How to fix Dark Souls not working

Dark Souls is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Reload and restart

   Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.

2. Try another connection

   Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Dark Souls.

3. Update the app

   Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.

While Dark Souls is down: what to use instead

• Offline mode Launch the game without network access when you want solo progress; summon signs and messages will not appear.
• NPC summons Use NPC summon signs at bosses when you need help and player summoning is unavailable; they do not need a match with another player.
• Elden Ring Try another FromSoftware game such as Elden Ring if you want co-op or invasions while this service is out.
• Discord Use Discord to coordinate with your usual group so you can meet up after the servers accept connections again.

Problems at the same time as Dark Souls

Since 27 October, all 2 of Dark Souls's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.
