seamless coop

[VALORHEART]

How is the mod working? is anybody using the mod? does it bring performance issue? I found the vanila coop system very frustrating and looked up for the seamless mod, im unsure if its worth getting? is there enough random people to join and play together with the seamless mod?

The mod runs moderately well, and since it doesn't use EAC the general performance is usually better tech wise. It's not designed to play with random strangers, as they will be connecting directly to your computer P2P without any security. There are communities outside of Steam who organise Seamless Co-op runs with players. Worth doing research to find one you trust.

There are also plenty of youtube videos to show you what the experience is like, and what QoL changes it brings.

Of course! The mod just redirects you from the official, secure matchmaking servers to un-secured servers in someone's basement, who's password is almost definitely "admin". Totes safe!

Yeah seamless works off of the same principles of DSCM, it's safe man. I don't have any interest whatsoever in using it and it sucks that the impacts Seamless has on PvP were not considered with much regard.

The old DS1 community kinda fought to convince Wulf(hence my name lol) and each other that it needed to just work for all parties that wanted connectivity. It plugs-in or attaches to the game and beats as a second heart, without any preferential bias to PvE or PvP. Wulf could have designed it to scorn us all, but he didn't and I still appreciate him for that.

In other words, Seamless Mod is not so seamless for the overlap of PvE and PvP-centric players, and does not preserve the integrity of game mechanics.

You can blame From for that by disallowing ANY kind of modding on official
