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?

Restart Steam.

 

[Felix Lighter]

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.

That's encouraging. I have an HD 7970 but I was afraid that there was an AMD specific issue.

Restart your steam client (close it down completely)

Worked for me!

 

[Backfoggen]

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.

Mine goes up to 50% max even with the res way too high up and some slowdowns.

 

[LiK]

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

it's basic stuff like moves and attacks etc. if you're unsure, i highly recommend watching a LP of the beginning just to know what the text was.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

That's encouraging. I have an HD 7970 but I was afraid that there was an AMD specific issue.

It runs fine about 60% of the time for me. Which is rather disappointing so this needs a fixin ASAP. I mean a From fix, not Durante. He's done some good already.

Native 1080p

Now that's a massive difference. You're da best, mayne. Da best that ever was.

 

[artorias the abysswalker]

this gif is also appropriate for duarante's work

KEEN!! YESSSSS

durante's work def falls into cause for celebration, aka keen.gif

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

Low res assets my ass. The armor/weapons/architecture/textures look pretty damn high res to me. Game looks better than a ton of PC games. AND runs at a solid 30 fps with very few drops.

He said he will work on it tomorrow. Let the guy get some rest guys....

 

[iNvid02]

most aaa games have decent options for PC, hell even most indie games have some basic options at least. and now the average movie tie-in ports are understanding how to port to pc

come on japan, if you cant diy then outsource it

Durante will fix the button prompts and tutorial messages tomorrow. He's getting some much earned rest.

Must be the same issue as the missing text. Tomorrow.

For now, you could think of it as pro mode

Durante will fix the button prompts and tutorial messages tomorrow. He's getting some much earned rest.

I'll try to fix them tomorrow!

 

[TheUsual]

Great job, Durante! Works fine for me so far (AA off and motion blur on). Just tested it to try it out after playing for about 30 minutes and it looks great!

EDIT: No text either.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

Anyone running a ps3 controller?

 

[Deepo]

He said he will work on it tomorrow. Let the guy get some rest guys....

Absolutely, I'm just reporting bugs to be helpful. Better to know early before he does further work.

 

[Teknoman]

Should I set the internal res to match my max screen res (1440x900)?

 

[Vaporak]

Yeah I'm not seeing the text in the in game messages either.

 

[Sethos]

Atmosphere is stunning, last shot for tonight for me - Also cropped out those pesky black bars.

 

[Durante]

Anyone running a ps3 controller?

Yes, me. Working fine using MotionJoy.

 

[Wanny]

Low res assets my ass. The armor/weapons/architecture/textures look pretty damn high res to me. Game looks better than a ton of PC games. AND runs at a solid 30 fps with very few drops.

The unlock resolution actually made the textures muuuuuuch more crisper!

There is still that ugly DOF tho.

Yes, me. Working fine using MotionJoy.

Yes. Motioninjoy. Then emulate Xbox360 controller. Already same button layout than original PS3 version.

Did you just removed them after screenshots or you actually found a way to remove them for 16x10 resolutions?

Just cropped them out in photoshop

GPU usage on my 560Ti, for reference.

Yep and wirelessly with bluetooth.

 

[antitrop]

This shit looks REALLY, REALLY good with the patch, I think.

 

[CaLe]

So... Is it worth getting now with the fix ?

 

[Deepo]

This has been a fun night. I really didn't think we'd be this close to a fix right after launch, but then again, I've seen Durante do some amazing stuff previously. Have you guys checked out his work on using a capture card to apply AA to console games?

Another pleasant surprise is that the game seems to run at a very stable 30FPS. It does not suffer from from judder due to drawing every frame 2 times, as some 30FPS capped games seems to do. So I think I'll actually be able to live with the cap. Looks to be the superior version anyway!

 

[indigo-cyclops]

That's encouraging. I have an HD 7970 but I was afraid that there was an AMD specific issue.

Yea I only played up to the first Bonfire, so things could change but my god does it look and feel just great. The art can finally shine.

People having issues may just have to turn down the res in Config? I don't know, I would think cards as good as liquids shouldn't be having issues...

 

[Felix Lighter]

Download complete, time to find out if I'm going to regret this purchase...

 

[Clevinger]

From Software should name some boss or NPC in Dark Souls 2 "Durante." He must be making them a decent amount of otherwise lost sales from this.

 

[Peff]

Wow at these shots. Goddayum. Sexcellent work, Durante!

 

[wiggleb0t]

Can't resist. Like many others have said: Thank you very very much!

This release of the game was garbage in my opinion before you fixed it and now I can buy it thanks to your work!

 

[SOLDIER]

I don't suppose anyone could make like the classy gent who fixed Dark Souls and come up for a resolution fix for Claddun X2?

You want to talk about terrible PC ports....it won't even display on my TV.

 

[antitrop]

So... Is it worth getting now with the fix ?

I would say yes, the difference is staggering.

With the patch this is definitely the definitive Dark Souls experience, if your hardware can handle it.

 

[Teknoman]

Guess i'll just set it at my max screen res and see what happens.

 

[LegatoB]

So have people been able to play online using this patch without getting themselves banned from GFWL?

 

[gdt]

Need to start messing around with various AA tools....

Still, this looks awesome at high res.

This happens on every resolution for me, is anyone else having this issue?


nvm turning off aa works


thanks!

 

[Maedhros]

Since I'll be playing the game on 720p and my download hasn't finished anyway, I'll be waiting for the tomorrow version.

 

[antitrop]

So have people been able to play online using this patch without getting themselves banned from GFWL?

I've been playing for about an hour and I'm not banned from GFWL yet.

Turn off in-game AA

Definitely better, it's using the GPU usage is constant.

 

[Maedhros]

The game runs better on NVidia cards confirmed then?

 

[BlackJace]

*raises hand*

DS3 Tool ftw

 

[drizzle]

That's probably because of AMD's shitty drivers. They'll probably release a new version eventually that fixes those issues.
