    1. I just played first level fine so I think this is the weird driver issue. Sometimes when driver installs only 3D vision has issues with certain games (I have no idea).

      Uninstall your driver and reinstall.

  4. Great work, works very well for me, your fix is definitly a great improvement. I set up convergence quite similiar to low profile, because it always hurts my eyes if everything "comes out ouf your monitor" but that is of course my taste of playing in 3d. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

  10. i got one question regarding convergence,may be a little noobish question, what is the best way to set an optimum level of convergence "not too low or too high " while having a decent amount of depth as well ?

    i read somewhere that to set a suitable convergence level is to run the game in 3d while not wearing your 3D glasses and set depth to around 25% , then adjust the convergence level until an object in the middle of the screen "for example Dante`s sword" is seen as a single object not a doubled object , then increase the depth to your desired level, is that the best way to set convergence ? or there is a better way to set it ?

    please advise, thanks in advance

    1. There is no right/wrong.

      Basically you can go as high as your tolerance. Some people cant exceed 2D like at all because it bothers them. Some people make you scratch your head over how they can handle it.

      Delete
    2. My only suggestion is to at least make models "2d" with glasses off at closest point(go up a wall and force camera on you or use cinematic). If its not at least at this point game will seem much flater then it should. Going past "2D+Depth" is up to you though.

      EDIT: I was talking about convergence. Depth you can go as high as your display allows without ghosting that bothers you imo. Ussually only people experience headaches/eye tiredness/whatever is if they go past tolerance on convergence.

  19. Hello!
    Sorry for writing here (and my english), but I don't know where to make requests.
    Could you make a fix for TERA Online? I's going to be F2P on 5th of february.
    It is already playable but it has some minor bugs with shadows and water.
    I would be very grateful for a fix! :)

  20. Helix, I don't want to hijack your thread here, but both Dark Souls files you have linked have the same scaled hud. Any chance you could upload the one with non-scaled hud or provide instructions on how to modify files. Thanks for all the good work on improving 3D vision.

  23. Please help! Whenever the Helix package is in place the game crashes on startup. I've tried the drivers listed as tested, the latest drivers, disabling SLI, etc. Nothing seems to work - but as soon as I remove d3d9.dll the game works fine. Any ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Help please! Whenever I run the game with the Helix DLL it crashes on startup. Remove the dll and everything works fine. I've tried the drivers listed as well as the latest drivers, disabling SLI, Steam community is disabled, etc. If I use the DEBUG dll then the game will at least startt but crashes right after the intro logo movies. Any ideas? I bought this game specifically because it was Helix ready but now the fix prevents the game from running at all. :( Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!! The end of the LOG.txt seems funny to me, but I don't know. It ends in this (repeats for a bit):

  26. Wow, thanks for this fix! It looks amazing! And for people that use 3D Vision Surround:
    This game is MADE for 3 screens!!

    Great work Helix!

    ReplyDelete
  27. great, i'm so upset capcom is not supporting 3dvision anymore, they did a good job on resident evil 5 and now again the same problems like the older games, too bad.
    thanks helix for this fix, i've not purchased this game yet, but i hope you will be able to sort out also resident evil 6 that really sucks in 3d right now and i suppose is using the same engine of this one.

    Also, is it possible to donate you some cash for your effort ? maybe a donate button somewhere ? i think i will not be the only one that want to support your job.

    best

  28. Im thinking about raising a fund for this Helix 3D project. Game devs are to be blamed for their ignorance for the next-gen virtual immerse technology, and you guys just constantly wipe their asses even when no one buys you a beer.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wow, this game was amazing, and so fantastic in 3D. Apart from a few rough edges (cutscenes, plus the 3D bugged out on me a few times), this is about as good as I've ever seen 3D. Showcase quality. Thanks!

    You guys should definitely add a paypal link for donations....if only to show Nvidia that people are willing to pay money for better 3D!

    Or at least link to your favourite charity so that people have an outlet for their gratitude.

  30. Any chance that someone will fix the DLC "Vergil's Downfall"? Most of the DLC works just fine, but one of the levels (I think it's #5 - Own Shadow) is totally broken. All crazy horizontal lines on the screen

    1. If you install a debugger.
      https://s3.amazonaws.com/-HeliX-/DllsModPack.zip
      [folder dll/debug]
      scroll though pixelshaders till you find the one with horizontal lines. Write down the pixelshader name [don't save it] on a piece of paper.
      Write it here and I can fix it. Helix probably doesnt own the dlc and neither do I. I was waiting for a sale but I own campaign so I can probably fix it[its real simple it has to do with helixs script]

      Delete
    2. err... if when you land on the pixelshader thats causing it, it will fix it on your screen.
      use numlock 1 or 2 to go through list.

    3. PS: 78 CRC32 0xD4a2c28d

      After a while, that one stops 'fixing it', and this one 'kinda' fixes it:

      Thanks. If this doesn't work, I'm happy to fund you or Helix the DLC as a Steam gift

    5. Nah, didnt work I was hoping it let me do full game dump. I did buy it cause I planned to play it eventually anyway though. Ill just add the file in. Probably in next two days, when I get bored and want to play it. Will reply when I do it.

      Delete
    6. Nice one, thanks. So far, I don't find Vergil as fun to control as Dante, but I'm hoping it gets better once he gets more abilities

      Delete
    7. Can't expect much as far as in comparison to Dante. Was very impressed with DLC though. If you liked the game its solid and helps explain whats going to happen in next one. TBH, your near the end.

      Anywho I didnt actually see what issue was because I fixed it prior to that. I saw menu screen was all messed up and fixed that and never ran into a issue again. I actually think this was related to a couple of very scenes in cinematics where they glitch in campaign [Pretty rare]

      Anywho... add to shaderoverride/vertexshaders/

    8. O yea, btw
      If you can get it cheap/on sale. Check out serious sam 3 BFE. I know you have 2 x Titans. I am just amazed at how well game looks with amazing rig. Like last time I was this surprised was Hard Reset which I think you mentioned before. I made comparison to someone then remembered you so thought I'd pass it along.
      *Shrug* just a suggestion.

      Delete
    9. Dude, you're a MACHINE! That was very quick. :)

      Thanks heaps. And I'll definitely keep an eye out for SS3 BFE. It wasn't on my radar before, but I'm always interested in graphically impressive games.

    If your reading this I added one fixed Vertexshader [I kept original file and made a new one in your folder]. This fixes several issues in Vergil's Downfall dlc.

    1. Np, feel free to update it.
      I don't own Vergil's Downfall dlc yet, so can't look at it.

      If you have any questions, you can send it directly to my e-mail, because I logon on NV forums not often.

    2. No pressure on buying it if you don't want it. I played through it and it looks good after that one vertexshader. Same as campaign after fix. It was just one of those minor things that really gets in the way.
