Dark Souls RemasteredArchipelago randomizer mod

Compatibility notes

• Use the regular dsr-Windows-x64.zip client, internally 0.2.6.1, with dsr.apworld 0.2.6 from the same release page. The maintainer still describes the integration as beta. The documented game build is Steam App 1.03.1 / Regulation 1.04, with Archipelago 0.6.7 or later; Prepare to Die Edition is unsupported.
• Set the game to Start Offline and keep AP saves away from the official online service. Back up vanilla and AP saves separately; close the client and restart the game before returning to ordinary play.
• NG+ removes key items and can prevent continued progress. Leave Gwyn until every required objective/check is finished. A received fog key may require restarting both game and client before the wall updates.
• The 0.2.6.1 hotfix addresses Rickert’s shop and attempts to improve bonfire synchronization. The maintainer still lists bonfire-sync crashes; the overlay now starts disabled unless an older saved preference enables it.
• For missing Lord Soul delivery, use the documented /lordvessel diagnostics. Early warp settings can expose routes outside normal logic, and blacksmith embers should be handed in in upgrade order.
• Avoid relying on oversized guaranteed-item lists: the reviewed pool builder can leave requested or required additions unfulfilled after its replacement items run out. Restart DSAP when switching rooms, and retain backups when resuming or updating.
• The client stores the last room password in saved-settings.json. Item application and the server-side receipt cursor are not saved as one transaction with the game; complete recovery from interrupted delivery or restored saves is not established.
• Windows is the documented tested environment. Proton support and combinations with other mods remain preliminary. The experimental client’s complete source correspondence could not be established, so its additional co-op behavior is not included in the default badges.
