Gamers gate is taking pre orders for Dark Souls - prepare to die edition at $39.95. It's very nice that they aren't charging $60 for this game. Does it make up for the almost certain bad console port? Who knows. I'm still looking forward to this game though, it's just a shame that it comes out on August 24th, one day before GW2's head start.

Dark Souls is out for the pc and there are already people hard at work fixing things for the port:

If you're getting the pc version this is worth checking out. Makes you wonder if just a single dedicated fan can do this in less than 24 hours after the game is released how come the devs couldn't do it themselves in the months since they announced the pc version?

Whatever the case mods are what make pc gaming great and I can't wait to play this game in the next week or two after I get my GW2 fix out of the way.

When I had my 360 I enjoyed the game, almost bought it for PS3 but then heard about the PC version. All the subsequent stories of the bad port killed it for me though. Hopefully, like you say trag3dy, the modders can really make the game what it should be on PC. I just might get it.

Did you get the game already?

Yes it is a quick/bad port but it works.

I am glad they actually listened to fans and released it for PC (with new content). Right from the start From Software have said they don't have much experience with PC development and are struggling. So it was expected that the port wasn't going to be great. I am just hoping a lot of people still buy the game because you have to give them credit for having a go and listening to fans. A lot of publishers don't do that.

Also if people buy the game, it might make them invest more in PC development for future games. I'd love an Armoured Core on the PC.

Glad the mod cleans up the screen a bit but the game is still perfectly playable without. I'd rather have this as it is on the PC than no Dark Souls on the PC.

I am getting annoyed with people invading my game. I was in the depths and quite far in, had loads of humanity, lots of souls. Some guy came in and killed me. So i had to get back down there to retrieve it. Nearly there and i got cursed (no humanity) and died! So i lost all my original souls/humanity!

I know the game is supposed to be hard but i wish i could switch off people invading my game. I don't want to have to block the game with my firewall, just to stop it going online.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
