About This File

These are the decrypted files required to launch the Games for Windows - LIVE edition of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition from 2012 after a retail installation.

  • DARKSOULS.exe
  • fmod_event.dll
  • fmodex.dll

The versions of these files that the game installs are encrypted using GFWL's Zero Day Piracy Prevention service, which has been nonfunctional since between 2018 and 2020.
This is not needed for the Steam version of the game, as it does not make use of GFWL or any of its' components since 2015.

The password for the archive is:
