DSfix Texture Dump = 1 causing crashing

[Davington3rd]

Hey.

 

I have done a few forum searches to make sure no other threads like this exist but if I missed a solution for this my apologies.

 

I've been trying to use a couple of the texture mods I downloaded from the nexus, on realising they weren't working I did some research in the forums here. This led me to the realisation that I'd need to change the DSfix.ini file to make any texture mods I download work.

After editing the file and changing "enableTextureDumping" and "enableTextureOverride" both to a value of 1 the game would constantly crash on start up to this error: "DARK SOULS: Prepare to die edition executable has stopped working". After fiddling with the values some more it turns out that problem only occurs when "enableTextureDumping" is set to a value of 1, it works for a value of 0 and works for a value of 2 (although neither of those change any textures) the part that confused me is that other changes in DSfix have worked perfectly - I was able enable skip intros and all still works fine.

 

So my question is has anyone come across this? Does anyone know how to fix it? Am I just being really stupid and missing something very obvious?

Any help would be much appreciated if you need any more info or I was too vague in places please let me know so I can clear that up.

Thanks for your time.

I know this is a really old post, but I wanted to throw my experience in. When using edited textures to change the appearance of anything, the only option you need to enable is the texture override. The texture dumping option is designed for the people who want to edit the textures themselves, all it does is save any texture (that the game loads) into the tex_dump folder, so that you can open it with image editing software.

 

That being said, I had the same issue with the game crashing immediately upon startup while the the texture dumping feature was enabled, the thing was, I had to delete all of the DSfix files from my DATA folder and reinstall them in order to get the game to stop crashing, even after I had disabled the texture dumping feature in the dsfix config file.
