DDDA Coop 0.9.6 (alpha)

Online co-op for Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (Steam, 2 to 4 players). Alpha.

What's new

• Give an item to the pawn that shows your friend (Equipment > Give, or the storage), and it goes to your friend's own bag. It works both ways.
• Items a guest buys at a shop, and the gold they spend, are now kept. They are added to the guest's own save at the next Solo save, like experience and discipline.
• Gold from selling items in the host's world is not kept, so a guest can't sell the host's items for money in their own world.
• When one player's game plays a cutscene, the other players in the same area see it at the same time. It works from the host or from a guest.
• Cutscenes that also change the game (resting at an inn, items given, the time of day) still play only for the player who triggers them.
• A player in another area, or stuck in a menu, doesn't see it.

Not tested yet: cutscenes started by talking to someone or by a quest step. Please report what you see.

DDDA Coop 0.9.5 (alpha)

Online co-op for Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (Steam, 2 to 4 players). Alpha.

What's new

• Fixed: new players got the old classic mode (a guest driving one of the host's pawns) instead of the shared world: no quest or gear sync, menus driven by the guest's pad (#1). The shared world is now the default; shared_world=0 in coop.ini gives the classic mode.
• Fixed: a grabbed player (RT from behind) was thrown to the far edge of the map when let go, or fell through the floor, and the next grab missed (#1). Grabs work both ways.
• Checked: gear bought from a merchant and worn is seen by the others.
• The mod writes its version at the top of its log.

Install: unzip anywhere, open DDDA-Coop.exe, read README.txt. Every player needs this same version.

Players on 0.9.4 get this version automatically when they start the launcher; players on 0.9.3 or older install it by hand.

DDDA Coop 0.9.4 (alpha)

Online co-op for Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (Steam, 2 to 4 players). Alpha.

What's new

• Automatic updates: at startup the launcher downloads a newer release, checks it (SHA-256), installs it and restarts. Your coop.ini is kept. Not while the game runs.
• Setting: Settings > "Update automatically at startup".
• Release files in English: README.txt and HOW-TO-TEST.txt.

Install: unzip anywhere, open DDDA-Coop.exe, read README.txt. Every player needs this same version.

From 0.9.4 on, the launcher installs the next versions by itself; players on 0.9.3 or older install this one by hand.

DDDA Coop 0.9.3 (alpha)

Online co-op for Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (Steam, 2 to 4 players). Alpha.

What's new

• A player's lit lantern is seen by the others.
• Gear changes are seen by the others; the game loads the piece first.
• Fixed: a lantern already lit when a friend joins is now shown.

Install: unzip anywhere, open DDDA-Coop.exe, read README.txt. Every player needs this same version.

DDDA Coop 0.9.2 (alpha)

Online co-op for Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (Steam, 2 to 4 players). Alpha.

What's new

• Other players move smoothly on an uneven connection.
• Guests see their hits on monsters at once (the host still decides HP and deaths).
• Launcher in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish; update check; new font and icon.
• Co-op starts only after the tutorial, so a new game cannot break a session.
• Bows: a player's pawn aims and shoots like its player.
• Deep water: back on the shore at once with a little less HP, instead of dying.

Install: unzip anywhere, open DDDA-Coop.exe, read README.txt. Every player needs this same version.
