Dark Souls internal rendering resolution fix (DSfix)
- Thread starter Durante
- Start date
Durante, I think you should update your pictures in the OP.
Do one for 720p upscaled (same as you have now)
Second will be native 1080p (same as you have now)
Third will be downsampled from 3367x1894 to 1920x1080, SMAA, 16x AF
Just to show how your mod has progressed, would be awesome.

Did you copy the SMAA-files from the dsfix folder to the DATA-folder?

Whenever I try and launch this game nothing happens, if I try enough it eventually starts but at the minute it's just not having any of it.
I think Quote had the same problem, how did you fix it? It's driving me crazy.

I had to reinstall Windows, which resulted in me having to drag and drop the old save file to the new directory GFWL created for the game. It seems to work fine, should I be worried that this is going to crap out on me in the future?
Are you on Windows 8?

7, I have tried changing compatibility and running as admin. I just want to play this amazing game.
I had a similar problem. If you have multiple displays, disable the secondary.
I thought they were supposed to be in DATA/dsfix/*.* so it made updating less of a hassle.

Just tried that, it hasn't worked. Thanks anyway
I was bored so I followed suite...use these if you want Durante
!1) Default settings, 1024x720 render resolution @ 1920x1080
2) 1920x1080 render resolution @1920x1080, 1080 dof setting, no smaa
3) 6400x3600 render resolution @ 1920x1080, 1080 dof setting, ultra smaa
4) Bonus : 35 mb png showcasing the difference between unmodded/console resolution and 6400x3600 superimposed on eachother at their respective native resolution.
None of these are any match for the MAME HLSL filter:
You should look into that if you plan on doing your own shader thing.

Beautiful.
Personal preference. I'm not really crazy about screen curvature or filters that replicate scanlines or CRT color cells.

Made a comparison GIF from your shots Corky, hoppas det är ok!

The mod makes the game look too angular.
dat texture detail.
I think I´ll give up on AO, it looks cool but its not as smooth as I wanted.

Sorry you have to give up AO. Makes them game looks so so nice
It won't look better at high resolution, it's still using the same assets!
(Thanks for the comparison shots, will put in the OP and maybe on my blog later)

"I can't see the difference between resolutions above 720p anyway, PS360 are good enough for me".
Great comparison shot. So much detail lost in the textures, really awesome that this allows the art to shine.
I just went from version 0.6 to 0.91 and I'm getting crashes nearly every time I alt-tab back into the game. filteringOverride is set to 0.
In fact, I've barely played with any options. Resolution, dofOverrideResolution and disableCursor are all that I've touched.
I am, however, using X360CE to emulate a 360 controller. The game detects it and it works fine but I'm not sure if it's contributing to the crashes. I feel like it may be considered a wrapper like you mentioned in the instructions.

I'm getting crashes to desktop on .91 too. The only option I changed was resolution.
You are a lovely person. Alt-tabbing works again.
In related news, I found out that SMAA1x does not affect my framerate! And the intro skip is SO NICE.
He wants to emulate CRT.
Not really him, but for some reason the fuzzy CRT look is more appealing than the clear fidelity you get from a LCD.
Also the Zelda picture: I can smell the goddamn ozone from that picture.
It's completely customizable, it has 30+ options to modify.
So you can set scanlines to 0 and the color covergence to minimal levels (you should still push it around a bit though) etc.
(i'm guessing this offtopic discussion is still okay)
Sorry to bother with this again, but I can't seem to make backuping work. Am I missing something?
3) 6400x3600 render resolution @ 1920x1080, 1080 dof setting, ultra smaa
DAT IQ! I'm a little weirded out by how much the texture clarity improves due to downsampling, compared to the same scene at native res. What's the reason for that?

Is it normal that the game has some stuttering when turning the camera quickly at the beginning of areas? According to fraps it goes down to 26-27 fps and then resumes with a perfect 30. Not sure what to do against this. 
Happens in all the resolutions.

Right click -> save as.
I'll whip this out next time someone tries to say that resolution alone makes no significant difference in visuals.
Anyway, laptop I mentioned a few pages back that ran this game relatively well on Intel integrated graphics runs about the same with the latest fix applied @1600x900 native res. Borderless windowed mode seems to keep performance around 28-18fps (depending on areas, but this includes Blighttown). So yay for my wife being able to screw around, not that she'll ever invest the time to beat it.
Still can't believe it runs playable on integrated graphics...
Edit: Also thanks to whoever posted the sound fix, worked fine with Realtek, haven't tested it out on my gaming rig/s yet though, different soundcards and all.

Did anyone manage to make the mouse mod and this work together?
Edit: Ok, i found what the problem is:

Both mods use a file called DINPUT8, so installing one inevitably fucks up the other. V04 is fine though, but it lacks of all the awesome tweaks v09 has. Would it be possible to fix this? It would be really helpful to those of us who are playing with mouse and keyboard.

How did you get SLI to work?

bu-bu-but the console version is "good enough" and "it's the game that matters", stop it you entitled whiner!
I've fixed this already the moment I made it a direct input wrapper. Read the .ini.

I was so genuinely surprised when I saw how much texture detail was "there" so to speak. Obviously some of the assets aren't made for super high res viewing but many ( like that axe or other weapons/armors ) have amazing attention to detail paid to them that are hidden in the muddy, blurry out of the box version...

Dat low-res art assets.

That's why this is so insane - they're the same assets. All the details are still there in the console versions, you just can't see them.

It's amazing what they managed on that budget.
I've been trying to keep up with this thread as well as possible so I'm not sure if this problem has happened to anyone else. But I'm running dsfix 0.9.1 and when I look at a certain spot within the Darkroot Gardens, a little away from where you meet Alvina, my screen melts into a blue and white blob. And when I look away the screen goes back to normal. In this picture, I'm right next to Shiva, looking over a cliff.
Quite a few people have reported this, but I couldn't reproduce it on my system. I have a few adjustments in 1.0 that could fix it, but since I can't test them on my system I don't know if they help.
Yeah, I saw this in Darkroot while farming the catbros. I thought I died and went to heaven for a short while. The screen just bloomed up in blue and white for two seconds.
I had that issue as well, very briefly. I didn't rest my camera on that angle so maybe that's why I only saw it flash by.
I have a Radeon HD4870 if that matters.
