Introduction
Many existing reshade presets are using a "d3d9.dll" thing. I find those presets with a "d3d9.dll" can't really help me. I don't know why but it seems that only reshade presets with "dgxi.dll" or "d3d11.dll" work on my PC. I can hardly find a DS1 reshade preset which uses a "d3d11.dll" in Nexusmods, so I download reshade framework and decide to make a preset myself.
But I don't have any experience on this. I don't even know what those terms like SMAA or MXAO actually mean. So I just turn every one of them on and off to see whether it's good for my game performance, and the numerical value are kind of complex for me so I just leave them default. Fortunately I'm quite satisfied with some of the effects with their default numerical values. And these effects are exactly what this preset of mine contains.
Installation
- Download reshade framework from here if you don't have one.
- Double-click what you've downloaded and select your DARKSOULS.exe. It's often located in place like"steamapps\common\Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition\DATA".
- Click on "Direct3D 10+", which is in the middle of the three options.
- Click "Yes" when it asks you if you wish to do something.
- Click "OK".
- Download my preset and put "Taoerche's favor.ini" into the folder you just found your DARKSOULS.exe.
- Start the game, there should be some English sentences at the top left of the screen. Press "shift+F2" when it counts back to 0.
- Follow the tutorial, choose my "Taoerche's favor" when you need to choose a preset, and then reload.
- It's done! Finally! Now prepare to die.
Recommendation
- DSfix by Durante. This is a tool for texture override and more.
- Morten242s UI for DSfix by Morten242. This simplifies the using of DSfix.
- Dark Souls Overhaul Project by IlyaTaidi. This is an gorgeous texture mod that "aims to bring Dark Souls into 2017 with a huge texture overhaul".
- DS1 Optimization Project by diolator. This makes the DS1 even smoother and more satisfying.
- HD Player Messages by Augh. This is a replacement for player messages' textures in DS1. Vanilla version is too radiant for me.
