I think this mod is great but personally I think you should only be able to kick people who are flagged as cheaters as most people just abuse this feature and kick every single invader whether they're cheating or not which hurts the game. The hosts don't even want to interact with you since they don't have to anymore which is honestly really irritating.
Does it work that way? I just started playing online and I see people just standing and kicking me, I thought you had to actually be a cheater and be marked as a malicious player in order to be able to get kicked... so anyone can kick anyone else?
Pretty sure since I came back to DS2 on a fresh character and after I had finished that playthrough I made another one but strictly for pvp. I then levelled again and when I finally finished my build I began invading and the amount of times I'd be kicked after instantly joining was frustrating.
Edit: Tomorrow I will test to see if I can kick anyone even if they're not flagged. The reason I haven't tested it until now is because I thought you did it with the numpad which I don't have but that's not the case.
Edit: Okay so I tried using the F8 key that claims to kick "flagged" players and I tried using it on players that weren't flagged and it didn't work which is a good thing, then I tried using the block feature while the person was still in my game to see if that was what people were using to kick other players but neither of these worked which makes me wonder if I've been flagged as "malicious" for some reason. It'd be nice to hear from the dev what "malicious" actually means because in the description it mentions some sort of cheating which I didn't do so it's either the mod that's flagging me by mistake, or way too many people are just pressing alt+f4 on me which I doubt since they'd only have to restart the area anyway the same way as if I just killed them as an invader.
Edit: I've just had another thought, maybe we killed the host previously in an invade, maybe on the same character or a different character and they'd had enough and just blocked us as this feature works regardless of if you're flagged as a cheater or not. I suppose the dev knew that their mod wouldn't be able to detect every possible cheater and flag them so they just let the host block any player they wanted which sort of makes sense but it looks like people are abusing this feature.
Im having issues with starting up ds2 using the mod, it constantly crashes on startup. Usually I just keep running ds2 until it works but that isnt working now
Is there a way to offset the overlay? I play DS2 on steam deck with it sent to "fill screen" which crops the edges out. This works fine normally because DS2 was designed long enough ago that things like tv overscan were still considered during UI design, but unsurprisingly a pc mod does not care about that
I just wanna know if I can scoot the UI over like 50 pixels
I'm not sure if it's been answered already, but I would like to know if a Steam Deck compatible version is possible.
If not, then thanks anyway, never had a problem with the mod and have had countless hours of fun due to it's quality of life improvements. Wish something like this existed for the first game, it's a rough introduction for the series to my friends, and I can't help them with ds1's terrible matchmaking. I've just started recommending them to skip ds1 entirely so they don't hate the franchise before we play the sequels and finally Elden Ring.
I'm not exactly optimistic but one guy said the mod overlay didn't show up for him but the mod still worked, so maybe the version I put on my ds2 folder is already working on the Deck and I just don't have the overlay? Unlikely, but I can hope.
This mod still work in 2025? i downloaded it and i THINK i installed it correctly. your installation instructions dont describe what files to put in the GAME folder so i just put all of them in there.
however i havent noticed any change in gameplay or noises or extra windows open. nothing. How do i know if the mod is working?
A lil red eye shows up on the left hand of the screen
The contents of the archive go inside of Game, yes
I was having an issue where I was playing on steamdeck and it wasn't loading until I added the wine DLL override thing to the steam launch settings. Not sure if that helps in your case.
I've noticed that there is an indicator labeled 'L:xxx' where xxx is some number. What does that mean? I thought it was player level, but I'm level 170 and I've seen it say upwards of 'L:753' in the arena, which doesn't make sense.
Had a problem with an invasion spot twice, it was in the Lost Bastille's first coming from Wharf and I was soft-locked (or I may just be bad lol and couldn't find the host) to where I couldn't reach the host as both the gate and door in that area was closed. Don't know if you can fix it but it might just be a problem with game. Also, have footage to show what I am talking about. Link: https://youtu.be/9Drd6RkVu3E
there is bunch of Brazilian steam accounts invading at 0 soul memory and still managing to inject items to your inventory even with blue acolyte installed
I have a souls memory of 40k and I was invaded by an unfortunate person with a maximum level of 839. I laughed, I would clap but there is no such gesture in the game, his profile is restricted for obvious reasons, block and report.

Any chance on having a file that works for regular ds2?
