Optimization Tips

Original game is locked to 30 FPS by default; DSfix mod is required to unlock frame rates and improve internal resolution.
Install DSfix to unlock the 30 FPS cap and enable higher internal rendering resolutions.
Disable in-game Anti-Aliasing and use DSfix's SMAA for better performance and visual clarity.
Use DSCM (Dark Souls Connectivity Mod) to fix matchmaking issues common in the original PC port.
Ensure the game is running on a dedicated GPU in your NVIDIA/AMD control panel if using a laptop.
