Support NeoGAF

[Bittercup]

Durante you are amazing! Thanks for all the work

 

[phantomspiker]

The port was done by Rising Star games (the publisher), they are not a Japanese company.

 

[Whitebison]

haha you did it again man! In Durante we trust!

 

[Ashodin]

Main menu and movies are borked, DoF and shadows are still low (unchanged) resolution, but still: 1 hour and 19 minutes after the steam download finished, we have a 2560x1440 render.

Tag update! HELL YEAH

 

[Rickenslacker]

Haha, nice new tag Durante. I didn't think much of the locked resolution, it's almost expected, but that's some baffling controller support you uncovered.

 

[parabolee]

Had this pre-ordered since available. Game is amazing but I hated the over the shoulder of 360 and the framerate on the PS3 DC literally gave me headaches!

Even at 720p 60fps it would be a big step up. But sucks it's not 1080p.

Durante you are amazing! Definitely going to donate if you get this working at 1080p!

 

[TheThunder]

Nice thread title, nice tag :lol

If DS2 doesn't have some sort of Durante NPC, item or whatever its gonna be a shame.

Rising Star is the publisher, I don't know if the original team did it, but the port wasn't done by the publisher.

seriously wtf man

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

Based Durante has arrived.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Praise Durante indeed.

Shame it came out in this state.

 

[Jarate]

>tfw the game runs like absolute dogshit on my computer

All I wanted to do was play teh vidya. Im getting around 10 fps, and I got an i5 and a gtx670. wtf

Rising Star Games is listed as both the developer and publisher of the PC version

 

[Durante]

Now I fixed the videos and menus but broke the gameplay

 

[catabarez]

It did that for another Greenlight game and they weren't the developers either.

1. Check which dll's the game uses, find one suitable for injection.
2. Replace that dll, inject my code, log all the relevant DirectX calls
3. Run the game a bit
4. Browse the log file (with search, it's several 100 MB), try to figure out the relevant calls
5. Replace those you think affect rendering resolution

At this point you get the totally broken result shown first in this thread. Now you start a loop.

1. By a combination of log reading, intuition and wild guessing, try to figure out what's wrong.
2. Adjust the things that need adjusting to fix what presumably went wrong.
3. Run the game and check if it helped.
4. If it's still broken, start again at 1.

I'll probably have to continue the loop above for a few hours now.

Oh my god that's fucking sweet. So those DLLs that you're replacing, are they standard libraries and stuff?

Any particular reason why the developer CODING this can't do this? Maybe you could offer your services to future devs.

 

[Raide]

That's how the game is. Don't go changing that!

It's a cool new trend for publishers not to credit the developer on Steam.

Oh dear. This worries me, I have a i5 and GTX 670 too!

I just want me Deadly Premonition to run at 1080p 60fps! Is that too much to ask? The game looks like shit (in a charming way) anyway!

I heard the frame rate is good from others? Maybe you can fiddle with the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel and get it running better?

Mine is still downloading, will test soon.

I didn't notice that, but Rising Star have mentioned getting builds "from the devs", so it could be a case of putting their name instead of the devs used for outsourcing (or the original team?)

 

[DMiz]

Durante making the games I want to play worth playing!

 

[hexen]

it's threads like this where i hate myself for not going through with my studies in computer science.

praise durante.

I did not know this. Well, I still haven't heard anything back from Rising Star Games (it seems like they are more interested in their new Beyblade game)

 

[FloatingDivider]

I just have to nod in approval, I also have to restate how embarrasing it is for these japanese devs that durante comes in and knocks out a rudimentary fix in an hour.
Maybe you should offer up your services as some sort of external consultant Durante.

 

[nynt9]

Durante is best. This is the third time I'm buying this game, and it's going to be the best time, thanks to him.

Can't wait for a released version of the fix!

 

[drizzle]

Durante, I need to give you money. Somehow.

 

[Hot Coldman]

by time Durante is done the combat will be like Vanquish with animation by Naughty Dog

 

[Kemal86]

Greatly appreciate your work here Durante.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Guys, Durante doesn't need your money, he needs your connections to journal reviewers so his future publishing career goes smoothly and he gets on the tenure track as quickly as possible.

 

[InfiniteNine]

The thought of York slide boosting and doing crazy melee and gun attacks makes me laugh.

I don't get it

 

[electroshockwave]

yeah don't really feel comfortable in putting money down for swery's shit on day one anymore, horrible ps3 port, a horrible pc port and they've shown no inclination of fixing things.

This is the same team that released the PS3 'Director's Cut' with a vastly inferior frame rate and non-customisable driving controls as accelerate / brake on R1 & L1, with handbrake on R2.

Welp. I really should have checked on GAF before getting the game on PSN.

I have no words, based Durante.

Durante, you're one of the craziest dudes out there

Really

It's like they're so clueless it's not even funny.

NeoGAF: "There's a fuck up"

*Durante runs to clean up the mess*

NeoGAF: Pats him on the back, curses Japanese devs.

 

[gutterboy44]

I have zero intention to ever play this game but I followed the thread just for the Durante magic. Equal parts amazing on his part and sad on the devs part. So lazy.

Yeah, not really even interested in the game but even just being a spectator of seeing this go down is too good to pass up.

 

[dreamfall]

Durante, the golden GAF GOD! Your work is more than appreciated, will definitely get to picking this up!

Thanks again!

 

[fallagin]

Haha, holy shit. Durante is a GOD.

 

[MaschinenZimmer]

Can Durante make DP play like RE4?

 

[Marjar]

It's a shame this happened to this game. Seriously one of the best games of the generation. Would hate to see technical aspects like this turn off people.

 

[Dusk Golem]

It's a shame this happened to this game. Seriously one of the best games of the generation. Would hate to see technical aspects like this turn off people.

Considering the game has always had technical problems, in every iteration.

I'm not defending locking screen ratio or other flaws, but also I can say that DP likely will not be a game for those who can't overlook flaws.

And a many thanks, based Durante.

 

[Raide]

Everyone needs to tweet Sweary. I am sure he will be all for giving Durante props.

A .dll is compiled code, where do you get the source so you can edit it?

Jesus Christ, Durante. You put all those devs to SHAME

Main menu and movies are borked, DoF and shadows are still low (unchanged) resolution, but still: 1 hour and 19 minutes after the steam download finished, we have a 2560x1440 render.

Yeah !
