Windows Vista, 7, or 8 + DSFix 2.1
Problem: darksouls.exe and data.exe previously worked, but after patching/DSFix 2.1 only opens for a short time before closing.
Solution: See /u/VoodaGod's explanation here. 'Enable compatibility mode for windows xp sp3 for both exes to make dsfix 2.1 work.'
Windows 7 + DSFix 2.0 + Controller
Solution: If you're using DSFix, a controller, and the game won't launch, try disabling the FPS unlock. (thanks /u/lacrimstein)
Side Effects: Forces your FPS to be capped at 30.
Windows 7 + DSFix 2.0 + DSMFix + Mouse/Keyboard:
Dark Souls Pc Fix Download
Solution: If you're using DSFix, DSMFix, and mouse & keyboard, and the game won't run, try restoring the patched files with the originals by following /u/SirAwesomely's guide. And make sure to turn off 'Always keep this game up to date' in the game's properties through Steam. DSVFix still works in this mode! (thanks /u/SirAwesomely)
Side Effects: Unconfirmed compatibility between patched/patch-reverted players.
DSFix 2.0 + DSCFix Multiplayer Compatibility
Solution: Unchain DSVFix.dll from my DINPUT8 wrapper chain. So the chain is now simply DSFix -> DSCFix -> Standard DINPUT8. (thanks /u/sapphon & /u/JoshTheSquid)
DSVFix + Patch in Any Combination
Solution: Disable DSVFix as it is not supported by the current Dark Souls patch and the patch provides current DSVfix functionality. (thanks /u/Vylandia & /u/throwaway562205)
Alternative: If you want to use /u/SirAwesomely's guide to un-patch the game, you can continue using other Fixes including DSFix + DSVFix.
