I have discovered a neat little trick with Dark Souls 3 on PC to vastly improve my online experience.

Did you just get invaded and they were wholly unpleasant to deal with/a hacker?
Steam Overlay has this neat little button called "View PLayers" on the left under Friends.
Clicking "Recent Players" shows you who you connected with and how long ago. Check their profile from there, and on the right, under "More" dropdown, is report player, and more importantly "Block Communication".

Regardless of whether you're reporting a hacker, you can block them, and that APPEARS to actually stop them even invading your world ever again, since DS3 goes through steam. It's not a tidy solution, but after my group spent an hour getting invaded by the same dickhead over and over in the DLC hiding on rooftops with a greatbow and an instant kill melee weapon cheat, we all blocked him, and suddenly, NO MORE INVASIONS from him. ever.

@Nine I believe this works with any online Steam game, but it's particularly useful for Dark Souls 1-3! :rondoudou: I used this to stop a hacker in DS2 from trolling me-- they had been killing me over and over again for twenty minutes before I finally steam banned them.

@MariBari It's pure magic, it's finally made one of the more frustrating aspects of PC souls games far more enjoyable! Now if someone is a dick when they invade, I never have to deal with them ever again! I can literally just alt-F4 if they're really bad, block them, reload the game, and rejoin my friends again. problem solved! Let the trolls, hackers and unfair arseholes play with each other only ^^

@MariBari I also totally forgot that DS1 uses Steamworks now as opposed to GFWL (which is mercifully defunct) so yes this is true, it should work for DS1 as well! ^^
