Dark Souls III - 21:9 Broken

[Jaykay78]

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 ??

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 ?

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

[Entonations]

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.

- modify your GraphicsConfig.xml (user/name/appdata/roaming/dark souls III) to:

<config><ScreenMode>WINDOW</ScreenMode>
<Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>2560</Resolution-WindowScreenWidth>
<Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>1080</Resolution-WindowScreenHeight>

Mark the xml as "Read Only"

[takriel]

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?

[Martan]

Either activate "Show hidden files and folders"
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows- ... ows-vista/

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) ?

[LordTohjo]

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

[Martan]

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:

Code: Select all

90 06 00 00 1A 04
