Read it in the finnish gaming magazine Pelit. They said that according to rumours the budget was an astounding $15,000.
It sounds too low to be true but considering how the port turned it might just be true.
I think it also deacativates SMAA but I'm not sure about it and no one is testing it besides me.

Which makes their lack of communication regarding the status of the port quite a tragedy, I assume they haven't gotten in touch with Durante either?

How can i make the TGA's show a preview image? I dont want to have to open each one to see what it is.

Search for a program called mystic thumbs which will enable thumbnails and previews in explorer. You might have to restart windows for it to take effect.

There's another kind of 60fps patch right now, and it actually works. The problem is that you need a really beastly CPU and it doesn't work with the newer versions of DSfix yet.
It's somewhere here in the comments:

Tried the 60fps patch and it works perfectly for the 20min I played.
CPU: 2500k 4.3Ghz OC
GPU: Asus 670
Ram: 8GB
OS: Win7
DSFix settings
Native res 1920*1080
DOF 540
DOF Blur 1
SSAO 2
MSAA none
For the 20min I run it was perfectly. Only dropped at the first boss battle and at the firelinks. Great work im really impressed at how good this game looks in 60fps.

Holy crap, it works great. Only drop was when the tutorial boss smash the ground and all the stones started flying around.
I'll try to record some footage for those who want to see it.
edit: Nevermind. Action doesn't work with durante's fix. I'll keep testing.

How do the animations look? Does it give a weird effect? The camera movement should be noticeably smoother but the animations should remain the same, with each animation frame doubled, right?

firelink was 60 fps, undead burg was 30 fps....

please do, I want to view how it looks... my pc cant handle 60 fps
I can't, both Fraps and Action! don't like the game apparently.
Managed to run at 60ish FPS for Firelink and the very beginning of Undead Burg, though not at my normal resolution.
It's odd. Some animations look fine, some are strange. Still a really cool fix, though.

Just tried the 60fps patch and it's god damn wonderful. Durante please check it out.
Try out the patch. It completely is possible, and looks fantastic.

As long as the xlive.dll thing is in there you're golden.
Nice, thanks.
Edit: Hmm crashing on startup with DSfix 1.0.
Edit2: Nvm, thought you had to use a version BELOW 1.1.

Here's hoping for 120Hz support as well, if this takes off!

Just ran through from Asylum to Firelink and it was steady at 60 except for the Asylum Demon fight which had some severe drops to ~20. I ran at internal 1920x1080, borderless no AA. I'm going to force MSAA/SGSSAA through NI and see how far I can push before the framerate craps out. In any case, this is pretty damn sweet.
Which one are you using? I'm getting locked 30 with durante's fix enabled.
Edit: Nevermind. Got it!
You don't have fraps or some other overlay like afterburner on, right?
Nope, I even disabled the Steam overlay. I might just be one of the unlucky people this mod won't work for.
Here's a very short video I made super quick for those who want to see Dark Souls at 60fps. It's in low quality, but the framerate is locked at 60.

(60fps videos can be too demanding for weak cpus. Restart the video if you see framerate drops)

Easiest way to do that would to get some kindof program like Xpadder or whatever the more popular free one is people use... and Remap whichever key you want to the corresponding key on your Kb for SS's
Edit: 60fps? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY!? and how do i get it.......(will read)
Dude there is support for 120hz, well it's working for me at least, just Run Dsfix in Full screen windowed mode..... i don't have to use HDMI instead of DisplayPort anymore
WOW 60fps, Looks amazing, (only seen that video so far) ii would LOVE to see it running a Downsampled Res through dsfix with all the fruit, AND @60fps..... ...
My body is ready.

How does Blighttown Work now?

Heh, it works and looks great, but to no-one's surprise a Core 2 Duo isn't enough to get consistent 60fps out of this game, and the constant jumps from 30 to 60 are distracting. Sticking with 1.4.

Someone with a ridiculous rig should make a video of Blighttown at 60 fps.
Why buy a console when you can just brute force in any features a game is missing on the pc?
Hell, 99% of the time you don't even have to do the work yourself, because someone will stand up and do it for you, and all you have to do is download a friggin dll.

this is why serious gamers only play pc games. there's no waiting around for developers/publishers to decide that the financials are adequate for them to implement something new, the community will make it so.
This, and mods increase the lifespan and content of a game more then any developer could hope to do. Mods also spawn some pretty damn sweet games in their own right.
Really looking forward to being able to play this game in all its proper glory.

Nah, I meant to say 120fps, my bad.
We call it Delight Town now.
