dsfix made Dark Souls have better graphics and such too, right?

Normal settings? GTFO. Might as well play it on console for the same experience.

All jokes aside, drop your resolution. Run that shit in 480/720p, turn off V-sync and maybe some Direct X11 features if possible to get a huge boost in performance.

^ Most bang for your buck card right now imo. I linked it on the last page too, it’s a top-of-the-line card without breaking the bank @ 500-1000 bucks.

^ Really solid cards for 150-200 bucks. These days, more games rely on a really good processor to keep framerates high. This is something I wish I knew before I skimped on my processor.

I downloaded dark souls and tried to play it but everytime I ran the game it crashed and wouldn’t start. I’m pretty sure that my computer can run the game even though my video card is pretty weak. Could it be that since I’m on Windows 8 I would have a problem running the game? I just deleted the game and trying to download it again to see if I just had a problem with the install process.

Does it crash right when it starts up? Are you able to get to the options menu and such?

it crashes as soon as it starts up I dont see anything but a black screen it doesn’t even go full screen before closing.

PC port of Dark Souls is ass.

Indeed…

Anyhow, its probably windows 8. Here is a thread that may help you get it running.

I run DS on Win8 using the DSfix and 60fps unlocker and it is far better than the console versions.

With DSFix it becomes better than the console versions. 60 fps in blight town #1

Then theres mods

ANNNNNNND

you can opt to make the game look even better within DSFix if you got a decent computer. From there it surpasses console versions graphically and framerate wise.

PC port is ass only without DSFix/Mouse fix for keyboard and mouse users very much playable with it

@dirzzt360… lol, actually… yeah, I do have a Dell… fml.

I prob need to build a rig from scratch just for gaming. Fuark… Don’t have the cash to blow on that right now. I’m definitely gonna bookmark the links @Sonicabid posted though. They’ll be useful for when it’s time.

Thanks, peeps.

Spent $92 on:

Alan Wake franchise
Antichamber
Capsized
Dark Souls
Deadlight
The Longest Journey+Dreamfall
Fez
Half-Life
Penumbra: Overture
Strike Suit bundle
Super House of Dead Ninjas
Syberia 1+2
System Shock 2
They Bleed Pixels

My friend who only plays Halo, COD, and GTA said I spent way too much, I told him I made a smart investment.

Get me in that srk group.

sh00g

I tried it and it didn’t work at all.

After playing Infinite I’m super ready to get started on System Shock 2 but…

I can’t pry myself away from Dark Souls yet. I’m 2 bosses behind my PS3 file with like 50 less hours. But the last thing I did last night was permanently lose a bunch of humanity :mad:

I’ll get you when I get home, if nobody does beforehand.

Maybe you didnt apply it right. Maybe you just have a crappy computer. Dsfix makes the game run great on my pc, 60+ fps and it looks so much better than its console counter part.

@Exodus

Thanks a lot man.

I mostly play Civ V on Stream, but I just bought Baston and Mark of the Ninja. I have a very powerful PC, so I’ve desided to focus more of my gaming time on this than my consoles (except for fighters). That way, I can have my fun and patiently wait for better deals on whichever next-gen console I eventually buy.

NP.

Both of these games are in the top 3 or 5 of games I’ve bought on my PC, its only like 8 months lol but still… those games :tup:

Supergiant, Bastion dev, are working on a cyberpunk ARPG: [Transistor](Transistor - new game from Supergiant Games Which I am hype as shit for. Klei (i think), specifically the team that worked on Mark, are working on a stealth/information heavy tactical rpg that I just learned about yesterday. Also hype [despite not remembering the name :sweat: ]
