3D Vision fix for Dark Souls: REMASTERED. With extra hotkeys to modify some effects and a custom HUD to show the current values.
Update (2022-01-13): fixed TXAA, fixed radial blur, and made a better fix for specular reflections so external resources aren't needed (the FOV is always available for the calculation).
Fixed
- Water.
- Snow and poison swamp textures.
- Haloing problems (fog gates, bonfires, etc).
- Sun.
- Light shafts.
- Stereoized specular reflections and parallax occlusion mapping.
- Radial blur.
- TXAA.
Installation
- Download this file and extract its contents in the "DARK SOULS REMASTERED" folder, where "DarkSoulsRemastered.exe" is.
- Run the game and let it overwrite the Nvidia profile.
Hotkeys and custom HUD
In this fix I have included a custom HUD that can be opened with the "c" key.
It shows the current state of 3D Vision and the effects linked to the hotkeys I made.
The gamma and brightness modifications aren't done in post processing. They are linked to all shaders that control geometry, so for example a lower gamma in the Tomb of Giants area can reveal geometry that was hidden by darkness.

You can completely remove this HUD and advanced hotkeys if you comment or delete the "include = ShaderFixes\help.ini" line in "d3dx.ini".
List of normal hotkeys (numbers aren't from the numpad):
- 1: convergence presets (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4). 2.5 by default.
- 2: HUD depth presets. 40% depth by default.
- 3: HUD toggle.
- 4: multiple gamma presets (increase only). I recommend the advanced hotkey.
- 5: multiple brightness presets (increase only). I recommend the advanced hotkey.
- 6: multiple bloom presets (increase only). I recommend the advanced hotkey.
- 7: it puts back specular reflections to surface depth. I don't recommend doing that.
- 8: it switches gamma, brightness and bloom back to the default settings. Press it again to go back to your custom settings.
- F10: everything goes back to the default settings.
Advanced hotkeys (as shown in the screenshot):
- Ctrl+left/right arrows: decrease/increase gamma.
- Shift+left/right arrows: decrease/increase brightness.
- Shift+down/up arrows: decrease/increase bloom.
If you like the custom gamma, brightness and bloom settings you have configured, you can save them as default in "d3dx.ini", changing the "z=1", "w=1" and "x1=1" lines respectively. You can do this even without closing the game. Press F10 ingame after making changes to reload the shaders.
