    Thanks so much for this. Works great.

    Any chance of a fix for Outlast?

    To anyone in doubt I highly recommend buying this game, even if its short. Such games are rare and it looks awesome in 3D.

    Hello everyone ! Has anyone already tried to run the "Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse" a 3D TV PLAY? Produces 24 frames at any resolution ... FIX D3D9 - does not help ! There is a "crash ."
    Thank you! :-)

    Hey so my character shadows are all distorted and wacky. Wasn't sure if there was something I didn't do right. I installed in the right place and I changed the ini files.

      If your 100% sure you installed to right place. Try to reinstall nvidia drivers. Do clean install.

    2. eqzitaraSeptember 11, 2013 at 1:36 PM

      Also if you change your convergence/depth the shadows should move abnormally [Like its trying to land in place] If it doesnt do this its not installed in right folder.

    3. gen disarraySeptember 11, 2013 at 3:14 PM

      I did that and I have found that if the depth settings are past 30% the shadows go crazy. But at 25-30% it still looks fantastic, I made sure that the shaderoveride was put into the same directory as the .exe. I don't mind it being at 30 or less percent depth, just thought I'd comment and say thanks for the help :).

    Fix works for me, but the "cutscenes" are fucked up. I see the characters twice and I don't know why. I didn't change convergence settings or anything. This is the first time I need help with a fix.

      did you do this?

    2. DobiNovember 6, 2013 at 12:34 PM

      Yes! Sure did and also set Distrotion to False. It might me worth mentioning that I have to set the P13Engine.ini to "read only" since the settings keep resetting otherwise. But still regardless of the ini the cutscenes are flawed.

      Both screenshots right from the intro. First one is okay yet, second is heavily flawed showing the little brother twice.

      Its convergence.

      Regardless I made it so it reduces automatically for cinematics. Redownload.

    6. eqzitaraNovember 7, 2013 at 1:04 AM

      err my bad. I messed up and new instructions.
      Now redownload

    7. eqzitaraNovember 7, 2013 at 1:15 AM

      Weird. It doesnt trigger when cinematics end.

      Download that but you will need to hit F3 when cinematics end.

    Thanks so much for the fix! This game has amazing 3D after your patch. One thing though, could you please delete the post containing the spoiler on your blog page for this game?

    Cheers for your efforts, they are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the excellent work, Eqzitara. Automatic preset switching doesn't work for me, but I think you already know about that. It's easy enough to hit the keys.

    I'm using this fix in a stereoscopic Let's Play series. http://youtu.be/xTKLFOQz8Ck I'll also be using another one of your fixes in an upcoming video project, but I don't have anything to announce just yet.

    One final note. As is usual with many UE3 games, Helix mod wasn't loading SweetFX with the proxylib line. The usual fix for this issue works. I simply placed another DX9Settings.ini in the directory one level higher than where the game exe is. The only two lines in it are the General and proxylib lines.

      Have you tried Trine 1 and 2? :) If not - that's the two games which may be considered 3D Vision Showcase titiles :) IMHO.

      Have you tried running game WITHOUT launcher? There is two separete exe's, one for options, and one for game itself. Try running Brothers.exe directly. Also, try resetting your game settings in BrothersLauncher.exe. Maybe your resolution is messed up... Hope you manage to run this outstanding game!

      Does it happen in 2D as well? If so, best bet is to ask on game forums.

      Sorry, don't know how to get past that. This blog is all about playing the game in stereoscopic 3D. Best bet is the Steam forums.
