Widescreen Gaming Forum

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?

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.

steveo6906 wrote: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.

Awesome! Good to know;)) Is as I thought:) I will update the plugin permanently so users can select the delay time for the plugin to start:)

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.

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.
