No Matter What Settings, DS Looks Ugly /w DSFix

[iHaunteR]

In-game Blur + AA is off.

 

My system:

Fatal1ty Z77 Pro Mobo

i5 3570K

G.Skill 16GB Ram 1866 mhz

XFX DD 7950 @ 950 mhz

 

Everything looks pixely and low res. Even changed some settings making DoF 1080 and @ 1 for "Sharper" quality.

 

Here are my visual settings:

 

 

 

###############################################################################

# Graphics Options

###############################################################################

# internal rendering resolution of the game

# higher values will decrease performance

renderWidth 1920

renderHeight 1080

# The display width/height

# 0 means use the same resolution as renderWidth/Height

# (use for downscaling - if in doubt, leave at 0)

presentWidth 0

presentHeight 0

############# Anti Aliasing

# AA toggle and quality setting

# 0 = off (best performance, worst IQ)

# 1 = low

# 2 = medium

# 3 = high

# 4 = ultra (worst performance, best IQ)

aaQuality 4

# AA type

# either "SMAA" or "FXAA"

aaType SMAA

############# Ambient Occlusion

# Enable and set the strength of the SSAO effect (all 3 settings have the same performance impact!)

# 0 = off

# 1 = low

# 2 = medium

# 3 = high

ssaoStrength 3

# Set SSAO scale

# 1 = high quality (default)

# 2 = lower quality, lower impact on performance

# 3 = lowest quality, lowest impact on performance

ssaoScale 1

# Determine the type of AO used

# "VSSAO" = Volumetric SSAO (default, suggested)

# "HBAO" = Horizon-Based Ambient Occlusion

# "SCAO" = VSSAO + HBAO

# VSSAO and HBAO types have a different effect and similar performance

# SCAO combines both, with a higher performance impact

ssaoType SCAO

############# Depth of field

# Depth of Field resolution override, possible values:

# 0 = no change from default (DoF pyramid starts at 512x360)

# 540 = DoF pyramid starts at 960x540

# 810 = DoF pyramid starts at 1440x810

# 1080 = DoF pyramid starts at 1920x1080

# 2160 = DoF pyramid starts at 3840x2160

# higher values will decrease performance

# do NOT set this to the same value as your vertical rendering resolution!

dofOverrideResolution 810

# Depth of Field scaling override (NOT RECOMMENDED)

# 0 = DoF scaling enabled (default, recommended)

# 1 = DoF scaling disabled (sharper, worse performance, not as originally intended)

disableDofScaling 0

# Depth of field additional blur

# allows you to use high DoF resolutions and still get the originally intended effect

# suggested values:

# o (off) at default DoF resolution

# 0 or 1 at 540 DoF resolution

# 1 or 2 above that

# 3 or 4 at 2160 DoF resolution (if you're running a 680+)

dofBlurAmount 1

############# Framerate

# Enable variable framerate (up to 60)

# NOTE:

# - this requires in-memory modification of game code, and may get you banned from GFWL

# - there may be unintended side-effects in terms of gameplay

# - you need a very powerful system (especially CPU) in order to maintain 60 FPS

# - in some instances, collision detection may fail. Avoid sliding down ladders

# Use this at your own risk!

# 0 = no changes to game code

# 1 = unlock the frame rate

unlockFPS 0

# FPS limit, only used with unlocked framerate

# do not set this much higher than 60, this will lead to various issues with the engine

FPSlimit 60

# FPS threshold

# DSfix will dynamically disable AA if your framerate drops below this value

# and re-enable it once it has normalized (with a bit of hysteresis thresholding)

FPSthreshold 28

############# Filtering

# texture filtering override

# 0 = no change

# 1 = enable some bilinear filtering (use only if you need it!)

# 2 = full AF override (may degrade performance)

# if in doubt, leave this at 0

filteringOverride 2

###############################################################################

# HUD options

###############################################################################

# Enable HUD modifications

# 0 = off (default) - none of the options below will do anything!

# 1 = on

enableHudMod 0

# Remove the weapon icons from the HUD

# (you can see which weapons you have equipped from your character model)

enableMinimalHud 1

# Scale down HuD, examples:

# 1.0 = original scale

# 0.75 = 75% of the original size

hudScaleFactor 0.75

# Set opacity for different elements of the HUD

# 1.0 = fully opaque

# 0.0 = fully transparent

# Top left: health bars, stamina bar, humanity counter, status indicators

hudTopLeftOpacity 0.8f

# Bottom left: item indicators & counts

hudBottomLeftOpacity 0.75f

# Bottom right: soul count

hudBottomRightOpacity 0.5f

###############################################################################

# Window & Mouse Cursor Options

###############################################################################

# borderless fullscreen mode

# make sure to select windowed mode in the game settings for this to work!

# 0 = disable

# 1 = enable

borderlessFullscreen 1

You might have the issue I did. Make sure all the .ini files as well as the DINPUT8 is in the same folder as the DarkSouls.exe, I accidentally extracted it to it's own folder and it obviously had no effect.
