Note: there is also a mod which can be used called souls "unsqueezed", which will remove a glitch where the outer edges of the screen will not update animations as fast. Also, while it is very unlikely, I cannot guarantee that this tutorial is VAC safe. - Спорт

Hey, i remember it worked for me long time ago, however now it does not? I do all that is shown, but after launching the game and choosing fullscreen the game runs same as before, with black bars on the side... come the fuck on FromSoft, are they really so reatarded to not be able to make the game support 21:9? Even with fking Elden Ring now?
Honestly thank you SOOO much for this! I hate how companies wont just seriously do this for us rather than leaving the hard work to people such as yourself. God bless and warmest thank you's!!!
Thank you for this. The feeling of getting rid of the black bars is so incredibly liberating. I feel so free now!
Took some trial and error but it does work (NOV 2023). Cheers man!
I found it would only work if I closed the game in fullscreen and then changed the mode to "Window" once I was in the Config file. Otherwise the game would revert back to the default settings and the ultrawide resolutions wouldn't work properly at all. Also I believe some notepad apps will open the config file with spaces in between every character. Not sure if that impacts anything but I couldn't get the process to work under those circumstances either.
Thanks! This is what I needed for it to work!
what notepad app did you use?
Thank you! I followed the videos instructions but it wouldn't work until I followed your instructions. First time I tried I also used the default Windows 11 notepad which added spaces so it might have been the issue. So, if it doesnt work and you see that GraphicsConfig has spaces in-between each characters do this :1) Unselect "Read only". 2) Start DS3 and go in Settings and put it back in "Fullscreen" mode. 3) Close the game. 4) Open GraphicsConfig with Notepad++ (the file should now be reset with no spaces between each characters) 5) Switch "FULLSCREEN" for "WINDOW" and write your screen resolution value 6) Save file and put it back in "Read-only" mode 7) Start the game, go in setting and switch WINDOWED to FULLSCREEN.
@@curious_g189 IT'S WORKING !
I LOVE U SO MUCH BRO
thanks a lot, man! These manipulations absolutely work, I now relish DS3 on my 2560x1080 monitor
Cool! Have fun.
Tried it,still works. Sucks what this fix takes 2 mins to implement,yet devs can't even be bothered to add ultrawide monitor support with normal HUD. :\
yep, and even this fix has flaws, such as the menus and other things, which the devs could easily fix.
@@ted_barrett i dont get it why wouldn't they ? its free money for 0 work
if you watch patiently you can see that the render resolution is still 16:9. i can see a clearly difference in animation beyond 16:9 on my 32:9 monitor, its stuttering like hell on enemys. imagine a publisher would release a game that is stuttering around the 16:9 frame. this solution presented here is absolutly perfect for me but would bover the mainstream, thankfully enough ultrawide isnt the mainstream......... linus said he cant go back from 32:9 monitor but i regret my decision. there is literaly ZERO support for ultrawide.
@@dex1986 The Dark Souls 1 remaster has ultrawide.
Yeah the devs are total f'ing trash. I've had to use such ass backwards fixes to get their ace combat 7 working in 21:9 ultrawide because they're too lazy, along with Sekiro which works but is also a pain to get working. Thanks devs for being the worst thing known to man.
Just started a new run, thought "this looks like crap on my new monitor" (uws, 3440:1440), looked around and found this. The game now looks amazing! The instructions worked perfectly, once I got the search box set to "hex". Thanks! Almost brought a tear to my eyes :)
hi did you find a way like that for sekiro?
How did you get it to work? I did absolutely everything right with the correct hex edit, set to "WINDOW" in xml, resolution is set correctly, and file is set to read only. I'm quite good when it comes to modding and this fix is simply not working.
@@hoguemusic9706 Same, the weird thing for me is if I switch it to 2560 1440 the 21/9 works perfectly but the instant I change it back to 3440 1440 the black bars return.
this is what i was missing, i just klicked search without klicking on hex. Thx so much! I knew sombody would have written a solve in the comments
Thanks for keeping this up and tweaking the title to show it's up to date. The SoulsSqueezer injector from Kaldaien / Special K was causing weird jitter while this resolution tweak works smoothly. Cheers.
SEVERELY UNDERRATED VIDEO. This has helped me with all my widescreen issues with DS3, something that Unsqueezed Souls can't even do.
unsqueezed mod is a joke, so many annoyances in that devs software. Absolute garbage
Even with the Archthrones Demo this still works, you rock for putting that link to get other resolutions too!
Thank you so much! It fixed it. The only thing I wanted to make different was the resolution for my monitor which is 3840x1080 (ASUS XG49V) so I used 00 0F 00 00 38 04 as the HEX code. So happy :-)
thx this was driving me crazy, finally game runs good at 21:9 and 60 fps pretty steady.
This was by far the easiest method ive found such far. Thanks man.
April 25th 2024 Working alright. Thanks for the fix!!! 🤟
oh my god thank you. I did the hex thing a while back, tried it and it worked, but it I needed to put WINDOW in config and also read only to make it work now! Thanks a lot man! love you
After a few mistakes it did work perfectly! Thank you very much! People pay attention to this errors: remember to change "FULLSCREEN" to "WINDOW" when you edit your config file and after that, as many other suggested, before searching in HxD remember to click the hex editor tab, otherwise it will not find the string.
I have the file open in HxD but im finding no Hex editor tab. Not currently finding the string
No mods , not illegal , just a couple of arrangements at the config .txt's.. 👍🏻👍🏻exactly what i was looking for !
this guy..... MVP right here....
I bow my head to you good sir... It feels lifechanging being able to go back to 21:9 and no longer feeling like a horse wearing side eye covers that limit your vision.
Awesome, thank you very much for making this game significantly more enjoyable for a person with an uncommon screen resolution like me! 5120x1440 in case you are curious ;)
But why
Thank you, This worked perfectly for me!
Running at 3840x1600
Hex code I used: 00 0F 00 00 40 06
@pak47 are you using the 38‘ Alienware ultrawide?
I'm another saying that it's working in DEC 2020. Thank you!
Thank you so much bro! It works like a charm.
you are a man of culture love your the electric state backgroundXD
Many thanks for this simple yet incredible fix! I was worried I'd have to use a mod offline or suffer black bars, but I can't believe how easy this was and it works amazingly!
Thanks! It still works in Jun-2020
Worked for me just now (dec 2021) - perfect, thanks!
when using ctrl+f make sure you press the hex values tab so that you are searching for hex values.
you are a livesaver
I tried so many other things and this is what finally made it work, thank you!!
love this video thanks a ton, didnt know what hex was or anything followed every step and boom, my 5120x1440 is all being used! looks so much better!
whats the hex numbers for that
Thanks buddy, love you. After all these years, we can easy ultrawide DS3
I'm always scared to do shit like this in case I screw up the game entirely for myself forever. Did it, and 0 issues.
Thank you for letting me enjoy smooth 3440x1440.
The weird thing is... why couldn't From/Bandai be bothered to just patch this in? If it takes us all less than 2 minutes to do it, surely it can't take that much work on their end to just make it natural for the game to select. :/
Maybe they are too busy working on elden ring
@@gtsozshwj oh please. Have you seen last footage? It looks like DS3. It's not like they're building an engine from scratch, they're not even upgrading it, it seems.
Thank you! first time doing anything like this and only took 5 minutes to setup!
thx, better use this method than that silly unsqueezed mod
Little hard to see but we got there in the end, thanks man. Very helpful!
Love it. Works. My game kept on automaticly changing back to fullscreen mode so it was a bit of a faf but you can change file to WINDOW regardless.
You need to set the file to read only (after you have set it to windowed). See 0:29
@@ted_barrett I did put it to read only but It goes back to window mode. I also can't read the GraphicsConfig anymore, it;s full of ? ? ? ?
Thank you so much dude you saved us all I just keep thinking how on earth you guys found out this solution.
Respect! This issue annoyed me in DS2. I beat DS1 in full res and played DS2 with the black borders and just beat that. I refused to let DS3 be ruined. Thanks!!!
Cheers Bro, now I can do my Dark Souls 3 first time playthrough stream!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! From Russia with love
Thank you BarneyKB, you restored the magic of this game (I could not get screwed into 16: 9 on the monitor 21: 9 through these stripes on the sides) now is a fairy tale! I leave you a sub and many thanks!
Thank you Barney! I just used your tutorial to make it work on Pop OS linux. Works like a charm :)
Great!
worked for me. thank you.
edit: for some reason NPCs and enemies on the edges of my monitor are moving at choppy framerates and then when they move to the center of my monitor then it is at normal 60 fps. so this isn't a flawless fix, but I have yet to get banned for it so there's that. using a 32:9 monitor for reference.
did you get banned?
@@Rarasinhoo never got banned for using it. i put 100+ hours into the game and was online the whole time
You the man Ted, thanks for this!
Still works 3/28/2021. Not sure why it wouldn't at this point but cool. Good tutorial.
Not working in 2023. HEX changed, but in game resolution return in standart value from list of available resolutions
Awesome! Worked like a charm!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much. I can finally enjoy this masterpiece.
It worked for me, thank you so much for the tutorial, really appreciate it!
Thankyou. This is the first mod I have ever done, I was scared but it worked great. You made it super easy and I am a noob.
Thanks for your help dude!
Thank you for this. Really helped me out. It really bugged me that I couldn't view all of the game on my monitor but now I can thanks to you. This still works as of May 11 2021.
still works 15oct23
thank you so much for this guide! It worked perfectly
Still works in June 2023! Thank You!
Works for 2k res december 2023, thanks Ted :)
Thank you so much! It works like a charm and makes dark souls so much better!
Still Works May 05, 2021 ( thank you for this fix)
This is fantastic, thanks! Seems to be working great now :-D
you are an absolute legend, tysm!!!
Thank you man thats work it, you save my life saludos desde Mexico
Thank you so much!!! Still works Nov. 2020 2560x 1080
its almost 2023 and THANK YOU
Worked perfectly! A fix... FINALLY! Thank you.
This does not work for me. I followed the exact steps, but as soon as i start the game, it´s in Full HD again. Even without any of these steps, whenever i´ve freshly installed the game it´s in Full HD, I set everything to 3440x1440 in the game settings, but as soon as i restart the game, it´s Full HD again.
The Dark Souls 1: Remaster doesn´t have any of these annoying issues.
thanks a lot, I would also like to add that if you want to play in windowed mode (so you can alt tab easily) using the program borderless gaming works with this
thank you so much broo good video
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks a lot, man.
Thanks a lot this worked for me.
Thank you so much Barney.
As long as you follow step by step and mimic his settings you'll be fine
Amazing. I never knew there were workarounds for this.
Amazing, thanks a lot for the 5120x1440 hexa
I love you, this is gamechanging!!!!
Works for me, thanks for the video!
Ah, Simon Stalenhag background. A man of class, I see.
OMG thank you so much !!
Notice that you need to put the exact same resolution in GraphicsConfig and in HxD or it won't work.
Again, tank you very much (2 years waiting a proper fix).
Love from France my friend !
Thank you alot, look sooo nice. worked easily and correct as instructed.
Works perfectly THANK YOU!
Worked perfectly, you sir are a sir!
THX man, just tried it, it works, we will see how long. :)
Shall your Light for ever burn bright, so other may follow your path!
Thank you finally a fix.
You... you saved my brain from the deep man, THANKS dud
Still working on my 3840x1600 monitor in December 2021, thank you for the fix!
TY SO MUCH BRO I LOVEU I LITERALLY LOVE U
Hey guys, if you are having an issue where you hit fullscreen and your screen just goes black and ends up squeezed or back to window, make sure Windows HD Color Settings is turned off in Win 10 settings. This is the only way i could get it to work on my LG Ultragear HDR monitor
worked like a charm thx :)
It always reverts back to Fullscreen 1920x1080 and doesn't keep the window mode:/
edit: config is set to windowed mode, both resolutions are set, its on read only
adter closing the game on windowed mode (which works) it starts up in Fullscreen
Make sure your config actually contains the correct values - try opening it in a different text editor to see if it has saved properly. If not, disable read only mode, modify file, save, enable read only
@@ted_barrett I downloaded notepad++ and it showes the same, correct values. i reinstalled the game, made sure to delete every folder.. maybe it's something with GeForce experience? but there's a but that doesn't let me change the value's...
also, funnily enough.
when I'm in the game and it's windowed. i can't switch the the resolution from 3440x1440 to 2560... it just freezes and goes back. but when I set it to any random resolution and THEN to 2560 (everything in the game itself), it works... so random.
i honestly have no idea
@bavarian9956 can you put your config in a reply as well as your monitor resolution?
@@ted_barrett yes, I'll do that tomorrow, since I'm not on my PC anymore.
thanks so far!
@@ted_barrett
took me a while..

My screen just becomes black after putting the game in fullscreen, with the music still playing in the background, then after a while the game changes back to windowed. I followed the tutorial precisely!
if HDR, try turning HD color settings off in Win 10
Thank you so much mate, very much appreciated :D
Still works, using this method since I like to play online & unsqueezed is ban flaggable. Thanks for the hard work BarneyKB.
No guarrantees that this won't get you banned though, use at your own risk, however I haven't had any problems with it :D
u got banned?
confirmed this hexedit still works, i had to manually find offset(h) 80 07 00 00 38 04 because ctrl+f did not work.
Worked perfectly, removed the black bars from my 16:10 screen.
FIXED: did everything made the changes, but didn't work at first. HxD = 00 0A 00 00 38 04 and
WINDOW
2560
1080
2560
1080
MUST CHOOSE PROPERTIES and check READ ONLY box then APPLY. Thanks for the Vid!
finally!! LOVE YOU
Thanx, worked perfectly for me at 2560x1080.
Great thanks! Gonna dive into this game finally :D
Have fun!
Perfect, thank you so much! Can't believe the devs can't just program this in themselves...
They can! They just refuse to for some reason :)
Just like in elden ring

Thank you 🙏 subscribed
thank you a lot good sir, still works, (April 2021) :D
Do everything step by step and it will work 100%. I am actually surprised, all the other methods other people use seem a lot more difficult - when in the hex editor (HxD) and searching for the original values - click on the Hex value tab and then search. Thank you to the creator of this omg you just made my Dark souls on pc experience so much better. One question - can this get me soft banned if I play online?
Thanks! As for the ban safety, I can't guarantee that you won't get banned but I haven't heard of anyone getting banned so far.
@@ted_barrett is anyone banned now?
@@Honorth One person said their friend got banned. I tried to get details and asked if they had any mods installed etc but they never replied, and I think they have deleted their comment.
So idk if it was actually caused by this or not, or maybe they actually weren't banned but just thought they were.
I have over 120 hours played with this fix applied and haven't got banned, so for me it's easily worth the risk. But it's always up to your judgement.
@@ted_barrett don't you know If I get banned can I ask Namco to unban? This is not our problem they have resolution that doesn't work
