Just a bit more testing.

I'll release it even despite the remaining blur issues, I just hope I can fix those in the future.

Don't think people care compared to the alternative

 

[FACE]

Anyone remember that post from a Ubisoft dev saying that doing this would be too much trouble?

 

[LiK]

I expect to see Gwynevere in her full 1600p glory tomorrow morning

HD boobs and nips

 

[Mupod]

Well, here's hoping the cheats don't work online but this does. Don't see any reason why it wouldn't, of course.

Not enough words. You're a good man.

 

[Lime]

You entitled rapscallion ninny!

lol, I gotta remember this for future reference.

 

[Sullichin]

The file is 80KB. I think (hope?) my hosting can handle it.

Might wanna pop it up on mediafire or something as well. I have some server space too if you need it.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Just had to come in and give some props man.

23 minutes...

 

[jett]

That's good work Durante, although in your picture it looks like it's still upscaling from a lower resolution, weirdly enough.

THe lower resolution assets may have something to do with that. Makes the game sharper but all the assets seem to be made for console native res -_-

The assets may just be at a lower resolution themselves :/

 

[Durante]

I think this might actually be true.

It looks like it's rendering at the resolution I selected, then downscaling to *1280*x720 (basically SSAA), then upscaling that again. Which is of course still much better than rendering at 1024x720, but not good enough. However I should be able to fix that. But probably not in the first version.

This renderer is pretty ... imaginative.

yea, i think we'll need to wait for high rez textures from the mod community to fix that.

 

[jett]

edit: Durante haha that's pretty crazy.

Nah there are some blurred jaggies and edges, tell-tale signs of upscaling.

Yeah, thats what I thought it looked like. You should see harder lines at native res.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I have a fever

 

[Durante]

That also means that in the unmodded case, it scales from 1024x720 to 1280x720 and then to the display res. Pretty wild.

You could still get great results by selecting a resolution much higher then your monitors native resolution couldn't you?

lol, jesus christ From.

 

[insane0hflex]

can anyone verify what kind of files the textures are? like .dds? Or can you even access them?

I made a lot of HD texture mods for Skyrim, I could probably re-tex Dark Souls too in a couple of days. at least the important things like walls, ground, etc

In the current state that will allow you to get great SSAA and slightly better horizontal detail, but still not more detail than 1280x720.

As I said, that's not good enough.

[Wes]

Good work Durante.

 

[Teknoman]

Could take the optimistic route, and say that this will show the message that people want Souls games on PC, yet also with what is normally expected out of a console to PC port/PC game in general.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

That sounds like a clusterfuck.

...

Good luck Durante!

Oh shit. Nice, it sounds like you figured out the cause of the blur. Awesome. Can't wait until your able to smooth out that hurdle.

 

[legacyzero]

FUUUUCK I want to buy this now, but I'm trying to say up money for my new rig!!

What to do.........

This will be a showcase title for your 1024x768 Viewmaster from 1999 babay!

 

[Tain]

it scales from 1024x720 to 1280x720 and then to the display res.

This is so cute.

 

[scitek]

What a mess.

 

[Avallon]

Countdown timer on steam is gone. I'm assuming it's out.
[Edit] It's out.

 

[jett]

It makes sense, that's what the console versions do undoubtedly, scale the framebuffer up to 720p.

I mean, it does not fucking make sense for a PC game, but you can see where it comes from.

 

[goodfella]

Durante, if you fix this you will be my hero.

Good luck.

 

[toddhunter]

Sorry if answered, but does this mess with online and GFWL?

 

[Betta Lines]

Yo dawg I heard you liked scaling....

 

[Jeramii]

Sorry if answered, but does this mess with online and GFWL?

no one knows yet. we'll know later tonight.

 

[vehn]

Does this unlock tonight?

 

[Jtrizzy]

So are people waiting for the file or starting without it?

 

[drizzle]

They didn't even bother to change the first scaling to whatever resolution you chose on the configuration, they just double scale it. This is shameful.

I wonder if just changing all 3 resolutions (native, first scaling, second scaling) to the same resolution would mean that the game wouldn't be scaled ever (thus, no image quality reduction) or it'll just pass a nearest neighbor up sample filter to each frame and smear shit all over the image anyway.

 

[Avallon]

Saying again in case anyone missed it:

Game is released on Steam, go play!

 

[Wanny]

Unleash the Kraken! (Unleash the fix!)

 

[Felix Lighter]

I want to but the eRetailer gods won't let me!

 

[toddhunter]

Fair enough. From the sounds of the other thread offline play could be the only way to go anyway.

 

[Grief.exe]

So are people waiting for the file or starting without it?

You can start without it, won't mess up your progress or anything if you put it in later.

Just unlocked, I'm ready to apply Durante's fix.

 

[antitrop]

Unpacked on Steam! Time to get my death on.

 

[Durante]

Unleash the Kraken! (Unleash the fix!)

Just give me half an hour to see if I can't fix the double scale.

 

[Varna]

Is AA in general working?

 

[BreakyBoy]

Just give me half an hour to see if I can't fix the double scale.

As someone who has a small inkling of what you're doing, please go ahead and take your time.

Thanks for all the work, btw. This is way beyond 23 minutes of work, even if that makes for a great meme.

Edit: In the meantime, I can finally start downloading the game from Steam. Dammit Gabe, 300k/sec is not fast enough!

Edit #2: Never mind, hit 2.1 MB/s sustained. Soon...
