The Dragon’s Dogma mod community has hit the ground running. In just a matter of days since the game’s launch, we already have 40+ mods and counting! As a result, we’ve added support for the game to Nexus Mod Manager. Welcome fellow gamers! In this video, I will be showing the basics of how to use the Nexus Mod Manager in games such as Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. This category refers to collections of different pieces of armor put together to form a complete set. Often the various pieces are prefixed with the same name, making their combinations obvious. With these 3 new mods we can drastically enhance the visuals of Dragon's Dogma.MODLIST: LDKSuperDantehttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/users/23347084?ta.

Issues fixed[edit]

Low audio volume[edit]

Enable surround sound[4]
Use Erquint's DDDA Sound Hack[citation needed]

The thread at Steam Guides explains how it works and has a download link.

Notes

Sound quality after the game loads user settings is untouched. Requires no specific hardware.
Requires 3rd-party software tampering with the game itself. Some clipping on the title screen.

Black Screen on start-up[edit]

Micro-stuttering when the framerate is capped at 60 FPS[edit]

Change the framerate cap to 30 FPS in the options menu, this will remove the stuttering problem[citation needed]

Notes

May not be a desirable option for anyone wishing to play at a framerate higher than the console versions.

Notes

  1. 1.01.1File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/367500/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (367500) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
