Fixed:
-Lighting / shadows
-HUD
-Water reflections (mostly)
-Lens flares and sun
-Cloth textures
-Removed vignette effect that renders in 2D
-Bonus: Able to make magical effects and light bloom transparent (I found the effects made fights in tight spaces difficult due to not being able to see through them)
-Also included wmvcore.dll file that fixes video playback issue for Windows 10 users
Not fixed:
-Some lighting reflections at distance or far angles clip slightly
Updated on 2/9/2016 to version 2.0 with update that should fix broken lighting on monitors with high separation

Thanks you Man,good job ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the job, great work :)
ReplyDeleteyou roxxx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Beautiful. I do however get very bad FPS and looong load times while on 3d any ideas?
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome!
DeleteThe bad FPS is unfortunately due to sub-par optimization, and lack of SLI support (even though the instructions say to set the SLI setting on in the .ini file). A member in the Geforce forums has reported in his testing that turning down the Level of Detail setting to low provided the best performance increase, so you might want to try that.
The long loading times has been discovered due to enabling V-sync, so turn that off in the game settings, and either limit the FPS or turn on adaptive V-sync in the Nvidia control panel.
Great man. Appreciate all the work you guys do!! You have no idea!
DeleteI remember signing up a petition back in like 2012 to bring this game to Pc, and I even shared it on facebook for all of my friends to sing it. I've always wanted to play it, but I refused to get it on consoles, because I play all of my single player games on 3D now. When it was finally announced I couldn't believe it. I counted the months waiting for it. it was an instant preorder, and so far I haven't been disappointed. So, again, thank you very much for helping make this a reality :)
With huge monsters and monumental buildings game looks spectacular in 3D
ReplyDeleteGood thanks for the update. Any way to get this to work ResonantENB or any other ENB for the matter?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Yessir! I actually just provided instructions on the Geforce forums the other day for exactly this. I'll copy them over here for you.
DeleteAssuming you already have the 3D Vision fix installed, do the following steps:
1) Rename the Helix wrapper d3d9.dll file that you've already copied into the Dragon's Dogma folder as d3d9HLX.dll.
2) Get the ENB version 300 from here http://enbdev.com/download_mod_dragonsdogma.htm
3) Extract only the d3d9.dll file from the wrapper version folder in the archive and put that in the Dragons Dogma folder.
4) Get the ENB preset of your choosing (here's the link for the Rudy ENB that I'm currently using: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/77/?) and copy the enblocal.ini & enbseries.ini files and the enbseries folder from the preset archive into the Dragon's Dogma folder.
5) Edit the enblocal.ini file, and in the Proxy section have the following lines:
EnableProxyLibrary=true
InitProxyFunctions=true
ProxyLibrary=d3d9HLX.dll
6) Launch the game, when game loads you'll noticed shadows will likely be broken if your ENB uses detailed shadows (all the ones I tried did). To fix that,press Shift + Enter to bring up the ENB menu and remove the checkmark beside Detailed Shadows, and I also remove the checkmarks beside any DOF (don't like using DOF in 3D Vision).
7) Click Save Configuration, and Press Shift+Enter to close the ENB menu, and it should all be set.
Thank you I assume it worked. but I didnt see much improvement with ENB mode in 3d. I used Ruby. I think it actually looked worse. I was hoping to get more vibrant colors. Thank you DJ for all of your help.
ReplyDeletethanks alot for the fix , though it contradicts with the surround fix , any suggestion would be appreciated
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the map does not act like its part of the HUD, it stays in the foreground making it impossible to use the depth settings properly. Even with HUD off the frame of the map stays on screen. Everythings else seems to work well and runs well. Anything I can do to sort this?
ReplyDeleteThat used to be an issue with a previous version of the fix, but that was fixed in the latest version. Haven't played in a while to know if any game updates have broken anything with the fix, but I'll see if I can check that out tomorrow, maybe. Did you try cycling through the HUD depth presets by pressing the 'P' key?
DeleteHey man, thanks for the response! Yes I have used the P key to toggle the depth, only on the "surface" depth does the map render correctly. Everything else goes in depth apart from the frame of the map and the map itself (the map icons go into depth but render doubled due to being on a flat surface). Also turning off the HUD does not remove the map frame (the map does disappear however).
DeleteThe game looks amazing with the 3D fix, so I spent last night playing without the map enabled (confusing but pretty). After seeing it in 3D I do not think I could bring myself to play it in 2D. Thanks for making this possible, I have fingers crossed for a map fix as well. :)
Im going to try this, thank you! So far 3d vision looked horrible, artifacts and all kinds of nonsense...
ReplyDeleteDoes this fix work with the 'enhanced' version, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen? This is one of those games that I'd not be aware of, were it not for being listed on IGN as one of the best games of the last decade; I'd like to check it out, but I normally can't bring myself to buy a game only to play in 2D, given the option.
ReplyDeleteUses the same game engine, so not impossible. Typically updates always jack with the shaders though, and break the fix because the hash codes change. Can't quite tell if that happened here. If it's a remake or change from Xbox to XBox One type thing, it breaks. If it's just a bundle of GOTY type stuff it will likely work.
DeleteMight be worth buying it on Steam, and try it out. If it's broken, you can refund it.
I am also interested in this one, if it's working in 3D. Currently it's on sale on Steam (Dark Arisen).
DeleteYes, it works perfectly fine with Dark Arisen, I just tried it.
DeleteI got Fatal Error : Memory Overun after the loading screen...how can i fix it !?
ReplyDeletemust be something with your system. I just ran the game on Win10 20H2 - perfect 3D.
Deletebtw, game looks awesome for a DX9 game!
Not sure if anyone will see this, but I just randomly stumbled across this mod and was wondering what exactly it did. I've been working on improving the game's visuals for a long time, and the part up top that says fixed lighting/shadows caught my eye. I don't really see anything online about it, and I'm missing the difference in the pictures up top. Could someone maybe give me a rundown?
ReplyDeleteThis mod fixes the game so it can be played in stereoscopic 3D. The pictures up top are stereo images which you can view using cross-eye technique or 3D hardware of any form, including VR headsets.
DeleteThis fix itself doesn't modify the visuals, just fixes them so they draw properly in 3D. You can use the HelixMod tool to fix DX9 game effects, but it can be hard to work with.
hello, first let me thank you for this amazing fix :)
ReplyDeletei'm curious to know if there is a way to make your fix working along with this vulkan layer https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.1, it fixes performance issue with this game, i'm using helixvision in VR and i was not able to get it working cause one of the 2 files is also called D3D9.dll, so i'm wondering if maybe there is a way, either by renaming, or proxy loading, i'm total noob, so asking here, hope you dont mind :)
