You guys are amazing, keep up the good work, I just tried it and it look amazing but it crashes after 5 seconds xlive.dll seems to be crashing.

[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

You guys are amazing, keep up the good work, I just tried it and it look amazing but it crashes after 5 seconds xlive.dll seems to be crashing.

Yeah I have verified it as well it crash after a few second, good luck Hayden and helifax. The HD fix is none intrusive and will not crash your game, so we can enjoy that in the mean time.

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

Fantastic news Helifax congrats on solving it, I can not wait to use it with the multi screen fix.

So excited, thank you so much guys, cant wait for the plug in :D

If it wasn't for this team, our triple head setups would be worthless. Donating!!!!!!

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...

Here here! This is the truth of the matter!

Very much looking forward to potential proper HUD!

I'll uncomment the GFWL detection removal in the plugin and push the update.

[edit] Now live, click Update plugins in Flawless Widescreen, do report back [/edit]

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;))

EDIT: Didn't saw the above post:)) Well now we have 2 fixes:D ^_^ Again! all credit goes to Hayden for his magnificent job!

re: the HUD - I have managed to scale it to one screen, but not move it right, it's kind of similar to KOA - very entwined in the engine.

Awesome! I know you'll get it, you always do.

Internal render fix + Widescreen fixer work great running at 5760x1080. Will be sending some donations to the appropriate parties come payday. You guys make my PC gaming.

I give up playing this game, mouse camera is way too jerky, and switching to a controller defeats the whole purpose of playing it on PC.

Is it possible to change/fix the FOV in this game? I'd gladly donate to someone who could make that happen.

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

16:10 original


16:10 with flawless widescreen

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



and change it to this:



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?

Code: Select all

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.
