Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition - Developer walkthrough“In terms of the PC version, the quick answer is no, [we won't be fixing the frame rate problems]. Because we wanted to get the PC version out as soon as possible,” said the producer.
“It’s more strictly a port from the console version. We haven’t been able to step up into doing any specific optimisation for PC.”
Daisuke told the website that time restraints and a lack of experience in PC ports is to blame: “To be completely honest, we’re having a tough time doing it due to our lack of experience and knowledge in terms of porting to PC. First we thought it would be a breeze, but it’s turned out not to be the case. We’re still developing right now – we’re crunching right now.”
