Seamless co-operative play

Simply put, the mod allows you to play with friends throughout the entirety of the game with no restrictions. With this, it's theoretically possible to play the game from the tutorial up to the final boss completely in one co-op session.

• []If a player dies, they will respawn in the same world at the last bonfire they rested at. The session will not be terminated.[/]

  []Defeating enemy bosses and clearing areas no longer sends co-operators home.[/]

  []All fog walls/barriers that usually restrict the multiplayer zone are gone.[/]

  []All NPC dialogue and talk events will be synchronised[/]

  []When one player rests at a bonfire the world state will reset for all players[/]

  []Game progression events completed in online play will also progress the game in your own world.[/]

  []You can play with 5 other players in the open world.[/]

  []An overhaul to Dark Souls II's peer-to-peer connection system, using Steam's newer networking API[/]

    Quality of Life Improvements

    Along with core function of this mod, there are a number of quality of life improvements that you might like:

    • []A streamlined connection system means that co-operators can join the host from anywhere in the world. So even if you do disconnect, you can very quickly re-join and continue where you left off.[/]

      In addition to this, you will find some other game adjustments:

      • []Allowing the user to set the volume of the title menu[/]

        []Fixing the "Disable double clicking" option not working correctly for keyboard and mouse players[/]

        []Re-addition of the server timed-exclusive cosmetic items from the original Dark Souls II[/]

        []Conversion of the controller deadzone area to a radial deadzone[/]

        []Allowing the user to skip the ending credits once the game is complete (normally unskippable in NG, lasts about 9 minutes)[/]

        []Option for borderless fullscreen mode[/]
