DarkSiders 2010 Manual PLP Instructions

Game renders all well, & FOV looks proper. Menu & HUD perfect. Rendered cutscenes are full spread; FMVs are pillarboxed, sometimes to single-screen, but often bit bigger & bit vert-.

Fullscreen:
1. SoftTH (DX9 x86).
2. Start either Flawless Widescreen (FWS) or Widescreen Fixer (WSF; version-specific). Enter & enable your custom resolution in plugin's interface.
3. If using FWS, initialize game (once): in-game Advanced Options, double-click massive resolution & press Enter.

OR Borderless:
1. Force windowed:
A. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\Darksiders\options.dopt with hex editor (e.g. HxD).
B. Press Ctrl+G & go to offset 15. Replace this 01 with 00, save.
2. Start FWS plugin (don't use WSF *). Enter & enable your custom resolution in plugin's interface (fullscreen, no border).
3. Initialize game (once): in-game Advanced Options, double-click massive resolution & press Enter.
4. ShiftWindow (+ border = borderless. Optional perfect borderless: move 1 pixel down & right; remove 2 pixels from height & width).
NOTE: * WSF also works borderless, but causes blurry bar at game bottom.
