I got a Gargoyle Helm from beating the Gargoyles? Never seen that drop before.

They have a chance to drop that. Their tails can be cut off to get Gargoyle Axe but you have to do it without lock on. Basically any boss with a tail, try to cut it without lock on.
 
Not sure if this has been said yet, but I noticed that if you go to a wall and get the camera right close to the character, it brings the blurry mess back again? Anyone noticed this?
 
I found it bro, i totally forgot about this simple thing:

Change your Format and Location to English(UK) and United Kingdom!
I now have DS running in English AND high resolution!
Cheers again for the fix man!

PS. 'schland?

where do i change this exactly?_?

thanks in advance!

PS:schland :)
 
So running 3840*2160 downscaled to 1080p halves my fps (to 15).
It's not even utilizing the gpu much.

I've tried bumping up all the settings in CCC but no dice.
Anyone know what i could try next? Gonna update drivers.

Running it on my clevo laptop (i7 620m, 5870m).

BUMP, Sry for the shameless bump but im am now considering Doing a fresh install, as i just remembered i had moved all my user Dir's off my primary drive a while ago which included some registry "hack" changes, and im thinking if no one has an answer this may be it!?

its ruins my frames on a 6950 aswell, so maybe its an ATI related problem?
 
Seriously I'm still impressed at how crisp the textures are. Resolution really did hide them. They are better than most PC games.

Yea i saw your post earlier, which is ridiculous.
I wonder if one should use radeon pro, but i dunno which would be the optimal settings.

Will have a go after driver update.
 
Framerate issues definitely sounds AMD related. I can put in whatever resolution I want and be at 30 on the dot, it won't budge whatsoever.
 
It'll be fun seeing the comments from all the people who haven't played it. Here's my tip: Making a mad dash for the Zweihander the moment you get to Firelink Shrine is the only way to play Dark Souls. Those skeletons can eat my dust!

Only seven more levels into Strength before I can use it one-handed!
 
The DoF fix may take longer than I thought. Trying a straightforward fix produces ghosting of distant stuff and artifacts.

JoeFenix said:
Are you trying to remove the DoF or have it render to a higher res buffer?
The latter.

The latter.

Take your time. And please, PLEASE, don't waste your time on the framerate. The game is perfectly fine in 30 fps and is really smooth enough and even more responsive than PS3 version.

I prefer the Claymore to the Zweihander, better R2 attack. :)

Great fix!
If the message bug can be resolved, and if it doesn't kill my FPS (still at work, can't try it yet), I'll be using it! <3
 
Dunno if this has been mentioned or maybe I am being dumb, but I can't seem to change the gestures I have in my palette. Don't know if its the texture mod or not.

It would probably be much harder to change the frame rate anyhow as that is changing how often the draw call's are called rather tahn changing the draw call like he is doing now.

Although feel free to prove me wrong!

Those are my laptop specs too, how is it running without the downscaling? I have the PS3 version but no point buying the PC one if its the same performance.
 
what does your cpu-usage look like?

I'm not who you're responding to, but I'll reply for the sake of more information. I ran a small test this morning, went ahead and swapped it up to 2560x1440.

My CPU is an i5 750 @ 4.0ghz
My GPU is a GTX 560ti, little bit overclocked as well.

I get a rock solid 30 through everything I've played, my GPU usage hovers around 30-45% thus far, my CPU usage is about 30-45% thus far as well. Seems to put the most stress on my fourth core, oddly.

Still didn't manage to change the language to english. Any further hints would be appreciated.

Holy shit, already? What was the problem, if I may ask? And does this fix the button prompts in menus too? (not really too important, but worth asking)
 
The new pictures look amazing.
 
I feel bad asking Durante all these questions, like he's some damned community manager for the game. Namco needs to cut this guy a check.
 
Anything on the black bars Durante, anything you can fix or is that a different issue?
I could probably fix it, but it's
1) Hard (or make that "laborious")
2) Low priority (I don't consider letterboxing to be so bad)
3) Even harder to do without stretching the GUI

Yes, looks like it.

The issue was that they are using Scissor Rectangles when rendering that, and the coordinates for those were not properly adjusted. That was the second thing I checked so it went pretty fast!

Will release 0.2 soon, also fixing downsampling for everyone (hopefully).

Amazingly. I can downscale with 2560*1440 perfectly fine but anything over that flat out halves framerate. It really looks like there's foul play from v-sync.
I wonder if d3doverrider is activating for me?

Still gonna fiddle around with RadeonPro once my drivers are installed.
 
Ah the heroic modder, here you are.

It's so funny i keep reading the wiiu gaf threads then look around the net a bit then come back to gaf again.

Good job.

Okay appreciate the answer, it's really ruining my experience. Guess I'll have to endure that crap.
 
It's amazing that this game wasn't even 720p on consoles and couldn't maintain 30fps, yet plenty us are playing at insane resolutions 3800x2100 (there abouts) or higher, locked at 30fps. It really is time for new consoles.

I dumped d3doverrider since using RadeonPro, you can find tripple buffering under the tweaks tab.
 
Version 0.2 is up.

Fixes text, button prompts and downsampling.

It's not so surprising really. It's doing the same things, framebuffer resolution scales more or less linearly with GPU power, and modern GPUs are 12+ times more powerful than those in the consoles.

Well d3d shouldn't be running (in fact, no v-sync should be running for me) unless i tell it to.
Which is odd since i have zero tearing.

But since other ATI users seem to experience similar drop in performance it really looks like an ATI issue.
