  "account": "Dark Souls 2's popular seamless co-op mod has finally been released for its Scholar of the First Sin iteration. Originally developed by Yui, who had previously created mods for Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring and Armored Core, the mod now brings the ability to play the game in its entirety with drop-in, drop-out co-op.\n\nUp to five players can join a single session, starting from the beginning, with no interruptions or progression blockers. The mod ensures all players' sessions remain synchronized, removing the limitations that typically arise in FromSoftware-developed games. However, this alpha version still has some issues, such as enemy desynchronization when a player dies, including bosses like Velstadt, and potential inconsistencies in certain interactions like opening doors or picking up items.\n\nYui has listed known issues on her Patreon page, so potential users should review that before diving in. Despite these problems, multiple patches have already been released, suggesting a final version is not far off.",
