Bandai Namco has released a new patch for Dark Souls Remastered which fixes a number of bugs and also shores up the game’s anti-cheat measures. As of this writing, the patch is now live for all platforms (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC).
For the most part, the new patch just fixes a few graphics and gameplay bugs that could potentially lead to some wonky game behavior, though it does also “improve the security” against those who would try to utilize cheats during online multiplayer sessions. There are also a few platform-specific fixes that have been outlined below along with the more generalized patch notes.
General Fixes
- Fixed a bug in which The Four Kings are not displayed properly in The Abyss.
- Fixed a bug in which the ending comes up in Kiln of the first flame without defeating the boss when you do specific moves before the boss area.
- Fixed a bug in which player’s clear data is erroneous when the application is finished on specific conditions after defeating Gwyn, Lord of Cinder.
- Fixed a bug in which messages are not displayed to other players on asynchronous online.
- Fixed a bug in which session matching stops during online mode when the player fails to join the session where blocked players are playing.
- Fixed a bug in which the number of Estus Flask possessions is not displayed properly when you return by Black Separation Crystal.
- Improved the security against cheating during online multiplayer.
PS4/PC
