Refresh rate Solution - Full screen

[azure9]

Hi, I had a problem with the refresh rate of my laptot (a MSI73VR 7RE). The game opened in window mode and it crashed when I tried to open PC configuration. The problem is that you can't change te refresh rate of the game, which is 60 by defect, and some computers (as mine) works with a higher one always (120 in my case).

After searching on the forum I solved it changing the "RefreshRate" of the game from the *.ini file that u can find in "C:\Users\aantunezv\AppData\Local\FromSoftware\NBGI\DarkSouls". In my case, I change it for 120 and worked. You can play but still u can't open PC configuration, I don't know if we even need it.

I hope it could be helpfull for somebody (I had to play in my TV by HDMI meanwhile... and that's not cool).

I don't know, the word "overclock" sounds kinda dangerous in my head :s

Could it put in some unnecessary risk my hardware? I mean, they should fix this, right?

this is a really deep issues with a ridicoulous windows "feature" that overimposes itself over everything to change your resolution for fullscreen applications, and they removed the ability to turn it off so youre going to have to go to the windows registry editor and change one of the values so that you can go to the file executable propretes to disable the fullscreen optimization for that application. youre welcome.
