Thanks for the clarification and I hope you fix the single-monitor issue in the future!

[quote]Whaat??? Noo I dont believe that! on my GTX 590 I dont get more than 40% gpu utilization... and I top 30fps in 3D Surround.... so something else is weird there with your setup.:-s are you sure you setup the internal renderer correct?

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 ...

Ah, thanks! Was about to try disabling Helixx's 3d patch to see if it was causing issues. Works great.

Anyone with Windows 8 tested the plugin with Dark Souls? If so please let me know if it worked or not:)

Thanks

Ok, I have been trying for hours to get the game to work at 5760x1080. I tried deleting the old plugin in wsf using winRAR and puting the new one in to no avail. It just will not let me. I have all the ini settings correct, and have the game accross my screens, just streched out though. I've been trying to get this working for about six hours, and im stumped.

Hey there. What OS are using? Win8 or Win7 ? Please give more details
Do you still see the Hud streched?

I am using win. 7 64 bit. Everything is streched out in game, including menus and the hud, and the hud is still on the side monitors. I have the res. fix installed and all ini. files and in game settings are set properly.

CY:G · Post by **CY:G** » 10 Sep 2012, 15:24

Something is wrong with the last version of Widescreen Fixer application, not the game's DLL, it is not applying the HUD fix at all, I just downgraded to V3.4.545 and it all works fine with the same Dark.Souls.dll

Post by **helifax** » 10 Sep 2012, 15:32

Ah yes. Don't use the latest Wsf yet. Use the attached plugin with an older version until it will be officially part of WSF.

Best regards,

Alright, I'll give it another go and see if I can get it going. Thank you

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

Post by **helifax** » 15 Sep 2012, 14:41

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.

Best Regards,
Helifax

Hi I got the latest version of wsf and replaced your plugin but everything its all stretch out and I can't find an older version of wsf. Could you be kind enough to offer me a link to a older version of wsf?

Thanks

Opps.. Indeed the latest plugin has a small problem... I updated it and now it should work. It will also officially be part of WSF very soon.

Cool it works but when i use the 1.4fix for the hud icon fix and stuff, all the menus gets all stretch out. And the weapon icons get duplicated on two different screens, Is there a way around it? It would be sweet if the mod can work with this.

Hey in Dsfix 1.4 disable any hud modifications and then it will work.
