📋 About This Mod

Update: The mod has been updated to work with the latest version of the game now (1. 03. 1). Note that this version of the menu will NOT work with earlier game versions. Check the changelog for a more detailed list of additional changes.

This mod restores the debug menu for Dark Souls: Remastered and includes some additional debug enhancements to make modding the game more pleasant:

  • []Debug output console (LUA/ESD)

    []Rudimentary keyboard support for the menus

    []Attaching debuggers without crashing

    []Debug Dash movement (Fast speed, Noclip, No gravity)

    []Debug config (game.properties)

    []Debug Camera (FreeCam), coming with a number of different modes

  • Logo Skips

    How to Install

    First, grab the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from here and install it: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

    You might already have it installed, it's just to make sure you can run the mod.

    Drop game.properties, debug.ini and dinput8.dll from the archive into the game's folder. To deactivate the mod, remove or rename the dinput8.dll.

    If you're already using a dinput8 mod and want to use it together with the debug menu,

    you can rename the other mod's dll, open debug.ini and enter its name behind dinput8DllWrapper between the "" (Example: dinput8DllWrapper = "mcdoodoo.dll")

    How to Use

    I recommend disabling TAA in the game's options, because it doesn't work too well with some of the debug draw.

    The console can be toggled via the option in debug.ini. The other options were moved to game.properties.
