    Hey thanks for the fix.
    Got a relatively big error though: Whenever i use the "sense" action (on the traps in the very beginning for example) the whole screen breaks down to flickering lines. I can still see the usual window, that gets bigger with every time a new sense object is used. Sometimes i can still see some of the surrounding environment during this but the picture error is always there.

      I am sure there are at least a few things that may of gone missed but game is nearly flawless in 3D and I don't plan to spend more time on it especially since the game has a pretty bad auto-save system that makes this very hard.

    Big thanks! I preordered it due to what the dev said ... I won't lie I initially did want to give them crap over issues needing to be fixed but since you asked us not to in the previous post I'll respect your wishes ... Thanks again Eqzitara! :D

    Thank You very much for the fix!
    Does it make a difference whether I use a SLI/Non-SLI system? I play on non-SLI and just discovered a minor issue with distant wafts of mist (looking from the railroad bridge to distant mountains). I wondered if the reason for this could be the fact that the fix was made for SLI...

    Another amazing game with beautiful graphics which really only come to shine in 3D. Sad that developers spend so much time, creating such wonderful art but completely forget the 3D immersion.

    Thanks!

    Hey thanks so much for this. I thought The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was amazing out of the box 3d, but I was getting shadows on things like power lines if I cranked up the 3d, with this fix though everything is really sweet, truly amazing gaming experience, thank you!

    Anyone provide any guidance about implementing this fix with the new UE4 version of Ethan Carter (Ethan Carter Redux)? I looked for the various folders to make ini changes and place files, but...the folder structure has changed I guess? Or is 3D not even a possibility with the game being changed to UE4? Just wondering...

      Seem to be broken on UE4, but fortunately ships as a different version, so fix still works for playing:

    First, Hi!! Thank you for all the amazing fixes!! I'm new to 3DTV Play, and thanks to you guys, I'm experiencing game in a whole new world! You guys are amazing!! Thank you.

    Second, when I'm downloading this file, Google Chrome say this file could be dangerous, it may contain malware. Can you guys check to see what's going on? It is safe to download? Thank you.

      Google Chrome will say dangerous files on many types of files regardless of contents since it doesnt actually scan.

      .rar / . zip will always be reported.

    This fix doesn't works with Redux version?! Please could any one give us some help?! There is no "AstronautsGame" folders inside the "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter" folder... Just bought this to play on 3d Vision...

      I think it will be hard to fix what Unreal Engine did for the Redux version.. for a game of 4-5hours I don't think that it will deserve several hours of the make the fix.

    3. StrahlemannNovember 29, 2017 at 3:39 AM

      The Redux version works pretty good outside the box (no fix needed) if you deactivate the water-reflections.
      But there are still some (minor) issues:
      - The main menu looks broken
      - Blood decals are broken
      - Sometimes there are some broken lights (especially when your down in the caves) that hurt your eyes
      Besides that it looks amazing in 3D, and most of the time (>90%) its flawless
      A fix would still be appreciated ;-)

    after enabling these changes the game is starting in 3D anaglyph mode. I cant figure out how to switch it to SBS for my 3DTV

      No, that's going to be in your NVidia Control Panel. For whatever reason, it switched to Discover. Can happen if it loses the setting for 3D TV Play.

      This games does not have SBS. We don't have a SBS solution for DX9 games yet. We expect to be able to do this in the future at some point. SBS is only available in 3Dmigoto, not HelixMod.
