Just picked up this game today and I would much rather play it with my Xbox 360 controller. I'm having quite a bit of trouble however due to the fact that although I have my controller connected and working it does not seem to be usable in the game. Only the keyboard and mouse are recognized and I am unable to identify any options that may allow me to customize/enable a controller configuration.
When I hit the home button I do get the GFWL overlay and the buttons/analog sticks are working fine in the overlay. I have also confirmed that I have the latest Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories driver version 1.20.146.0 identifying the controller as player 1. What am I missing here?I did also confirm that my controller was working in other games just as a sanity check. Found a solution on the Steam game hub.(scroll to bottom)Also, a more detailed source.(tip #5)The trick is to disable any of your devices listed as an 'HID-compliant game controller'.
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition – Message Board. I have a Dual Shock 3, it works fine w Skyirm, Rage, New Vegas. Inside of motioninjjoy it works. The vibration works and it tracks as it should. It works within Windows LIVE in Dark Souls but it won't work in Dark Souls. When I get to press start, press start and nothing. After upgrading to Windows 10, I no longer get any audio when playing dark souls. The strange thing however, is that if I restart the game in windowed mode, audio works perfectly fine. In full-screen, I tried alt-tabbing, checking the volume mixer, and nothing seems astray, apart that Dark Souls is not outputting any audio.
No need to uninstall. I created a system restore point JIC.Control Panel System Device Manager Human Interface Devices Disable all of your devices listed as an 'HID-compliant game controller'Remember to restore them when you're done.
Quite a pain: All things considered, its working now and that's fine with me until its patched.

AnonymousIs there a way to inset the HUD further than the default F3 setting?
This does alleviate the problem somewhat, but I still need to turn the depth down to around 40% for it to be playable. I think setting the HUD further into the screen still would make it so I can increase the depth some more, or wouldn't that work? I can live with 40% depth if that is what it needs to be as it still looks fantastic and I can only perceive a small difference up to 100% depth, but if I can get that depth then I would love to have it. At this moment I know how to fix shadows completely (include self shadows):)That why I'm preparing update for ME3 and not only for it.I will share new fixes which can be used as template after I release new version of DLL.Please, be patient:)Some screenshots:http://photos.3dvisionlive.com/HeliX666/image/504cd210000000/http://photos.3dvisionlive.com/HeliX666/image/504cd7ca370001/http://photos.3dvisionlive.com/HeliX666/image/504cd7eb370002/http://photos.3dvisionlive.com/HeliX666/image/504cd510000003/. Fish99Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome fix.
I'm using DSfix17-19-1-7 (the new DInput version) and it works fine with your 3D fix. The game is awesome in 3D, you just need to bring the convergence back until you're still able to focus on your character when he's in a confined space, like when you're backed against a wall. A distant convergence point doesn't look right in this game anyway because everything looks too small.One tiny thing to mention - I did have to change my convergence hotkeys because every time I hit ctrl+f5 it was resetting the convergence since the fix uses f5 for a preset.Thanks again.
I did a small test and seems AA doesn't work with this game at all(at least for me).Look at these screenshots (renderWidth 1024/renderHeight 720):- used your setting here (filteringOverride 2)- same setings, but aa bits from darksiders 2 (filteringOverride 2)- used your setting here (filteringOverride 0)- AA off (filteringOverride 0)I don't see the difference here, so it doesn't work just for me or it doesn't fork at all (but you didn't noticed it because of high res?).Anyway you can try aa bits from darksiders 2, maybe it will work for you. Presets rock.
One of the features I am not sure people are making use of. I actually patched Devil May Cry. Game is literally impossible to play without it.(terribly flat) Cinematics use crazy zoom in.Anywho I havent really wrote about it but XPADDER is essential to any 3D game I play thats third person nowadays(with controller). I can bind convergence presets to controller and it works beautiful. I really recommend people to try it. Push Down on thumstick left(for this game F4), and push down on thumbstick right(F5) for two different settings. I really wanted to write about it somewhere but got no where to put it so maybe someone will read this and it will help them out.
Question #1 So ignore your steps with Nvidia Inspector now?Question #2 I just got Dark Souls and the DSfix 1.9, do I need to install all the prior DSFix's? 1.5 1.6?Question #3 What order of unpacking and installing do you recommend Install Game, Then Helix Mod, then DSFix 1.9?Question #4 Best settings for 3D Vision? My PC can handle it.Question #5 Which hud do you prefer in 3D vision Origional you said yours was better so I figure yours was the Original and the scaled was the DSFix 1.9. Can you clarify?
Sorry.Like Is there a specific order of which mods to download and install? Like do I have to go order of precedence with then prior mods or does the latest mod include all the prior mods like an updated patch? And does it matter which order I install the Helix & DSFix 1.9 after I install the game. Thanks for your goodies code master Helix. Nvidia inspector used only for AA override via nvidia driver, if you didn't change anything there you don't need to edit the game profile (if you changed it, try Darksider 2 compatibility bits instead 0x004000C0 bits).
I just got something- maybe the song was about wheatley, not to chell? I’ll explain:well here we are again- they were both built in the same place beacause they are both cores.remember when you tried to kill me twice- first time when GlaDOS was controlling the facility, and then in chapter 9 of portal 2.oh how we laughed and laughed- both GLaDOS and Wheatley were laughing like psychopaths when someone was about to die.Under the circumstances I’ve been shockingly nice- GLaDOS was nice to Chell after Wheatley took over the facility.you want your freedom? Take it- Wheatley always wanted to be free to do everything he wanted. 
You don't need to edit config anymore to make it work.2. Any version of ds fix should work(but latest doesn't require renaming of the dll).3.
Doesn't matter if you're using DSfix with DINPUT8.dll.4. You need to turn off Anti aliasing in the game menu when using DSfix.
Also If you use 1920x1080 resolution - no needs to change anything in DsFix (but for DSFix setting better to read its readme).5. Original is too big for me. DSFix HUD scale a bit glitch - it has flickering and etc. My is more smaller and doesn't have flickering of other interface parts.The latest version of the mod include previous fixes.It doesn't matter what you will install first(for DsFix with DINPUT8.dll).
AnonymousAny news on this? I don't care about the 3D stuff, but I would like to use your HUD scaling option. I just finished modding the game, but DSfix's way of dealing with the HUD introduces quite a lot of glitches. Besides the huge size, what I don't like about the HUD in this is are the weapon icons which just take screen space for no apparent reason, but your HUD resize seems like the best compromise. I just don't want to give up the texture mods. I'd be grateful if you could make it work with mods.
Also, it would be awesome if you could make the weapon icons go away (basically do what the Minimal HUD option does in DSfix. I can't get my game to launch with DX9Settings in my DATA folder, the process starts and then just ends before the game even boots. If I delete DX9Settings and run the game with just the Shader override and the changed d3d9.dll it runs but in a tiny box in the corner. I've been through all the comments and tried changing all kinds of things both in DX9Settings and my DSFix but I can't get this to work at all. I just got the new DSfix (2.0.1) and obviously the newest version of this fix. I have a few mods running pretty much all textures, could those somehow prevent it from booting even with the override turned off in DSfix? I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out and nothing seems to work.
Its ok im not an expert but im not completely new either. What i mean, and im sorry should have worded it better, is my card is rendering 2 images when 3d mode on tv is off, ie a top and bottom image.
When i turn 3d mode on it overlays those images and since they are exactly the same i end up with a 2d image in 3d mode.i already had dsfix and dscfix installed when i extracted the zip into data folder. Dsfix is now a wrapper and not named the same as helix mod so i figured all is right in the world but i was disallusioned and it seems to run the same as it did before. Im kind of confused but this isnt related to the mod and more relates to your display.3D vision is frame packed. Which is side by side. Basically it alternate frames. Maybe this has to do with Checkerboard format that I know certain dlp tv's support. I really couldn't say.Post it on nvidia forums-3d vision section so you can get this sorted.
This seems to be something related more to your display then helixmod.Helixmod basically gets rid of the visual issues and perfects the 3D.It sounds like you are actually having an issue with the 3d vision software. I have finally started playing Dark Souls and WOW it is a terrible PC port. But thanks to several mods, I have it running beautifully. I use DSFix, HeliX's fixes and SweetFX to create an experience worthy of the PC.HeliX's fix does a great job of fixing many broken effects, though there are a few still broken that would be difficult, if not impossible, to locate the shaders for. The distortion effect around bosses when they die is one example.
The only other problem I've had is that targeting circles for locked-on enemies usually appears in the top left of the screen, rather than on top of the enemy. There was one time when the circles appeared properly, but I haven't been able to get it to work again.I have utilized HeliX's fixes in a stereoscopic 3D Let's Play of Dark Souls. It may be useful for those who want to see these fixes in action.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdT6cYIQtwE.
I'm having such an annoying problem with Nvidia 3d and Dark Souls. I played the game issue-free for 50 hours, and then I started notice this intense flickering on most bright light sources. It's gotten so bad that the game is unplayable. The artifacts are black and blocky and only appear around bright light source (skill lantern, sky, anor londo vista, etc).
Any idea what might be causing this? I just got a new graphics card and fiddled with some settings, but even after returning everything to normal, the glitching won't go away. I've even reinstalled the game. Nothing works. Any help would be more than appreciated! Yeah, it's definitely not ghosting. This is some weird blocky flicker that persists around any bright object.
It randomly appeared after I downsampled 4K and 1440p just to see what the 780 ti was capable of. Looks like my method didn't work. I think something permanently messed up the shaders or something in the Dark Souls directory. Nvidia doesn't allow down sampling over HDMI for 3D.
So there is no way to get a 30 fps 3D image with downscaled 1440p or 4K. I think it messed things up completely. I tried reinstalling the drivers after a clean uninstall, but that didn't work.
What a bummer. The game's such a masterpiece, but it's so hard to go back to 2D after 50+ hours in glorious 3D. Anonymousthank you so much for your reply. I think I might have found the solution.
Prepare To Die Princess Bride
I just bought a 780 ti graphics card and was down sampling 4k resolution on my 1080 p monitor. Since be forced resolution could only render at 60 Hertz Dark Souls was flickering at the unlocked frame rate of 60 frames per second.
When I reverted back 2 1080 P and 120 Hertzsome of those strange artifacts we're carrying over. Now I am going to go back in and down sample again had a lot 30 frames per second to get the 3d image to match again. Then I think the flickering artifacts won't carry over when I revert back to 1080 p at 120 hertz and 60 frames per second in 3D. What a strange glitch I forced into my game.
AnonymousHello All, I have just started playing this game in preparation for DS2 and i am now addicted to 3d, thanks.3d fix works great but I cant seem to save my 3D settings by pressing F7, each time I start the game the settings go back to defult. For example I prefer to play with the hud further in the screen (f3) but it resets each time I start the game, not sure if this can be saved though.Also I use this with dsfix 2.2, does downsampling the resolution (720p for 3d) as set up in dsfix settings work with this 3d fix?

Seems to work but I have read downsampling does not work with 3d fix.
