==========================
As most of you may know, the Dark Souls port for PC has a fixed internal rendering
resolution of 1024x720.
I couldn't believe this when it was first rumoured, and when it turned out true I
vowed to do my best to fix it.
DSfix is a tool developed by me that does just that.
What is it?
===========
It's an interception DINPUT8.dll that you place in the same folder as the game
executable. It intercepts the game's calls to the DirectX 9 API and changes them as
necessary to enable a higher internal rendering resolution and various other
features.
Will it work?
=============
As of version 1.4, it seems to work well for many people, however your mileage may
vary.
*I can not and will not guarantee that it will work for anyone else, or not have
any adverse effect on your game/computer. Use at your own risk!*
Can I donate?
=============
If you really want to donate I won't say no, I'm not particularly rich :P.
Here is my blog post about the fix with a donation link:

It crashes, help!
=================
First, make sure that the .ini files are present in the correct location.
Additionally, the "dsfix" folder should be in that same location.
Turn off tools such as MSI Afterburner or other overlays that manipulate D3D.
Then try restoring the default settings in the .ini file
If you are using the framerate unlock feature, disable Windows "Data Execution
Prevention".
If none of these help then check if the problem still occurs when you remove/rename
DINPUT8.dll
Finally, try rebooting
If the issue still persists, then report the problem, otherwise it has nothing to
do with DSfix.
