderators handled things.
Also glad this is over on livestream. Hope we hear from From soon about what they are going to do.
Dont think matchmaking is affected by steam user block at all.
You can always do it for good measure.
If you select "Start in Offline" restart your game and you will see a option named "Log In" under "Continue".
At this point unless you click "Log In" you are offline and safe.

Yes, choose OFFLINE and you won't run into any players. You may still be invaded by NPC invaders. But they are only NPC's

Thanks!
1. Choose "Start in Offline" in menu
2. Restart game
3. Click "Continue instead" of "Log in"

Am I missing some kind of joke here?
No no, not at all, it's been long known that GAF is just a front for the moderation team to use as their platform to sway the favour towards Bernie Sanders in the upcoming election. Evilore has conspired with Bernie for years in exchange for a spot as VP.

But watch out for another hacker named Longfinger Kirk
Longfinger Kirk, the e-boogeyman. Used to scare console users who misbehave.

As a console player, I have to say this is just baffling, and very frightening, to me. I'm glad it doesn't seem to be an issue on console.
Thinking about it some more, how come this isn't an issue on PS4 and XBO, but is on PC? The main difference I can think of between these platforms is that you have to pay to play online on consoles but not on PC. Maybe the money they get from the subscription fees allows Sony and Microsoft to keep cheaters away, while Valve lack the money to do so because they insist on not charging for multiplayer. Maybe having to pay to play online makes users more careful so that they avoid cheating in fear of losing their money.
We gamers need to do something about this situation. Maybe if we start boycotting Valve until they get their heads out of their asses and start charging for online play, we can make a change to make PC a more customer friendly platform. I think if we band together on Twitter and try to get #ValvePaidOnline trending, we can make a change for the better for the PC platform and give Valve the resources to deal effectively with cheaters.

A mod gave him some souls.
Much simple: consolle are closed systems, PC are open ones.
Also, I hope you are just trolling hard here.
You can't be serious right? Valve doesn't lack money. Reason for more cheats is because PC is more of an open platform.

You know, my last name is Lima (one of them, anyway). Don't pick on people just because their name happens to also be the name of a city (and a fruit).

It takes a minute to backup your save, do it now.
Folder: Users - USERNAME - AppData - Roaming - DarkSoulsIII - 01100001018f093f
File: DS30000.sl2
It seems to be one file for all characters. AppData is a hidden folder so you'll need to unhide folders to see it.
I created a folder on Dropbox called "01100001018f093f" and put the "DS30000.sl2" file in there, then I just overwrite it everyday, or whenever I've had a big session. It takes about 1 minute a day to do manually so it's well worth doing just in case, it's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Not sure if this is serious but the reason is as simple as this:
Each console is running a obscure locked down OS compared to Windows which is a open system.
Once consoles get properly jailbroken this will allow ease of use of cheats on console as well, very much like on PC.
The money you pay goes not towards this at all, but merely "server upkeep"
Easier just to open command line and type %appdata%\DarkSoulsIII
