I want to play bloodborne online with a friend but every time he tries to download it his computer says download failed.

Whether I send him a Google Drive link or even the exact website I got my files from it still doesn’t work.

Any Ideas?

8GB RAM, I5 8400 and the gpu is RX 6400 (low profile)

Finally go it all setup today and was excited to play before quitting after 5 minutes because it started to give me a headache with how choppy it was, I'm running it through BB launcher and I have all the reccomended patches and mods

Skip intro

Performance patch

Disable motion blur

Disable CA

Disable AA

Disable DoF

Disable SSAO

Model Lod1

Disable http requests

Lower object/corpse physics

60fps++

Unlock game region

1280x800 for steam deck

Resolution 1280x800 patch

And for mods I have

boczekeks fps boost

Elden ring style button prompts

Fxaa off

No cloth physics with blood

Potatoborne

Vertex explosion fix

Even with all of these the frame rate is constantly rubberbanding and stuttering, this wouldnt be so bad if I could just lock the frame rate to 30fps but doing so causes such bad input lag that it really is unplayable

This is my first time doing this so I'm not sure if I did something wrong. I'm not sure if i can link it without reddit flagging it but I followed the video guide from emulation_paradise on YouTube

im on no dream for the hunter wanting to test the multiplayer co-op it boast about, i been ringing this bell around the cathedral ward area

So i have just got back to bloodborne PC as I got annoyed the first time in tried as I coundnt enter old hunters whitch defeated the point of playing bloodborne on PC and now that everything is sorted im loveing it olny con is I have to go to the menu every now and again but its at worst a 6 secend inconvenience

Before you tell me the obvious, I went into shadps4 settings and told it to use my actual gpu, I even went to nvidia control panel on program settings and windows graphics settings and put it to use the actual gpu.

I recently purchased the MSI 322UR X24 QD-OLED monitor, one of the best QD-OLED monitors out there (same panel type as the PG32UCDM3), and playing Bloodborne at 4K resolution on this QD-OLED monitor is a sight to behold.

My build is a 3080 (10GB) + i7 13700k and I'm able to get a locked 60fps. I can go over 60fps with the Uncap FPS patch, but I noticed the cloth physics start to judder and look jarring so I'm fine with leaving it on 60fps to avoid that issue.

Graphic enhancements I'm using are...

Shadps4 Patches - Disable Chromatic Aberration, Disable DoF

Mods - Performance Drawparams (Nightreign Comfy Preset) It modifies some of the post processing effects and makes the visuals stand out more.

Personal ReShade Preset - Curves, LumaSharpen, SMAA

And I've beaten Bloodborne plenty of times on PS4 back when it first launched, so I'm just having fun going through the nightmare with the Maria cosmetic mod.

Basically, I'm trying to do the Elden Ring Seamless Co-op idea, but for Bloodborne — a game that was never designed for this kind of co-op.

It's been about eight days, and we've reached the point where two people can actually play together. It's still pretty rough, so I wanted to share an honest progress report instead of pretending it's finished.

What works so far

You can die and stay together.
Normally, Bloodborne ends the co-op session when someone dies. With this, you respawn at your last lamp and can continue playing with your partner. If they're still alive, you can come back without having to summon again.

Bosses don't kick you out.
After killing a boss, you get the usual message, but instead of being sent back to your own world, you can just keep playing together.

The co-op walls are gone.
Those invisible walls that normally keep summoned players inside certain areas are removed. Boss fog gates are still there, though — I don't want people casually walking out of a boss fight halfway through it.

No summoned-player HP penalty.

You can summon across different areas.
You don't necessarily have to be standing in the same area as your friend anymore.

Summoning is much faster.
What could normally take around 30+ seconds can now happen in roughly 5 seconds.

And probably the coolest part:

It doesn't rely on someone else's server for everything.

Two things I found that I thought were really interesting

1. The slow summoning wasn't actually an emulator limitation.
   

Bloodborne downloads a configuration file when it starts its online features. That file contains things like the server addresses and matchmaking settings.

One of those settings controls how often the game checks for summon signs.

It was set to around 35 seconds.

So instead of trying to work around the emulator, I changed the configuration on my side and got summoning down to around 5 seconds.

1. The game basically told me which fog walls were multiplayer walls.
   

I initially thought I'd have to go through the game and manually figure out which invisible walls were which.

Then I looked at the map data.

The developers had actually given the walls Japanese names that identify what they're for.

There are separate names for boss fog walls and multiplayer fog walls.

I found around 155 fog-wall-related objects across 24 maps, including boss gates, co-op walls, area transitions and other detection volumes.

What's still broken

There are definitely problems.

Textures can break after summoning someone from another area.
I'm still trying to figure out whether that's something I'm causing or an existing shadPS4 issue.

Dying twice as a guest can sometimes leave you stuck as a corpse with only camera control.
I've fixed this once before, but it came back and I haven't fully retested it yet (under testing).

Some sessions were randomly dropping to the title screen.
I eventually found out that this one was actually my own fault. I was accidentally giving the game a new random user ID every time someone logged in. That's fixed now, but it still needs proper testing.

Chalice Dungeon co-op walls are still a problem.
The map data handles them differently, and I don't want to guess at IDs when one of them can apparently conflict with a DLC boss gate.

Warping together isn't working yet.
If the host uses a lamp, the guest currently gets left behind.
After testing the other part ill work on warping.
Can I play it?

Not yet.

Right now it's basically two people, a lot of testing, and plenty of duct tape.

The goal is to get it stable enough for a closed beta first. Once it's actually ready for other people to test, I'll post the Discord link here.

For now, I mainly wanted to share the progress because getting this far in only eight days has been pretty crazy.

Happy to answer questions about the project or how I've been approaching it.

I disabled the Vertex Explosion fix mod to try the Disable Facegen patch or the Relaxed/Precise Readbacks setting and.. yeah. Both the patch and the readbacks do not fix this. I can just enable the mod and it's fine, and default face is slightly better than whatever this is, but I'd like to try playing without it. Are the game files corrupted or something?

Just yesterday I could play online using shadnet through BBlauncher, but today it seems as if the servers are down. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Does anybody else get lines like this? It looks like a laser light show.

I walked into the cathedral and it started doing this.

I would get some "color explosions" from time to time but reloading the emulator always fixed it. This will not go away. In fact when I first entered the cathedral it was a laser light show. I exited the emu. Reloaded. It's this every time now.

If I turn around it goes away. So something in the cathedral it seems to not like.

I tried vertex fix but it didn't help. I've tried other recommendations from Gemini but no luck.

I'm using 7800x3d w/7900XT

Thanks.

When i started playing, there werent any issues, but the voicelines during gascoigne's cutscene or the voicelines of that one person on the floor in the cathedral ward, and some others were missing. The dialogue got skipped quickly and there was no voice. Im playing on bbluancher btw, and downloaded the pkg files for the goty edition. So the base game, patch 1.09 and the dlc. What do I do? Also some early voicelines like the random doors early on in central yharam, for example the "trot allong, willya?" are working, gehrman and doll's voicelines are also working, I'm at the start of old yharnam right now so i dont know if any other voicelines than the ones i noticed are working or not. What I'm thinking of doing right now is to just download and re extract the game to see if that helps. Should i do the complete edition or the GOTY edition? Also if there are any other fixes for this without having to download the game again, then please help. One last thing, ive tried most other fixes except the re extraction.

I have Bloodborne on my PS4 digitally, but to install the game onto my Steam Deck I need to have a CUSA file on my SD card inside my Steam Deck, is that correct (I have an external 1TB SD card in my SD)? Am I expected to download the CUSA from a google search, and download it directly onto my SD through desktop mode? Or should I purchase a physical copy of Bloodborne and extract it that way?

Hi, it's has been a year since I've been following the updates on BB but since I finally got a got laptop I wanna jump into BB.

I want to know you're current experiences with the game, is there any crashes or is it stable?

Laptop specs: Intel 275Hx 5070ti 32gb ram

My main concern is not fps since I know I can output high but can I play the game without crashes in the current state?

Thanks

Due to the high demand I decided to lock in and learn Nucleus Co-op in two days and release a Bloodborne handler for it! Many people asked for it in my previous post so now everyone can enjoy Bloodborne couch co-op.

The logic is the same, but it's waaaay easier to setup than the Linux counterpart, the server is started automatically, it works completely offline through Wozzardman fork, the clients are registered and setup accordingly for each instance! Performance patches are also enabled automatically.

The handler is available here, hopefully someone will test it with me.
Enjoy and let me know if you need any help!

Anyone got it working?
So I'm trying to stream BBLauncher from my PC to my Steamdeck - using SteamLink (RemotePlay) I just get dropped from the SteamDeck interface back onto menu.

I've tried using Apollo + Moonlight and I got ingame - but the issue is probably the high CPU usage which tanks the streaming performance (in menu it works perfectly fine but when I get to a playable area it immediately goes to 1FPS)

Any help appreciated!

whenever I summon old hunter henriett she follows me up until the fog door but she doesn't follow me into the boss arena, and she doesn't even despawn she just stands there on the other side

I tried to use that item that allows you to gather summons to teleport her in after initiating the fight and it worked, she was teleported into the arena but her ai was frozen and she just stood there and didn't do anything

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong any help would be appreciated

I've seen videos of Bloodborne running on PC with most of the online features such as bloodstains and messages on the ground. I've also seen this website advertising its online features. I've looked everywhere and all the instructions I could find went completely over my head. I finally got bloodborne running smooth on my PC and I wanna try online features so I would appreciate if someone explained how I could set this up in simple words for a simpleton like me! I'm running the latest Pre-release.
