Just write the sequence on keyboard when you have the 80 selected. What program are you using for editing?

Works, but i got black bars again

after find this......
personnal tips for nvdia surround and eyefinity :

1: lock your "GraphicsConfig.xml" windowed and select same resolution win /full put the file read only !
2: edit DarkSoulsIII.exe change only value 1920::1080 "hexa 800700003804 to your resolution..ex 5760::1080 " 801600003804 "
3: launch game.....is windowed but 5760:1080 run match and in game go to option select fullscreen ! is work but....
the external screens are not completely filled a black gray halo ...do you have an idea why ? the effect corresponds to the option "vignette" in sweetfx........
dont use reshade or sweetfx..may be that activation of this allows to remove it, but I doubt it
re help !!!!!!

despite all this is much better no ?

I precise this is not the famous black bands

Thank you Martan & Armin1702

it works's perfectly!



Used HxD's replace function using hex-values and replaced 800700003804 with 000A00003804

I actually recommend going back to fullscreen once you have it "glitched", it will most likely improve performance and it will stay glitched until you restart the game.

Can you post a screenshot related to this issue?
It's funny I tried this among the first things;) but it never worked. I never thought of making it work in Window Mode and that it will "STICK" in fullscreen afterwards;)

Awesome job nevertheless;)

OK from following the tips here I have it working on my acer 3440 x 1440 Predator, thank you!!!!. Im not sure if i was reading a step incorrectly but i had to do one last thing to get it to work. From the beginning: I used the hex editor to change the value to 70 0D 00 00 A0 05 for 3440x1440. In app data i changed the line to WINDOW and set the resolution to 3440 x 1440.
Once i had done that I saved the file and ticked read only, launched Windowed Borderless gaming, then started Dark Souls 3. It starts in windowed mode, I go to options and check the resolution is correct, drop out of the menu and continue a game. Once in game still windowed I click on Windowed Borderless Gaming and selected add window, click on the dark souls window and press f3.

At this point it's still in windowed but squashed even more and I go into the options in game and select FULLSCREEN, once done i'm at my bonfire in glorious ultrawide!. I know it's been said already and your wondering why im posting the exact same thing but im doing it as much for myself to refer to later if i cant replicate it! i'm just really glad it's done. Thanks again guys.

YOU ARE ALL GODS TY YOU ALL,1) HEX change, then go window mode then full and im 21:9 full screen no black bars fuck yea boys, also
config><
ScreenMode>FULLSCREEN</ScreenMode>
<Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>2560</Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>
<Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>1080</Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>
<Resolution-FullScreenWidth>2560</Resolution-FullScreenWidth>
<Resolution-FullScreenHeight>1080</Resolution-FullScreenHeight>
<Auto-detectBestRenderingSettings>OFF</Auto-detectBestRenderingSettings>
change them 2

Awesome work guys! By following the instructions posted here, I got it working aswell

https://i.imgur.com/3rumuEt.jpg

THANK YOU GUYS! This fix worked great for me in 3440x1440. Only quirk is that you have to reset to fullscreen in the options every time you restart the game, but a small price to pay for getting it to work properly.

Same! Works perfectly with 3440x1440.

And now the big question: Do we dare use this while playing online?

Sorry guys Hex editor noob here when I try to change 800700003804 to 700D0000A005 for 3440x1440 in Hex Workshop I use Find to find the first value and then change it to the new value? Am I doing this correctly? Also when I change the .xml file do I need to input everything with spaces in between each letter like it is listed in the file?

Nvm I got it working. Thanks guys

I adjusted the executable file. I changed the configuration and set read-only mode. I run the game in windowed mode, and then turned on the full screen, and here and there were bands. download exe and cfg file here

So excited to here that a fix for Ds3 to 21:9 is working well- When will there be something available for us Non-Savvy users IE - ME ha ha.
I have a Acer Predator X34 running at 3440x1440 playing Ds3 with bars in full screen mode ! PLZ - Anybody 8)

yes... the effect is not too bad ! but prefer find good way for entire screen............

I wouldn't use it online, but I'd rather be on the safe side.

thanks to you I've got it too, a mighty .
with a little bit of difference - i have 5760*1200 and that was correspondingly counted in ResHex and successfully applied into HxD.
my number for resolution is " 80 16 00 00 B0 04 " - as for 5760*1200
also while starting in window mode game looks compressed and narrow but fullscreening it gives us complete eyefinity look.
and now for the beauty:




compressed window mode at start

The baked in vignetting you can only see in super ultrawide makes me think they wanted to support wider ratios. I don't know why else that would be there. It looks pretty cool.

Coming back to this thread after a full week and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for the fix Martan and Armin1702, it works great and isn't too complicated. Let me know if you guys use Paypal because I think a donation is deserved. I hope others agree with me here.

I'm still looking forward to a much more official fix from Kaldaien and anyone that he is working with. You all have my full support.

On another note, do any of you see an Ultrawide HUD fix being possible or would it be too difficult to find and implement?

PS: Screenshot in 2560x1080 with SweetFX/Reshade (works just fine!)

are you guys playing online with these changes?
I'm afraid to get banned, but i really want to play without letterboxes

I'm debating if i want to play online with it too.
I really think someone needs to contact From Software and get a stance on this.

It should be noted that playing offline may not even save people from soft-bans should they deem this ban-worthy. DS3 has a built-in anticheat that runs even when in offline mode.

I've played the whole evening online and everything is fine:)

I also played a lot of DS1 with WidescreenFixer and here I am still...
I also played a lot of DS2 with Flawless Widescreen and here I am still...

People don't understand that a modification like this that handles the RENDERER will never ever get flagged up. Now, if you use a trainer to get more souls or be invincible...that is another matter completely....

It's like you are asking: "Will I get banned cause I am using 800x600 and not 1920x1080 ?!?!" type of questions... I've never seen anyone getting banned for using ANY of the Widescreen Fixes found here! EVER!

There was one guy who said it was our fix that got him into trouble...in the end it proved he had a bit coin "farmer" running on his machine that was flagged up:))

Seriously people.... do some reading and learn a bit more! You are on the PC FOR F@ SAKE not some console crap where you don't care, just wanna play that game... ^_^

Helixfax, while I too have had 0 issues with widescreenfixer or flawless widescreen in the past, I've heard cases of DS2FIX resulting in quite a few people being put into the cheater-pool via softbans.

Now it could be that quite a few people were in fact cheating and decided to blame DS2Fix, I don't know. What I do know is FromSoftware never refuted the claim and did state that DS2fix was not an approved file.

The only issue with this current fix I can see is the fact that it requires editing the exe and therefore could easily be detected from a simple checksum. But hey, hopefully From Software isn't overly zealous.

Helifax, It's too soon to say if you'll be banned for using the .exe edit or not, and it doesn't matter if the hack only affects the renderer, either. If they can hash check the .exe and see that it's any different from the unmodified one, they'll have reason enough to do something about it. They're not going to pick and choose based on what people are modifying via hex editors, they won't be able to know that anyway, they'll just go by the fact it's modded at all.

Something else to consider is that due to the nature of soft-bans, it's pretty hard to know at an instant if you've been banned or not. Heck, I'd imagine some go their entire time with a game without realizing that they're being penalized.

The guide that Martin and Armin posted does not work for me, however I did realise there was an update, does this still work for everyone? Or did I manage to mess up?

Solkrieg, it worked for me. I'd check to make sure you're using the correct values.

Well, I did a refresh reboot and did everything I did before and now it works. Thanks for your help for making me go back and do it all again heh (was going to post pictures to make sure I did everything correctly because I've never hex-edited anything before).

Ok, so I don't like stuffing around with more than i have to so i did this step and launched the game and 2560x1080p in borderless mode was now selectable. Chose that and restarted. 21:9 was working. Switched to fullscreen and 21:9 still works.

After repeated testing all you have to do is make the change above once ever and make sure you select window mode 2560x1080p borderless mode before closing the game so next time it launches in borderless mode 2560x1080p then just switch to full screen and done... Or you can just make the above change and set the games config file in app data to read only and not have to worry about exiting the game in bordered mode ever again.

Cheers for figuring this stuff out to everyone that contributed. Much more enjoyable game now.

mick50008, If you prefer to play in FULLSCREEN your best shot is to.

Find your GraphicsConfig.xml (C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII)
Make it launch in WINDOW screenmode and also enter your prefered UWD resolution:

'Lock' the file using ReadOnly parameter.

Every time you launch the game just go to in-game settings and change to Fullscreen


All the credit goes to someone named prouha from Steam. He initially posted what should we look for I just test it for 2560x1080 and posted here, later we find out that it works with this FULLSCREEN trick switch

This is what I found about DS2 and soft-bans. Now, modifying your stats and such is considered a CHEAT and I can understand that. Not a big problem for me actually as I hate being invaded over and over again;)) For example last night when I was invaded by 3 guys in the same time around the Cathedral of the Deep;)
I also think that soft-bans are related to your character/save-file and not account-wise. (although people say is account based...)

In any case, as with all MODS, they are and never will be officially supported. But, I've never ever seen a company to ban you for mods that are handling only the renderer (post-processing, rendering details, etc).

It is debatable, but from what I saw so far, there isn't anything to worry about if you play CLEAN and Fair-Play;) Of course this is open for debate;)
I just wanted to share my experience with this:)

I'm with Helifax, just play online and viva la vida loca

I am little capable, someone who is able may publish a guide with pictures and links used program of how to make a video would be nice, thank you to all m i apologize for my lack of ability

or the already modified executable files

What's your problem ?

For some reason nothing works for me. I've used hex editor and modded ds3.exe which allows for 3440x1440 to show up in the windowed res options in dark souls resolution options , I've edited the file in appdata to window , I use window borderless gaming and add window using F3 . Whenever ds3 starts it always starts in full screen and not windowed even tho I've set the config to window....... And whenever I put it to window mode it goes to a crazy res of 1680x945 ??? Where is that coming from ??

the program used to modify executable, and how it works, where to find it.

I know this is an odd request, but is there any way to stretch the hud for 21:9? I got the hex edit patch working, but now I want the hud to span the screen even if it's stretched.

Im with you stra1, im terrible at modifying this kind of stuff.

Regarding the softbans, I played all of Dark Souls 2 with Flawless widescreen and got softbanned not for using it but because I have 2 computers, and the game doesnt support cloud saves, I forgot to copy my save one time and opened the game in my second computer which had a ton of levels less than my main save, and they banned me for that for a couple of weeks.

May I ask how you can be sure that it was the saves that got you soft-banned? I used a shoddy 3rd party cloud save program for DkS2 and I don't think I ever got soft-banned for it. Also, I wasn't aware the bans could be temporary.. How did you know it was lifted? My understanding is that once you're soft-banned, you're placed in a pool with other folks who've been soft-banned and can only match with them.

Here are the modified DS3.exe's

DarkSoulsIII_2560x1080_v_1.03.1

<Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>1080</Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>

Mark the xml as "Read Only"

Hi guys, I can't seem to find the GraphicsConfig.xml file.

The appdata folder does not appear under user/name. Instead, it appears under user/default.migrated/appdata, but there's no Dark Souls III folder there. Does anyone know where else I could find the folder and file?

Either activate "Show hidden files and folders"

or

Type/paste "AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII" when you select the address bar in Explorer, enter it after your name:

Possible solution with 1680x1050 resolution (16:10) ?

Here for 3440x1440 21:9

0) Open your hex editor i use xvi32 and locate dark souls 3 exe (backup first before modifying)

1) HEX
Find this HEX string:
80 07 00 00 38 04

Change it to:
70 0D 00 00 A0 05

2) WINDOW mode
Make the game run in windowed mode, either going in game settings or change the GraphicsConfig.xml (C:\Users\YourNAME\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII) This folder might be hidden.
Set the .xml file to read only after modifying

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?>
<config><ScreenMode>WINDOW</ScreenMode>
<Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>3440</Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>
<Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>1440</Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>
<Resolution-FullScreenWidth>3440</Resolution-FullScreenWidth>
<Resolution-FullScreenHeight>1440</Resolution-FullScreenHeight>
<Auto-detectBestRenderingSettings>ON</Auto-detectBestRenderingSettings>
<QualitySetting>HIGH</QualitySetting>
<TextureQuality>HIGH</TextureQuality>
<Antialiasing>ON</Antialiasing>
<SSAO>HIGH</SSAO>
<DepthOfField>HIGH</DepthOfField>
<MotionBlur>HIGH</MotionBlur>
<ShadowQuality>HIGH</ShadowQuality>
<LightingQuality>HIGH</LightingQuality>
<EffectsQuality>HIGH</EffectsQuality>
<ReflectionQuality>HIGH</ReflectionQuality>
<WaterSurfaceQuality>HIGH</WaterSurfaceQuality>
<ShadeQuality>HIGH</ShadeQuality>
</config>

3) Start game Go options --> select fullscreen (you need to do this thing every time you restart the game)

Also thanks for making this possible

Remember you must launch it everytime in Windowed mode, so in your config there must be:
<config><ScreenMode>WINDOW</ScreenMode>

When the game has launched in Window, you can press ALT+ENTER to get it easily to Fullscreen (without the need to go to menu and setting it there manually everytime)

Also you must check that the config file - GraphicsConfig.xml is set to be ReadOnly, in it's file properties (right click that file, tick ReadOnly, press OK)
This is because it will not get modified by any action in-game, so it would break the first launch in Windowed mode.


Lynko
For the 1680x1050 you can try the same procedure.

You need to swap any resolution HEX string existing for Windowed mode, with this HEX string which represents 1680x1050:

nice job, very nice

send me your paypal, i would like donate $ for this work.

I managed with only fear and ban vac hopefully good

thank you all for your patience and help

The vignetting/blackening in nvidia surround 5760 by 1080 is driving me insane. I tried using a few reshade presets offline to get rid of this but to no avail, although I have not used reshade before and I may be missing something. Anyone have any solution for surround users please?

thank you for gratitude :
"All the credit goes to someone named prouha from Steam. He initially posted what should we look for I just test it for 2560x1080 and posted here, later we find out that it works with this FULLSCREEN trick switch [/quote]

prouha in steam...chichi007 in widescreen

How bad is the vignetting? No way to remove it?

How exactly can I get this to run in 5:4 aspect ratio? (1280x1024)

hello I have done everything you said , and change the .exe file in the config window mode, but the game goes into full screen alone when I click on the main screen and starts 1920/1080 when I put the game returns to 3440x1440 16/9
I play on Windows 10 on an acer predator x 34

Hex edit: Go to --> ...\steamapps\common\DARK SOULS III\Game\DarkSoulsIII.exe
Look for 800700003804 and change it to 000A00003804 (2560x1080) or to 700D0000A005 (3440x1440)

INI edit: Go to --> C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII\GraphicsConfig.xml
Change to this Values for 3440x1440
<config><ScreenMode>WINDOW</ScreenMode>
<Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>3440</Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>
<Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>1440</Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>
<Resolution-FullScreenWidth>3440</Resolution-FullScreenWidth>
<Resolution-FullScreenHeight>1440</Resolution-FullScreenHeight>

Make the File under Properties READ-ONLY

Start the Game and in the Menu press ALT + RETURN (makes the Game Fullscreen and HOR+)

excuse the trouble, but you're playing online or offline, in your opinion and securely online, you do not risk vac ban?

I don't think there will be any bans - helifax tried to explain see Page 10 http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.ph ... 4&start=90

_________________
CZARMAN aka 彼得爸爸

Well, I just saw this:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/374320/di ... 783582436/ and I was even more afraid.

I'll wait.
I think now, only time can tell us whether someone will be banned or not.

I've only tried it offline, now I can not risk, I more than 70 titles, would be a tragedy for me, too bad now that I managed to get it going I was happy like a child on Christmas morning, damn FromSoftware what it cost them to support 21:9

welp that was scary.

I just played with the modded exe for 21:9 and I couldnt connect to the servers at all, I thought I was softbanned for sure.

Recovered my original exe and Im online again, maybe it was just bad luck but Im too scared to try again, what a shame that they might banning for this, I played 3 hours in 21:9 and it was glorious

Maybe if someone releases a fix that actually works in memory injection after the CRC checks at the beginning, instead of outright changing the exe.

oh well.

Is that even possible? Anyway, guess i won't be playing Dark Souls III in UWS, at least not in the first weeks when they're out on the hunt for anyone not using the vanilla. I even saw reports of People getting banned for using NVIDIA Shadowplay... Srsly, don't the guys at FROM have someting better to do???

Honestly Im not too versed in programming but over the years there have been fixes that you can toggle on and off and some of them even required being toggled on after a certain period of time. Not sure if that would be possible though.

All the reports are really scaring me though, they seem to be banning people for modded exes but not people who modify stats in memory using Cheat Engine, what a joke.

All of this reminds me Grand Theft Auto V Online.
You can not use anything there ...

play offline in 21:9 is very very safe, I play 5-6 hours pvp in 21:9.. no problems for me.

I saw that there was some routine steam maintenance that kicked a bunch of people offline earlier, maybe you just got caught up in that. If you were banned I doubt it would allow you to just jump back on online after switching back to the original .exe.

If anyone is scared, I've been using the modified exe for two days now with plenty of online interaction (invasion, etc) and nothing has happened.

The ban is attached to your steam ID and it pops up a message if you've been banned. That sounds like just a random connection issue.

Has anyone using the fix been banned? From what people are saying in the reddit thread it sounds like it's looking at save data and maybe Borderless Widescreen Gaming, both of which seem plausible from the way their anti-cheat worked in DS2.

I'll be the guinea pig for anyone that is worried about playing online. I'm running the .exe that Martan posted earlier (Thank you very much by the way) and I'm also running a Reshade to go with it. Been running the reshade online since day one and haven't had any problems.

So i'll check back here every couple of sessions and we'll see what happens. Maybe some others that have been running the .exe can check up as well to put some at ease.

Maybe I'll see you online

How insulting is it that they release a game with no 21:9 support when it was such a simple line of code they could have altered to get it working, then someone figures it out for them and we start playing it.. in the correct aspect ratio *shock horror, we can't have people using correct aspect ratio's* so they start banning us for it? Get outta here.

Not that I endorse it, But basically they are saying if you want to play dark souls 3 in wide screen you are better off torrenting it so you have no chance of getting a vac ban.

Let's not start confusing and confounding VAC bans with From Software's anticheat.
You can not. no matter what. get VAC banned from it. DS3 does not use VAC.

Still using this fix as well. At the rate that these 'softbans' are being reported (corrupted save, cheat engine, controller software, borderless gaming) it seems that the softban server might end up being bigger than the non softban.

Looking through all 2000 posts on reddit, there doesnt seem to be a reported softban for the 21:9 fix, but this might be because the fix is only about half a week old, and perhaps they sifted through their server data somewhere between 1.03 and 1.04 when this fix wasnt available? I dont know, I may be just shooting crap.

With alot of these things, time will tell, I have weighed it up though on the basis that I do get softbanned. The pros of playing in 21:9 quite simply outweigh the negatives of losing access to the 'legit' side of the DS3 servers. I simply cannot stand the black borders.

Hell I have played through DS2 and DS2 SOTFS using FW and a number of other graphical mods and I might have been softbanned but did not know it. Did it impact my gaming experience? I dont think so.....ignorance was bliss.

Just played several hours with the .exe with no issues. Played PvP for several hours, even fought a few streamers.
I've been using a reshade since day one and I've got 50 hours on my character so i'm guessing those are ok.

Been playing the game normally online after the widescreen fix was discovered. Played PVP, Summoned randoms, Got summoned by randoms. No bans or any other problems and the game looks glorious.
Perhaps its the same as DS2 SOTFS i always used flawless widescreen to get rid of the black bars and never got banned.

I only got one concern tho.. What happens when the game updates? Does the update fail because of modified ds3.exe or do we just apply the fix again?

I've been using a modified .exe for The Witcher 3 so I can get cutscenes in 21:9 using this same hex edit method and for every update the .exe needs to be remade. Maybe it's different here but presumably it's the same.

What would be the hex value for triple screens??? can someone share the number or better yet how to calculate myself???

thanks

Also using the modified .exe fix since it was posted and haven't been banned, or warned. Someone on the bandai forum was able to test and reportedly prove that bans happen if you play offline, progress, then go online.. which is truly a hilarious cheat detection engine, if true.

If anything changes and I get a warning, I'll followup and post again but this feels like coincidental timing not related to the fix found here.

I have a question about this. Where does that string come from that you replace the original with?

I'm trying to figure out how to apply it to other resolutions\aspect ratios but I'm not sure how to generate the string for them.

All softbans regarding Dark Soul II and SOTFS where reported regarding manipuilating the savefile, or using cheat engine. Just don't use cheat engine or mess with the save file.

Thanks to the community for figuring out a fix for Surround/Eyefinity and 21:9 users.

guys can someone tell how how you get the hexadecimal number for the different resolution? I want to run at 6400x1080 but i dont know how to calculate the hex number to add to the exe

The most common Values are here: http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=19462

You can use the ResHex Calculator to get you des. resolution if it is not listed there:

Thanx for making this possible, works great on my 3440x1440 screen.
Hopefully we do not get banned for using this "fix".

An interesting observation is that the game does not update the game world as often at the edge of the screen the same as those within 16:9 part of screen.
You can see this if you have mobs wandering and have them visible at the edge of the screen. The mob stops moving and is teleported around now and then at least I could see this on some mobs that were some distance away.

Just checking in here again, it's now been 4 days (15ish hours of play over those days) ever since I started using the fix, still no bans.

v1.03.1
2560*1080

i use HxD hext

How did not get rid of the triple monitor vignetting I am plagued with? Edges of both peripheral screens are very dark in first area. Seems to be better in the Undead settlement but that is where I am at the moment. Many thanks

Thank you for linking to the hex calculator, it worked really well.



How do get the black borders to go away, mine looks like this, its really annoying....

I have the black stuff too.



but not here. Seems that in some parts of the game there is no black border.

I see, its very annoying, hopefully someone can figure it out, maybe its just a texture that can be deleted or replaced with a transparent one.

Don't work for me the game launch 1920*1080 and i Edit in 3440*1440

Did you hex edit it FFguigui?

It looks like the fix isn't working for me. The game runs in 5760x1200, but there are letter boxes on the side screens and I am being forced to play on 16:9 aspect ratio. I hex edited the .exe file, but it didn't work.

Anyone?

I also first ran it in windowed mode, but the black bars still appear! Can someone help out?

I'm having this same issue. The game launches in fullscreen 1920x1080 instead of windowed mode. Even when it set it to windowed mode at 5760x1200 there are still black bars present.


EDIT: It seems that no matter what setting I have, as long as the GraphicsConfig file is set to read-only, the game will refuse to use the config file and WILL revert back to default settings (1920x1080 fullscreen and HIGH graphics settings). So I'm not sure how everyone else was able to use the black bars fix considering the game won't use the config file once it's set to read-only...

EDIT 2: Well, I had spaces in between every letter and < > / in the config file for some weird reason, that was the problem and I got it working. Thanks to the community for the fix!

Minor little detail when running the game in nVidia Surround: in the beggining area, the FPS dips down to about 33 FPS when you walk on the shallow little river, then when you get back on land it goes back up to 60 FPS.

Same issue here. Did you manually remove all the spaces? I'm not sure why the formatting is the way it is.

So..when trying to calculate the number for my resolution using ResHex it gives me information but what do I do with it? None of these numbers are in the same format as the 800700003804 that I'm replacing? I get http://i.imgur.com/whzSN5C.png I had no issue using the 801600003804 number that was provided for 5760x1080, but this calculator isn't giving me a number I can use?

I wonder why the gentleman who posted the screenshot of surround without the vignette effect didn't type a single word or respond to anyone? I actually looks like he found a way to just force all the post effects off, which some will prefer I guess. I actually am not even bothered by the vignette in the slightest; it kind of matches the dark look I imagine when I think about the game. Still it would be better without it perhaps, and if even not for myself I'm sure most people don't love having so much screen real estate just unused. Not at the cost of all the post processing though. It can't be that difficult to dig into the archives to find a way to tweak some settings. It looks like the .BDT files are the assets, and the .BHD files are the config/index files. Just the same as before. So perhaps offzip then?

The 8016 needs to be replaced with 0C17. Everything else in that hex string should just be left alone.



Yeah hopefully someone can find a way to remove that effect, FromSoft over did that one.

Just checking back. Been playing non-stop since last post and no ban yet. Also, Fromsoft just went through and did a big ban wave. They even, accidentally, banned a few people using things like Shadowplay and other overlays. I guess we can conclude this is, more than likely, okay for now. I'm also using a ReShade, so presumable those are okay too.

Between the performance and the horrible Vignetting, I think im going back to playing on a single 21:9 screen instead of triple screen, Im barely able to keep constant 30fps with a AMD 290x/i5 3570k.

If it wasnt for the Vignetting I would put up with the performance but as it is, its not worth it.

Is there an enterprising individual who can figure a way to remove the vignetting?

I too had this issue - but I opened it in Wordpad first - closed it and tried using notepad instead and had no spaces etc :}

Had to finally join to say thanks for the work with the hex edit folks - even with the black fog on the sides its soooo much better :}

Do you notice how the vignetting disappears for a moment when you quit the game or fast travel from a bonfire. It is rather annoying that there is no disable vignette menu option. This shows that the game can render without this.

At the start of Undead settlement you can see the vignetting is gone/much better and you can enjoy glorious triple screen as it is meant to be.

However in most other areas the black shadowing on 1/2 of the peripheral screens are terrible...

Anyone has any ideas to resolve this issue please?

Is there a way to push the HUD to the sides of the screen?

Edit: Not sure if that matters, but I'm on 2560x1080.

As noted before, the Vignetting is some kind of "effect" they use in most of the game but its not there always.

I just made it to an area that doesnt have it AT ALL, and the game looks glorious, what a shame.

I think this might be able to do it but im not sure:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =663922936

Need to set:
HUDResX
HudResY
HUDOffsetX
HUDOffsetY

Accordingly. I have not tried, not sure if it works...

I already tried that fix from steam and it worked, but here is the issue:
I use Reshade / Sweetfx in all of my games to change their look and this fix requires me to overrite some of the files from Reshade.
And for me Reshade >> HUD Fix

Yeah, it makes the game look like a 21:9 monitor as times, with cutting off almost 1/2 of my side screens like mentioned.

I'm not an expert on editing game files, but it was mentioned that the effect is probably being controlled by a shader. Maybe someone would have to find exactly how the game's shaders are managed, and then remove it from there?

Here's hoping.
