 Additionally, the "dsfix" folder should be in that same location.
 Turn off tools such as MSI Afterburner or other overlays that manipulate D3D.
 Then try restoring the default settings in the .ini file
+If you are using the framerate unlock feature,  disable Windows "Data Execution Prevention".
 If none of these help then check if the problem still occurs when you remove/rename DINPUT8.dll
 Finally, try rebooting
 If the issue still persists, then report the problem, otherwise it has nothing to do with DSfix.

 - Added 2 new ambient occlusion algorithms: HBAO and SCAO
 - Added scale option for ambient occlusion on lower-end systems
 - Disabled hotkeys when Dark Souls is not active
 - Reinstated the texture filtering option with slightly better implementation
+- Small bug fixes in frame rate limits calculation

 - Re-implemented the FPS limiter. It's quite exact now and also performed at a better point in time 
   (before presenting the frame)
 - Made frame period calculation (for animation) slightly more exact
 - Added FPS thresholding for SMAA
