Dark Souls II Message Board  

As for the first part of what you said last time I checked if you proof of purchase you can download it because you dont pay for the data you pay for a license to own the games data and as for "you not only download the game but share it as well" thats just plain wrong because you can choose not to upload the data/seed it.

I'm not sure if any one has mentioned it specifically, but Dark Souls 2 uses VAC. If you have any previous VAC bans on record, you cannot even go online.

There is no actual ingame option to go offline. You will need to disconnect your internet connection then launch the game for it to force you offline.

Now, I do not know if it still has the VAC protection while playing offline.But apparently if you do re-enable your internet connection while playing (even if playing 'offline') and go back to the main menu, it will auto reconnect you so you are online. So you may want to be extra careful when using the trainer.

It's a shame there's no actual offline option ingame. I would far rather the play it that way.

Sorry, but where did you read that Dark Souls 2 uses VAC? Usually the Steam store tells if you a game is using VAC. Sorry, but this is bull**** what you're telling us.

"There is no actual ingame option to go offline. You will need to disconnect your internet connection then launch the game for it to force you offline."

I could not connect to the DS2 servers and and gave me a screen with try again or play offline so I am playing in Offline Mode right now even says in it the top corner of my main menu I have also ran it with steam being in offline mode and the same thing happens it says try to connect again or play in offline mode so I hit play in offline mode and thats what I am doing now

Read the Steam community forums. There's a fair few threads on it. It may not be on the store page, but the majority of people reporting that they cannot go online are all VAC banned (which you can see by looking at their profiles).

@FIratha Maybe they patched the option in for the US version. I have the JP one and I can assure you, there was no such option when it released last night (note that the game released for us 7 hours before the rest of the world). Or, you may have been playing when they had the DS2 server offline for maintenance.

Then shutdown the trainer
and set my steam online then play DS2

Right al just point out. If anyone is using the trainer in the MP/invasion part of the game you are breaking all the rules. Plus the trainers here are not for that! If you say you do then. I have say you do not deserve to have access to trainers then.

Cheat the game do not cheat other players.


Also as to VAC protected games. There is not mention of it being inclueded. It could be possible that they are using a list of VAC banned players and not allowing the to access. But if it is using VAC it should have been labeled in the store and in game somewhere.



Oh and esteysa. I dont know if that will get your banned. But if some one reports you because its high stats. You might.

I read some steam discussion. Aperantly there is a server problem. Some VAC banned players can play DS2. Also VAC ban is per game specific ban
