Dark Souls Dilogy Repack by RG Mechanics Verified: The Ultimate Guide to Downloading and Installing the Cult Classic Duology

4. Troubleshooting Common Errors

| Problem | Solution | | :--- | :--- | | "Missing xlive.dll" or similar errors | Install the DirectX End-User Runtimes and Visual C++ Redistributables (usually found in the game's _CommonRedist or Redist folder). | | Black Screen on Startup (DS1) | This is a resolution issue. Open dsfix.ini and ensure the resolution values match your desktop resolution. | | Controller Not Working | Use x360ce (Xbox 360 Controller Emulator). Place the files in the game folder and map your buttons. | | Save Game Location | For RG Mechanics repacks, saves are usually in Documents > NBGI > Dark Souls (for DS1) or AppData > Roaming (for DS2). |

Installation Steps

  1. Download the Torrent/Files: Ensure the filename includes [RG Mechanics] and [Verified]. Example: Dark.Souls.Dilogy.Repack.RG.Mechanics.Verified.torrent.
  2. Extract (if needed): Some releases come in a .rar or .7z archive. Use WinRAR or 7-Zip to unpack to a folder.
  3. Run Setup: Right-click Setup.exe or RG Mechanics.exe and select Run as Administrator.
  4. Select Components:
    • Choose your installation directory (avoid C:\Program Files to prevent permission issues; use C:\Games\ instead).
    • Uncheck "Install DirectX" and "Install VC Redist" if you already have them.
    • Crucial: Check the box for DSfix if you want 60 FPS in Dark Souls 1.
  5. Begin Installation: Click "Install". The progress bar may stall at 0% for up to 2 minutes – that is normal as the decompressor initializes.
  6. Verification Step: After the progress bar completes, the installer will run an automatic file verification. Wait for the "All files OK" message.
  7. Finish: Uncheck "Open Readme" and "Launch Game" for now. Click Exit.
  8. Apply Patches (Manual): Navigate to the install folder. Look for a folder named _Redist or _Patches. Inside, you may find:
    • DSfix.ini – edit this to set your desired resolution (e.g., 1920x1080) and unlock FPS (set unlockFPS 1).
    • For Dark Souls II, you might find a GeDoSaTo plugin – ignore unless you want advanced downsampling.
