Dark Souls Performance Improvement

Do you mean unlocking 60FPS? Because it's possible to do with DSFix, but then glitches appear.

There is a thread on community hub how to fix FPS etc, check it out.

Also, You need a steam community profile ;p

Dark souls is limited to 30 fps. Not much you can do but use an unofficial mod to fix that. Problem is its glitchy and bad stuff could happen. Tis why I just deal with it.

I regret having bought this game, it is very disrespectful to the gamer, I can play it, but after many attempts with DSfix

I made a file for some friends and I , it's all the best improvements for the game, just put this on your DATA folder (do a backup before) and change the DSfix.ini file for your resolutions and you will have this:
1 2 3 4 5

My others Screenshots

I... never encountered any problems graphics and performance-wise with this. And I have like a dual core 3.6 GhZ CPU, a Sapphire Radeon HD4870 1GB GPU, and like, 6 Gs of RAM.

Although I must say, I'm getting pissed at these horrible fucking ports that seem to infest the market these days. It seems like only half of my games would let me even configure my controls because "eets eks bawks kontrawls", and it seems like a freaking rarity to get a game that doesn't tell you to press A, B, X or Y instead of some keyboard bindings.

If they want the PC audience, then why don't they make a small effort to get it? I imagine these things aren't that hard to implement, are they?

I'm not sure if Dark Souls has any graphics options, but if it does try setting everything on low. It's a horrible port and your graphics cards aren't very good, so don't expect the game to run very well.

Did you try to set lower values in the DSfix.ini ?

Try with this, after install DSFix, go to dsfix.ini and find this line "FPSthreshold" then setup in 60 like this "FPSthreshold 60". I improved more my fps with that.
I assume you disabled AA and Motion Blur...

this may help

I've used DSFix, (previous versions, it's been a while since I played it)
Although no steamworks for me, rather stand alone, I have AMD, and ATI vga, so no framedrops for me, whatsoever.
All you can do is edit and tweak the INI file according to author's indications, google for others suggestions as well,
in my case the game worked flawlessly, looked GREAT (comparing vanilla console version, to what DSFix allows you to do).

Just see what settings work best for you, had to do with AA and filters, if resolution is setted too high you don't need filters.

I heard that you might get your game banned from GFWL if you use DSfix or something to unlock FPS. Is it true? Cause I can't handle 30 FPS and that's why I don't want to play the game and I don't wanna unlock it's FPS cause I don't wanna lose it -.-'

Have you edited the DSFix.ini file? You might want to do that. In fact, I highly suggest you edit some of the settings in that file.

It will still require a fairly beefy computer, but even then you'll probably get some FPS drop in Blighttown. Blighttown is just horrible.

Maybe this will help.

My PC sucks, AMD Athlon 5600+(dual 2.8ghz), 3gb ram, geforce 460GTX and I never lagged on Dark Souls.

Did you read the whole install instructions in the DSFix readme? BTW I don't know where you got your DSFix and I see no one has posted the Official DSFix webpage yet.
Also if you want to play with Mouse and Keyboard (which is really better than controller imo) get DSMFix.

If you are playing with Mouse and Keyboard, maybe the stuttering you are refering to is the really crappy mouse mapping, the mouse isn't smooth at all and just skips by like 5mm gaps all over the screen and it's really awkward and unplayable imo. DSMFix will fix it.

unlock the framerate to 60 fps with dsfix

by default the game engine locks the fps at 15 if it can't reach 30 (so even at 29 fps you would still get only 15), by unlocking the fps it can go anywhere between 15 and 30 and that could be a huge improvement in certain areas like Blighttown
