It turns out that Bandai Namco is currently blocking access to the Dark Souls I port fixing mod, DSFix, and serving Dropbox accounts with DMCA take down notices in order to have it removed. However, unconfirmed reports are popping up, claiming that this was indeed a mistake.
The DSFix mod was created by Durante and released all the way back in 2012, so it is unlikely that Bandai Namco only just found out about it and decided to try and get it wiped from the web. The fix brings numerous improvements, such as support for 60 frames per second and resolutions higher than 1024×720.
Durante posted an email he received from Dropbox on NeoGAF, detailing a DMCA takedown notice for the DSFix mod. However, earlier this morning, a new user posted to NeoGAF claiming to have new information.
The new post from forum member, Chariot, suggests that FDS (File Defence Service), a company hired by Bandai Namco to remove leaked Dark Souls debug patches, accidentally sent out DMCA's for Durante's mod, which was “not part of the plan”. This report is currently unconfirmed but hopefully it turns out to be true and the situation will soon be amended.

KitGuru Says: Obviously, if Namco Bandai is legitimately attempting to remove DSFix from the Internet, two years after its release, then it needs to get with the times. However, it does seem like this may be a mistake. Hopefully the publisher will comment on this situation soon and get everything straightened out.
the only email Namco should send to Durante is one saying “would you like a job ?”
Another big company with their collective heads up their corporate backside. The man fixed (well, a bit) their shitty port, they should have implemented his fixes officially years ago.
The game should have been at least 200fps cap and resolution support to 4k but still, who cares? Dark souls is WAY overrated.
Ever played it? It certainly lives to its hype, I think.
I agree, the only reason I tried it was to see Durantes work in action, I played vanilla and modded versions and the difference was night and day. Namco should not have released it to PC in that state. But as for the game itself it’s not really my thing, I’m not saying it’s bad I’m saying I (me,myself) just don’t like it 🙂
Garbage story, garbage gameplay, garbage mechanics, garbage controls, graphics, character design, map design, ect.
Ignorance. Go back to your linear hole, where everything is given to you. I have watched and read over 40 hours of darksouls lore. You are an embarrasment.
So you’re basically just a sourpuss that doesn’t like anything? Glad to know your opinion is worthless.
And you are a no life.
worth more than yours. at least my “opinions” are educated.
faggot
Why would you say that?
Because he has nothing else. :^)
Maybe you just didn’t “YOU DIED” enough. (^:
Listen. If you don’t like Dark Souls, that’s fine. But the game isn’t “garbage” just because you dislike it. I fully agree that it should not have released in such a broken fashion, but it’s widely known how to fix those aspects of it.
LOL! *High five*
I didn’t say anything about being broken.
Then that’s even worse. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s garbage. For that same reason I could claim your favourite game is garbage because I don’t like it, to which you would find I was insane.
He deserves a better workplace, though. Bandai is one of the worst. Also, if he got a job, then WHO would give us all those wonderful mods?
because 200 fps and 4k resolutions were actually possible back then… pfft 😛 you do realize that all animations have a fps limit in each engine, right? you will be able to aim around and shit, but somewhere along the way the animations will fall short. Don’t demand to much, kid 😀
maybe he’s not a masochist who also likes to do tedious, finnicky stuff 😛
On PC it’s about being available not about weather or not your system can run it.
Also, I’m probably older than you.
It depends on the game engine before your system. most engines TODAY can handle higher fps animations because gamers got greedy, but older games that run on a shitty engine just don’t have that in the code. For example, if you play a final fantasy game on PC from, let’s say, the PS2 era then the fps increase will just make the game go FASTER, not smoother. Also, your age is irrelevant if your mentality is that of a kid, Kid. xD (and by that I mean constant complainer, a typical trait of a young person today)
Final fantasy is WAAAAAY older than Dark Souls though… Not a fair comparison.
Plus Dark Souls isn’t even that old…
