If experiencing black screen crashes or screen flickering, first pull the latest drivers and cleanly install them (as above). On Steam Library page, right-click on Dark Souls III and choose “Properties”Īllow any missing files to be re-acquired (fixes most crashing issues). The next step would be to verify the integrity of game cache, as below: As above, force a pull-down of that patch if experiencing CTDs (“Dark Souls III Stopped Responding”). The day one patch resolved most of our game crashing issues on the 970M, 390X / AMD 300 series, and NVIDIA GTX 900 series cards. This is also where you can manually change windowed mode screen size for Dark Souls III.ĭark Souls III Crashing, CTDs, & Black Screens / Flickering
You can find our file below (add < to the front of each line): If your graphics file becomes corrupted or tweaks have broken the game, you've got two options: (1) Delete the file (back it up first!) and use Steam's “Verify Integrity of Game Cache” button to re-acquire a fresh one, or (2) fix the file by restoring settings. The save file for Dark Souls III is located in the following Windows directory:Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII\GraphicsConfig.xml In the top left of the System page, check that the game is on version 1.01 or later. If you have manual patching enabled, launch Steam (or appropriate service) and force the game to pull down the latest patch.
There's an option to change them – but the save button didn't work. It was almost comical when, after fighting through menu navigation by using “Q” and “E” (instead of escape/exit), we couldn't even save the corrected keybindings. The good news is that the game is fairly simplistic in its graphical presentation, so most configurations will still run the game reliably. This is what we did in our pre-release review process, as we couldn't get SLI working on dual 980 Ti cards. If micro-stutter persists in Dark Souls III, we'd next suggest disabling SLI or CrossFire and running on a single card. Remove driver which corresponds to your GPU This can be done by:ĭownload newest GPU driver for AMD or NVIDIA cardĭownload DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)Įxtract & run, accept prompt to reboot to safe mode It's best to perform a clean installation of the new driver set, rather than just installing new drivers on top of the old. We'd advise first updating GPU drivers to see if the issue has been resolved since this posting. If you're seeing rapid flickering of graphics, almost as if it's being rendered stereoscopically and overlaid (but isn't), that might be “micro-stutter.” We encountered micro-stutter in Dark Souls III when using SLI and CrossFire configurations.
