Trouble with Guard Break

Trouble with Guard Break - Full body of upset African American man sitting among textbooks and notebook near backpack during break in exam preparation

I was on my way playing Dark Souls 2 PC version when I had a great trouble with Guard Break and Leap attack.

I've did quite a bit of googling, and I understood that; to do a Guard Break I've to hit the forward button and the attack button. In my case It's W and the Left Mouse button. But doing the above gives me a general attack and not a Guard Break. The same happens with the Leap attack.

Guard Break is so essential in PVP so it would be helpful if anyone explains to me what is going wrong and how to correct it.



Best Answer

This is a problem with the game detecting a "double click".

You can turn off double click detection so that a single click registers instantly instead of waiting that 100 ms to detect a double click.

However, this option resets itself every game, even though it says it is off. Every time you start the game, you have to turn it on and off again.
