30 vs 60 FPS?

[DrDeath_MD]

I played the first 15 or so hours at 30 FPS because I had significant issues getting the game to run. Then I installed DSFix to try and get the game to run at 60 which it does just fine. However, I was horrible at 60 FPS. My timing and parrying were off and I had to go back to 30 FPS. I am normally a frame rate ♥♥♥♥♥ but I just couldn't do 60 in this.

Am I alone.

30 FPS of course.

The game was never intended to be played at 60 FPS (console port and all that) so bugs and imperfections are to be expected just as dsfix describes.

Yes you are alone. Unlocking the framerate makes the game feel soooo much smoother. Even if you are not getting 60. I havent noticed any diferrence in parry timing this isnt Dark Souls 2.

60 fps is bannable by gfwl.

So is hacking, technically.
As for your situation, I just can't play Dark Souls at 30 fps. I tried it on Dark Souls II, but christ....never.

I say just unlock the framerate (disables V-Sync, which can be good as having it on can induce performance issues) and keep the cap at 30.


Stable and consistent.

Your character weights more at 60 fps than 30. He doesn't jump or roll as far. A mid roll at 30 FPS is a longer distance than a mid roll at 60 fps.

Also, I *believe* timing issues occur in a PVP battle if two players are at different FPS. Like if you are at 60 FPS, you have about half the amount of time in terms of a parrying window when he strikes you. When you strike him, he has a bigger window for a parry to connect because the game animation is running at half the frames.
