[Update] Dark Souls 2: Seamless Co-op - Starting development
Hiya,
Just to reassure everyone that I am hard at work with the seamless co-op mod for Dark Souls 2.
As I've mentioned before, an overwhleming amount of the work has been reverse engineering stuff (and trawling through lots of x86 assembly) to understand how the game works. Once I had familiarised myself with it, getting sessions to work without the matchmaking server being involved was the next step.
After I had accomplished that, I posted the announcement post on Patreon to get an idea on whether it was something that the community at large wanted.
Now, the mod is in mid-stage development. I have a playable form of seamless co-op working without a lot of the features common to the mods (e.g. shared progress, interactive items, etc.). Once those key features are added, I'll begin pre-alpha testing with some friends to squish any problematic / unplayable bugs.
I plan on making a video discussing the mod development and it's challenges, along with some gameplay at some point in the near future -- I'm still quite new to publically discussing the development of the projects, so I'm happy to take any feedback / suggestions / criticism to help me improve for the future.
A quick note that this mod will be for the 64-bit, Scholar of The First Sin edition only, and I don't have any plans to support the original 32-bit game.
Thank you,
Yui

Yui you single handedly brought these games back to life for me after multiple runs I now act as a Sherpa for a lot of new little undeads running around this series for the first time and I love every minute of it!
I have a question now, can you fix the problem of the game in roll that I do not merge, which is called the dead zone?
thx man for the hard work🔥🔥🔥🔥
I cant wait! this'll be so awesome to play!
My friend and I agreed that if DkS 2 seamless had dropped the same day as Nightreign we would have been all over the seamless instead, keep up the great work!!
So excited for this. Thank you for your work.
yui, let me and my gf be beta tester for ds2 seamless coop plssssssssssssssssssss
Always was the favorite of the series for everyone in my friend group for whatever reason. Excited to chill around Majula together
Thank you SOOO much. This was my most anticipated project from you if it was even a possibility. When I first saw the announcement I was so giddy. Thank you for all your hard work and the updates to your progress :3
I loved playing the Elden Ring seamless coop mod with my twin sister, and I am very excited to play some of the other dark souls seamless coop mods you've made. Dark Souls 2 (the original) is my favourite Dark Souls game so I'm stoked that it's getting some love! I know you don't intend to mod the original version of DS2 at this point, but it is such a different game than SOTFS (in my opinion, a much better game) I think it would be really valuable to a lot of people to have a seamless coop mod for the original DS2 some day. Nevertheless, I'm excited that so many fans of SOTFS will get to play a seamless coop version of it. I'll be excited to try it too when it's ready! Keep up the amazing work!
whats the difference?
Thank you for the frequent updates!
