Looks better than Nethack so I'm golden.

Nethack isn't blurry

 

[GoncaloCCastro]

Well, I haven't seen anything other than locked 30 FPS at 4 times the resolution. I'm running a 660.

You know I've been following this thread and I was almost sure that someone would come up with a solution very quickly.

Did you use a DirectX hook to resize the backbuffer or anything like that? I'm really interested in the technical aspect of it.

 

[Bedlam]

WTF? That is some funny shit... I wanted to believe the From Software guys struggled against some unsurmountable difficulties but this is ridiculous.

 

[Wolf Akela]

As mentioned, the art assets are low res.

As I mentioned, my comment had nothing to do with the textures. The models themselves don't look sharp (I'm not referring to AA nor polycount).

 

[_machine]

This resolution fix is huge news. It needs to be in the OT title or a new thread so people who wrote the game off due to it can know its fixed.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition |OT| Durante > FROM Software

 

[fluffydelusions]

Durante deserves a gift

 

[zephervack]

DURANTE, oh my God, thank u so much, you are a legend.

Any chance u can also add a fov fix for triple screen gaming???

You have defeated!

 

[The Elite]

Durante deserves a gift

If this works fine for everyone, he deserves a paycheck from FROM.

 

[EasyMode]

As I mentioned, my comment had nothing to do with the textures. The models themselves don't look sharp (I'm not referring to AA nor polycount).

Could be caused by the game's post-processing antialiasing. FXAA and similar methods introduce blur.

 

[Wanny]

Is it me or this thread has become fun to follow now?

 

[Wolf Akela]

Could be caused by the game's post-processing antialiasing. FXAA and similar methods introduce blur.

Possibly. Has Durante tried to run his res fix with the FXAA injector?

This.

This isn't small this is major. Huge news.

 

[Alastor]

I had a feeling it will be fast and easy. Congrats, Durante!

Comes with an artbook, making of DVD, 23 track Soundtrack, some postcards and a poster of the front cover.

Yeah, come to daddy.

Spoiler

still waiting for mine

 

[chiablo]

If Durante charged $5 for the resolution patch, I'd buy two. You should at least put up a donation page or something so we can compensate you for your time and effort.

 

[Eideka]

Quick, a medal for Durante !

Although this is sad that From did not give a damn to implement this.

 

[PixelHorror]

Durante, can we use your fix even with GFWL on?

 

[Tain]

might be buying thanks to Durante.

I'm guessing that due to the ratio of the internal framebuffer we can't get native 1080p?

 

[Sethos]

Durante, can you / did you add some additional resolutions? Like 2560x1600

 

[The Elite]

He said it took him 23 minutes. If every GAF member in here donated a buck, I'm sure we would pay off his copy of the game though.

Durante, can we use your fix even with GFWL on?

Good question.

 

[purg3]

Durante: One day From will understand.


Nice work dude.

 

[Capell]

Thanks Durante, now I can preorder this game without having mixed feelings.

 

[GooeyHeat]

Durante, can we use your fix even with GFWL on?

Yeah, this is what I'd like to know. Don't party just yet.

 

[EatinOlives]

Hot damn, I'm considering buying this now thanks to Durante instead of waiting for a sale in the far future.

 

[drizzle]

Hey Durante, I don't know the Inner Workings of your patch (is it an external .exe that calls the regular .exe but changes some memory variables?), but I wonder if it'll count the hours on Steam?

I know this is Small Potatoes, but I hope it works as Skyrim's Extended Scripting tools, where you run SKSE.exe and THEN load skyrim.exe, counting hours properly on Steam.

We probably can't know if it works on GFWL until the game actually comes out.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Took him ONLY 23 minutes to do this and from couldn't be bothered to put this in? smh

 

[SolidsnackooFoxhound]

Give this man a tag. Seriously.


It was really really really deserved.

 

[Drencrom]

I did. Took me 23 minutes, without source access. (I dedicate this to the people that told me I'm unreasonable when I lambasted From for not doing something that takes a few hours at most in the other thread)

I'll make a thread when it's in a state ready to release

What the fuck FromSoftware...

 

[chiablo]

Yeah, this is what I'd like to know. Don't party just yet.

I'd imagine that because it's essentially a post-processing filter that it would not trigger any flags with GFWL. From my understanding, it's the same as enabling Anti Aliasing through your video card's control panel, or using an ENB shader.

 

[fluffydelusions]

[Tain]

There still seems to be some weird action going on in Durante's shot. Like, it's downscaled, but there's some processing going on outside of that, isn't there?

edit: looking at the second shot, here

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I'm all giddy now. I just want my pre-load to be available.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Durante fucking rocks. I can't believe the resolution stuff got fixed before it even officially launched.

I just got my key from GMG, but it doesn't mention Steam anywhere... Hrmm...

Oh well, I have to wait until I get home before trying it anyway.

 

[Orayn]

Durante
PRAISE THE SUN! o/

Make it so, admins.

 

[Falxix]

I wonder how many extra sales this game is going to get from Durante's work. I know I'm getting it now.

 

[derwalde]

if this works with GFWL, everyone should consider donating a few bucks via paypal or whatever. good work needs to be paid imo.

 

[Emitan]

There HAS to be some reason From didn't do this. Right?!

GAF YOU TOLD ME SUCH WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT "BASED FROM"

 

[Durante]

So looks like 16x9 framebuffers work well. It's not locked to anamorphic rendering.

I guess I'll get this ready to release in a few hours -- a few things to do still, like reading rendering res from some config file and cutting down on debug logging (currently produces ~100MB/minute)).

I'll make a thread then.

Durante, can you / did you add some additional resolutions? Like 2560x1600

Will be a config file.

might be buying thanks to Durante.

I'm guessing that due to the ratio of the internal framebuffer we can't get native 1080p?

Unlocked aspect ratio.

Hey Durante, can you somehow name your executable the same as the game's executable, and then rename the game's executable and call it through your software, so I can rename/replace the original .EXE and Steam can still count the hours properly?

The executable is unmodified.

I'd imagine that because it's essentially a post-processing filter that it would not trigger any flags with GFWL. From my understanding, it's the same as enabling Anti Aliasing through your video card's control panel, or using an ENB shader.

It's not the same exactly, but it uses the same method to deliver its "payload". So if FXAA injectors work with GFWL (I don't know if they do) this should as well.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I'll stop replying for now otherwise I'll never get the release done. Talk about the game or something, I'll be back in a few hours!

 

[Luffymania]

Got it from greenmangaming


Waiting for the download to start :V

 

[wutwutwut]

Durante, are you planning to put the source up on github?

 

[AcceptableGhost]

Durante fucking rocks. I can't believe the resolution stuff got fixed before it even officially launched.

I will be getting it for sure too now.

[StriKeVillain]

I really wish we got a physical copy here in the States. That's the only thing really holding me back from purchasing at full price.

 

[Sullichin]

I'm so good.

A Dark Souls PC screenshot that won't make you sick and kill you.

Awesome work, thank you! I was naively hoping someone would fix it before I got home from work.. amazed that you did it so quickly. Let us know if you run into any weird issues! Your fix wouldn't affect GFWL would it?

EDIT: just read your explanation above. Yes, leave this thread and go do more awesome.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Ahaha, holy crap, Durante fixed it in 23 minutes?!

This both amazing and sad at the same time. Durante the former, From Software the later.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I'll be buying this game now thanks to Durante...Cmon, start gifting this guy stuff on steam or something

 

[Alcoholikaust]

best title change in a while-OP

 

[Moaradin]

Guess I'll buy from steam now considering it's THAT easy to fix the resolution. I assume uncapping the frame rate will be pretty easy as well.

 

[Skilletor]

Will buy thanks to this.

Thank you, Durante.

 

[evil_ash_xero]

I can't believe the res fix was that simple.

Thanks man. Once the patch is out, you'll be known as the savior of Dark Souls PC.

 

[Eusis]

Honestly, at this point, unless something turns up later in the game, the only explanation is that they just don't give a fuck. It's that simple.

Blighttown will probably be the test. Though to be honest I half wonder if Blighttown could be due to ram/CPU limitations on consoles, simply granting more on PC would fix that I think unless the game actively refuses to use more or something.
