Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Players have once again gained access to the servers.
In late October, FromSoftware greatly disappointed fans. The developers suddenly shut down the servers for Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III.
Subsequently, the developers explained that this was due to certain vulnerabilities:
Game server operations for [Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III] have been temporarily suspended on all platforms due to detected security vulnerabilities. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
A couple of weeks later, the developers reached out again to announce that the servers had been restored:
Statement regarding the temporary suspension of game servers for Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III. The investigation has concluded, and the issue has been resolved — server operations and online features have been restored.
FromSoftware never explained what exactly happened. Players speculate that vulnerabilities might have been discovered in Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III that could potentially allow malicious code to run on players’ PCs. Nowadays, some hackers use artificial intelligence, which helps simplify finding loopholes in systems.
