        Sorry. I think I made a mistake in one of the files. Re-download the fix and let me know if you are still having mouse problems.

      after latest Dead Effect 2 update game comes out as monoscopic with IR emitter on. -force-d3d9 is no longer a launch option as with that it was stereoscopic with horrific shadow issues. to force dx3dn the launch option is -dx9 but as that worked pre update now it is just monoscopic with 3D triggered

      even when I run in dx9 exclusive mode (from steam client only, does not work with shortcuts) the shadows and lighting is all wrong even on low depth/convergence settings and no matter how much depth/convergence I toy with it is very straining on my eyes. I winder if the new update broke the mod as one feature it mentioned in the update log is that they updated the engine to the latest Unity engine build.

      Yup. Fix is no longer working. Looks like this would be pretty decent in 3D.

      You can always use This Technique to download the older version that works. Update for this games suggests mostly armor and weapons additions. And setting up for DLC.

        Updates don't add anything particularly useful. 3D is much more interesting.

        Looks like proper manifest for the working game version is:

      Thanks! This worked well. The game looks great now. I did not know about the Steam Depot.
