Is there a program like DSfix for Dark Souls 2?

[King Robert Baratheon]

I like the better colors and detail in SOTFS but most areas are way too bright and I would like to play in full screen but at a lower quality resolution. With dsfix for dark souls 1 you could lower the quality of your game but still play at a high resolution. The god rays and extreme sunlight in most outside areas in dark souls 2 sotfs really screw up my framerate (heide's tower of flame gives me horrible framerate issues and i'm farming the heide knight set there right now). Even the motion blur effects on the heide knight's weapons when they attack cause a slight dip in framerate for me.

Also if there isn't a program like dsfix for dark souls 2 is there a way that I can edit things like the internal rendering resolution or just disable god rays?

As far as I am aware there is no DSFix for DkS2.
No idea about interneal rendering programs.

Thanks but I maybe I wasn't good at explaining what I meant. In dsfix for dark souls 1 there's a ini file that you edit (it opens with a simple text editor and you just change values). Surely somewhere in the dark souls 2 sotfs game files you can find a ini file to edit and just change values/numbers.

Self bump because I really need some help with this. Idk what the devs were thinking when they made the outdoors areas of the game so f*cking bright. The whites in outdoors are so white you can't even tell the shape or texture of an object sometimes. It's just a mass of white.

I think it may be your screen setup, the game is no where near as bright as you have described. Why not just make it darker in your game settings?

I put it at the lowest brightness settings and it doesn't help with framerate (or if it does it's hardly noticeable).

How can this game even get your PC in trouble

[King Robert Baratheon]

Well I finally got the full heide knight set so now I can leave Heide's Tower of Flame for good (already beat dragonrider and old dragonslayer/ornstein).

It's sad that this area gives me more framerate issues than most other areas in the game.

Sh*t man, looks like your rig really needs a decent upgrade...

Capping the game to 30fps is also pretty beneficial considering they never ACTUALLY fixed all of the 60fps issues.

That seems kind of complicated and I feel like I might mess something up a long the way (it has a lot of steps). Also I imagine you could get softbanned for playing the game online with this installed?

The website for that doesn't give much information as to what it does and the supposed screenshots they mention that you can find in the gallery aren't there for dark souls 2. I'm going to use it if I don't know exactly what it does or how the game will look afterwards. People who creat mods for games always seem to either make things too complicated for the average person or are too vague about what their program does.

The installation can just be done as the global injector. Takes all of five seconds. Extract the file into the my documents\my mods folder, run inject.bat, run the game. Run the other bat file when you're done playing.

You didn't answer my question though, can I get softbanned for playing online with this? Also what OTHER bat file?

[Seamus]

There's two bat files in the zip file. I think the other is just called uninject.bat or something. As for the ban, not sure. I've been playing in offline. It doesn't really modify anything more than what reshade or anything would modify, so, I don't think it'd be banworthy.
