Download the 1.15 crash-fix executable from the [speedsouls wiki](https://wiki.speedsouls.com/darksouls3:Crash_Fix) and use it to replace DarkSoulsIII.exe in your installation. This modified executable also fixes a memory leak that may otherwise cause the game to crash.

An alternate method is to download version 1.15 from the Steam console. Follow instructions from the [speedsouls wiki](https://wiki.speedsouls.com/darksouls3:Downpatching). Your download command, including the correct depot and manifest ids, is "download_depot 374320 374321 4471176929659548333"

Should it maybe mention the version in addition to the IDs so people can sanity check?

It says 1.15 above, but you're right, it's much nicer to specify again in the down patching section. done
