Hey guys, I'm having problems with x360ce for the DS3. I had issues when I first set it up, but I got it working eventually. I stopped playing for a while and when I came back it was broken. Is that due to the recent update maybe?

Anyway, I have the controller configured but the game doesn't see it. What's the deal?

I have all 4 xinput.dll copies in my data folder and hook mode set to all.

Same issue that I had, conflicting drivers. Go to control panel, and check if the controller you are using is the only one there.

What is the best AO in this game?

VSSAO2.

 

[TnK]

VSSAO2.

Thanks Durante. BTW, what is the cause of crashing when running AO or AA? After I downloaded another mod that has a graphical interface for your mod, I was able to change AA and AO without causing the game to crash, even if I did it manually from the .ini file.

 

[Knurek]

Durante, apologies if this has already been mentioned earlier...

Could you satisfy my curiosity - what would you do if Dark Souls 2 got released and would use your DSFix the same way DS1 does? I mean, you mentioned earlier something about in game footage from DS2 missing similar effects that DSFixed DS1 does.
I realize it's very improbable From is so incompetent @PC developing to use your work internally, but yeah, stranger things had happened.

I actually figured it out. For some reason my bluetooth adaptor can't be plugged in while my DS3 is for it to work. I'm guessing it has to do with the drivers being confused, but I'm not sure.

 

[mrlion]

I used DSfix, it works but when I start the game the game appears in a small window on the left corner and the HUD is fine

But when I select something on the menu it seems to be fine just when I exit the menu it goes back to the small window.

Wonder whats going on lol...

 

[Valtýr]

 

[mrlion]

On DSfix? I have it at 0 its not enabled. Or you mean in-game?

 

[Valtýr]

Yup

 

[dani_dc]

In-game, feel free to pump up the AA via DSfix.

 

[mrlion]

Alright I got it thanks guys! Sorry if the problem was mentioned several times lol

 

[AJLma]

Alright guys, I've looked everywhere for the answer but can't seem to find it.

How do you run this game at 60 FPS, and is there any downside to doing it?

I tried using DSfix and enabling the 60FPS option in the ini file, but I get a crash every time at startup, I must be doing something wrong.

You probably need to add a DEP exception for the game since the method DSFix uses to enable 60fps is a bit invasive.

How do I get rid of the letterbox on a 16:10 monitor? I've tried borderless window mode but all it does is do some weird forced aspect ratio thing that distorts the image quality.

I can't believe that Limbo of the Lost was less of a hassle than this game.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can get rid of the borders. I can live with it, not that big of a deal.

[Hamburgler]

Having a strange issue. Everything works great with the exception of some UI elements not displaying properly. When I talk to characters two translucent black boxes fill up the bottom corners of the screen. I also notice boss health bars not displaying properly and when pressing the d-pad to switch items on the item cross the highlight appears in the wrong spot momentarily.

Any idea as to the cause and fix for this?

Are you scaling the UI with dsfix? There are some issues in regards to that. Unfortunately I don't think there's anything you can do to fix it, other than to turn off UI scaling entirely.

Yes, those sound like known issues with UI scaling (as documented in the readme).

The only thing anyone could do to fix them is fix them . The source is on Github.

Durante I think Aloo81 mentioned it to you before, but the 3d helix mod shrinks the hud and it's perfect during boss fights, might be worth throwing the helix mod on top of your fix and disable hud scaling in the dsfix, check it out, it looks nicer, its how i normally run the game

 

[outsidah]

Looks like Nexus Mods just broke... lol right when I was looking at the nice additions for DS.

Coming back to this thread and seeing the disable antialiasing yoloswag gif posted on every page.

Is language override working for anyone? I configured it for en-GB in the ini but it doesn't seem to work.

 

[Robert J. Sullivan]

nope, didn't work for me too when i bought the game during the autumn sale
the only solution i found was to set my country to english in windows and changed it back to france as soon as i finished the game

After switching to a new monitor I'm having a problem with screen tearing. Everything is set up right as far as I can tell. I even tried only setting the resolution and framerate unlocker/cap in dsfix.ini and I still have this problem.

Never had this problem when playing at 1440x900 but it suddenly appeared on a fresh 2.2 install of dsfix even though my framerate is a completely steady 60fps. What am I missing here?

 

[Orayn]

Not entirely sure what's causing the tearing, but you can force vsync with D3DOverrider.

 

[satori]

Wtf was I under a god damn rock or something? This is actually a thing? Omfg Dark soul is sooooo bought....Thank you op.

Try borderless windowed mode in DSFix instead of full screen.
If that doesn't work, D3DOverrider

 

[I H8 Memes]

Yup. Havent played DS since I reformatted a couple of months ago and didnt have d3doverrider reinstalled yet. Must have been using it with DS last time I played and just forgot about it.

 

[Forsaken82]

So what is the deal with GFWL with it shutting down and all... is this game going to be unplayable?

 

[Eusis]

So what is the deal with GFWL with it shutting down and all... is this game going to be unplayable?

The same person that outed the removal of GFWL from the Batman games and others seems to think in recent posts I saw that we can be optimistic for GFWL being removed, and it would make sense given how much of an evergreen title this is. Not really like Madden or even CoD where the new game renders the old obsolete, both me and my brother went back to Demon's Souls after Dark Souls and I'm sure many will do the same with Dark Souls II and Dark Souls/Demon's Souls.

 

[Sullichin]

So what is the deal with GFWL with it shutting down and all... is this game going to be unplayable?

Hopefully they realize that it's pretty popular on PC (~4500 concurrent players last I checked) and consistently is in the top sellers when it's on sale. But we don't know

 

[Just_myles]

I am going to pick this up on Steam, even though I can't run it, just in case I want to try out the fix. At 6 bucks, you just can't beat that.

 

[Rootbeer]

they better patch out or around the GFWL and soon, it's not right for them to be selling this in the steam and amazon sales left and right, raking in all this money just so people won't be able to play in a few months

 

[satori]

Wait, I heard they are removing GFWL soon, but this will affect if games will work or not? wtf? That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen if that is the case. There is no way for them to remove the GFWL requirement with out killing the game? Sorry for my ignorance but this is the first I have heard of this. Like I said I been under a rock lol

Thats why I asked... i bougth it completely forgetting about GFWL

Should have just gone back to the 360 version instead

pretty sure that only effects the multiplayer part of the game. Solo play should work just fine after GFWL is dead

Since I'm new to this, is there any way to make sure that the DSfix is indeed running?

If you have the HUD sizing enabled, pressing the right control button should turn the hud on and off.

I mean, if you have everything set up right and your computer is capable enough, it should look substantially better.

 

[Durante]

Well, it was working for me the last time I tried, which was a few months ago.

One option would be to set the screenshot key (in DSfixKeys.ini) and see if you can take a sceenshot.

OK I just unlocked the FPS to test it out and it works because Fraps is now reporting above the 30fps limit.

 

[Alo81]

Here's a comparison.

This is rendered at Dark Souls default resolution, no DSfix bells and whistles, and displayed at 1080p.

This is rendered using all the perks of DSfix.

 

[KarmaCow]

It's really insane how much detail on the armour and weapons was never seen, but always there.

 

[Randam]

all right.
fix works.
tried 3840 * 2160.
runs with 40 to 50 fps.

but 2 problems/questions:

texts are very blurry:

and the game didnt want to start at first.
even without the fix.
so i googled and i found this:

Go into the DATA folder in Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition and delete DATA.exe.cfg

i did that and it worked.
but what did I delete there?

i think i have problems with gfwl.

in game it tells me i can play in offline mode only and i cant even save anything.

Text is blurry because your depth of field resolution is the same as your rendering resolution(or display resolution?).

Lower it.
