I recently started to tamper more with Downsampling, and I did it in Borderlands 2, Deus Ex Human Resolution and Crysis Warhead successfully. In Dark Souls2's case, the game crashes when I change the resolution with and without Durante's injection (GeDoSato) and it won't start unless I run compatibility troubleshooting and change the resolution back to 1080p. Also, a question: what kind of difference is between XSSAA and a custom resolution? For example, I have 4k (3x AA) 60hz and 2850x1600 at 100hz. It is obvious that 4k is a higher resolution, and will essentially produce less artifacts/jaggies, so are custom resolutions effective? I felt that 4k is a bit too much; it is only good for old/weak games and taking screenshots.

I am using Durante's GedoSato. The game crashes when I change the resolution even when I am using the injection. Previously, it didn't change the resolution and when I press + it says "not downsampling"; the game starts in windowed mode when I restart after changing the resolution WITH the GedoSato injection. Now it simply crashes.
