    1. I have this as well. The landscape renders at a closer distance than other objects.

    2. That means that the fix has not been installed correctly. That's the default view of the game, that is fixed by our shader hacking.

      Or, check NOTES. DOF *must* be at normal. See comments three down.

    2. Disable DOF and disable Fake3D (compatibility mode) using CTRL+ALT+F11
      Also always include a screenshot..is easy to know what happens.

    3. Also, if you are using win10....use win7
      win10 is not a 3D gaming OS (atm)

    1. Make sure you have disabled compatibility mode with ctrl+alt+f11 (requires advanced keys enabled in the nvidia control panel). If that doesn't fix it provide a 3D screenshot (Alt+F1) showing the problem.

    5. That happens because same textures in the HUD are used in the Target icons and others, The fix privilege gameplay rater that some map. If you don't like how look the map, you can use Compatibility mode.....or use the Target icons at screen depth (you can cycle with "P" key).

  14. Guys, I have a 3D Vision 1 kit and a BenQ XL2420T monitor which supports Lightboost. Since Lightboost apparently only works with version 2 glasses, I'm wondering if I should get a used pair of version 2 ones (without the emitter)... they would cost 1/3 of what I paid for the 3D Vision 1 kit.

    So, my questions are: is it worth paying 1/3 of kit value to have Lightboost?

    And would it be activated automatically with the 3D Vision 2 glasses whenever I launched the game, or how would I activate it?

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No, that's wrong. Lightboost works fine on v1 glasses. LightBoost is part of the monitor, not the glasses.

      Ask this question In the Forums, or better yet, do a google search for this. This isn't the place for general questions.

      Delete
    2. The 3d vision 2 glasses will help with crosstalk/ghosting though.

  15. Hello, first off, thanks for your great fix

    2. Sorry....I thought in the first place will work copy-paste .txt files and add the lines for presets in the d3dx.ini.....but i use iniparams x and y, sames as the HUD MOD.....so will take more time to change those iniparams. You can try it yorseld, you already edit the shaders with if statemens and iniparams.

    3. Just tested this again, and it seems to be working fine. Win10 1803, Driver 388.71. Launches without any problems, and goes into 3D mode as well.

      If it's crashing at launch, you'll need to do some testing, like uninstall the fix with uninstall.bat, and verify the game files and your OS. The usual troubleshooting you'd do.

  19. Thank you so much!!! You guys actually make a difference to this technology and help us make use of our hardware when nvidia abandoned us!! I dont know what else to say except all the good you guys do will come back to you guys.

Not for money!! thanks again. You guys are awesome!!

    1. Set calls=1 in the d3dx.ini and see if a log file is created. That will ensure it's loading the code.

      Also would be worth doing a clean uninstall.bat of the fix, then reinstall it fresh.

    I tried forever to get this working on Win7 w/ 3x980, then 3x980ti and gave up as didn't want to waste anyone's time as I knew my side hardware/software issue.

    I was just fiddling around on my dual boot machine, now 2x980ti.

    Surround works PERFECT!, Win 10 v1607, 2x980ti, WHQL369.09, bezel corr 5960x1080. Didn't try Win7 again, it works on this as is :-)

  26. thank you very much for the fix, i need help, i want to enable sbs mode in this game, i followed the guide written by joker18 in the 3d vision vision forum (https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/912552/3d-vision/modifying-3d-vision-to-support-sbs/4/) but every time i start the game it crashes, i used 3Dmigoto-1.2.43.zip driver 372.54 thanx and keep up the good work.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Mad Max had some complications with the SBS support, but I was able to resolve them - make sure you are using the d3dx.ini excerpt from the latest version of 3DMigoto (the important part for Mad Max is the "no_view_cache" option in the line "o0 = set_viewport no_view_cache bb")

      Delete
    2. thax for the fast reply, what do you mean by "make sure you are using the d3dx.ini excerpt from the latest version of 3DMigoto" do i need to use the d3dx.ini from the 3dmigoto and the one in the fix? and where do i find the "no_view_cache" option ? thank you and sorry for my english ^^

      Delete
    3. The text you paste into the d3dx.ini (the lines from the [Present] section onwards) is supposed to be copied from the d3dx.ini shipped with the latest version of 3DMigoto, but if you followed an old guide you might have used an old version of that text without some of the workarounds we need for certain games like this one.

      Delete
    4. thank you very much for your help it worked, and mad max on big screen in 3d is amazing^^, in addition to what you said there is a (,) before the line (run = CustomShader3DVision2SBS) that must be removed to activate the sbs mode.

      Delete
    5. sbs/tab not working for me. Everytime I remove the ; from the CustomShader3DVision2SBS line, the game crashes. I've tried everything. I have already pasted the [Present] section onwards. I'm using 3dmigoto 1.2.48 dll's. Is there something I'm missing? Noob question: Will both versions(x32/x64) of 3dmigoto work???

  30. Hiya.
    I'm not sure if I posted here or somewhere else but I cant see my posts from a while ago.
    So ill start again.
    Basically I have never had a problem with 3D vision activating before.
    I had this game setup and running fine a while ago.
    I left it as I have plenty of other games to finish first.
    Now when I launch the game 3D will not activate even pressing ctrl+t does nothing.
    Games set to fullscreen 3D vision setup properly working with all other games etc.
    I have reinstalled the game many times something is just messed up.
    Funny thing is right now if I don't install the wrapper I still get no emitter firing up or a NVidia text alt+enter still nothing.
    But if I install the wrapper the game crashes at the very start when Max jumps off that little cliff edge and the game actually starts.
    If I start that part without the wrapper and save it I'm sure it will work after that but still 3D just wont initiate.
    I'm on windows 10 with the latest updates anniversary etc.
    I'm sure other people have these updates and the game.
    Tried different drivers everything.
    One thing I noticed is when I start the game its in fullscreen but I can see my mouse curser on the screen which is a bit suss.
    It would be good if I could find a setting file that has force fullscreen mode or similar just to rule that out 100T%.

    Thanks if anyone can help :).

    1. I had lots of problems with this game too. I think initially you should try update 3dmigoto dll's to the new version and see what it happens. This trick solved my problems with the game.

  31. I cant get Stereo 3D to activate even with no fix wrappers installed.
    It worked fine when I first installed it.
    I think I have tried just about everything I can think of its so frustrating.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, that's the first step, make sure it works without any fix installed.

      For DX11 games, they must be run in fullscreen mode. Borderless fullscreen will not allow 3D to kick in. If you aren't getting it to kick in, start disabling other junk on your system, like overlays, other wrappers, things that might jack around with window positions or sizing.

      One that I ran across that caused a different game to fail for me was TeamViewer. They add a stupid widget to every title bar, which broke fullscreen rendering.

      Delete
  32. Thanks "bob3b"
    Basically what I have tried reinstalling many times fresh no wrapper nothing added into the game Dir.
    Fullscreen is set in game and I have worked out its definitely loading in full screen.
    Alt+enter minimize try again etc.
    I tried disabling Fraps msi afterburner monitoring.
    I have minimal programs installed and running I don't use TeamViewer anymore or LogMeIn.
    In game settings I have tried using DSR changing resolutions NVidia settings I have restored to default didn't do anything.
    Different drivers.
    I used NVidia inspector changed all Stereo settings force stereo shuttering on.
    Even tried deleting the profile and using the wrapper.
    Also tried deleting the .exe and adding It again using the same profile just to see if I could get it to force compatibility mode on.
    one thing I noticed is in graphics settings resolution 1920x1080 @60hz.
    If I change it to 119hz it saves but after a restart its back to 60.
    However I'm getting 120fps in non 3D obviously.
    So I'm still at a loss.
    But its definitely in full screen. Set in game and also as I mentioned I alt+enter.
    Even tried windowed borderless then alt+enter just because I don't know what else to try.
    But I can definitely tell the difference between windowed and borderless obviously.
    Every other game no problems.

    Thanks.

    1. Maybe try forcing full screen with 3Dmigoto. Use the "full_screen=1" Already in d3dx.ini, remove the semicolon.

      Delete
    2. Another thing that might be worth trying is to delete the game settings under %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WB Games\Mad Max\Backup Saves\Settings.sav

      In fact, you should probably try renaming the whole WB Games folder out of the way in case there is a filesystem permissions problem there.

      There's also a second settings file under \settings.ini

      Delete
    3. Ahh, damn blogger messed up that comment - the second settings file is under *path to game*\settings.ini

      Delete
  33. You can try enabling the forced full screen support in the d3dx.ini to see if that helps (search for full_screen), but AFAIK no one else has needed that for this game so there must be something odd going on. Alt+enter won't tell you anything - you can usually tell if it is using real full screen or fake full screen by pressing the windows key in the game - if you can still see the game behind the start menu it is fake full screen.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thanks guy's.
    Well I had already messed with the setting's file in the game directory.
    I changed Fullscreen=2 to 1 then 3 just to see if it done anything which it didn't.
    I changed refresh rate from 60 to 119.
    Didn't do anything.
    It was working fine when I installed it a few months ago just tested it for a few minutes then had some other games to finish then it just wouldn't work in 3d anymore.
    I cant even get it running without the fix.
    So from your advice I just installed the fix removed the semicolon from fullscreen=1 in the migoto file.
    I thought for a second it worked as the screen took longer to become unblack but no still started in 2d.
    Also just deleted the saves/settings.sav files in documents didn't do anything.
    I only mentioned alt+enter because once its loaded if I press them it will go into either window mode or minimize then alt+enter again I know its in fullscreen.
    Its definitely in fullscreen somethings just messed with it on my system out of no where.
    I know the first thing I did when I installed windows 10 was upgrade to the anniversary edition to get it upto date and that's when I tested it and it worked.
    I tried different ssd drives reinstalling fix no fix all these tweaks forcing fullscreen on nothing.
    Nvidia profile inspector forcing stereo on.
    I have reinstalled this at least 20 times now its literally done my head in :(.

    Thanks for the help again appreciate it.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Also.
    in graphics is it supposed to be 60hz or 119?.
    Just one more thing I have been trying out.
    If I set it to 119hz it saves but once I restart its back to 60.
    I don't know if this has an effect on the 3d initiating.
    In the settings file in the game directory I set it to 119hz but in game it still says 60 and didn't make a difference.

    1. Plus its running at 120fps and Vsync is set on in game.

    2. Really not sure why you aren't getting 3D to kick in for this game. Try using DDU to do a complete clean driver reinstall and see if that helps: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

      Delete
  36. Yeah I have used DDU everytime I reinstall/update.
    Plus I use Ccleaner and remove anything else left over.
    I have gone complete OCD over this now I'm changing just about every setting for the profile in NVidia inspector now which of course does nothing so I have reverted all the settings.
    So frustrating used 3d profile manager saved the .txt I'm looking right at the MadMax profile txt and thinking how can it not be loading.
    It even say's executable MadMax.exe my game .exe is madmax I even renamed the file to match the profile but no still nothing.
    Great I have a game that worked in 3D when I originally installed it now no matter what I try it wont work.
    Ill never play another game in 2D.

    4. I can also confirm that it's working fine on Win7. Mad Max is not particularly special, we have not had an reports of trouble with it, nor was it difficult to get 3D engaged originally. (hard to fix, but not hard to start)

      If 3D is not engaging in this game, no fix installed, but other games are working OK, then assign one of those working profiles to the madmax.exe. That puts a known good profile in place.

  39. why is the game gamma so dark. when i turn off 3d vision (ctrl T) i can set the gamma to 0 and its perfect. then when i activate 3d vision the game practically goes black until gamma is at 80. is this normal or what gives? looks great by the by!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That sounds reasonably normal, although it seems like a larger change than usual. When you activate 3D Vision, the glasses shutter 120 times a second, going completely black in alternate eyes. That acts like sunglasses. So in 3D, with 'sunglasses' on, you'd expect to need to dial up the gamma or brightness. Depends a lot upon the glasses and monitors used. BTW, this is the point of LightBoost monitors. They automatically brighten when in 3D, so you don't need to manually change it.

      Delete
  40. I am not sure whether anyone would still be paying attention to this thread, but I am wondering whether anyone can offer any advice as I cannot get this fix to work at all. When I install it straight from the zip I can get the game into 3D mode fine, but there are massive issues, Max has white hair, and there are weird lines and artefacts and halos everywhere, just completely messed up and unplayable. If I run just with a plain install of 3Dmigoto with no shader fixes then none of these issues are apparent, the only obvious issue visible at that stage (in the workshop) is some kind of ghosting/halo effect around Max.
    Has a newer Nvidia driver, or something in Windows 10 completely broken these shader fixes? Is there anything that I could try to get it to work properly as it apparently used to? I would also love to play in Top and Bottom mode, but that is even more broken as it seems to split the bottom half of the screen indefinitely with a whole set of increasingly smaller splits of the bottom halves.
    Many thanks for any advice anyone is able to offer.

    1. in nvidia control panel go to set up stereoscopic 3d. Click on set keyboard shortcuts and check enable advanced in game settings. You will see toggle 3D compatibility mode is Ctrl+Alt+F11. click ok. when game is open and loaded make sure you ctrl+alt+f11 to disable compat mode. Also make sure depth of field (DOF) is set to normal.

      Delete
    2. Sorry, addendum to this, turns out I had compatibility mode on before. Unfortunately when I turn compatibility mode off things are really messed up - Max vanishes completely and the rest of the scene is completely distorted. Is this fix just too out of date?

      Delete
    3. Sorry greenmafia, didn't see your reply before I added mine. So, yes compatibility mode was on, but turning it off really breaks it. Note I do also have DOF set to Normal so that isn't the reason.

      Delete
    4. Also make sure you have your "convergence" ability enabled in the Nvidia Control Center, as I recall, you have to tap the convergence once to have it kick in correctly. I was actually going to reload this soon, but will sooner now and test. Reverting later tonight on current Win10 machine. Fun game and truly appreciated the fix by DHR.

  42. I'm having trouble getting this working. As soon as I launch the game, I go to settings and I don't see any options. Everything seems broken.

    1. Just tried this again, and it's working correctly here. Win10 1803, Driver 418.81. Only problem with the graphics was needing to set depth of field to normal to get smoke in the right spot, otherwise no flaws.

      If you aren't seeing any settings, game is probably damaged. Worth doing a check of the files. If that doesn't seem like it, try a driver reinstall with DDU.

  43. Installed this using 3D Fix Manager and the visuals are better than without. However, it also seems to kill using gamepad controls. With it installed, it just defaulted to some Steam setup where the gamepad acted as mouse/keyboard.

  44. Thanks for this years later. I get amazing 3D but there is catch, no UI! Pause menu is fully black and map has no icons. Gonna try to look for a suggestion on forums and tinker with settings as well. This fix + the Geo-11 x64 dlls and force_stereo=2 on main ini was my method.

    1. same anon as before. Found a solution on boards by user DerBlob, to get HUD back on I deleted the files on the shader folder that had 'hud' at the top of the document (once opened). Hud not works perfectly and the 3D is badass. Hope this helps you as it helped me.
