Any way to "downgrade" to the previous patch?
I wouldn't call it a downgrade since the game was playable before today's patch.
I don't really care if it disables online since the lag is terrible.

Bump. If I have the stutter I want to be able to downgrade too.
I'd also like to know. I assume multiplayer functions will be disabled then, but w/e. If the game runs without freezes again it will be totally worth it.

Please someone fix this, I took the weekend off DS3 convinced my mates to start playing their xbox one versions and came home ready to smash some more out, oh it needs an update? Okay. Now the games ******* unplayable. No option to downgrade? No fix yet touted? has From Software even responded yet? I don't even play online which the fix was for and its ruined the game. Before it ran better than both the ps4 and xbox one versions (on my computer, in comparison to friends copies).

So it wasn't just me then? From Soft is really dropping the ball with the support of this game.

bump, we need a way to do this.

Yeah this happened after the patch. I noticed it and was like wtf why do i get stutter now when i had none before? turns out its something about the anti cheating they implemented.

Apparently they are aware but nothing has been done yet, with our luck we will get patch is working as intended.

Check this out, there are pre-patch files available that revert the changes made during this last patch. It fixes the issue apparently.

I haven't tested it myself yet, but maybe someone has the time. I'm at work right now, unfortunately, or I already would have tried it.

Check the bottom the post for the files and info on how they revert the changes and fix the freezes.

They only way they will address this is by you giving the game negative feed back. Do it now, and do it quick. The more people who post negative feed back, the more quickly they will fix this. By negative feed back i mean NEGATIVE RATING + negative forum posts.

If you don't give them a negative rating, they may never fix it.

They'll fix it, it's a pretty big problem.

Hahahahahahahahahha.....................................No

From don't fix anything performance-wise. All they've done is tweak weapon stats and bugs that affect the consoles too.

Pc specific stuff NEVER gets fixed.

The stutter you guys are mentioning comes and goes with each patch. At launch it was isolated to auto saving, then at 1.03 it affected framepacing and created mini freezes and frameskipping.

Since then its been a russian roulette as to where and when they happen. The Ithryll dungeon is terrible for them.

Posts like this get buried pretty quickly on these forums since in the eyes of the fanboys, from can do no wrong.

Try discussing poise instead: its all they care about.

And an awful framepacer that makes the fps look under 30 in the rare instances its able to maintain it. Fromsoft insist on jamming in particle effects that their target hardware cannot handle. Remember Seath the scaleless and blight town in ds1? 15fps ftw!

I've never played a ds game on console, but I know on pc that From's track record is beyond awful. The game runs like ♥♥♥♥, stutters, has broken netcode, and what do they do? Tweak weapon stats...

It's called glorious nip-coding. Almost every game made in nippon tends to have terrible performance or in general is just ugh, cause they can't code for ♥♥♥♥. I mean, just take a long hard look at the DS games. The heck is this multiplayer? Awful to non optimization, at times really dumb and or old ass mechanics (jumping in DS case, just, wew).

I still enjoyed ds2 and 3, but I refuse to play 1, cause oh lord is it garbage, even with the fanmade patch. Not story-wise mind you, just awful performance that makes it unplayable for me.
