A Simple Reshade

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.

• []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.
