'GeDoSaTo works by telling everyone who asks (generally, games and their configuration programs) that a given, configurable, arbitrary resolution is supported, and once that resolution is selected, it will actually use a different resolution in hardware, while pretending to use the other resolution to the software client,' he wrote. Durante is perhaps best-known for DSfix, but his tinkering extends beyond the borders of From Software's masterpiece and, as he explained on his blog recently, the vision for GeDoSaTo is that it will downsample any game.

The most promising thing about GeDoSaTo, though, is that it stands for 'Generic DownSampling Tool'. Writing in PC Gamer, he introduces GeDoSaTo for Dark Souls 2, which adds downsampling, the facility for future texture modification, more configurable in-game effects and post-processing options.ĭownsampling involves rendering the game at a much higher resolution and then having your PC GPU rescale the image before presenting it to your monitor, which is desirable because it gives games a much cleaner image with less aliasing. (Edit: that should say that it's out on Steam today and in shops on 2nd May.)ĭark Souls 2 on PC is a much better port than its predecessor, as Digital Foundry has been discovering this week and will report on shortly, but Durante, the maker of DSfix, still wanted more.

The industrious modder who fixed the PC version of Dark Souls has returned to give the new PC version of Dark Souls 2, released today in Europe, a kick up the technical backside.
