How buggy is this atm?

[vonbleak]

Hi guys - i am seriously considering getting this but i have been burned a few times recently on new games that are full of bugs and need a few patches.

So yeah how is the game in terms of stability and bugs/issues? Should i wait until its had a couple of patches or is it all good to jump in now...?

I am also kinda new to 'souls' games as i have only played The Surge (and liked it) - So wish me luck :P

Very few bugs actually, it's the most stable AAA game release I've seen in quite some time

I experienced no bugs in my 80 or so hours to date, and most people also are not. A small handful of players have experienced bugs, but it's extremely unlikely to affect you.

If worries about stability are your worry, then don't worry!

I want to warn you though - this game is difficult. It is frustrating. You will die a "lot," even if you're good at this kind of game, in the process of learning how to play and mastering fighting certain enemies or bosses and the like. If dying in a game like this is seen as a lesson to improve and enjoy the final victory, and you want a game with really awesome combat and a great sense of accomplishment when you finally pull off wins, then this is for you.

With the exception of the fact that Dark Souls 3 did not work at launch for anyone using an HDMI cable and playing from a tv rather than a monitor, but they did fix that the monday after the game came out so I forgave them :)

No in-game bugs, but if your computer crashes while you're playing, the save will become corrupted. Make backups after every boss. Other than that, everything is solid.

The game ran flawlessly for me, but from what I understand there are some people who have had issues with stutter on certain systems. I would say that if you are unsure then your best bet is to treat the 2 hour refund window as a demo to see if the game runs well on your PC.

The game does have some wonky issues that you may or may not experience depending on your setup. For example, the game is capped at 20 FPS if i run it on my non-HDR display.

I fixed that a week ago:

I agree with this. There's some stuff like controllers that might require an additional step to get working well (turning of the gyro for example) or no widescreen support (there's already fixes for that iirc) but other then that the game runs very well in my experience.

I haven't found any bugs while playing the game itself (and I have beaten it), but there is some problems with HDR at the moment. It seems to get HDR working you have to alt-tab out of the game, and then alt-tab back in. Aside from that, nothing else.

not as polished as dmc5 i think, but i had no issue beside a slightly annoying camera on occasion as is common in from software games. I dont remember seeing any bugs in the game either (except the ones you deal with using the mortal blade ;) )

the only bug is that you can ledge drop and keep pecking at an enemy's leg until it dies :3 other than that i never experienced any bugs. If it helps, dont consume the dragon blood droplet used to cure dragon root.
