Last Updated: 2/14/16

What this mod does:
- Utilizes Helix's LUA script to fix various shadows & lights
- Fixes fog, reflections & lightshafts
- Disables white outline around the main character & some lens flare effects
- Adds a low convergence preset on the 'Z' key.
- Adds a medium & high convergence preset on the 'C' key.

Remaining Issues:
- Bloom from light sources looks a little incorrect when up close
- Some newspaper clippings have uneven text

Installation:
1)  Download this ZIP file and extract the contents into the directory "..\Murdered Soul Suspect\Binaries\Win64\"
2)  In the directory"..\Murdered Soul Suspect\Engine\Config\", open the file "BaseEngine.ini"
3)  Where it says "AllowNvidiaStereo3d=", change it to from False to True.  Save the file & exit.

For the Steam Version:
4)  In the Steam directory, delete the file "GameOverlayRenderer64.dll".
5)  Open the Steam client and in your Steam library, right click on "MURDERED: SOUL SUSPECT" and select "Properties"
6)  Click "Set Launch Options"
7)  In the box, type -dx9 and click "Ok"

For the DVD version:
- Run the game using the included shortcut "Murdered Soul Suspect- Helixmod.bat" 

Note-- This fix was tested with all graphics settings maxed out.

  4. Thanks 4everAwake!

    I remember stop playing this game, because of the constant 2D movies/cinematics every 5 min. Further in game this change somehow...less 2D cinematics every 5 min?

    1. There's still a lot of 2D cutscenes, unfortunately. But I don't think it's as much as the beginning.

  5. Thank you 4everAwake :-)

    I started this on a laptop traveling/2d, then a little in stock compatibility, then now your fix, makes this truly playable. A trippy game and fun wandering around.

    Fwiw, on my surround box it needs Flawless WS, but FWS only seems to fix dx11, not dx9, or I probably need to tweak something. I have a post at wsgf and will report back if I hear.

    In any case, still have my H5360 box, so playing on that is probably better anyway!
    Take care,
