Dark Souls II SOTFS - Auto Permadeath Mod by VD

Description

You die in the game, your save dies in real life.

Think you’ve mastered Dark Souls II? Prove it. This mod takes “Prepare to Die” to the ultimate level: one life, one save, zero second chances. The moment you fail and the screen fades to red, the game instantly terminates and your save file is permanently wiped.

Powered by advanced, non-intrusive screen detection (OpenCV template matching) to prevent false positives, it is 100% safe from softbans. Built-in profile management automatically parks your original characters in a safe zone, restoring them when you close the mod.

Play offline, protect your main saves, and face the ultimate test of survival in Drangleic. How far can you go before your save is claimed forever?

Main features

[] Safe Profile Management & Swapping: No need to worry about losing your main characters. The mod safely parks your original saves in an isolated folder (

profiles/main_characters.sl2) and automatically restores them as soon as you close the mod.[/]

[] Correlation-Based Detection (Template Matching): The system analyzes the central portion of the screen to search for the exact shape of the "YOU DIED" / "SEI MORTO" screen. This prevents false positives during menus, loading screens, or startup EULAs.[/]

[] Auto-Backup on Close: Automatically creates a timestamped backup of your active save file every time you close the mod.[/]

[] Startup Self-Healing: If your PC crashes or shuts down while the mod is active, it will automatically detect this and restore your main characters upon the next startup.[/]
