Widescreen Gaming Forum

After a lot of trial and error I finally got the game to actually display the image let alone let me select and keep 2560x1080 but the image is squished.

The beta update is in, AA turned off, and ingame res set to 2560x1080. WidescreenFixer recognizes the game and its settings are setup to detect the resolution automatically and the DS plugin from 3dsurroundgaming is applied. DSfix2.4 is in and renderwidth/height are set appropriately.

Here's a screenshot: It looks fine at first but there's subtle stretching

I have been setting up Dark Souls to play on a 21:9 resolution, and I think the game only supports 16:9 stretched to 21:9.

It used to work fine before the new beta patch


Some old screenshots that I took

Well I finally managed to fix the stretching so in case somebody stumbles along in here looking for a fix here's how to get rid of the stretching. In dsfix set your downsampling res to a multiple of 2560x1080, in my case 5120x2160, and then in widescreenfixer uncheck automatic resolution detection and type in 5120x2160 in all the boxes.

I tried that out to see if I could get it working on my system, but I'm not sure if I did or not. The screenshot I took ended up in 16:9, so I think it may still be stretched. Are you using the beta steam verison?

yeah I've got the steam beta update.

Just to summarize:

Get the beta update
Disable aa
Get widescreenfixer
Get the dark souls plugin for wsf here http://3dsurroundgaming.com/WSF.html overwrite
get dsfix and set your resolution renderwidth/height to a 21x9 one
select your ingame resolution to match (if the screen goes blank press left arrow then enter)
exit
launch wsf select the latest version, uncheck automatic resolution detection, type your res manually into the boxes


no need for downsamploing stuff like I thought earlier, it works with native just the same.

Got it! For others who many want to try this, you need to have the game in fullscreen mode. It won't work if you set DSFix to run the game in borderless fullscreen. The hud looks stretched to me, but I'm not 100% sure if it is or not.

That's definitely a stretched HUD, neighbor. Not that badly though.

Enable the hud mod in dsfix and play with the size

It's not horrible, but it looks pretty big in game.

You can only really adjust the size if the HUD, not much else. I wish there was a way to make it just display in 16:9 or something.

Looks good here with hudmod and it isn't stretched
