Not confirmed: Dark Souls 3 PC framerate to be locked at 30 fps?

He's the one that created DSFix.
It made like one latter act weird in DS1 and it was an issue easily avoided.

Mega pass if true.
Yes, but he isn't the one that unlocked the framerate. He even mentions that in his blog (mad respect to both him and Nkws).
Setting up the ritual altar was the very first thing I did as soon as I read "Dark Souls 3 announced".
Only after that did I click on the thread.
Gonna use it as soon as it is needed

That does not make sense as I am pretty sure there are some small sequences in parts of the released Gamersyde trailer that run @ 60fps.
I call FUD.

Good thing it'll be a freely modifiable Win32 program and not a "secure" Universal App I guess
Yeah, when did people quit using the proper term for this? It's only "locked" when it doesn't waver above or below the set frame rate. Otherwise it's "capped."
In any case, and with all due respect to the support staff, I don't think they're qualified to talk about frame rate caps on the PC version at this time. For that reason, I'm still not worried at all.
Because they have a surface level understanding of Durante's fix, and are trying to sound smart.

He sure is. DSFix unlocks the framerate to 60.

In page 1 I linked to a trailer showing radically different graphics than what we got in Souls 2, only thing we did actually get was 60fps.
It's not exactly hard to release a trailer at 60fps either.

notto disu shitto agen.
you'd think bamco would get everyone on the same page for this release considering the series' past on PC.

Why would they do that when DS2 was 60fps? aside of the weapon thing the port was fantastic.

I feel like FUD could use some rebranding. There's an element of 'outrage' that should fit in there somewhere.

People would have said the same about Arkham Knight. Would you have thought that after the first three titles, AK would be the way it was? And capped too, if I might add?

Calm down vince. That was a different thing.
Downgrading the game's internal lighting and shadowing rendering =/ arbitrarily locking the game @ 30 fps when its prequel did not.

What goes through the mind of a publisher/developer when they consider locking the FPS on PC ?

aren't all the supposed 60fps trailers just 30fps anyway
I'm going to assume that we're having issues with the terms 'locked' and 'capped' again.
Assuming they meant the former although, again, low lever support people are not the best to ask about this.
After the stellar improvements made from DkS1 to DkS2 on PC, I'd be shocked that Bamco don't realise that 60FPS is a standard option. They clearly showed they care and I doubt they'd revert things here.

From DSfix 1.6 release notes, the version which first featured the ability to unlock the framerate.
"Option to unlock the framerate. Thanks to the hard work of Clément Barnier, the framerate can now be unlocked completely."
Not going to try and say that Durante didn't play a major role in it, but there were other people who played a pivotal role in it as well.

It's not necessarily arbitrary if the game's logic is tied to frame rate as it has been in the past.
I don't see it as a different thing at all, only one of their games has ever been 60fps and that was on a different engine by a "B team".

Ctrl+F "Durante," yup 
But still, that reply is from an online support team member, she likely doesn't know anything.
Off topic- I am naming my STR/FTH character Durante and will be the bestest Sunbro.

I couldn't care less about weapons breaking faster. It sucked but oh well I repaired more often. 60fps is so worth it.
What does this even mean? We are talking about a PC game. They just flip the switch and let people's hardware dictate the frames they get. Locking it to 30fps is just being a shitty developer for no reason.

Once again, Souls 1 was locked to 30 and unlocking it can have consequences with the actual game because they tie things to the frame rate.
Welp I take back what I said then.

If BB was on PC it would be 60fps.
Knowing a max framerate can simplify a lot of programming, especially with regards to physics. It also reduces the animation size.
Gameplay is based on framerate (30fps or so in this regard). IIRC turning on 60fps in DS1 sped up the game's logic by double.
yet for some reason I never had an issue with 60fps, nice bullshit =D
if yall really couldn't make it back to the tutorial level in 60fps, git gud at jumping nubs
You should change your name to 30 amirite
It didn't. It broke a few small things but if it doubled the game's logic it would've been like playing in fast forward.
