find way to the correction aspectio

launch game in windowed mode....i know...is horrible, launch tool "winexp" uncheck ws_dlgframe in style and for size and position left top to zero and width height 5040x1050 , window state maximized.....

Now you really got my attention:)) I spent half a day yesterday without success, but I knew it was a trick to it... Was it the Aspect Ratio that was making the whole screen black?

Best Regards,

Turns out GWFL is detecting the code modification, previously it wasent a issue because GWFL didnt appear to work properly on Windows 8, but managed to get it working, as a result the fix crashes after a very short duration.....

Now uses a difference approach, shouldn't crash now.

Fascinating job!!! How did you manage to find out that jmp that was causing the problem?? I understood why you changed it to an unconditional jump since later on there is a compare that is only valid when using 3x resolutions...but how did you manage to reach here in the 1st place??

Best regards,
Helifax

It was the code below it causing the problem, obviously the jump stops that code from executing and is a acceptable execution path anyway.

If you wish to discuss specifics, you can add me on Steam or Gtalk.

[Internal Render FIX] work 100% with Hayden's fix making the game almost perfect minus the FPS 30 unlock and hud scaling(I don't care about position personally) which has not been done yet.

Btw thanks for your work Hayden epic as usual.

Link to fix --> http://blog.metaclassofnil.com mirror on my site --> http://renewsoft.com/darksouls/Fix1_4/

The internal rendering fix is amazing it makes the game looks very nice and fixes the blurry shit of the low internal rendering it uses a DX9 wrapper.

Just chuck the files --> DSfix and d3d9.dll into your Dark SOuls dire where the .exe is --> [drive letter]:SteamsteamappscommonDark Souls Prepare to Die EditionDATA

In the file DSfix you set your settings, the first one is the internal render setting so if you roll with 5760x1080 that is what you set you can juice this up more and then you will get a AA like effect.

Example: first section

# internal rendering resolution of the game
# higher values will decrease performance
renderWidth 5760
renderHeight 1080

There are a bunch of other settings the dude has that fix the DOF etc.

Enjoy will post screen in a bit.

[Update] screens has the DOF fix too I could set it one grade higher 2X that DOF quality will test that later

Well..GREAT NEWS!! I managed to fix the crash:)) by making our little "meddler" stop looking in our job. So now we can actually inject out code easy and nice inside the game and no one is yelling or "stopping working" :) I need to talk to Hayden about this one and see if he wants to put this in the plug-in or not:)

PS: Playing the game in 3D Surround for 1h now without any crashes ^_^:D

DFix works great for increasing the internal resolution and controlling DoF. The Flawless Widescreen plugin does a great job getting triple-wide rendered and the unfixed HUD isn't too bad. But, I am crashing out regularly with Flawless Widescreen. Can't wait to see a stable version. Thanks, guys!

Is it, or will it in the future, be able to remove the letter boxing ... I loved the work you guys did with witcher 2 : fov fp and no letter box. I know it's not a high priority... I'm just too fond of my venerable Sony GDM FW900 to convert to led/lcd, it's still works like a champ after almost 10 yrs.

Great work on flawless ... my brother now seems to buy games for his eyefinity setup only after checking to see if you guys have a plugin for it...

OK here it is:

Massive THANKS to HaYDen for all the work of ENABLING MULTI MONITOR SUPPORT for this game !!!! It was he who found out how to unlock this inside the engine.
All I did was to remove GFWL's memory protection algorithms in order for his method to work!!!

I wrote a plug-in for WideScreen Fixer (since I am familiar with it) based on HaYDen's code and added my little magic to it so the game doesn't crash from 5 to 5 seconds.

- Use the attached plugin with latest WSF.

- Also use The Internal Renderer plugin developed by Durante to increase the resolution in the game.

- In addition if you want to play it in 3D Vision Surround use HELIX MOD for 3D Vision for proper 3D.

I want to say THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO DID HIS MAGIC SO THIS COULD BE ACHIEVED IN SUCH A SHORT NOTICE and if you really like the outcome please don't forget to show your appreciation;))

Helifax

EDIT: Didn't saw the above post:)) Well now we have 2 fixes:D ^_^ Again! all credit goes to Hayden for his magnificent job!
Flawless Widescreen has also been updated so you can use it!! :D

Hi HaYDeN, any chance of a fix for non 16:9 resolution? It's kind of zoom in 16:10.

Find this line in the plugin: [assuming comfortable editing a text file]

Code:

local AspectRatioFix = HackTool:GetAddress(&quot;AspectRatio&quot;)

   if AspectRatioFix and DisplayInfo then

      AspectRatioFix:WriteFloat(DisplayInfo:GetAspectRatio())

   end

and change it to this:

Code:

local AspectRatioFix = HackTool:GetAddress(&quot;AspectRatio&quot;)

   if AspectRatioFix and DisplayInfo then

           local AspectRatio = DisplayInfo:GetAspectRatio()

           if AspectRatio &gt; 1.77 then

               AspectRatioFix:WriteFloat(AspectRatio)

           end

   end

Plugin is found at C:Program Files (x86)Flawless WidescreenPluginCacheFWS_PluginsModulesDarkSoulsDependenciesScriptsDarkSouls_UI.lua - edit it in something other than notepad as it uses Linux style CRLF.

Why are you needing to run this fix anyway - do 16:10 resolutions not work by default?

Thx, I will try it.

16:10 is supported but the game is anamorphic 16:9 so there's black bars on top and bottom.

Great job so far guys, though I'm sticking with 16:9 2560x1440 internal resolution for now, unless the hud-stretching can be fixed. Tried it without, but it's just too jarring for now. Otherwise looks superb though. Tried it with 11520x2160 internal resolution too, and it worked, though 20 FPS only.

As a matter of fact...we didn't give up.. Even today me and Hayden tried to center the HUD on the middle screen. Even if it was somehow positive as a result it wasn't usable as the menus were broken and crap... so no we dont have a working solution... probably we wont more than this:)

Check it out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbvHfdFYPoA&feature=youtu.be

So...

1. In order for this to work correctly you need this developed by Durante. HUGE THANKS FOR HIM!
2. in the config file of the above mod set the resolution of the renderer exactly the same resolution as the game itself!!

EX: In game set 5230x1050. In config file write:

3. Everything else should work now:)
4. IT IS NOT 100% GUARANTEED to WORK. Simply try to restart the game once, twice if the HUD is still spawned on all screens.

BIG THANKS to HaYDeN for enabling Multi monitor resolutions ingame!

Umm, another thing. Am I supposed to use HaYDeN's fix with Durante's mod? It appears that the HUD/text is still stretched.

No HUD fix has been released as yet [by anyone], at this stage the plugin for FWS only enables Surround/Eyefinity resolutions to render, without it you will just get a black screen.

Durante's mod increases the renderer resolution.

Ok:)

Hud & Menus & all small thingies are FIXED Don't believe me?

Check it out
Youtube Movie

So...

1. In order for this to work correctly you need this developed by Durante. HUGE THANKS FOR HIM!
2. in the config file of the above mod set the resolution of the renderer exactly the same resolution as the game itself!!

EX: In game set 5230x1050. In config file write:

3. Everything else should work now:)
4. IT IS NOT 100% GUARANTEED to WORK. Simply try to restart the game once, twice if the HUD is still spawned on all screens.

BIG THANKS to HaYDeN for enabling Multi monitor resolutions ingame!

Best Regards

OK WSF plugin is done
Use it with the latest version of WSF. Be sure to delete first the one existing as it might conflict or not load this one.
Tested to work on Windows 7. On Windows 8 we still have problems with it and probably the fix will not work.
This is created to work with the fix from Durante found here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=488240

Please test it, let us know and if you feel generous we dont say no to donations.

I can confirm it works using the plugin from this post, the other plugin that came bundled with the download of WSF made the screen go black. Thank you so much! I got up to Blighttown using the stretched hud but took a break with the hope this would be fixed.

@svr I get a solid 30FPS with these settings in Durante's mod: 5860x1080, dof override res 1080, dof scaling 0, filtering override 0, smaa quality 1
I have a GTX 670 and i73770k.
Could be something wrong with your settings? Maybe try different V-Sync settings, if you're locked at 15fps that could be affecting it. My 2 cents :)

Thanks again you guys!!

helifax, I used your latest plugin with WSF (deleting the existing plugin) and after it loads the game, the screen goes completely black. After testing, it appears as though the HUD/text elements aren't displayed, but the rest of the image is.

I'm using a single 16:10 widescreen monitor at 1920x1200. The default plugin stretches the HUD, but i'm looking for a plugin that will fill the screen, but not stretch it. Am I doing somethiing wrong here? Both my Dark Souls resolution and my dsfix.ini is set to 1920x1200 too, if that's any help.

Hmm I have not tested it for 1 Screen resolution and it will probably not work for 1 screen at the moment. Everything is dark since is pushing the hud on your 2nd monitor which you dont have:))... So that is why is like that....

Yes, I believe I did right. Internal render, resolution and ingame resolution are the same. Rebooted and tried again but no change. GPU usage shows between 40-80%. I have no perfomance issues otherwise so it could be driver related or maybe the port is just that crappy.

svr - regarding your 15fps issue, I found this on Durante's post on Neogaf:

"Some information for those having trouble with their framerate being locked at 15:

The fix is to open up the DarkSouls.ini file and manually set your fullscreen resolution and monitor's framerate there.

The .ini file is located here: C:Users[YourUserName]AppDataLocalNBGIDarkSoulsDarkSouls.ini

Some people have reported that using HDMI rather than DisplayPort also resolves the issue."

Do either of these apply to you?

Strangely it doesn't seem to fix the UI for me.

I've never had much extensive use with flawless widescreen, so I might have added it wrong. Does Version: 1.0.101 -- SV: 3 mean it's the right one? Or is there some other way to look?

I put it in the plugins folder.

Hey there! Atm the plugin works only with Widescreen Fixer: www.widescreenfixer.org
HaYDeN tried yesterday to add it to flawless widescreen but it seems that on Windows 8 the memory allocation is different and it didn't work for him. We are still investigating ...

i think i was having the same issue you were having, are you running the game in full screen window mode? if so, just change it back to full screen and you will be able to get the 5760 res under the pc settings so it will not look stretched out or pixelated

Updated the Plugin so now it works properly both on Windows 7 and Windows 8 (and any other windows versions). It was tested both on Win7 and Win 8.
The HUD and menus etc will correctly scale every time the game is launched now. Alot of effort has been put into this.

Please be aware to launch the plugin before launching the game.
Please remember to delete any Dark Souls Plugin from WSF before using this one.

I have the same problem..Dsfix 1.4 disable any hud modifications !!!How to do that....

Open DSfix.ini and find the following lines:

###############################################################################
# HUD options
###############################################################################

# Enable HUD modifications
# 0 = off (default) - none of the options below will do anything!
# 1 = on
enableHudMod 0 BE SURE THAT THIS IS 0.

# Remove the weapon icons from the HUD
# (you can see which weapons you have equipped from your character model)
enableMinimalHud 1

if enableHudMod is 0 the hud will be correctly scalled. I just tested it and it works. Also, be sure to have launched WideScreen Fixer before starting the game otherwise it will not work properly.

I fixed my earlier performance issues in triplehead. Apparently my previous forced nvidia inspector settings had some conflict even though I didn't have inspector running. Anyway, I got it running 'smooth' 30 fps @ 5760x1200 with SMAA 3 and SSAO. Dsfix 1.4.

I grabbed the latest plugin for widescreen fixer you posted few posts back and the hud centers for a moment and stretches. I can hit the wsf key and it works for about 10 seconds and stretches again. I have no hud mods. Is it broken or am I doing something wrong?

Hey there:)

Download the plugin. Start WideScreen Fixer (the game is not running). Configure the plugin. Leave WSF in the background and start the game. The plugin will automatically enable so no need to enable the fix;)) If everything is ok (which should) you should see the HUD centered.

Let me know if this works out;))

Just for the reference I uploaded the plugin again to this post.

Hate to bump up a dead horse here, but has anyone tried Dsfix 1.9? It has an option to unlock the FPS, and bring it up to 60 FPS.

There was a patch today and honestly I'm not sure if the widescreen fixer no longer works or if it's just the general crappiness of the game. In any case it crashes on start up and once I got it to load up to just a solid black screen and when i moved the mouse i could here the main menu sounds. I'm running the steam version on Win 7 64 bit. Windescreen fixer v3.4 r603

If there is anything else you need to know, just let me know.

Hey there;)) Thx for the info;))

Updated the plugin to work with latest Steam Patch (version is still 1.0.1 which is confusing).
VERY IMPORTANT:
- You will need DSFix in order for the plugin to work
- It appears that the patch also broke DSFix FPS LIMIT REMOVER capability and thus your game will crash to desktop as soon as you launch it.
- Go to DSfix.ini and set "unlockFPS 1" to "unlockFPS 0"
- Enjoy Dark Souls.
(I am have no affiliation with Durante nor DSFix. So I have no idea when the FPSUnlock will be fixed)

I pushed the update to WSF. Until it will be officially available you can grab it from this post!

Happy Souls Loosing ^_^

I just updated with your fix Helifax, game runs in 3x eyefinity, but the UI is all stretched again.

Got any ideas?

I am using DSfix in 5040x1050.

EDIT- If I turn it on/off multiple times, the UI is corrected. I guess that's all it was

Thanks for the fix!

Blargh. I can't get this to show on 5760 no matter what i do

It's a black screen no matter how i change the settings is DSfixer. Widescreenfixer even makes single screen all black :crazy:

I noticed that my character was a little fat and the game world seemed a little off. I think it might have something to do with bezel correction in the fix and possibly that I am using 1280x1024 monitors. I fixed it by setting my monitor count to "1" and setting my uncorrected resolution to the same as my corrected resolution in the fix.

Now it looks proper.

Something is not right there;))

First be sure you put the same numbers both in DSfix ini file (for example 5760x1080) and WSF.
If the numbers are not the same basically you are using 2 different resolutions and you get weird stuff...
Let me know if that fixes it;))

It works exactly the same as before the patch, Including centering the HUD on the middle screen.
If you still get weird thing try to set the resolution manually instead of autodetect mode in the WSF plugin.

Made a test:
ONE IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW:

IT DOESN"T WORK WITH DSFIX 2.0 or 2.1. Apparently he changed something inside there:) Use DSFIX 1.9 without the framerate unlock thing and it will work.
This is the reason some of you get weird stuff.

I will probably update it in the future...but I cannot give an ETA.

I am using the latest DSfix, and if this is the extent of the "not working" that your talking about then I can deal with it until there is a new version of the widescreen hack.

The frame unlocker is working, game geometry is correct, and the HUD is even less intrusive when you make it smaller with DSfix. So everything is fine as far as I'm concerned.

I can't get the game to switch to 5760x1200 at all sadly. All I get are black screens or nothing happening at all. Tried using Widescreen fixer, flawless widescreen and also 1.9 and 2.1 dsfix. Any ideas or suggestions what I should try?

2.1 Doesn't work for me:( at all with the updated plugin. Use the plugin attached above and use DSFIX 1.9. Be sure to set the same resolution inside the ini file and disable the FPS unlock or you game will crash.

If still doesn't work

I can take a look via TeamViewer if you want

Are you using Steam version? or another version by any chance?

Oh yes please Helifax if you have time. I'm on UK time so just name when and I'll PM you the login. Yes it is on Steam.

Not sure if it helps to know but the WSF seems to go in to "not responding" mode upon loading up DS from steam which causes the game to also do the same. If I quickly shut down the windows game prompt box and reload the game it works. It only appears to work when WSF is not responding. WSF will switch to working once the game has loaded up though.

FYI I have tried the following:
- 1.9 and 2.1 DSfix
- latest plugin as listed above to be working. Around 53kb replacing 45 or something
- Flawless WS
- nvidia driver re-installed (3.10.70)
- change the renderwidth/height values to 5760x1200
- multiple different aa qualities, types strengths
- ssao stregths and so forth
- different AO used
- different DoF values
- different settings within WSF. Auto res, manual res, etc

Spec:
i7 2600k
8gb ram
2x 580 GTX cards
SSD drive (where it & steam is installed on (C:))
3x Dell 24" IPS screens (1920x1200)

I'm having this same problem except after each time I toggle the fix, after about 15 seconds the HUD reverts to being stretched again. It keeps doing this. I toggle fix off and on, HUD fixed and centered, after 15 seconds it's stretched again. Anyone else having this problem or have any ideas?

Same problem here, if I select 21:9 resolution of my dell u2913 i get black screen UU'

I know that probably there won't be any update on the tool, so I could not play the game anymore.

No matter, this is the LAST game I buy that have not native ultrawidescreen compatibility

Thanks Heli, I perfectly understand that you coders can't observe every single setting possible, for every patch of every game. The amount of work grows exponentially

I was simply posting just to see if anyone had found some kind of workaround.

No. If I select nVidia, game CTDs just before starting. If I select AMD, fix seems to do nothing. Tried both, auto-detect and manual, on almost every resolution and aspect ratio available in game config.

Should you need any more information, please ask.

LOL sorry, I was writing here and at The Witcher 2 post, and posted here what I wanted to post there xD

About Dark Souls: No, I have tried several combinations. For example, selecting 1680 x 1050 (16:10) in game, and 1920 x 1080 (16:9) in fixer, does not expand the image, nor correct aspect ratio. In other words, fixer seems to have no effect at all, at any given resolution or aspect ratio.

Shall I do more testing, please ask.

My question doesn't pertain directly to multi-monitor gaming, but I figured if anyone could help me, it would be you folks.

This game has letterboxing for 16:10 resolutions. Flawless Widescreen used to work in fixing that, with some horizontal loss, which was great. However, with the late december patch, it stopped working.

The current fix for multi-monitor settings is with Widescreen Fixer, but their solution doesn't work so well with 16:10, and instead of the horizontal loss, what we get is stretching.

Is there anything that can be done so that the Widescreen Fixer solution behaves more like the Flawless Widescreen one, resulting in horizontal loss for 16:10 resolutions?

Oh I understand. But there's folks using it for that purpose, and while it still works, it worked better, and I hoped someone here with a good understanding of it's workings might have the impetus to help us 16:10 users out.

OK I cannot for the life of me get this to work. I have been on every page of this topic, tried everything and all i get is the black screen. I'm using the latest Widescreen Fixer and I have tried DSfix 1.9 and 2.1. I have changed the resolution settings both on the dsfix.ini, Widescreen Fixer and Dark souls to the same but still nothing. I have made sure the fps cap is still on as well as all the other tips on how to get this to work....but it just wont!

If I use Flawless Widescreen it works but its all streched. Im using the Retail version (GFWL) and my specs are:

Windows 7 64bit
i7 3930k
GTX 670 SLI
Corsair SSD

Please help

Your version is not from Steam ? Is actually a retail version of the game? (not cracked/hacked) ? If so, that is the problem. Currently it works only with Steam version.
If you are interested in making it work on your machine and have no problem with TeamViewer, please let me know. The only way to make it work is to remote connect to your computer and make it work on your version:)

I had to create an account to try and get someones help getting eyefinity working! I have probably spent 10+ hours after buying it on sale last weekend on amazon.com. I have downloaded dsfix and changed the resolution to 5760x1080. Got the widescreen fixer v3.4 r642 and set it to 5760 x 1080. When I boot up the game widescreen fixer indicated the fix is enabled and it does fill up my full resolution, but it stretches it! I have messed with every setting in dsfix.ini and played with automatic detect and the resolutions in widescreen fixer. I have tried dsfix 2.01 and dsfix 1.9. Also tried flawless widescreen as well, but I get a black screen. I can tell dsfix is working because the HUD and AA settings are adjusting when I change them. I can tell widescreen fixer is working because if I don't use it I just get a black screen. This is driving me crazy! No matter what I do the game just stretches the original 1280 x 720 image ALL the way to 5760 x 1080... Is there anything else it could be?

Hello Steveo,
Welcome to the forums;)

What OS are you using? Win 7 or Win 8 ?

I will check it out, and see if I get the same issues;))

Also, Try this:

Launch WSF.
Start the game.
Get to the main screen.
Disable WSF (using the hotkey *) (Screen should go to black)
Enable WSF plugin again by using the same key. (You should see the Image properly centered, etc)

If after you enable it a second time you still see the image stretched..I need to think but I know at least where the problem lies.

Let me know if this helps you out:)

Thanks for replying! So, after trying to to hit * and disabling the fix and re-enabling it it works! Thank you! I'm not sure why, but I do have to do it every time I start the game. O well! Now a new issue has come up. When I start the game the hud is centered and the menus look good, but after 15-30 seconds the hud and menues stretches across all three screens. If I hit * to disable the fix and re-enable it the hud/menu looks good again, but reverts back in 15-30 seconds! I tried a few older versions of wide screen fixer, but they all seem to do the same thing. If it matters at all in wsf if I select game version steam release it crashes before start up. December patch works though.

Yeah. To be clear, the rest of the game stays in 5760 x 1080. Just the HUD & Menu reverts back and it is big and ugly! The game is definitely playable now, thank you, but getting the hud/menu/dialog centered on the middle screen would be fantastic! To answer your question a post back I am running windows 7 x64.

Is it normal for widescreenfixer to have a really high cpu-usage? It and dark souls itself are just about equally sharing the cpu. Just noticed this while i alt-tabbed to task manager.

No not really, it shouldn't eat alot of CPU.. Is this persistent? Just this plugin? or in general? Is the same CPU usage after a PC restart?

Well, now that i knew that it wasn't normal i tried removing everything and downloaded wf again. It works now with minimal cpu usage. Before that used a lot of cpu every time.

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with Darks Souls (Steam), I Dsfix 1.9 released with FPS and renderWidth 5916
renderHeight 1080. WSF 3.4 R662 whose souls Dark plugin to date.
WSF enabled I start the game, the game crashes and WSF.
I browsed the forum looking for an answer, but I'm French with very limited English so I did not find anything.
Thank you in advance for your hand, and a big congratulations to all the developers that allows us to maximize our three screens.

Try this plugin.

Put it in "WideScreenFixer" Folder -> Plugins Folder. Also be sure to set in WSF the same resolution your game is using.
EX:
Uncorrected Resolution: 5760x1080
Correcter Resolution: 5916x1080

To tell you the truth I do not understand ... the game is not already running the original (well the very first time).

Then if I select WSF in December 2012 I patch both the campfire with Dark souls marked down 5 sec and then black screens. I think more a problem of setting Dsfix.

I was so touched at all ...

It is possible to type Dsfix? FYI I tried that with the http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.ph ... &start=130 Enforcer.

Hi, I need help getting Dark Souls working on multi-monitor again.

I had Dark Souls working with multi-monitor before, several weeks ago, and now I just get a black screen or it crashes on load. I'm re-installing it for the second time now, and if someone would be kind enough to walk me through setting it up, I'd be very grateful.

I have Dark Souls from Steam. I've got Widescreen Fixer v3.4 r662 with Plugin v3.3 r0 from http://3dsurroundgaming.com/WSF.html (it lists v1.0.3 for the game version). The plugin is configured for 3 displays, 5760x1080 uncorrected, 6032x1080 corrected.

What should I do next? Do I launch the game and change settings? Do I install DSFix, and if so which version? At what point do I launch Widescreen Fixer?

1. Download and install DSFix (either 1.9 or 2.2 as both seem to work) .
2. Open DSFix configuration file
3. Write the resolution you want your game to play at in DSFIX file. In your case: 6032x1080.
4. Make all the other modifications in DSFix that you want.
5. Save the file.
6. Start WSF.
7. Start the game
8. The fix should automatically start after 10-20 seconds or so, don't remember by hard
9. You should be able to see everything, UI etc centered on the middle screen
10. Enjoy! and that is an order ^_^

Thanks for the quick reply!

I did that, and ended up with just a black screen. I'm going to try launching the game first, without anything else, and making sure that the in-game settings are OK, such as turning AA off and having it set for fullscreen.

Edit: Nevermind. Launching it on a fresh install with nothing else just got me a black screen across all three monitors. Following your steps exactly got me up and running. I don't know why it didn't work last time. Maybe it was the reboot that did the trick? In any case, thanks again!

Thanks for updating the fix helifax!

For some reason the fix didn't adjust my HUD and left it stretched and ugly. I think that maybe it didn't take effect until I turned on AA in DSfix. I'm unable to get it stretched and ugly again though so IDK what to think about that.

Is it possible that you can somehow integrate DSfix's HUD modification capability in a future release? This is what mine looks like just scaled down with some transparancy. When the "mini HUD" option is turned on there isn't anything in the lower left at all.

When HUD mods are disabled everything is solid gold though, thanks again!

So I'm having an issue where I can't get Dark Souls to span my 3 screens. It appears the resolution is correct but it is only showing on my center monitor.

Any ideas on how to get it to span all 3?

This is what I am seeing.

I've been using DsFix + WF for a while with no problems, but the newest set of updats has been killing me.

I was trying to play today (I did yesterday with no problem), but no matter what I do I can't get it to fullscreen properly. I'm using DsFix 2.2 and the latest WF and plugin. All the resolutions (including bezel comp) are set correctly but when I choose "fullscreen" in the game menu, I get nothing on the display. Enabling "borderless fullscreen" in DsFix just stretches the image. I use 5x1p, am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

I have followed these instructions, however my game launches with all 3 screens showing a duplicated screen of the game instead of being stretched across 3. Anyone's input would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure before you do any of the above steps you set the resolution you want within Dark Souls. That step is left out most of the time and caused my games not to span the three monitors.

Hi guys!

I am new here. First of all, thanks to the authors of Widescreen Fixer and the various plugins! You guys are amazing :twothumb:

I am trying to get Dark Souls running for my system with the instructions above but either I have no HUD or the HUD is there but the 3D engine output stretched to half. I have a DELL 29" Widescreen and a Samsung 24" 16:9 screen, my native desktop resolution is 4480x1080 (2560x1080 and 1920x1080). Dark Souls is the latest Steam version, DSfix is version 2.2.

Dark Souls is set to 2560x1080, DSfix.ini is set to 2560x1080. I am using the latest plugin for Widescreen Fixer from http://3dsurroundgaming.com/WSF.html.

Now, if I select "Automatically Detect Resolution" in the plugin settings for Widescreen Fixer, the HUD renderer size will be 4480, meaning the HUD is stretched out of my primary screen and everything on the right not visible anymore. The game itself then is strecthed to half.

If I deselect the option and enter the values manually (Display Count 2, Uncorrected Resolution 4480x1080, Bezel-Corrected Resolution 2560x1080), no HUD will be displayed at all. HUD renderer size will display 320. Same problem if I set Uncorrected and Bezel-Corrected both to 2560x1080, HUD renderer size is then 1280 but still no HUD is displayed.

Is there a way to set the HUD renderer size manually? I assume it needs to be 2560. But how can I achieve this? Or am I doing something completely wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Hey there:)

I haven't tested the plugin in 21:9 but you can do the following test:

No Monitors = 1;
Uncorrected Resolution 1920x1080 (standard 16:9)
Corrected resolution 2560x1080 (your 21:9)

It is possible it will not work, since I didn't manage to update all the plugins to 21:9 (and I don't remember exactly if I updated this one or not;)) ) If it doesnt work let me know, I will fix it in the weekend;))

Best Regards,
Helifax

Thank you for your reply, Helifax!

I tried your suggestion, this will result in a crash of Widescreen Fixer with a division by zero error.

Stack Trace:
Plugin.Dark_Souls_Prepare_to_Die_Edition.Configuration.get_RenderResolution()
Plugin.Dark_Souls_Prepare_to_Die_Edition.DarkSouls.Enable()
Widescreen_Fixer.WidescreenFixer.TimerSetup_Tick
System.Windows.Forms.Timer.TimerNativeWindow.WndProc
System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback

An update for your plugin would be amazing :-)

Best,

With Helifax's latest plugin everything is working perfectly for me. I'm using DSfix 2.2, see top of page 20 (my first post) for my exact setup.

If you are using DSFIX go inside the Ini and disable any HUD modifications from DSFix otherwise it will not work properly.

Tried to play this again today and remembered why I stopped...

I'm running Win8 and tried again today with the latest everything (DSFix 2.2, WF 3.4 r682, latest plugin) and I get a black screen no matter what when I try to fullscreen the game. Windowed seems to work fine though. All the resolutions are set correctly, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've also tried several un/re-installs and a couple of reboots.

So what is the working combination right now to get this game working in eyefinity? I have the latest game from steam and the latest widescreen fixer plugin and the latest dsfix files and I cannot get the game to work. Mostly all I'm getting is just a blank black screen. Either that or the game crashes. I have tried it, deleted everything and then tried again and still no luck. I was able to get the game working back in the day with one of the oldest version of dsfix and the first iteration of the plugin but now Im having nothing but problems with it.

EDIT: I may have figured it out. Testing now..

EDIT2: I was able to get it to work.

Hi there,

I'm new here, sorry for my grammar and hope you all can understand my problem regarding Dark Soul.

For starter, I will explain about my LCD.

3 Monitor LCD setup, (1)17" ( 1280 x 1024) x (2) 23" (1920 x 1024) x (3) 17" (1280 x 1024) = 4480 x 1024

LCD 1 it Native resolution is 1280 x 1024 at ratio 5:4, and set it to Main Monitor,

By using WindowBorderless Gaming software, i manage to play Assassin Creed 4 using 4480 x 1024 (but got Black Bar) and expand cross 3 lcd, same with Castlevania : LOS working great(No Black Bar).

But for the Dark Soul, i failed to produce the same result as AC4.

1. Tried using Widescreen Fixer + WindowBorderless, end result WSF detect Dsfix working but still using 1280 x 1024
in game rendering resolution, and the game stretch cross 3 lcd.

2. Tried widescreen Fixer, game on load on LCD 1.

3. Tried WindowBorderless, game Rendeting at 4480 x 1024, but cant expand cross 3 lcd...

Hope can help me....

Bottom line:

1. in DSfix set your bezel corrected resolution ex: 5100x1050
2. in WSF set uncorrected to 5040x1050 and corrected to 5100x1050
3. in DSfix disable any UI manipulation and texture injection
4. Leave WSF running and start the game. It should automatically kick in.

I know is point 3. makes a lot of people confused, but I din't had the time to check that out and sometimes is hard to make everything work in every possible configuration;)

Hope it helps:)

Hrm, it's weird...

Whenever I use WSF, running the game crashes to white screen instantly. This is using the current version of DSFix (I've removed DSMFix in the meantime to try and help resolve the situation.

When I fire up the game with WSF, this is the crash msg

Code:

  Additional Information 4:   0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

Running the game with WSF off results in a windowed game that protrudes over the bezel (1920x1200x3 or 5760x1200 native res) but is stretched.

I have tried playing around with DSFix22 files, textures and hud changes are all set to 0 (off) by default. Originally started with more mods open but cleared out everything and restarted from scratch, same result. It's definitely having a bad reaction to WSF but I can't figure why. Version is the latest patch on Steam and I've got the latest WSF + plugin for DS.

Thanks heaps for your help (and Happy New Year all! :cheers:

Have you tried with the latest plugin from here?
http://3dsurroundgaming.com/WSF.html

that is weird since...in the game normally after you select 5760x1200 the screens go completely black.
I know is a bit painful but you need to set 5760x1200 in all 3 locations (game, dsfix and wsf) Anyway, it shouldn't crash. I am also using the latest Steam version.
Try with the plugin from my page ( I know I added a couple of updates to it) and hopefully it will work;))

Also, I never tried in window mode or stuff like this (forced from dsfix). I would download dsfix again and just modify the internal rendering resolution and leave the rest as default. After it works I would play around to see what options are working and which aren't:)

It was a combination of plugin (even though I only d/l'd it recently, I had the 12/12/13 plug rather than the 21/12/13), windowed mode and using the bezel corrected rez in WSF.

In non windowed mode, you can't see any native resolutions higher than 2042x1080 (or something like that).

Just wondering, if I set all 3 resolutions to 6080x, it should recognise then and allow bezel correction?

Now to get the mouse fix working (looks like my thief is twerking on PCP trying to use the bastard thing)!

Thanks for all your help mate, paypal incoming. :cheers:

Still trying to get this working. I have all the resolutions set correctly, but can't find out what I'm doing wrong now (I used to use these all the time before).

I have all the latest stuff (except DsFix), and most of the time the game just crashes when I launch it if WSF is running. I changed the fullscreen res in the .ini file for the game (the one in \appdata) to match bezel corrected.

Should I be in windowed/fullscreen/borderless fullscreen? I guess I'm just all confused now. Been trying to fix this for a while with no success.

I got the game to load up. I can create a character and run through the initial video (dragons and fire and what not), but when I load the actual character itself I get a white screen and then a game crash.

Here is what I've done to get this far:

1. DSFix 2.2 with resolution set to my bezel adjusted resolution (5908x1080).
2. Widescreen Fixer 3.4 r682 with Dark Souls patch downloaded tonight.
3. WSGF settings to manual: 3 monitors, Uncorrected 5760x1080, Corrected 5908x1080 (both of which are numbers I pulled from my control center).
4. Changed in game resolution to 5760x1080.
5. When crash first happened, went into game .ini file (in my user folder) and manually changed that to 5908x1080, with the same problem.
6. Tried bringing my DSFix.ini back to defaults except DSM redirect and the resolution change.

What am I missing? I'm very new to multimonitor stuff, so sorry if it's something obvious and I missed it while reading through the forums.

I got Dark Souls to load a game finally, but there is a minor problem. Though my HUD is spread across all 3 screens, my actual view of my character and the world surrounding him only fills the upper lefthand corner of my farthest left screen, the rest being black.

I would set the in-game resolution to match your bezel-corrected resolution, so that the resolution in all the places matches. Double check that AA is disabled in the game settings. And you downloaded the latest plugin from Hellifax?

I got it working. Thank you. I was just being an idiot.

Apparently there was something in my dsfix that I didn't know I'd changed, so I started with a fresh one, and got it to load up. Then I went back and read the instructions again and realized I'd turned on AA and such in the game. Seeing as how it was 2 hours between when I started trying to get it to work and when I actually did, I'd forgotten that step. Lastly I realized in my darksoul.ini that I'd changed the windowed mode res, not the full screen mode res, but I was able to change it in game to 5908 or w/e my bezzel res was. I appreciate the help, though.

Glad you got it sorted out!

Dark Souls is one of the most frustrating games to get working in multi-monitor. Most games are real easy, but Dark Souls took me three attempts with a fresh install each time. Dark Souls really makes you work for it.

Hello! I hate to beat a dead horse but I have spent the better part of 5 hours trying to get this to work. I have freshly installed my Dark souls game, Manually changed fullscreen resolution in /appdata to 3864x1080 (I am using two 1920x1080 monitors, and beveled resolution is 3864), changed internal rendering in dsfix.ini to 3864x1080, and have the new widescreen fixer downloaded along with the plugin from http://3dsurroundgaming.com/WSF.html. I have changed the uncorrected resolution to 3840x1080, the beveled resolution to 3864x1080, and put in 2 monitors. When I start the game, I do see a stretched out fire in the bottom left of my first monitor but the screen goes black while I can hear all game menu sounds. When I get to the load character screen, everything becomes visible and it is very stretched. When I finally get into game, If I press my * (default WSF activation key) a couple times then I can get the menus to eventually show up, however they are stretched across both of my monitors. I can not figure out how the heck to scale the hud! Please someone offer me your services!

I just wanted to say that I have the majority of the fix working. The game boots up and everything works, with the only exception being that the hud is not scaled and is quite stretched out. I have my bezel resolution in dsfix.ini, darksouls and in WSF. the thing that made it all work was putting just 1 monitor into WSF instead of the 2 I have. any tips on the hud scaling would be great!

I have been following this thread with great interest, since I've had a similar problem since late December/ early January running 5760x1080 Nvidia GPUs. My symptom is when launching DS with WSF open I crash to a white screen. I have realized finally after unsuccessfully employing all the fixes recommended that I that I have been making a rookie mistake so basic that I should be thrown off the island! If you notice on the WSF option section in the upper right corner you can select which DS:PTD version, retail or Steam. Until recently the choices were the retail December 2012 patch or the presumably the current Steam load. Now I see the choices have changed to Steam 1.01, 1.02 or 1.03. Since only one line shows without highlighting I just noticed the previous selection I made, which was Steam 1.01, thinking that was the only choice. DUHHHHH

! I switched to v1.03 and the Halifax fixes and DS now runs like a champ.

hey guys.
I bought Dark souls with ARTORIAS OF THE ABYSS EDITION (this s not Prepare to Die Edition) in Japan.
I patched Ver.1.02. I tried to play the game on 5760x1080 resolution with GTX670 2way-SLI.
I used DSfix2.2 and Widescreen Fixer 3.4 R694. However,I could not play the game. I can hear sound only with black screen.

I think that memory address is difference between JPN Edition to ENG Edition. What would you suggest I do?
I'm sorry if my grammar is wrong and you don't understand the meaning.

Hi. if your are getting black side screens with black and white vertical stripes on the center screen you may be using the wrong Widescreen Fixer version. When I use r694 DS:PTD plugin from that release along with Steam that's the result. However if I revert back to WSF r693 and select the 1.03 version of DS:PTD within WSF the all runs well. Good Luck!

Then,I tried WSF r693 and 1.02 version of DS:PTD within WSF the runs,but aspect ratio was wrong.
When I selected plugin v1.01 and v.1.03, the game has crashed.

gamename = DarkSouls: ARTORIAS OF THE ABYSS Edition
version = v1.0.2.1 October.2013 Japanese
offsetResolutionCheck = 0x24502D
offsetAspectRatio = 0xE46AD8
offsetCodeCheck = 0xF3B33
offsetPokeByVersion = 0x7D7464

How to make plugin's dll. I found source code of WSF on github,but I couldn't find plugin code for DS.
I am beginner of programming,so I am in trouble over.What's the best way to go?

Hi Snow_Yk, I'm no expert either, but you may want to look at the in game PC settings. My DS:PTD splash screen looks just as yours but my aspect ratio is correct once in -game. My PC settings are:
Resolution 1920x1080
Frequency 59hz
Full screen off
AA off
Motion blur off
My WSF r693 settings: Auto detect resolution
Hope this helps!

Other version except Steam version are not supported and thus the fix will not work.

Hey guys,

it's been a while. Looks like there was an update for Dark Souls today (Steamworks support, yay!) but the Widescreen Fix from Helifax seems to have stopped working. Any chance for an update?

Thanks a lot!

The move to steamworks broke a bunch of mods, namely DSFix. A lot of them have already been patched though. It shouldn't require any real changes, just addressing offsets.

His last visit was at 14 Dec 2014, 15:30 (and same to HaYDeN - Last visit: 27 Nov 2014, 05:16).

Let us be patients.

You are true to your words for sure. Even though I'm not up and running yet, I'm donating.

If someone can confirm this is working, please post. I have spent several hours working on the notorious "black screen" problem.

Things I've tried:
I have read the entire forum thread
WSF versions (r729, r662),
clean installs of Dark Souls without DSfix
clean install of DS with latest DSFix 2.3.1 (DSFix works fine BTW, disabled HUD mods as recommended)
Fullscreen bezel corrected
Windowed bezel corrected
I've tried DS with GFWL
I've tried DS Beta with Steamworks

No matter what I do, My WSF doesn't recognize the game is running (if I alt tab out an view it, "game running: no, fix enabled: no." ) Therefore, black screen, but I can hear the game running in the background.

BTW, I use StarDock Fences to manage my icons in surround. Is this a bad idea? It doesn't cause trouble elsewhere as far as I can tell.

One last question, I'm using 3 samsung HDTVs, with HDMI to display port adaptors. Is this a troublesome setup?

Windows 8.1, Surround 5888x1080, GTX 980 SC SLI, i7 3770 @4.4mhz

That is a weird thing... the "game is working" part should detect the game by the exe filename.
When the game is running do you see DATA.exe as part of your processes? (in Task Manager).

You should use WSF v.662 with this fix.
The fix only addresses the Dark Souls part that still works with the GWFL. (Didn't know there is a beta version).

The plugin is looking for DATA.EXE executable that is part of the game. Did you try to run WSF as administrator?
I haven't tried it on Windows 8.1 (I am still using Windows 7 since Windows 8.1 has serious problems with 3D Vision). That might also be a problem ? (But, it should still detect the EXE....)

Are you using a legit Steam Copy of the game?

Thanks for the fix heli!

It seems that if you have the framerate unlocked with DSfix version 2.3.1, the game will crash when you attempt to load a charecter and go in-game. Not sure why this is, but that's the only feature in DSfix that will crash the game.

Thanks for efforts Helifax.

DS is moving away from now defunct GFWL. From what I gather, come February, DS will no longer have GFWL attached at all. The beta represents the transition. Therefore, I imagine a fix for steamworks (presently the beta) would have more longevity than the GFWL version.

Legit steam copy. The executable is now called Darksouls.exe. I remember the old DATA.exe, but it seems to not exist with this latest update. Clearly that's where atleast part of my problem lies.

My christmas wish would be WSF working with steamworks DS with framerate unlock via DSfix. Thanks again.

Yes,
I noticed DSFIX 2.2 has an issue with the Framerate unlock part. It is possible we are writing in the same memory locations and thus overlap making the game crashing....
I tested with DSFIX 1.9 and the framerate unlock is still working... (For reference)

Currently the fix is still addressing the version of the game that is using GFWL. Since the other one is a Beta and thus not a final release (that might change quite a bit between now and February) I've decided not to fix it.
In February when we have the final version of the Steamworks version, I will update the plugin to work with that version;)

I want to prevent any "fix breaks" as long as I can;))

Thank you very much for the update, helifax :-)

As far as I understood it, From Software are just using the "Beta" functionality of Steam to deploy the new version in parallel to the old GFWL version and it is not actually a Beta. Once the grace period is over, the GFWL version will be removed and just the Steam Workshop version remains.

The transfer of my saves from GFWL to Steam Workshop didn't work for me, so I'm afraid that if I roll a new character now, it will be lost as soon as the GFWL version is completely removed.

How jealously do you guard your source code helifax? If you were willing to let me fork it, I'd be more than glad to help with the beta version on a seperate dev branch (this is exactly the kind of situation forks were made for!).

If not, that's fine--I can perfectly understand you not wanting random strangers sniffing around your source, especially for a project this cool. The modularity is solid, you really did a bang up job.

Cant wait for the final fix, im sure this will be the last update Dark Souls 1 is ever going to get, its going to be awesome that the triple screen functionality will be preserved forever now

Also, could you please look into Dark Souls 2, its been broken since Feb 3 with the last DS 2 update, thanks

Interesting...
I didn't expect people to actually be really interested in this game so much (I even get e-mails regarding the fix).
Currently I have a very busy schedule so the only ETA I can give is "It will be done eventually".... Eventually means I don't know when...
Don't get me wrong or anything but you are asking me to go back and update a plugin that I wrote like 2 years ago which suffered an overhaul lately.
Doing this takes time and I don't get any benefit from it, while the time actually spent on my projects makes me money...
Take it as you want.
I am all PRO for open-source and community helping and so on but not on my time and on "my wallet"

So, It will be done...eventually:)

As someone with a family this makes complete sense.

What amount would be appropriate remuneration for your services here? I might start a fund drive with other members here to get Dark Souls 1 and 2 fixed.

Don't get me wrong or anything;)) It might have sounded a bit weird. Thing is I am committed to other projects currently (with a dead-line) and I can't afford not to meet those timers. I will give it a quick look over the weekend and if is an easy fix/update I will do it and release it;))
If not, it will need to wait a bit more unfortunately.
If you or anyone else wants to donate, me and all others welcome donations. My Paypal account is as always in my signature;)
I wanted to say this since I don't want to give the impression that I am asking for money to update a fix that I've already released in the past as free:)

I managed to give it a quick look (around 15 minutes) in the weekend and was able to update 50% of the fix. I still need to update the HUD centering part (which is the most complicated stuff in the fix anyway). I will try to give it a look in the following days and hopefully will not take long to fix it;))

OK,
I've managed to finish updating the fix.
You can grab it from my website here : http://3dsurroundgaming.com/WSF.html
As before it require DSFix, etc...
It requires the latest version of DS from Steam (with SteamWorks).

Hope it works for everyone;))

Cheers!!!!!!

Thanks!! Could it be that I just can't find the new fix? The one I can find seems identical to the previous fix: http://3dsurroundgaming.com/img/Plugins ... dition.rar

I was able to get it full screen, once. But the resolution was smeared. Where should I read how to do this? I pasted DSfix 2.4. Could it be that I should get a newer DS? Mine was downloaded mid February.

Dark Souls is working again in 21:9 thanks for the update you need both S Fix 2.4 + Widescreen Fixer running at the same time though but looks glorious to me again. Do not think the game will be updated anymore so this should be the last time hopefully!

Is anyone able to confirm if it is possible from them to run the game in for instance a 5:4 or 1:1 aspect ratio on a single monitor? I'd love to run the game in a tall aspect ratio (for screenshots) at very high resolutions, but for some reason it's not working as I want it to. I used to be able to get it all to work, using WSF v662 and the older Dark Souls plugin, but for some reason or other, I now always get either a stretched or squashed image.

Anyone?

Dude, could you please post your settings for DSFix and WF? Something is messed up on my end. Either the image is stretched so much horizontally that I can't see what resolution I'm changing the game to or everything is just black. The sound is still there and I can navigate the menu so I can load into a save but it's very low res and all sorts of messed up.

FYI for those one-screen 3440x1440 people - Helifax's and Hayden's fix works for those now too.
Running Windows 8.1 x64
Running latest version of DSPTDE
Running DSFix 2.4 w/ resolution at 3440x1440
Running WSFixer .662 set at 1 screen 3440x1440 with latest plugin from Helifax

When you start with WSFixer running, after the "FROM software" screen, everything will go black. Not to worry, turn off WSFixer (* key default). When screen appears again, go to setting and set at 3440x1440 resolution and hit ok. Screen will go black again. Don't worry, just hit * again. and hit ok to lock it in before it resets.
Now when you boot up, you should always be good to go without any fiddling at that resolution as long as WSFixer is running. I occasionally have had a few hiccups when screens load but it always fixes itself by hitting * a time or two.
Helifax and Hayden, you are awesome. Thank you.

I hope I'm not asking something answered elsewhere, I've skimmed this post and read through the last few pages, I think I've done everything I'm supposed to but I'm still not having any luck. My problem is similar to ryguy76 describing as above but the solution doesn't work.

I am running the Steam version on Windows 7 64 (I don't know about SteamWorks but what I found out just relates to developers, is that relevant? I also can't find the version number of DS, but it is just downloaded from Steam) I have an Eyefinity 7700 3840x1024 setup. I am running DSFix 2.4 with the config set to renderWidth 3840 and height to 1024. I have also tried all the suggested settings for dofOverrideResolution (0 crashes the game, I get the same results as below for the others). I am running Widescreen fixer 736, with the latest Plugin. It is set to version 1.0.5. AA is switched off

WSF fix says it is working ok, but I just get a blank screen with an Eggtimer Mouse Cursor flashing on and off. When it loads I can see a Dark Souls logo on the LHSide. I have access to controls and I can hear the menu sounds. It started as Windowed, I pushed it into 1280x1024 fullscreen, then forced it into 3840. I tried the forceFullscreen setting and with WSF on it is blank and without the graphics are vertical bars.

Any help appreciated.
Steve

Hi, thanks for the response, yes, the plugin came from the link you provided. I am using a later version of WSF (736 and not 662) , however this is what was linked to on the website. I will try the earlier version.
Thanks,

Hi, I tried reverting back to version 662 but it does not work properly. The version of DSPTDE it is set for is only version 1.0.1. and it does not recognise the latest version 1.0.5 when the game starts. Any more help would be appreciated.

Thanks again

I can confirm with Leatherman that WSF r736 only has support for DSPTDE version 1.0.1.. I also used the posted plugin but to no avail. There seems to be a beta version 2.0 coming out.

I can't seem to understand what the problem is really:-s
You need r662 + plugin from my website as seen in the image:

It will not work with other version of WSF due to changes in the API.

It appears that the last update of the WSF only works with "-dsptde-2.0 Steam Build 2.0", and that is the problem.

Sorry, my steam is in portuguese, but still, you can see the point

The new update of which he is speaking, it was not released to download for this version "dsptde-2.0 Steam Build 2.0". Apparently, no one is using it anymore.
All the people are on the main public branch now, and also, there is important thing in this version: an anti-cheater mod
(DSPW: http://steamcommunity.com/app/211420/di ... 1052638501 / # p61) that only works with the main public branch.
So, i guess that's it. Back to 16:9 window mode again XD

When you have time, please, take a look on this, Helifax.
Thank you. =)

Right! So they made some changes when they pushed the Steam Build 2.0 to the main branch.
I really start to hate this game...

) So many freaking updates that I literally lost the count on how many times I re-fixed the "fixed"

)

I'll give it a look in the weekend;)) when i'll have some time....

Thx for the feedback:)

By the way, check if your fix will work with the DSPW (Dark Souls PVP Watchdog) mod.
It is an anticheater mod, and it has a sticky thread in the steam forum.
Link here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/211420/di ... 052638501/)

Quote:

What it can do?
This tool can detect the most common forms of online cheating, such as fake soul level, modded stats, modded hp and a few hundreds of hacked equips / items / spells / whathaveyou, allowing you to kick the offending player out of your session. it can also prevent many dangerous effects being applied to you, such as curse, egg-head parasite infection, teleporting, and the likes.
It can also show you how many nodes are currently connected to your lobby / pool, should you desire so - edit dspwsteam.ini accordingly. it will also fix the infamous namecrash bug.

I did not have time to test it with the WSF fix, but it's just a mod that uses some .dll files like "d3d9.dll", so, i don't know if that would have anything to do with the WSF fix.

This is very important, because it's highly recommended to use this mod, as much as the DSfix.

and thank you, again. =)

Hey guys,

After some tinkering with DSFix 2.4 and WSF 662, I've been able to bypass the black screen issue and got Dark Souls to render 3440x1440p, but I'm not sure if I've set it up correctly.

Is it just me, or does this image just look like its being stretched? http://s17.postimg.org/fzckr50e7/2015_12_25_00002.jpg

Any feedback or guidance appreciated.

EDIT: Never mind, changed resolution in WSF and DSFix to 5120x2160 and it looks fantastic, no longer stretched at all.

Does anyone have the file Plugin.DarkSouls.rar? for WSFixer? It seems that the attachment on Page 6 has been removed/expired.

If not, is there a reason Flawless Widescreen doesn't have Dark Souls on it? I can see DSII etc but nothing for the original or the prepare to die edition?

The original Dark Souls was fixed by me and Hayden. Fixing the hud was a pain... The fix only made in Widescreen Fixer and not in Flawless Widescreen.
The reason is not in FWS is simply: My fix does additional stuff only for this game that FWS doesn't support via LUA.
