Community maestro Yui made similar mods for Elden Ring and the original Dark Souls.

After 12 years, Dark Souls 2 is finally playable in co-op without interruptions

After twelve years, Dark Souls 2 is now playable in co-op without interruptions. Modder Yui created the mod, called Dark Souls 2: Seamless Co-op, which has been in alpha since last week. This mod allows up to five players to play the game together from the beginning to the final boss in one session. Unlike the original Dark Souls 2, this mod removes fog walls, syncs progression, and prevents the session from ending when someone dies.

Instead, the player respawns at their last bonfire. The mod's features are accessed through unique items such as Pharros Heliograph and Petrified Fingers. Yui has been actively supporting the mod since its release, fixing a major performance issue for players with Intel processors. Players experiencing problems can check the Nexus page or Yui's Patreon for patches.

Cron jobs: the tiny line that runs half your backend

  • Cron jobs are background code lines on Unix machines performing backups, reports, and deletions.
  • Cron job syntax includes minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week, and command.
  • Misunderstanding cron's range and interval syntax can lead to incorrect scheduling.
