Jesus it looks SO MUCH BETTER like this

I love you Durante

LAWD! First good screenshot of Dark Souls I've seen

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Does forcing AA work for anyone?

 

[Wanny]

Could be fixable, but that's really low priority for me. (Bad work / payoff ratio)

Not really complaining ! I'm already more than satisfied with your work.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Looks fucking incredible. Turn off AA and motion blur people

Motion blur doesn't seem to cause problems.

 

[gogogow]

Not the ingame OSD. OSDs from another aplications that overlay gamescreen with info like fps and such.

No MSI afterburner has an option to track the fps and other stuff with an overlay. That seems to cause problems.

Yeah, thought as much. But how do people take screenshots without ingame OSD? Is that feature implemented into the game?

 

[Cataferal]

This is working very well for me. 1080p Dark Souls is actually a reality now.

 

[Tain]

Motion blur holds up surprisingly well in the higher resolutions.

DOF does not.

 

[zephervack]

The messages on the floor dont appear for some reason.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

If someone manages to apply some AA, let us know

 

[RedSwirl]

Same, I have a Q6600 that is clocked at 3.0GHz. I'm also in class tonight, but will report when I get home what my performance is like.

Like I said though, mine is clocked at 2.4. I don't think it's made a difference in very many PC games up until now though, but people are still reporting bad optimization with this game.

 

[blainethemono]

working fine for me, but the game shows my mouse pointer on screen and I can't get my controller to work

 

[Jinfash]

I don't have the game and I don't intend to buy it anytime soon, but definitely will at some point in the future, but I will still donate in hopes you'd continue to your support.

 

[antitrop]

Has Durante made any mention of the lack of text for ground messages yet? Seems to be a common issue.

 

[vash1122]

No messages on the floor for me either.

 

[LiK]

by messages on the ground, do you guys mean the ones during the very beginning of the levels cuz they're tutorial messages.

 

[ctrayne]

[legacyzero]

I posted the new on the Steam forums, and it's getting alot of love so far, quite a few complaining about missing text though.

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=32497791&posted=1#post32497791

Fix one bug, another pops up. Shame that FROM couldn't have just done this from the beginning... One guy gets it done in under an hour. Shameful.

 

[Anth0ny]

Just tried 3840x2400 on my 1600p, shopped down to 1200p

Still doing 30FPS on the dot, doesn't dip.

That looks fantastic.

 

[Cataferal]

Hmm, too bad - the DSfix brings my framerate down to about 10 FPS. No DSfix - 30 FPS solid.

Nice work, though, Durante.

On a different note, does anyone know how to get rid of the mouse cursor? It's REALLY distracting. Playing with a gamepad is not an option for me.

PC Specs?

 

[xecollons]

Donated. You deserve it a lot.

 

[vash1122]

Yeah those are the ones. I guess if they're just tutorial messages there's no harm in skipping them though.

 

[Teknoman]

Its been awhile since i've messed with internal res via ini...and even then only when messing with FFXI.

If i'm running the game at 1440x900, should I set the internal res at the same?

 

[Backfoggen]

Tried forcing MSAA, didn't work. Forcing SSAA it doesn't even start.

But setting the rendering res to something high works great, it's essentially SSAA.

 

[ctrayne]

[Sethos]

Shame about the missing text yeah.

Anyone dabbled with injectors, FXAA with a bit of sharpening or just SMAA?

 

[Kaako]

Durante you sexy beast! Thank you for this contribution man.

I'm nervous that I'll have issues as well.

People with AMD cards, how is performance with the fix?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

GPU usage is bizzare.

Look at the 2nd one down. Outside of spikes, this is not using all my GPU horsepower.

To be clear, I get the same dips and performance regardless of res or having MSI on.

 

[Durante]

Confirmed the message text issue. I will work on that tomorrow, need some sleep now.

You deserve it man, goodnight *hugz and kizzes*

Good enough for me, thanks again!

Thanks for all the work man. We await your return.

Good night sir. You made a Dark Souls fan pretty happy already.

 

[spuit*11]

Durante, stay classy you.

Thanks again man. Have a good sleep

 

[Cataferal]

i7-3610QM @ 2.3GHz
8 GB RAM
Win 7 64-bit
GTX 675M
1080p native res

I know, gaming laptop, but it runs basically everything quite well. I have a desktop rig that could probably handle the DSfix, but it's packed away right now. No worries - Durante has done a fine job regardless of my performance.

Agreed. I'm running it on a desktop with a similar CPU clock, and it's definitely having troubles at 1080p. Looks amazing though, and I'm sure it'll perform much better on my i5-2500k PC.

To Blight Town!

Great job man, get some rest.

 

[Mupod]

The hell? It's saying my 'multiplayer privileges are blocked, game will start in offline mode'. My xbox live did expire recently but why would that matter for a GFWL game?

Edit: never mind, went away after a restart. I WAS signed in though.

:bow

You deserve the most epic of tags on NeoGAF.

 

[EternalGamer]

Ok a buddy of mine has his but I ordered it from Greenman Gaming. I put the code in on Steam and all I have is "Dark Souls Pre-Order."

Help?

 

[Deepo]

Seems to be missing button prompts in the in-game menus as well.

 

[LiK]

Yeah those are the ones. I guess if they're just tutorial messages there's no harm in skipping them though.

well, they do give you basic tips that will help since the game is already pretty bare bones in hints. hopefully that issue gets fixed or i guess people can check a quick basic guide online as a replacement.

Is that with the fix?

No wonder it runs so bad on your rig. It barely uses the GPU. We need someone with a nVidia card to see how much of the GPU it uses.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Was gonna try and skip this release and wait for the PS3 DLC, but the screens and obviously Durante's work has sold me. Downloading now!

 

[TheExodu5]

Not much point in getting AA working, tbh, as long as it's easy to maintain 30fps in Blighttown at high SSAA levels.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Just loaded it up. Running fine for me so far (5770 here), but I'm running it at 1440x810 in a window. My god it looks so much better. Can't thank you enough Durante.

 

[LiK]

man, such a fucking shame. if a modder can make the game look so pretty, it would've been nice if FROM got another company to port the game for them like with Ninja Blade. better than the shit we got.

 

[golem]

Can't read the messages on the floor.. but I dont need no hints! (maybe?)
