Because I want to learn how to stereorise unstereorised effects. Right now I do not know if this is simply a header that changed with an update or if it is broken. Can you please guide me a bit as I would like to learn more about Unity shadows.

Unless there's some way to reload the convergence settings you save with F7 while in game? If there's a way to do that, not sure how.Qwinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551344511722159981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003459283230164005.post-13593511561316829742016-09-04T09:40:18.243-07:002016-09-04T09:40:18.243-07:00Word bubbles fixed!

Thank you tons for the incredibly fast response and fix, I was afraid I would have to run through in 2D.<br /><br />One comment: The insanely high convergence Tab preset gets activated whenever you Shift-Tab to pull up the Steam overlay. This makes the background cause a fair bit of eye strain as long as you're in the overlay, and requires a press of Caps Lock whenever you come out. Might make more sense to assign that preset to a different key so it doesn't activate every time you pull up the steam overlay - or maybe just make it a third setting that gets cycled through when pressing the Caps Lock key. Would eliminate having to reset the "Next Mob" control too. Otherwise not seeing any other issues, but I'm going to start actually playing now, I'll let you know if anything else comes up.<br /><br />Thanks again!Qwinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551344511722159981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003459283230164005.post-24546683482838486202016-09-04T09:25:32.715-07:002016-09-04T09:25:32.715-07:00Hi Qwinn.

In particular, the bottom part of the word bubble, the little triangular wedge that's supposed to point to the speaker, flickers badly, almost seeming to switch from side to side.Qwinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551344511722159981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003459283230164005.post-59585309634018691262016-09-04T08:51:10.414-07:002016-09-04T08:51:10.414-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Qwinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551344511722159981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003459283230164005.post-36743712085697064302016-09-04T08:26:13.049-07:002016-09-04T08:26:13.049-07:00Oh, in case it's relevant, I'm on a clean ...Oh, in case it's relevant, I'm on a clean install of Windows Anniversary Update.Qwinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551344511722159981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003459283230164005.post-64414815422528441902016-09-04T08:19:13.458-07:002016-09-04T08:19:13.458-07:00Hello. Thanks again for all your work. I'm h...Hello. Thanks again for all your work. I'm having trouble getting this fix to work properly. As others have mentioned, the issue is with the word bubbles. By trying various graphic settings, I've made them at least readable now, but they are still flickering badly with some letters stretched out. If I use the caps lock key to reset the convergence, it becomes totally unreadable, with the word bubble stretched across the entire screen.<br /><br />Things I've double checked:<br /><br />1) The Harry Potter profile is active (it is what comes up in the green text).<br />2) I have the fix files in the correct "Build" directory.<br />3) Desktop and game resolution settings are the same (2560x1440p, 120Hz). I tried both set to 1920x1080 and 60hz as well and results were identical.<br /><br />One sort of odd thing - the directions say to set the "StereoUseMatrix" value in the profile to 0 ("without the quotes"). I don't actually have an option to directly enter a value that I can see, I can only pick from a dropdown, and the setting that sets it to 0 is "Only adjust vertex position", so that's what I've been trying. I also tried to set it to the other values (all of which result in a value of 0x01) and it seemed to make no difference in game. I am using NVidia Profile Inspector 2.1.2.15.<br /><br />Related values that are non-default:<br /><br />Stereo Convergence: 0x3E7B091A<br />Stereo Cutoff : 0x00000001<br />Stereo Profile: Yes<br />Stereo Texture Enable: 0x0000002B<br /><br />The best results I've gotten have been with most graphic options (AA, SSAO, etc.) disabled. Have tried it with Vertical Sync both on and off.Qwinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551344511722159981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003459283230164005.post-89443435890101609322016-03-14T10:48:25.444-07:002016-03-14T10:48:25.444-07:00Sure will, thank you.
