    Great job on this fix! Looks great. Bought it based on your ramblings that it was a serious challenge.

    I get a little white flashing at the edge of the screen, maybe a frustrum adjustment is also in order?

      Only issue I had was the when camera hit walls. Not sure what that is.

      Only seems to happen in the very first training round. For what it's worth, cycling frustrum twice (ctrl-F11) cleaned it up.

      Thanks again for making this game, it's really punishingly hard and fun. As they say, Cruel, but Fair.

    I followed the instructions for the non-steam version. The shadows are fixed. But I'm still having issues with the skybox & reflections rendering @ wrong depth.

      The profile fixes shadows. So that part is done right.

      Skybox/reflections is done by fix. Reinstall and make sure installed in proper folder.

    Hello,

    I have a big problem with this game with 3D Vision. Indeed, I have ghosting when I change name of exe. I've tried with several name and the only way to have no ghosting is no change the name of exe (but the shadows are broken...)

    Any ideas ? Thanks for answer !

    Thanks for your great work.

    But the fix does not kick in with new nvidia driver (344.65).
    Last working driver (last one i tested) was 340.52.

    Is there anything i (you) can do, exept install the old driver?

      I checked this, and I see the same problem. The fix is loading, F2-F4 change the HUD, but it's not working correctly.

      You might try different versions of the HelixDll to see if one works.

    I messed with it a bit, to me the shadows and the sky looked ok but there was a bloom effect that was off, that's what was making the sky look off. I tried using a debug dll to mess with the shaders but for some reason the game looks even worse with the debug, the ground was missing completely. Through a little trial and error I did narrow it down to the Lost1 post effect(FX\PostFX\Lost1.pfx) I just renamed it(.dnu.Lost1.pfx) to disable it and it seemed fine after ... didn't really play much though.
