===[[Widescreen Resolution]]===
Dark Souls Rendering resolution are locked at 1024 x 720 just like it's console counterparts. However some modder at NEOGAF named Durante have created an 80 kb mod that can tell the game how to render at the resolution you wanted here http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/?p=92
+
{{ii}} No matter what resolution you set in the options, Dark Souls will run at 1280x720 (or 720p) and stretch to fit.

1) Download the [http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/?p=92 Dark Souls internal rendering resolution fix].
 +
 
 +
2) Disable in-game anti-aliasing.
  
The download link is http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/DSfix.zip
+
3) Place <code>d3d9.dll</code> and <code>DSfix.ini</code> into the game directory.
  
Known Issues (from the blog):
+
4) Adjust the game resolution in <code>DSfix.ini</code> using Notepad.
* Message text is not rendered correctly.
 
* Does not work with the in-game AA (but that’s just a blur filter anyway)
 
* Bad framerate reported on AMD cards, NV seems fine
 
  
Just copy both of the DLL file and DSfix.ini into the same location as the darks souls .exe file located. Edit the DSfix.ini with your notepad and type the resolution you wanted. Voila, it's all done.
