Did you verify the integrity of your game cache? Mine was running fine and then one night the game just started sucking.
I checked the cache and it had some messed up files (thanks gfwl). Once I fixed those it ran better.

The poison is weak as hell. One time I was able to run back to a fire to wipe it out with ease, and another time I just healed through it easily with two hits from a level 0 flask.
Hmm.. worth a shot I guess. Thanks!
I started working on this 2 hours or so before you posted (a similar thing happened with the question about doing SSAO at rendering res earlier in the thread). I should have been done at least 3 hours ago but I was stupid again (and well, the Dark Souls renderer was also a bit stupid, but I should really have expected that).
Now it's 3:30 am, I have a headache and 1.1 will have to wait until tomorrow.
1080p DoF with fast high quality separable gaussian blur:
This was the last big graphical enhancement I wanted to make. It's just for total IQ geeks like me, who were really annoyed that you only had the choice between "low-quality, but as intended" and "high quality, but too sharp" when it came to DoF.
Durante, you're ridiculous. Not only should FROM/Namco use your work as an official patch to Dark Souls once you've finalised your fixes, but they should pay you some serous money for it.
I know I'm not the only one who has bought the game because of your work, and I hope it gets official recognition. I can't believe the difference your work has made, and it really does undermine their excuses about the porting process. If you have been able to do this, why couldn't Namco or FROM find a PC expert to help them?

Does this hit the graphic-card harder than DOF 1080?
Yes. It's 1080p + an additional blur pass. But the blur pass is rather cheap.
Backups are still working for me, and I didn't change anything about them. Which save game directory does the fix report if you set the loglevel to 3?
Maybe so, but it's comparable to the original game setting in terms of sharpness (just much higher quality). Anyway, you can select exactly how sharp/blurry you want it.

Im torn between getting the console DLC for presumably more pvp players, or getting the PC version for Durante mode.. These screenshots are amazing...
Given the frequency with which I'm invaded and the amount of summoning sings I see everywhere you really shouldn't worry about this on PC I think.
I had it on console, and the amount of activity seems comparable.

Junction point on drop box for all gfwl titles. Gamesave manager will link it for you automatically.For some reason backups do not work now on the latest version?? wtf
FUCK MOTHERFUCKER!!!
aaaannd I tried to do a file restore and it fucked me back to all my DLC progress. GOD FUCKING DAMN
I'm gonna go cry myself to bed while I lose like 5 hours of progress
SaveManager: Backing up save files
SaveManager: searching for files ending on .sl2
SaveManager: Backed up è; åÿG,¼
SaveManager: searching for files ending on .bak
also backs up to the wrong folder for whatever reason. I leave it running at the main menu and there should be something but there's no backup.
I tried again and it's the same thing. Usually the fix would be like "oh you're starting a game? Well have this backup!" That never happens now.
I'm a little new anti aliasing types and the installation of the latest durante fix.
Do I have to put both SSAO files and the VSSAO file in the directory for it to work? Do I only have to choose one? and if so, what is the considered the best and worst?
Also does DINPUT8.dll have to be put in the directory? because whenever it is, my game always crashes

That new blur effect is quite astounding Durante. Cannot wait for your updates (on vacation away from my comp)
You just extract all the contents of the zip to the directory. And then you configure what you want in DSfix.ini.
So awesome. Why 3072x2160 resolution though, isn't that not 16:9?
Also are you using the (non jagged) ghost blade? Nice, pretty rare drop.
You've probably heard this a lot by now, but thank you for the fix man, phenomenal work sir.
Thanks for replying, but I just had two more questions.
Do I put the "dsifix" folder with SSAO files in the directory or just the SSAO files themselves?
Also when DINPUT8.dll is in the directory my game crashes and when I take it out of the directory it works absolutely fine. Am I doing something wrong?
dsfix folder should be in the directory with those files.
1.1 is out
Bugfixes:
- SSAO depth buffer inaccuracy fixed. Removes line artifacts from SSAO.
- Added further renderpipeline state restoration after SMAA and checks whether we are at the correct stage. May (again) fix the SMAA issues some people are having.
- Fixed windows scaling issue when toggling between borderless windowed fullscreen and windowed mode.
New features:
- SSAO is now configurable in the .ini, with 3 strength presets (low, medium and high).
- Optional high-quality DoF blur. This allows you to set the sharpness as intended while still maintaining very high DoF image quality.
- And maybe the most requested one: HUD on/off toggle as bindable key action. Default is the right Ctrl key.

Hmm, is it just me or does the effect on/off switching via numpad does not work anymore?
New blur, SSAO and hudless are all awesome. This is how the game should have shipped.
Edit: Fun fact, the hudless does not seem to work for dashes in the font.

The mod doesn't even use d3d9.dll anymore so that should have been gone a long time ago.
You can still keybind the toggles, I just turned most of them off by default.

I think you forgot the readme file in this archive, might be wrong.
Also doesn't your mod remove the splash screens, bloody annoying.
and Thanks man!

Thanks for the awesome work on this.
A lot of people are downloading this. Don't think I've ever had a 40 minute download estimate for 250 KB file.

I really don't see the appeal of blurring the background.
I know it's the "intended way the game looks". I still don't get it.
I might just disable it.
The real time turning stuff on and off is nice. I couldn't see a difference with SMAA though. Maybe i'm just blind. I should try again with a more pronounced SMAA. Because of that, I wondered if some sort of overlay text telling you shit was ON of OFF would be possible, but I quickly dismissed that idea, because it's probably a lot of work for somethign that's not really needed.
As usual, great job Durante.

Wow just wow.
Finally donated after being way too lazy. You definitely deserve it!

you really have to get close and look at the lines of models..rotate the camera next to an edge of a wall and flip it on and off. you will see some smoothing (if you set the ssao setting above 0)I really don't see the appeal of blurring the background.
