White Screen FIX (Using a mod)

[Jay]

Hey guys, just got the white screen bug today when i changed my resolution, i was pissed but i solved it. It requires the mod from Nexus named "GEM-GeDoSaTo" It's an ENB mod but don't worry it's very easy to install. Here's the link to the page ----

http://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls2/mods/7/?

Follow the instructions to install it. Basically, the mod has a built-in config file that lets you change the in-game resolution before you load up the game. Here's what i did.

1. go to that mod page click the GEM link, and that's going to put 2 files in your game directory

2. click the 2nd link and extract the files into a new folder you should create either in documents or on your desktop, your choice. ( Do NOT put these files in the game directory)

3. click the high def or low def link, your choice and extract the files into the same folder you just made. ( Do NOT put these files in the game directory)

4. Now go to that folder you created and extracted the files to, click on "GeDoSaTo.ini" you should see the available settings you can change. go to the resolution section, DELETE the # sign in front of lines that you want to use, and edit them to whatever resolution you want. If you are confused about this step, there is a readme file in the folder you made, check that out.

5. Once you do that right click on the "GeDoSaToTool.exe" run as admin and click activate. (Do NOT close the tool's window minimize it just to make sure it stays up and running)

6. Now try to play the game. It should work.

I'm not the best at installing mods or trouble shooting in general, but i thought it was at least worth sharing. I hope i can help. Let me know if you guys have any questions.

Cheers.

Is this a fix for the white screen on launch or the crash after some minutes of playing?

I wouldn't do this if you don't wanna risk getting vac banned.

Dude this is an enb mod there are no rules against it at all. VAC deals with cheating, this is a graphical mod, it only alters resolution and AA.

Does it alter the games files in any way? Then it's possible to be VAC banned for it, unless confirmed otherwise by the dev team. Hence why the Q&A says "There's no official word" for it.

No it doesn't. You drop 2 files in the game directory. Then turn the mod on. It changes nothing at all. I've been using it for a week now. I've been summoned, invaded, ect. ect. Look i posted this to try to help. That's all, i'm not trying to argue about it. This is dumb. The mod is on Nexus, which is completely safe. If you don't want to use this method then don't. Simple.

I'm not arguing, I just don't want someone to come back in a month and say "I got banned by VAC for using this." - Which is entirely possible. If people want to risk that then it's up to them, but I think they should be aware of the possibilities.

[Jay]

No one is going to get banned for an ENB mod man. Anyone seeing this, you have my word. I've never heard of someone getting banned in any video game for an ENB mod. Never. It doesn't change any netcoding, do anything at all that would give someone any sort of advantage. I learned how to drop ENB mods when i played skyrim, which shows just how innocent the mod truely is.

Skyrim has no online and no anticheat. VAC is automated, if there's any change in the DS2 process or the files, you can be banned for it. Check the Q&A. If it was unbannable, they would say "Yeah go ahead and use it" - Instead they've said nothing.

Damn right it doesn't. Which proves that these types of mods don't change any sort of online feature. They are only for graphics. It's the same thing as changing HUD in cs go, or HUD on any standard MMO. They haven't said anything, and won't saying anything. There are too many problems right now to just have one quick fix for them all. This mod fixes the problem, which is the game not recognizing the resolution change. But, it's whatever.

Huh? I don't really get what you're saying here. It isn't about changing an online feature, it's about changing the game whatsoever. It's not like VAC can determine that it's just a graphical mod and decide not to ban for it. Even if that was the case, there's plenty of graphical altering hacks that ARE bannable in games.

ESP / Xray vision for FPS games are a perfect example. Sure, you can probably change the HUD in csgo, but can you change the graphics so that the walls are transparent? I don't think so.

[Jay]

Whatever dude. I'm over this. I'm just trying to help, and that's all. No one is going to get banned for anything. Why don't you join some internet patrol group, and go talk to other people about all the things you can't do on video games. I had a glitch, and i fixed it. Simple as that.

Sorry for trying to prevent people from possibly getting banned. Please, punish me for being such a horrible person.
