For you to know, GFWL in this game is not THAT bad. In fact, thanks to it, my friend who had to delete his whole computer got his savegame back.

Problem with GFWL is that it has it's own region locks different (and usually more limited) from Steam. Guess that prevented/prevents a number of people from getting this game...

I don't really mind that much GFWL, the thing is most games with it are not available in my region.

GFWL was awesome for this game! I will miss the hate mail from other players. God I wish steam had a mail system.

Yea, well, good luck with that. Those Japanese developers have some draconian region lock schemes even without GFWL.

GFWL was pretty much the only reason I didn't buy the game yet. Might grab it on the next sale.

Well, it's not like it worked all that well in DS2 before it was removed.

Can you explain ? What was wrong ?

Just going by what I recall from the forums, but cheaters were still rampant and VAC bans for them were few.

People with VAC ban from any other game could not play Dark Souls 2 online so they had to disable VAC protections.

How is that wrong ? That's the very principle of VAC : cheaters are punished and isolated.

Very often VAC confuses programs like GeDoSaTo for hacks, and causes players who are just trying to make the game work correctly get VAC banned for no reason.

it was removed for DS2?? so you mean i could have used GeDoSaTo for nicer graphics all the time without being afraid of a VAC ban? oh well... ^^

I heard there were cases of people getting VAC bans for using GeDoSaTo, and pparently you can still get softbanned, so... I really hope that if they're gonna add VAC to DS1, we'll still be able to use DSFix.

Getting softbanned for GeDoSaTo is a myth. Every thread there is describes using GeDoSaTo + something that actually targets you for softban.

I've been waiting for this for a long time.
But this part bugs me a bit "the transferal of save data and achievements will be possible for a limited time only."

I have completed everything and got all achievements on GFWL. I hope all the achievements won't unlock at once.
Either way, Steamworks gives an incentive to play the game again after so long.

You can still use SAM afterwards to remove all your achievements and start anew.

Since I was going to start anew anyways, I wonder if deleting the save would work or are the achievements tied to GFWL?

Just like in Steam, saves and achievements are separate things. Save files are... files, stored on your computer (and sometimes in a dedicated cloud storage space), while achievements are just an information tied to your account.

I assume the migration of saves and achievements won't be automatic, there will be something to do... Just don't do whatever needs to be done and achievements and saves won't move to Steam.

Even if they migrate without needing actions from the player, you can delete said saves and/or remove achievements using SAM.

Thank you David for taking the time to write this.
I'll be sure to take the necessary precautions.

Since you may also play this game, good luck hunting souls.

I can admit this is one (and only) good thing about GFWL. Too bad I only got one hate mail.

I remember getting one enraged player sending angry messages. He left a red summon sign at the bonfire to S&O and he was summoned by some guy I was helping as white phantom. Told me I shouldn't have summoned him if we were going to gang up, which isn't even something you can do as white phantom >.>
