Can't see any messages on the ground

[Demtayy]

Hey guys,

I'm relatively new to Dark Souls, played almost for 40 hours now though and I didn't have any issues up until a couple of hours ago.

I can't see any messages by other players on the ground for quite some time now.
Blood stains, the ghosts of other players are visible though; summoning and other online features work perfectly fine, but messages are nowhere to be seen, which is irritating,
I checked multiple locations over a longer period of time, typical spots where usually there are messages are empty.

It is possible for me to write my own messages though...

Did I accidently deactivate it somehow? Does anyone else have that problem or am I just missing something?

Same thing here, no messages today.
Also, there is an option missing in network settings, join ranked or something like that.
It was there yesterday, seems they are messing with servers, possibly another patch incoming?

Dk.
The most interesting is that the support of BAMCO does not know anything about this and they do not look at the Steam forum. I wrote them to the mail and they were very surprised lol

Is Bandai even responsible for patching the game? I thought that was up to the developer of the remaster.

I do not know who is responsible for what, I wrote to them in support and send some links (steam/reddit).
"
Thank you for the report and the links. We're forwarding them to the devs for investigation." - that's what they answered me.

Thanks for doing the legwork. Hope we see an update soon.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for doing that, maybe it'll help.

Pssst: Don't tell it anybody. But they got invaded there by an egghead cheater. And if we don't send them a few Egg Vermifuges, they won't be able to use their brain and work on a patch.

Have you tryed password matchmaking? One of you probably upgraded a weapon and went out of summoning range.

Thats DS3. DS1 doesnt have weapon/item levels in the summoning range formula. Aka, you can upgrade to a +15 weapon and invade a lowbie in Undead burg if you are close to his/her level.

Yes it does, they implemented weapon tiers, its even on wiki.

I stand corrected. I just checked the wiki, you are right.
It doesnt mention anything about invasions though... hmmm....
Edit : im pretty sure though, something bypasses that, if its true. I was getting loads of summons on my friendly character helping people kill havel and taurus demon. I had my Black Knight Sword +2 and would get summoned by people who i highly doubt they had +5 or more (considering they are still in first boss area). Taken from the wiki :
Player A with +5 regular weapon can summon Player B if they have an +2 unique weapon (+9 regular weapon). Also their damage was feeble and +0/+1 tops. Backstabs on Havel for 30ish damage etc.
According to the Wiki that player should have at least a +5 regular weapon. My character was a fresh warrior with points only in str and dex, enough to wield a BKS (20 str and 18 dex, so he was lvl 18 i think).

Yup. Not seeing orange messages either. Very frustrating since I forgot where a lot of the illusory walls were lol.

[Alucard]

Same here.... Everything is OK except the messages but for some weird reason, only happens with characters that I made after the recently patch.
