Support NeoGAF

[ComputerMKII]

I can confirm that this one will not "just work".

Also, there should be some manner of controller support, just not for the 360 controller.

Yep, looks like Deadly Premonition.

 

[Parsnip]

Oh my. So do we need a tool like x360ce, except the opposite?

 

[Josh7289]

God damn, Japanese developers.

 

[afternoon delight]

XPADDER, ASSEMBLE!

 

[Durante]

Better? Somewhat better.

If we're lucky, that's the top left 1280x720 of a 1920x1080 render.

Still looks pretty insane/broken, hope it's just the game, no idea what it's supposed to look like.

720p justify?

Edit: damn it that's too quick Durante!!!

Looks about right

 

[Miguel81]

I swear, some of these fledgling japanese developers need to hire Durante as a PC technical advisor.

This part is supposed to look pretty much like that.

HOOOOOOOOORAYYYY

Or MS... sorry I had to say it. Possibly my first ban incoming

 

[Dario ff]

Amazing discovery #1:

This game does not use DirectInput. It uses the positively ancient joyGetPosEx function in the WinMM library.

Man you just gave me a bit of nostalgia with that. Pre-DirectInput controller support...

 

[loganclaws]

Durante, I'm buying you dark souls 2 on steam if you fix this one.

Yeah that's the right kind of broken.

holy fuck lol

That's Deadly Premonition, all right. Nice progress, though!

Still, having to bust out XPadder or JoyToKey for a newly released port makes me get an angry twitch in my eye. No DirectInput usage on a Windows port, Jesus Christ on a goddamn stick.

But I want to play it on PC not Xbone.

 

[Guri]

Thank you for your efforts, Durante!

My other question for this port remains: what's the chance of mods appearing? Even if they don't have mod support.

I hope we get tons of mods, specially x360 controller mods. I really don't want to play it on a keyboard, I want to use my DS3 :/

 

[Tain]

no 360 controller support? aaahahahah

 

[duotres]

Looking Good!
Are you calling it DpFix 1.0? Thanks Durante!

 

[catabarez]

Has any talked to the publishers about this? No 360 controller support is strange.

 

[Sub_Level]

no 360 controller support? aaahahahah

Deadly Prohibition

I just sent them a tweet, let's see what I can get from them

Their programmers need to put down the crack pipe. This game was released on Xbox 360, for which the standard input API is XInput. For proper 360 controller support, they had to do minimal porting work.

By the way, what did the new patch from them fix?

 

[Marjar]

I had a bad feeling about this.

Oh well, it's Deadly Premonition. Still having no graphical options is a goddamn joke.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Japanese devs: Stop embarrassing yourselves.

 

[angular graphics]

Jesus Christ, no 360 gamepad support? What a joke! We are looking at sub-Dark Souls porting competency here.

 

[Parsnip]

Oh by the way, if you haven't played the game before and don't want spoilers, steer away from the soundtrack. Some of the track titles combined with the music might give away some stuff about the plot.

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.

 

[Red Blaster]

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.

 

[Durante]

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.

 

[Jocchan]

Awesome.

 

[phantomspiker]

excellent work so far dude!

 

[ViviOggi]

I think it's already safe to say that you're the best

You're incredible dude.

 

[Josh7289]

How do you do that?

 

[AkuMifune]

I feel like I'm watching the watergate scandal unfold or something.

Expose those lies!

 

[Takamura-San]

Are you a Wizard?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Time for a random person on the Internet to fix it within 23 minutes of release!

 

[Syf]

Durante you're the best man. This is now the second horribly lazy port by Swery. Will be avoiding their games in the future.

 

[Parsnip]

Based Durante.

 

[Alien Bob]

Amazing. Fantastic. Time to have your tag changed to "Swery to ME!"

 

[angular graphics]

It looks like this port is about to get Durante'd.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I hope you have a job in the biz, Durante.

 

[duotres]

Congrats!

It's unbelievable that games need this kind of work in 2013.

 

[Intheflorsh]

You should just be Namco Bandai's pc port guy, Durante.

 

[buddha0991]

Durante you're the best man. This is now the second horribly lazy port by Swery. Will be avoiding their games in the future.

isn't both of these not done by Swery's team?

 

[Durante]

How do you do that?

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.
