Can't see bloodstains and orange soapstone messages.

On my new character I haven't been able to see anything on invade, but my old character from 4 months ago can see stuff and invade. Is there something going on with new characters?

Same here, played 3 hours today, no bloodstains, no messages and certainly no summon signs.

Ah really? I tried to see if it was a ng thing and got to ng+, still nothing. I wonder whats up.

Having the exact same problem. Anything online related just seems to have vanished from my game ever since I restarted, so no bloodstains/summon signs/invasions. Want to fix this, because online play is a pretty significant aspect of Dark Souls that I'd like to enjoy.

same here.. hm.. no fixes so far?

Changed my Steam download region to Europe - LAN. Solved it.

Restart steam, change your DL region, or wait if you're really patient.

Install PVP Watchdog to see the number of connected nodes.

If it's still 0 after 5 minutes, move to a different in-game area and completely exit Dark Souls.

When you restart the game, it will get a list of potential players to connect to based on your first load.

Waiting much more than 5 minutes for that first node is going to have a much lower chance of success.
