1. Start with the App

• Open Crowd Control Desktop App

• Select Dark Souls 3 from the game list

• Follow the Auto Setup checklist (left side of app)

2. Test Before You Stream

• You can only test effects after pressing “Start Session” in the Crowd Control app

• Always test a few effects before going live to confirm effects trigger as expected

Skipping this step can lead to broken streams and confusion!

Game Saves

Make sure to Quit using the in game menu! Forcing the game closed will lose save progress while offline!

Normally your saves are at %appdata%\DarkSoulsIII but while the CC mod is in place, your CC modified saves will be at %appdata%\DarkSoulsIIICrowdControl

This change is for your protection to prevent your account and saves from being modified in a way to get you banned when going online. Your original saves will be preserved, but you will not be able to use the Crowd Control saves without the Crowd Control mod, which will continue to block online.

Uninstall

To uninstall the Crowd Control mod:

1. From the CC desktop app, select your game.

2. Click the trash icon 🗑️ next to “Mod Installed” to run the uninstaller.

Restore saves and go back online

We install a mod into the base of the game install to disable online play. Remove the file to restore your old saves files and go back online!

In the Steam Library, Right Click your game > Manager > Browse Local Files…

this will open the path to the game. Delete the follow files:

We do not remove the saves created by Crowd Control when you uninstall the mod, however you cannot use the saves you had with Crowd Control without our mod. If you do, your account will get banned on the From Software servers.

Mod Support

It is very unlikely that other mods will work with our pack!
