How to make make things working:

PLEASE ENSURE you are using a 3D-Vision-SUITIBLE Driver SetupTo proove or achieve, I suggest reading + using this:

1. INITIAL-Setup (only needed once):

  • INSTALL the fix with 3DFM
  • or download it from below and EXTRACT the archives files to the game install folder: ...\BardsTale4\Binaries\Win64
  • START "00_UE4-UniversalFix-2_Config.cmd" located in  ...\BardsTale4\Binaries\Win64
  • READ/FOLLOW all the things in the tool
  • ONCE if you have entered the Config-Tool Quick-Start Menu, JUST close it
  • Please read/follow the section below ("Starting the game and Ingame Setup")

 
2. Starting the Game and Ingame-Setup:

- START the game via 3DFM, or via launcher/shortcut/game-executable

    • you may need to wait up to 15 min if you run the game for the first time!
    • The game may have HUGE INPUT LAGS the first time and while loading (NEW) areas (because of shader caching) ....its getting better the more you play.

    - Set FULLSCREEN in the game options.

      • If 3D will not work, try ALT+ENTER and ALT+ENTER again, or STRG+T
      • If 3D still not work, read the FAQs from the link below

      - USE HIGHEST available Anti-Aliasing settings

        • The fix sets AA and AO as good as suitible for 3D-Vision.
        • Any lower AA settings MAY can make your image grissly, but its up to you!

        - Additional In-Game Settings:

          • nothing special, everything is up to you!

          3. Key Assignments in the Game:

          - All key-options are shown in the On-Screen-Display in game
          - PLEASE RAD THIS for get an idea how AUTO-DEPTH-HUD works and can be made game-individually cool: Adaptation option for the automatic depth of the HUD / UI
          • F2                                        On-Screen-Help (OFF/ON)
          • NUMPAD -                         toggle low convergence (ON/OFF)
          • RBUTTON (Mouse)           lowers convergence for aiming (on key-hold) - by 0% (use 00_UE4-UniversalFix-2_Config.cmd for change)
          • XB_LEFT_TRIGGER      lowers convergence for aiming (on key-hold) - by 0% (use 00_UE4-UniversalFix-2_Config.cmd for change)

          4. Problems? Read FAQ here:

          UNREAL Engine 4 – Universal Fix 2


          - Still have problems??
            • PLEASE provide detailed information about the ERROR you got, as well as information about your hard (GPU) and software (driver/windows version) setup
            • PLEASE provide a save-game and an instrcution to see your problem there to rauti@inetmx.de / Discord or @ a MTBS thread
