Just need a m+kb fix and everything will be good.
Durante has made Kotaku. Somehow, I'll never understand how, they turned his 23 minute fix into "a few hours".

Ok I set the framebuffer to 1920x1080 and then it downscaled it to my native res. This one is just a test since I won't be messing with this too much longer tonight.
It definitely looks better and less aliased. Still the odd drops though. Not as bad as before so I'm really lost on why this is happening.
That's because he said he had some things prepped to make the job easier since he was anticipating more work but alas, under 30 minutes to make progress.

Durante admitted that it took him longer since he had already started working on this fix in the past week leading up to release.
23 minutes is what I believe it took to get it implemented once he had his hands on the game.
huh? didn't you guys say m/kb controls kinda sucks right now?

holy fuck, so detailed. night and day compared to before the mod.
Ahh, I see. Missed that in all the mad playing and GAF perusing of the past few hours.

Durante, thanks for your hard work! I had no idea so many details were hiding behind the low resolution. When I met Solaire of Astoria this time I could see the guy blink underneath that bucket-shaped helmet. Game looks super sharp at 2880x1600.
I might actually buy this on PC now... And From should reward Durante with something awesome.
I have that cooler! My i5 2500k is running at 4.8 ghz thanks to that beast.
It's progressed to an incredible point. Water cooling used to be the realm purely for enthusiasts with a massive radiator and tank and all sorts of crazy shit.
This is what water cooling looks like these days.

So I'm only playing by 1600x900, and it only seems to cut the text in half.

Durante is aware of the issue and is planning on looking at it tommorow.

Oh I know, I'm just seeing everyone complain that text is COMPLETELY gone.
I was just throwing it out there
I'm pretty sure that higher resolutions cut off more of the text until it's completely gone.
Nice camera angleOh I know, I'm just seeing everyone complain that text is COMPLETELY gone.

oh, and this game is fucking awesome.
indeed! all that detail buried in the game and FROM didn't bother to show it off. the fuck.
And:

3840x2160 downsampled to 1080p. Fixed my framerate problems (HD7870) in catalyst panel by bumping all graphic options to the max.

4 more shots, and legacy, if you chose lower res, I noticed that it shows more or half like your pic.
Last shots for me tonight....

Dark Souls gear is the best gear. My favorite art in the game.
yea, and ALL armor you see you will be able to find and wear. including the same ones from some bosses.

You mean even if you're undead? That could be a serious problem. I guess I could go entirely offline somehow but it sure would be disappointing to miss out on the note system.
I read on the steam forums that the game isn't using the GPU to nearly its full capacity, and bumping up all of the graphics options can help this. It fixed the vast majority of my framerate problems, still get minor drops but it's above the performance of the console version at least now. And drops to 25 or so instead of 15.
Specifically, in catalyst control panel I have it set to overwrite application settings for the Dark Souls exe. AA options turned all the way up. I have V sync off and triple buffering off. And I have Durante's mod on with the resolution set to 3840x2160 in the config and 1080p in the game.
Now I can actually play the game and stop messing with settings.. I hope.
It seems they do that everywhere with this game though. All kinds of awesome lore, and story? They leave it for you to discover on your own, if you care enough to do so. An OST full of really awesome tunes? They only play it when you're too busy having your ass handed to you to notice. FROM knows how to exercise restraint, and I love 'em for it.
I'm sure that'll get patched if it happens. This game is #1 seller on Steam right now, so it might've already payed for itself and that might turn into Bamco supporting it with patches, maybe. We shouldn't really take anything for granted with this port lol.
First bit of daylight I came to:

Tried to measure GPU usage and such using EVGA Precision X, but the overlay insta-crashed the game.
Edit: Nvidia Control Panel FXAA doesn't appear to work, presumably because of the way the fix is implemented.

I wonder what that might be doing. When the drops occur for me, the GPU usage suddenly drops to 0% and the framerate drops to 15 fps (when everything is working normally and smooth it sits at around 30% usage). Then just as suddenly as it begain something triggers it to jump back up and the framerate returns to 30 fps. It's like the GPU just decides to shut down.

Wow. The game is a ton of fun and looks fantastic. It's rock solid at 30fps (560ti) - let me try and crank up the res to see what the threshold is like. :3
