So silly of Namco Bandai to lock it at that small resolution. The thing where a console dev makes a PC port like they've never seen a PC game before has gotten very old.

That said, I'm glad somebody took it upon himself to quickly fix it!

30 minutes? He must have had some inside knowledge or had a pre-release copy. Regardless, that's pretty sweet. I can't believe PC ports are still getting this sort of treatment. They should be thanking Durante. Without the patch, that sort of laziness could have cost them a lot (and probably still will if they don't put out an official patch soon).

This article isn't quite accurate. Just because FROM SOFTWARE locked the resolution at 1024x720 (because that is what it was on the console versions) it doesn't mean it's a "bug". Also, Durante didn't fix it within 30 mins, it took him a whole week to do the framework before the release.

It was ready "within 30 minutes of release" - quite different than done in 30 minutes.

@smurphster - I'd think technically this fix would work for a lot of things, since it's a DirectX hack.

I think by and large FROM is getting a bum rap when it comes to the PC version. They said (for MONTHS) that they didn't know what they were doing, it took a lot of work for them to even get it running and that it would be a straight port. They were 100% honest about what the final product would be and yet people are still complaining and acting surprised. They should be happy that FROM and Namco listened and even bothered to make a PC version, most companies wouldn't.

If I remember well, there had been a petition by PC gamers for FROM to release the title on PC. FROM did so with extra content and although FROM will not probably lose from this job, there is no reason to complain.
