1. Download any .NET[dotnet.microsoft.com] framework newer than 4.5 from Microsoft or simply download the .NET 4.8.1[dotnet.microsoft.com] framework. Install the .NET framework you downloaded and restart your PC once the install completes.
2. Download DSCM[github.com] and follow the instructions[github.com] to install it. You can place the DSCM executable in a convenient location on your PC.
3. Create a text file called "steam_appid.txt" in the DATA folder found within the game's main directory. Open the text file you created and write "480" in it (without the " marks). This will fool Steam into thinking that Dark Souls is a game called "Spacewar"; this will enable online functionality for Dark Souls.
4. Launch the game exe directly; do not launch through Steam.
5. If your controller isn't working then exit the game. Find "Spacewar" in your game library then click on Steam's controller support for the game then disable steam input. When you launch the game again, your controller should work.
