Diablo III

Diablo III - by mana84

BEFORE
AFTER

 Update:
Fixed shadows broken in newest patch~eqzitara

Description:
- shadows in caves and dungeons are fixed

Please, before using this fix read this warning.

I suggest to play this game rising the convergence up untill the cursor aligns with characters.

How to install:
extract "DiabloIII_fix.zip" archive in the "./Diablo III" directory of the game, required d3d9.dll is already included in the archive.

Editor Note
As of the latest driver. The profile for Diablo 3 was made incorrect by Nvidia. Please follow these instructions.[Instructions by Helifax|File by Skaut]
1) Download/open Nvidia Inspector.
2) Load up the new profile. (overwriting the current one).


Download:
FIX FILE HERE

If you experience any visual issues. ALT-TAB the game a few times till issues are resolved [minimize then maximize game]

    Nice job. I found the best way to adjust the convergence is to take off your glasses and turn it up there until your character looks 2D (count the taps between two images on one side of convergence until two images on the other and then go back half that amount). If you don't adjust convergence to your character, you'll see shadow separation on the ground.

    Convergence Adjustment: Open nVidia Control Panel; Set up Stereoscopic 3D; Set Keyboard Shortcuts; Show Advanced In-Game Settings; Check Enable Advanced In-Game Settings. Start game and use CTRL-F5 & CTRL-F6 to adjust. CTRL-F7 to save the settings for Diablo III.

      It works, just create a d3dsetting.ini file and just rename the Dark3d d3d9.dll to something else.

    in the DX9Settings.ini :

    [Preset1]
    Convergence = 0x42a8daa6
    Separation = 0x425ffffd
    UseSepSettings = true

    ProxyLib=D:\Spiele\Diablo III\d3d99.dll

    But nothing happens .. dont work.... booth dll´s are in the Diablo III Directory .. d3d9.dll ( The 3D vision Fix ) and d3d99.dll ( Dark3d )+ The Directorys darkD3_Shaders and ShaderOverride

    Mayby the name of the ini is wrong ? d3dsetting.ini or d3dsettings.ini

    the d3dsettings.ini are from dark3d

    Sorry for my Englisch im from Germany

    Thanks for the fix! Shadows and water are much improved.

    Was wondering if it would be possible to adjust the convergence for the text, map, and HUD? When I set the convergence as Ron describes I find that some of the scene slightly pops-out beyond the HUD. And, was thinking that if the HUD slightly popped out as well it might be easier on my eyes.

    Thanks in advance.

    To get DarkD3 working, I created a file called D3DSettings.ini

    In the file I have:
    [General]
    ProxyLib=C:\Blizzard\Diablo III\d3d9dark.dll
    UseEndScene = false

    That's all and it works for me. Make sure to rename your DarkD3 d3d9.dll file (mine is d3d9dark).

    Yes .. it works

    But the Game slows Down with 3D Vision to jerky 30 FPS with or without any fixes and the Mouse make Problems when you use low Convergence ,but I have to use a low convergence because I usually prepare the houses and the trees in the background problems in my Eyes .. difficult to fix

    Generally the Game makes in 2D 60 FPS and with 3D 30 FPS... a kind of frame limiter by Blizzard.. its Possible Blizzard Fixes this with a Patch ... or the Comminity with a Mod.

      But Skyrim runs @70 - 90 FPS by 2D with Texture Mods ... Diablo 3 is running in 2D by 60 FPS .. thats Something Wrong with Diablo 3 , i think its a Frame Limiter .. i never over 60 FPS but also never under 60 FPS ... Diablo is sure not so Hardware hungry as Skyrim with HD MOD´s or ?

      OK. So the shaodws work, but certain shadows that pop in and out of the players view are broken. You can notice this in the town where you can walk by a lamp post near an inn. The sign of the inn casts a shadow on the ground but the fog is overlayed over it.. This causes the shadow to be rendered improperly. The character shadows are all fine.

      I tried multiple combinations of alt-tabbing out, restarting, etc. I even switch back to 1920x1080 and it works perfectly. But if running either WideScreen Fixer or Flawless Widescreen and running at multi-monitor res, the problem returns.

      Do you know of anyone who has successfully run on multi-monitor with shadows enabled? My best hope is that it is something with my setup or options that is fixable.

    please help. I activated the advanced settings in the control panel which should allow me to set the convergence. When I try to change it in-game with ctrl+F5 and ctrl+F6 nothing happens with the image. (I get response for ctrl+F7 which saves my changes. This assures that I have activated the advanced settings.) Can someone help me? I already installed the FIX from this site and loaded up the new nvidia profile for the game that I have downloaded from here (see "Editor Note").

      I just tested it without using the fix, and it seems like it's working pretty well. There are only a couple of very minor glitches, so the fix may no longer be necessary. No grey screen or crashes. I only used the demo/starter version.
