Improvements
DSfix by Durante
- No matter what resolution you set in the options, Dark Souls will render an anamorphic 1024x720 picture and stretch it to fit the user's chosen resolution.
Game window renders in small box unless in-game anti-aliasing is turned off while using DSfix.
- Comparison between unmodded and Durante moddded game.

- Controller must be plugged in before the game starts.[4]
- Use of controller is highly recommended.[5]

Issues fixed
General low performance
Low Performance ATI/AMD
- Appears that ATI/AMD graphics cards are underutilised.
Low Performance Nvidia Optimus
Crash VSFilter.dll
- Crash occurs after start screen.[6]
Progress bar stuck during installation
- Problem may be caused by setup utility getting stuck whilst installing DirectX and Games For Windows Live (GFWL).
Minimize with multiple monitors
- When playing with two screens, the game seems to minimize.
Sounds (ambient) broken by default
- Various sounds like ambient sounds do not work because the game is set to 5.1 surround and sounds are lost if your PC is set to stereo.
