    A few weeks ago, my brother and I were branded with the Darksign (and a bonfire)

    I wonder what's below the cliffs around Undead Asylum

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 11:47 PM PDT

    Obviously if you just go and jump off the edge you just die and all you get to see is a bunch of foggy clouds, but I wonder what's below those clouds? Clearly it's a completely irrelevant detail that has nothing to do with the game or the story, but I'm kinda curious. Is it a seaside cliff, or is it just over some open plain, or maybe some village, abandoned or otherwise?

    Obviously any answers to this are going to be purely speculation and/or headcanon, but I'd like to see what people's takes are.

    I'd like to imagine that it's directly above Thorolund, where the Way of White Covenant was (most likely) founded, since it's the followers of Allfather Lloyd that imprison the Undead in the Asylum. Makes sense to me that they'd be close to the place.

    Which also makes me wonder if they're the ones that built the place... and subsequently how a giant demon came to be its warden...

    I died to Pinwheel

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 11:01 PM PDT

    Okay so this was my first playthrough (completed and now on 2nd). I had only seen memes about "Pinwheel being the hardest boss ever" and had no idea it was purely sarcasm. When I reached him, I was so terrified. I kept my shield up, waiting for him to do something. He made duplicates and killed me. The next time, I YOLOed him and killed him in about 3 seconds. Needless to say, I was so shocked, thinking I may have done something which no other dark souls player has done. I was about to rush to Reddit to boast about my achievement, but googled him to be sure that I had done something great, and sigh....I'm probably the only person who died to Pinwheel

    I finally beat Dark Souls. It is now among my favorite games of all time. This is pretty much my playthrough

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 12:36 PM PDT

    I had owned Dark Souls 1 on 3 platforms, Xbox 360, PS3, and Xbox One, but I was never able to finish it due to different circumstances in my life and the furthest I got, before recently, was Quelaag and The Fair Lady.

    I'll mostly be covering the major parts of my plathrough so some bosses might not be mentioned.

    Recently, I got a new PC, and I utilized family sharing with a friend to download Dark Souls Remastered; I wanted to see how it would run on a good PC, needless to say it looked great and ran smooth. After seeing that, I got through the Undead Asylum and made a decision to finally play through it and also to stream it to a discord server I'm in. So I abandoned pretty much all other games I played for around a week, only playing Dark Souls Remastered.

    At first, I was terrible and the only reason I got through the Asylum is because of how many times I had been through that area before. Undead Burg was a challenge for me at first mostly because I tried to be cool and dodge everything when I barely knew what was available to me, but eventually got through it by utilizing the shield alot more. Then, I found the first Black Knight and said to myself "Alrighty, this guy looks dangerous but should be easy, I made it through this entire level and I have 3 Estus left so I'm fine." I wasn't fine, I attempted to block his attack and got 1 shot from full HP. That put the thought in my head "This guy is gonna give me the good shit." So after practicing my parrying on a few normal enemies I challenged him again, died many times and started to learn his timings, eventually I beat him, after parrying 14 consecutive attacks. I obtained the Black Knight Shield, an item I have a love-hate relationship with now.

    Then, I reached the Taurus Demon, died once because I forgot about him. Then beat him easily, he was a pushover for me. Then I met Solaire, who I never met before because I never explored that way, I had only heard about his Sun Bro status. But for some reason, I never said yes in his dialogue.

    After that, I headed over to the bridge, died to the dragon multiple times and remembered I could shoot his tail off. Eventually, I obtain the Drake Sword. TI headed over to the Undead Parish, which was a very annoying area for me, but eventually learned the power move called "Oh fuck they hurt, run!" And proceeded into the church area itself, only to get ganked by 3 of the knights there. So, after hating myself for 5 minutes, I did the power move again, but opened the gate this time and died again. After running through the gate and slamming it, I took on the knights one by one, besting them all. Then, I came face to face with the Big Shield Knight Guy standing near the altar. So, after running up to him and running back outside for an open arena, I noticed the channeler upstairs and got spooked for what was to come. Once I got outside with him, my turtle game was strong with the Black Knight Shield and he stood no chance against my 200 damage per hit Drake Sword slapping him 10 times after he tried to hit me. Onwards to the blacksmith guy near the Sen's Fortress connector place! I run past the enemies and rest at the bonfire with around 50000 souls thinking "I'm rich as hell!" I proceed to walk down the stairs and look at how much the upgrade costs are for my current gear, and get spooked when I realize the Drake Sword isn't upgradeable currently, so I do the rational thing anyone else would do, upgrade a Winged Spear as far as I can and test the damages: The Winged Spear did less per hit but allowed me to turtle more effectively and used less stamina, big win, and dropped the drake sword unless I needed big damage 2 handed weapon, which I did for the Gargoyles.

    Speaking of the Gargoyles, that fight was hell for me; the only way I was able to beat it at that time was because I summoned 2 random guys to help me, and they were cool too, one of them was call Reih I think, and the other one wore the Dark Set. We spammed some emotes before walking in and we went ham, I got the Tail Axe and the fight was over in seconds. Which made me sad because I had lost my cool companions at the time. So after being sad for a bit, I headed up to first Bell of Awakening, and completely ignored the guy at the bottom of the tower; he was creepy as hell to me.

    Next, I headed to the Darkroot Basin and Garden, beat the Moonlight Butterfly which I thought was a pretty neat boss, and then got murdered by the Hydra, many times. Then, decided to come back later. After realizing I had a key to the Lower Undead Burg, I headed over there and went into the next area and unlocked the shortcut to the normal Undead Burg bonfire. I didn't have trouble with the assassins or the dogs, but almost had a heart attack with the Capra Demon, but only died once to him because I had an abundant amount of firebombs and decided to run to the opposite side of the room, throw one at him, and dodge away to the other side of the room and throw another. Rinse and repeat. Then, I got the key to the depths, I hated this part so much, but not as much as the next part. I headed down to the depths, and got to the bonfire, but kept getting cursed by those frog things (delete them please) causing me to have to run 4 bonfires away to get to the hollow lady who sells the anti-curse items (I bought like 4). Then I boned home, and uncursed myself. I ran down further and got to the gaping dragon, beat him on my 3rd or 4th try, nothing special really. Then, headed to Blighttown Fuck Blighttown Blighttown was so tedious that even thinking about it makes me want to rip my hair out, to the point where I refused to go there and started exploring random things. After roaming for a while, I found Mr. Crow/Raven's nest and was like "Holy shit! I can return to the Asylum!" So after roaming around grabbing items, I came across 2 Black Knights in total, this is where the hate part comes in about the shield, both of them dropped a Black Knight Shield. So, at this point in the game, I have 3 Black Knight Shields, I was kinda pissed and decided to leave after grabbing all of the items since I was too weak to fight the Stray Demon.

    I went back to Blighttown and went through it fairly easily even if it was annoying, and made it to the bonfire at ground level. Then, one of my friends in the discord said "Hey, summon me and I'll drop you some stuff, and help you with Quelaag." Most of the stuff I actually used was just some armor for my own version of Fashion Souls, even if it wasn't the best stuff at my disposal since I didn't want to use super good stuff since I didn't really earn it. I changed my weapon to a +5 Claymore since I liked how it looked with the armor and it wasn't super powerful. So we beat up Quelaag and he praised the sun before he faded back to his own game. I rang the second Bell of Awakening, and went to The Fair Lady, and since I started with the Old Witch's Ring, I was able to join a covenant with her. Great Chaos Fireball and that same friend carried me through the next part.

    Onwards to Sen's Fortress! I head on over to the blacksmith before Sen's and another one of my friends wanted to join as well. He joined and ended up giving me one of the coolest weapons that I could barely use because my playstyle wasn't really fond of it, Ricard's Rapier. I tried really hard to adapt my playstyle to it since it was really cool, but in the end it wasn't my style. So, he left after giving me some items and my other friend comes back, he doesn't give me any items this time, but I didn't believe him when he said "Magic is OP and I should try using some." So he decided to prove it to me, he joins and then I realized he's been playing a spellcaster this whole time. He proceeds to literally clear 3/4 of Sen's Fortress with me trying to keep up with him. Then, I was introduced to the legend.

    Black Iron Tarkus

    Before I went into the Iron Golem boss fight, I got screamed at by 3 friends in the discord, "WAIT, GO RIGHT, THIS BOSS FIGHT IS OPTIONAL. SUMMON HIM!!!" I said "Why? What do you mean optional? And summon who?" I was bombarded with "TARKUS! HE WILL LITERALLY BEAT THE BOSS FOR YOU!!" I didn't believe them "Bullshit, there is no way some normal dude in super heavy armor is gonna 1v1 that thing" They replied with "You're just some dude in heavy armor too, go summon him and see for yourself." I gave in, and what I witnessed was something I will never forget. As I walked through the fog gate they told me "Wait here, Tarkus will walk in and deal with him." I still was skeptical, but as I saw him walk up to it, slowly, with no fear; I started to understand... The Iron Golem slams down onto him, blocked easily by Tarkus and so he counters with a few quick strikes denting the Golems Health Bar. I was in awe, absolute shock, I started cheering for Tarkus, the guy who had the same type of playstyle as me, face tanks an Iron Golem with no issue. However, the Iron Golem started to learn, he grabbed Tarkus, and slammed him to the ground with as much force as it could muster, but it was no use, Tarkus was nearly unharmed. It seemed frustrated, as it proceeded to slam Tarkus 3 more times, but to no avail. Then, Tarkus pressed his advantage, slash after slash the Golem was being chunked for a 10th of his HP Bar. As the Golem tried it's best to get one more hit in before it's inevitable defeat, Tarkus denied him, kicking the Golem mid-swing, interrupting the attack, and slashing him with his sword one last time. The Golem was no more and Tarkus was fading, I waved goodbye to him and was super hyped with everyone in the discord server who was watching.

    Afterwards, I was taken to Anor Londo or as many call it "Anal Rodeo" and was awestruck by how great it looked, the only thing I knew about this area was Gwynevere and what happens if you hit her, since I saw it years ago at a friend's house. But, I proceeded onward, and got lost. For around 30 minutes I was stuck on the bridge until one of my friends called me a dumbass and I said "no fucking way you climb onto the rafters" and I felt extremely stupid, that friend also dropped me a Black Knight Halberd and some Titanite, making me feel better about getting 3 Black Knight Shields, I easily cleared the top of the painting room area and was sad to find out that Tarkus had met his end here. But I was even more determined to press forward because of that. Unknowingly, I had picked up the Peculiar Doll earlier in the game, and examined the painting, leading to one of my favorite areas in the game aesthetically.

    The Painted World of Ariamis was a very cool area that I didn't have much trouble in besides me falling off of random things alot and dying. But, when I got to Priscilla, I felt kind of bad, I don't think she knew about what happened to the other residents of the painting, I talked to her and left shortly after.

    Back in Anor Londo, I headed to the palace, and saw the two Silver Knights with the greatbows. "No problem" I said to myself, then easily dispatched the left one by accidentally kicking him off the edge, I was scared to roll on a thin ledge at the time, so when I tried to block a great arrow, the knockback wasn't based on where the arrow hits but instead based on which way my character is facing. Which caused me to get launched off the edge and start laughing so hard that I almost died. After a few more tries though, they weren't any trouble. Eventually I got invaded by a guy constantly switching armor and perfectly dodging and parrying everything I tried to throw at him, only going in when I tried to heal, at which point he would backstab me. Making me realize that I suck at Dark Souls. But I still wanted to keep playing, of course. Then, I made it to Ornstein and Smough, who I beat on my second try but was my favorite base game boss fight. Smough scared the hell out of me and I tried to keep them separated. After beating the duo, I went up to Gwynevere and obtained the Lord Vessel (woo!) and teleported back to Firelink. (Btw I beat up Gwyndolin at some point in there but he wasn't really anything special to me, just didn't expect the damage from his spells)

    Back at Firelink, I get jumpscared by Frampt, I actually almost pissed myself when I turned the corner and saw him, but realized he was pretty cool and hit warp, only to get vored by him and brought down to the Lord Vessel shrine area. Then I had some souls lying around so I headed to the blacksmith in the tower area of the Undead Parish to buy the "Crest of Artorias" and fought Sif, who didn't stand a chance but was really cool, and I felt bad because I really like wolves and dogs. At this point, my friends said to do the DLC stuff. I didn't know how to access it, and I got bullied so hard for not having done the Hydra yet, so after one shotting the heads, since I was so overleveled at this point due to being like 3 or 4 areas ahead of this boss, I was told to quit and reload.

    This leads into one of my favorite parts of Dark Souls 1, I head into the portal to do the DLC and I got confused, because alot of the enemies were different but I kind of expected it since it's DLC. But then, I get to Artorias, who I thought was long dead. So now I'm really confused, and I ask my friend about it and he explains it to me, "Artorias was corrupted by the Abyss, that's why you're fighting him, but 'he' didn't fulfill his task, someone else did." That made me more confused, so I replied "So Artorias is still alive then? Was all of it made up?" So he says "No, it already happened, Artorias has been dead for a long time." That's when I finally understood and the DLC became so cool to me. Artorias wasn't the one that the legends speak of, it was you, you traveled to the past, and defeated the corrupted Artorias, only to finish his original task. So, after defeating Artorias, I decided that I was going to use Artorias' Armor, the Abyss Greatsword, and Artorias' Greatshield for the rest of the DLC. So now, Artorias and Sif are my favorite characters in Dark Souls so far. I ventured through Oolacile and found Dark Bead (holy shit this carried me through so much) and the Silver Pendant. After getting lost I returned to where Artorias was and saw Ciaran, who's armor was cool, and I got pressured into crushing Artorias' soul in front of her and killing her, which is a dick move tbh but was kinda funny. But after that, I found Kalameet. Fucking Kalameet. 40+ tries, I enjoyed it, but fuck Kalameet. Then I found the younger Sif and helped her out, later finding out that Artorias used his shield to protect her from the abyss and also that he was left handed, so not only did I fight him when he had only 1 useful arm, but it was also his non-dominant arm. I can't believe he styled on me 5 times before I beat him. Then, I found Manus, who scared the hell out of me, and beat me up the first 3 times. Then, I turned human, summoned Sif and finished the DLC the way the legends told it so, Artorias and Sif defeated Manus and saved Oolacile.

    Then, back to the base game, I headed through the Catacombs and confronted Nito, who surprisingly, I beat on my first try, I used some Humanity which I like to call "Replacement Estus" when my flask ran dry and he wasn't really a match for 6 Dark Beads to the face and 3 hits from the Abyss Greatsword. Next, I went through New Londo and had some trouble with the Darkwraiths, but still made it to The Four Kings and beat them easily, even though a fifth one spawned for some reason. I beat Seath earlier in the playthrough and even farmed like 10 soul levels in the archive (going from SL97 to SL107). He was relatively easy, but the crystal caves almost made me lose my sanity, I fell so many times and that was the reason for me farming, I got so sick of falling that I thought I would just get my mind off of it. So, after that, I headed towards Lost Izalith, and beat The Bed of Chaos after getting confused about how I damage it for the first few times. Getting the last Lord Soul, so I headed towards the Lord Vessel and opened up the Kiln of the First Flame, one of the coolest places in the game. Then my friend mentioned Solaire being able to fight with you for the final boss, and then I remembered, I never said yes to Solaire originally. So I set out to follow Solaire's entire questline and felt really bad at the end, the poor guy couldn't find his sun. So I headed back to the Kiln and killed another Black Knight and proceeded to have an aneurysm because I GOT A FOURTH BLACK KNIGHT SHIELD, but it was instantly made better because I killed the next one and got the Black Knight Sword and got the Black Knight Armor Set from the dead body.

    After fully equipping the Black Knight Set and summoning Solaire, I headed into Gwyn's chamber, parried his ass and we killed him easily. Then I decided to link the flame, finishing my first full Dark Souls playthrough.

    That was alot to read, and I know most of you won't read it so I am gonna include a tl;dr at the end

    Overall Rating: 9.5/10 Worst Boss: Bed of Chaos Best Boss: Artorias Best Base Game Boss: Tied between Sif or Ornstein and Smough

    During my playthrough one of my friends gifted me the game so I didn't have to family share anymore and after I beat the game, the friend I was family sharing with gifted me Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and Dark Souls 3 Deluxe Edition, and I look forward to playing them as well!

    TL;DR Dark Souls 1 is a fucking near masterpiece and I am gonna go through the rest of the series soon!

    Defeating Ornstein and Smough at SL1 NG+2 With a Drawing Tablet

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 01:00 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, I decided to see how far I could push this. So figured 'hey lets get to ng+7 on a tablet', and for whatever reason OnS keeps being the go to fight to highlight my struggle as I push for ng+7.

    Volume warning at about 6 minutes.

    Link: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/703628394

    This took over 8 hours of figuring out new strategies for myself to beat them with a limited camera. During that time Ornstein did not want to behave in phase 1 so I wore some Armour. Ornstein has 1 attack which glitches out and lets him float across the arena alot. So after being killed several times by him flying across the screen, getting stuck, and flying randomly to the side I decided wearing enough Armour to block the hit would be ok. But after a bit that seemed like cheating, being allowed to take hits and fast roll at the same time. So I purposely wore heavier stuff to push me into a mid roll to counter act being allowed to take a hit.

    Added restrictions: No buffs, no pyromancy, no red tearstone ring, no using the menu during the fight

    Online without ps plus?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 02:28 AM PDT

    Today I loaded up dark souls remastered and the usual ps plus pop up didn't appear. It said I was online and made me go through the privacy policy and user agreements. My game was somehow online. I saw messages and stuff all over the floor and bloodstains. I tried to invade another world but it didn't work.

    I then loaded up DS3 to see if it still worked and for some reason DS3 was online too. I actually managed to get an invasion as Aldrich faithful too. I've looked on my ps profile and I don't see ps plus anywhere. I removed my payment options too so I knew that I wasn't paying for ps plus somehow.

    Well at least I can try fight these Anor Londo gankers

    Is anyone else annoyed when people say dark souls isnt even that hard as a bad thing

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 10:10 AM PDT

    I never once thought of dark souls as hard as people say and all of my deaths were my fault most of the time(boc can go fck itself). But it really annoys me when people say that its not that hard after beating it and dying a few times to each boss. It makes it seem difficulty is the only thing that matters in this game when its so much more..

    After nearly ten years of playing I just discovered that Evil Vagrants have a soulmass attack

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:33 AM PDT

    As the title says, I've been playing "Dark Souls" off and on for hundreds of hours since it first released, and while there are still many things that surprise me to this day, I had never witnessed an Evil Vagrant use their Soulmass attack and didn't even know they could do such a thing. I can't say I have a lot of experiences with them but I'd encountered enough over the years that I thought they were mostly harmless.

    I was making my way from the Undead Parish to the hidden bonfire in the Darkroot Basin when I suddenly started getting destroyed by a Soulmass attack. My first reaction was that I'd been invaded and simply hadn't been paying attention but then I realized I was still hollowed. My next thought was that perhaps it was the Moonlight Butterfly attacking me for whatever reason (something I would LOVE to see happen) but after running away to guzzle a couple of Estus Flasks I returned only to find nothing there. Puzzled, I ran to a bonfire and did everything I did before but nothing happened, and so I waited. I had to set the controller down for a minute to answer my phone, and coming back into the room I hear a Soulmass and my character screaming. Life is funny sometimes.

    I spent the next twenty minutes trying to replicate this, thinking perhaps I'd found a glitch or secret I wasn't aware of, but after a few Google searches I discovered something I never knew and thought I'd share it here. It goes to show that even after nearly a decade of playing there's still things to discover in these games, and this is hands down one of the coolest moments I've experienced while playing "Dark Souls". It's not often a mystery like this pops up in a game, especially one that I've played so much and for so long.

    God bless, and have a wonderful day :)

    How do I have fun?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:28 AM PDT

    So during quarantine I got Ds3 as a joke and I absolutely loved it and beat it three times already. I also played Sekiro and loved it even more. So I got myself Ds Remastered. I started playing and actually enjoyed it quite a bit until blighttown. I played through it, beat Quelaag and got to Anor londo. Bosses I really enjoyed so far were Ornstein and Smough and Sif. But now I lost the motivation to play, even though I think I'm almost through. I beat Nito after I stopped playing for a month because I got ultra salty in the tomb of giants. Now I have the choice to either go to new londo or Lost izalith and I hate both of them. I think I will play through it eventually, but for now are there any tipps or ways to make my experience better?

    Feel challenged to play Dark Souls Remastered, should I?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 03:05 AM PDT

    I just finished Sekiro for the first time. To be honest, was frustrated, but felt so happy and proud to finally finish it and feel challenged as well to play DS Remastered.

    People in Sekiro subs keep saying that DS games have totally different mechanics than Sekiro (ofc duh lol) when people played DS games asked about Sekiro. Sekiro has block and parrying though and DS does not have that mechanic. So what is DS gameplay? Hack and slash and dodging only? How about the healing mechanics?

    Since I am a veteran in Monster Hunter World, people in that subs also ever mentioned there are i-frames to avoid enemies' attacks in DS (there are these too in MHW) but it is very little i-frames, is it advisable to do it in DS?

    Hopefully this post does not violate this sub's rule as I am totally curious with DS games.

    Note: LOL sorry my old brain recalled wrongly then. DS has block and parry too as mentioned by people below 😆

    Theory

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:09 AM PDT

    Part of this was from a recent answer to a post about what was beyond the clouds in the Undead Burg:

    "It could be the Boletarian Palace hundreds of years after Demon's Souls took place, and all of the knights have come in contact with the Darksign and have gone completely hollow. That would explain why the enemies in the parish and undead burg have (for the hollow knights its much more visible) nearly identical movesets to their counterparts in Boletarian Palace."

    And after saying that I've been wondering... Could the Undead Burg just be an (even further) deteriorated Boletarian Palace? What if the fog you stopped so many years ago... all that work you did.. eventually took over? what if we all had to hide above the "clouds" to survive? The people that didn't make it are down below, either in hell or as skeletons, and the ones left above could be the few that lived but were branded with the accursed Darksign. I've got my theory gears turning, and I really think this could be it! What are your thoughts, guys?

    Question about the demon firesage, and Quellags domain

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 11:25 PM PDT

    Hello there, so, I've beaten the four kings (thank you chucktorias) and set my sights on the bed of chaos next, which I hear you have to go through quellags domain to reach. I get there, kill the ceaseless discharge fairly easy, and the lava drains. I walk around a bit to find that this is a pretty bare and linear are and the only thing I really need to do is kill the firesage. Wierd thing is, I do an acceptable amount of damage to the demon, but he absolutely shatters my health bar the minute I enter the arena. Everytime he immediately does the jump axe smash which I just cant dodge, then he does the red glow explode thing and im dead! I'm at soul level 50 or 60, I'm not playing so I dont know exactly, I'm also using a plus 12 claymore. Should I try Nito or Seath first and come back later? Or is the firesage meant to deal this much damage?

    What are some good weapons for going into multiple NG’s?

    I'm just about finished with my second run through the game on NG+, mostly using a +15 Zweihander, which worked for most of the fights in the game. With each boss, though, I've been seeing a large increase in health and damage output, and I feel like the weapons I use will eventually become ineffective against the harder bosses in the game, and the weapon's speed is also hurting performance. My stats are as follows:

    46 VIT

    12 ATT

    50 END

    40 STR

    32 DEX

    11 RES

    18 INT

    19 FAI

    I mostly looking for a weapon with good damage output and manageable attack speed, but something leaning more towards one or the other would still work.

    Favorite weapon in all of the Souls series?!

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 02:45 PM PDT

    So during the pandemic I have had a disgusting amount of time to play through all of Dark Souls games (for the 1000th time). The weapon I always find myself coming back to is the Lothric Knight Greatsword. A good close second would be Zweihander because it is the almighty pancake machine. Every single boss in DS3 to my knowledge was a massive pain in the balls, but I decided to try out infusing the LKGS with a blessed gem and man was it great. I'd say the best boss to use it on was Abyss Watchers. I literally stun locked them with charged R2's without even taking damage on NG+7. What is your favorite cheese weapon, or just any weapon that has carried you throughout the series, or just any weapon you feel like is your soulmate?

    Dark Souls Remastered running in slow motion

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 07:32 PM PDT

    I know this is a relatively common problem with the remastered version, also my computer is a potato, but the game has been working perfectly up until the other night. I've tried messing around with the settings, but the best I can get is like 80% speed when I change the resolution to 800x600. Does anyone know a fix for this problem? It's honestly more frustrating than game itself! Also if anyone has any advice, please put it simply, I'm incredibly stupid when it comes to computers.
