Key points
- Using a Controller is highly recommended over keyboard and mouse controls.
- If using keyboard and mouse controls, apply the DSMfix to improve mouse control issues.
- Use DSfix by Durante to increase rendering resolution.
- A poor port of the console versions of the game with few PC options.[1]
General information
Availability
- A Games For Windows Live (GFWL) account is required to play the game.
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.
- A few interactive examples of the game running with and without the DSfix:
