How well do soulsbornes run on windows anyway?

My strong conviction is that From is pretty much technically inept when it comes to Windows ports so I just play their titles on console...

An emulated title that is in itself a not so great port will have trouble ofc...

it works on asahi without issue. that is with x86 to arm translation, directx to vulkan translation, windows to linux translation and 4k page to 16k page translation running in a virtual machine.

as for how well fromsoft games run on windows you might have been right 12 years ago when dark souls 1 came out initially. it was a mess at the time, but souls games have been running just fine on windows(and linux for that matter) for years. it's only on macos that it is a mess. this has nothing to do with fromsoft and everything to do with macos.
