Durante, the modder who essentially made the first Dark Souls PC port playable, has released his first graphics mod for Dark Souls II. Called GeDoSaTo, the mod brings a variety of improvements, including higher resolutions and sharper textures.
Durante, real name Peter Thoman, is keen to point out the work is in alpha stage, and as such there “are plenty of bugs, limitations, and many things I would like in order to call it “complete” are still missing”
You can download the alpha version on Durante’s website. If you want to know more about the mod, or how he achieved those graphical upgrades, you can check out an article the modder wrote for PC Gamer, in which he discusses his approach in detail.
