Delete every file that is in the fix you still have. A lot has changed since then.
How do i know what files may be from previous versions and which are from the game? Care to list what should be in DATA in the vanilla game? Cause i think i may have some junk from previous DSfixes that i missed when updating, but i'm not sure now.

I see.
Well i hoped this could've been the reason (the extra junk) why the 60fps fix wouldn't work for me, but it still won't go.
Next thing will be a clean install of the game it think, but i don't really feel like re-downloading the game again, for now.
So i'll keep playing at 30-15 fps for the moment.

My guess is you're getting better performance because the game does not supersample in borderless windowed mode, so you're only actually rendering at your desktop resolution.
edit: I see you're using a 3rd party tool to help out with borderless windowed...that may influence things.
That's not true, with DSfix you can supersample while windowed. And DSfix handles borderless windowed mode by itself.
So I noticed that there now is a glitch with reflectionss not displaying properly in relation to your poison, that and asee through wall near the hungry hungry hippo.
Also I noticed my game looked horrible ever since I got a new 1080p monitor, turns out you select 16bit resolutions when going to the right. So I properly set it at 32 bit and the game never looked better
besides the aforementioned glitches)

Have you seen my screenshots, that i've posted yesterday? : )

I've used a tool to create a new screen resolution (1680*945) to avoid the stretching of the image, nothing else ^^. On a 16:9 monitor this procedure is unnecessary.
So... that said, i recommend the BMW without reservation, period.

Ok, so my Steam copy of the game won't launch now after I put in the 1.7 files. The Darksouls.exe is running in my processes, but nothing is coming up. I verified the integrity of the game cache and it's still not doing anything.
Edit: Nevermind, it now works somehow. Maybe the Windows update fixed it.

I am a bit confused by this:
My current vertical render solution is 1080 (playing in 1920*1080) - so I should fefrain from choosing 1080 as the "dofOverrideResolution"? Can I choose something above?

you should put 540.

Thank you. I'm pondering whether to increase the internal resolution to 2880*1620. Should I stick with 540 in that case?
i'm using 2880, looks great
You can really increase it to any theoretical resolution you want as long as you stick to 16:9.
In order to do this, divide the horizontal pixels by 1.777778 to get the vertical. Round up.
So, 1920/1.7777778 = 1079.99999865
Definitely try increasing the internal res. I get the same performance at that resolution and 1080. If you up your res, try 810 or 1080 for the DOF setting.

Cranked the internal resolution up to 3200*1800 and the DoF to 1080. Stable 30 fps so far.
You are doing it wrong.

Has any progress been made fixing all the problems 60fps introduces (falling through world geometry, animations potentially running at incorrect speed causing shorter jump/roll distances)?
No but the game is playable just fine. Go ahead.
Yet to see any evidence that jump/roll distance is actually effected, so I wouldn't worry.

I'm 100% sure it screws up movement on light loads a little. I always made that jump to Laito in Blighttown, 60 FPS, 4 tries, no good, switched back to 30 FPS, made it on first try.

I actually took it just a couple of days ago during my NG+ run and I didn't have any problem with it.

People having problems with the jump, you are aware there are more then 2 types of roll speeds right? unlike Demon Souls.
You can just log out of GfWL as well. It sends you back to the main menu, then you just log back in and start up where you left off.
So it looks like the bannings may happening for using the 60fps mode. Before I started playing, I had to accept the new terms and conditions. "No big deal" I thought, accepted and continued on my way. As I played, anytime I was in human form, I would keep getting a "Session Failed" message. Didn't think too much of that, as I thought it was just a routine failed invasion. When I finished playing, GFWL tried to log back in like it normally does, except this time I got a nice "Your multiplayer privileges have been blocked. Starting in offline mode." I'm not a cheater, nor am I playing on a pirated copy. The only thing I can think of is an update went out and they're finally cracking down. This really sucks

This seems more than a little ungrateful of From.
... wow.
wow for two reasons:
1. they're actually doing something on gfwl, which is what the fuck.
2. they're not actually looking into why or what people are doing.
2a. if they actually are banning for using the 60fps mod, they're awful shitheads who don't understand anything.

Just restart the game. I got the same message on consoles too about once or twice. On PC also once without the 60 fps fix. I think it's some broken Gold/Silver membership check.
That seems to be it! False alarm everyone! Sorry about that!
Guess I should've looked in here first before posting this in the main thread:
So, yeah, if others claiming to be banned got the same message (and I got it once I logged in post-Gold lapsing before the FPS fix) then I probably don't need to worry and will just keep waiting for updates to the FPS unlock to work out any issues. Though I also burnt myself out on Dark Souls so that'll be awhile.

I just reinstalled Dark Souls today and started having issues with grass, pillar, and other objects stretching until they reach the background no matter which patch I use despite never having issues in the past. I did update my video card drivers recently so that may be the issue, but I just wanted to find out if anyone has had the same problems that I'm currently having.

Gonna have to get my card replaced then. I was having issues with my video card over the summer because of my PSU was on the fritz, but it looks like it messed up my vid card too. Thanks for the info!

It might be a common issue. I have the same happening with kingseeker frampt from time to time (only saw this twice I think) and saw some other guy post the exact same screenshot a few weeks ago. My GPU is definitely not overheating.
I've had it appear once and only once, with Kingseeker Frampt as well.
I can assure you my card wasn't overheating... so it's got to be something else.
